Redwood Park has been a residential suburb since 1959, so its homes come with mature gardens, big trees and fences that have been patched more than once. The job we're called for most here isn't the fence at all, it's the side gate. Whatever's sticking, sagging or leaning, Lee will find the cause and fix it properly.
A gate that drags, needs lifting to latch, or swings open on its own is annoying every single day. In an established suburb, the cause is usually one of four things:
Years of use stretch the pins and holes, and the gate drops at the latch end.
If the post has rotted or the footing has shifted, adjusting the hinges only buys a few weeks.
Timber gates dry out and go out of square, so they bind on the opening.
Once the gate drops even a few millimetres, the latch no longer meets its keeper.
Lee checks each of these before quoting. A gate that only needs new hinges is a quick job; a gate with a failed post needs the post fixed first, or the problem comes back.
✓ Cause Found Before Quoting
✓ Posts Fixed First
✓ Gates That Latch Properly
✓ Each Section in Its Own Material
✓ Solid Joins Between Old & New
Many Redwood Park fences have been extended, patched or partly replaced over the decades, so one boundary can include several generations of fencing. We repair each section in its own material and make sure the joins are solid:
Established gardens are a big part of Redwood Park's appeal, and they are also hard on fences.
Roots lift footings and push posts out of line.
Falling branches flatten panels in winter storms.
We repair the damaged section and, where possible, re-set posts clear of roots.
Removing large trees or roots is a job for an arborist, and we'll say so if that's needed first.
A wobbly gate or leaning fence is one of the first things a buyer or property manager notices. If you're preparing a Redwood Park home for sale or a new tenancy, we can work through a list in one visit:
"I had a gap between my fence post and gate, Lee fixed the gap and now the gate latches perfectly. Not to mention the few other repairs that were needed around the house. Lee is knowledgeable, friendly and very reasonably priced. Thanks Lee, I am very happy"
"Very impressed with Lee. He did an excellent job repairing the eaves on my house. I would highly recommend him. He was friendly, reasonably priced and a very skilled carpenter."
Usually the hinge post is moving. Once the post is loose or rotted, hinge adjustments won't hold. Lee will check the post and re-set or replace it if needed.
Yes. Where the rest of the fence is sound, we repair just the damaged section and match it as closely as practical.
We can re-set posts and repair panels around roots in most cases. If the tree itself needs work, we'll recommend an arborist first.
