Burien broken garden gate repair
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards deal with a lot of soft, wet winters and occasional summer sun that dries edges quickly. Wooden gates can sag, rot at the bottom, or have rusty hinges from salt air and persistent moisture, while yard slopes and compacted clay make proper drainage and gate alignment harder. Landlords and homeowners often want a safe, low‑maintenance gate that keeps tenants, pets, and tools secure without frequent repairs.
Common problems include loose posts from wet soil, warped boards from repeated wet/dry cycles, and latch failures that let wind or pets push a gate open. On sloped lots near Seahurst Park or toward White Center, gates tend to rub on frames and wear faster. The goal most property owners share is durable, tidy results that limit repeat visits and use sustainable methods — think rot‑resistant repairs, breathable finishes, and organic vegetation control rather than chemical herbicides.
Our Quality Service
We assess problems with an eye for local rain patterns, soil softness, and slope-driven stress points. Repairs use mechanical fixes first — realigning posts, reinforcing frames, and replacing or resetting hinges and latches. Finishes and materials are chosen for moisture resistance and longevity so you see fewer callbacks.
Benefits include improved safety for tenants and pets, better curb appeal for rentals or resale, and lower maintenance over time. All work focuses on sustainable practices like reuse, recycled materials where possible, and organic weed control.
What’s Included
- Onsite inspection and written estimate.
- Post resetting or new post pockets where needed.

Before & After / Expectations
After repair expect a gate that opens smoothly, latches reliably, and sheds water better. To keep it that way: check hardware seasonally, sweep the threshold, and clear debris that traps moisture. In Burien’s damp climate, reapply finish every few years and pull ivy early to stop regrowth from undermining posts.
