What Our Customers Say

Three posts snapped in the windstorm. They came out fast, set new posts in concrete and saved the panels instead of pushing a whole new fence. Honest people.
Dan K.
Storm damage repair
Our driveway gate dragged for years. They rebuilt it with a steel frame and now it swings with one finger.
Greg P.
Gate rebuild
They showed us photos of the rot under the deck before touching anything and only fixed what needed fixing. Fair and honest.

Is Your Lake Oswego Fence Losing the Fight With the Hill?

Shade, slope and retaining walls set the pattern for fence repair in Lake Oswego. Wood under big trees stays damp, hillside posts lean downhill, and fences fixed to walls work loose.

Many Lake Oswego fences were built in the 1970s on wooded, sloped lots. Under tall trees the boards and posts rarely dry out, so moss settles in and the wood at the soil line softens. On a slope, gravity does the rest: soft posts lean downhill and the panels follow.

A fence repair on these lots starts with the posts. We dig out the failed ones, set new posts with drainage at the bottom, and on steep runs add bracing so the line holds. Panels that are still sound go back up; moss-soaked boards near the ground get replaced, and a kickboard keeps the new ones out of the dirt.

Where the fence sits on a retaining wall, the problem is often the anchors, not the wood. Brackets rust or pull out, and the fence starts to rock. We re-anchor it, and if you want the fence taller while we're there, we keep the wall and fence together under 8 feet as the city requires.

The 1970s were Lake Oswego's busiest building decade (23.9%), so many fences here have stood for decades on shady, sloped lots — prime ground for rot and downhill lean.

What Affects the Cost of Fence Repair in Lake Oswego

These are the points that size a Lake Oswego fence repair.

  • Slope

    Steep runs mean more bracing, harder digging and carrying by hand.

  • Posts to reset

    Each failed post is dug out and set again on a drained base.

  • Wall anchors

    Re-anchoring a fence on a retaining wall takes special hardware.

  • Roots

    Big roots near a post can mean moving it a little along the line.

  • Board replacement

    Moss-soaked lower boards are swapped and a kickboard added.

Lake Oswego Fence Repair Questions

Why does my Lake Oswego fence keep leaning downhill?
Posts on a slope carry the weight of the fence and the soil pushing from above. Once they soften at the ground, they tip. New posts with drainage and bracing fix it.
Can you clean the moss off while you repair the fence?
We replace the moss-soaked boards at the bottom and add a kickboard. A cleaning and stain afterward slows the moss coming back.
My fence on the retaining wall is loose. Can it be saved?
Usually. The fix is new anchors or brackets into the wall, and replacing any posts that have rotted where they meet it.
Can I rebuild my street-side fence at its old height?
If it's within 10 feet of the street, a rebuilt section has to meet the city's 4-foot limit there, unless your road is one of the listed exceptions.
