Burien replace broken fence pickets

Homeowner’s Issue

Broken or rotted pickets are a common sight after our wet winters and variable summers. In Burien yards, heavy rain, clay-heavy patches, and shaded corners near mature trees speed wood decay and invite moss or mildew. Slopes and poor drainage push water toward fence posts and bases, while sun-exposed faces dry and crack faster. Owners often want a tidy, safe border that keeps pets in, hides trash cans, and improves curb appeal without a full fence replacement.

Most homeowners prefer options that reduce upkeep: durable materials, simple stain or seal routines, and fixes that don’t trap water. For rental properties or busy households near Seahurst Park or along the Highline corridor, fast, sustainable repairs mean fewer tenant complaints and less time dealing with ongoing rot. We focus on practical fixes that respect drainage, slope, and shade conditions—repairing pickets, addressing ground contact points, and suggesting low-maintenance finishes so your fence lasts longer with less work.

Our Quality Service

We assess fence condition with local weather and soil in mind, then replace only what’s needed to extend life and save money. All work uses sustainable practices—reuse where possible, hand removal of debris, and natural finishing options. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, reduced long-term maintenance, and sturdier drainage at the fence line.

What’s Included

  • Full inspection of fence line and posts
  • Removal of broken or rotted pickets
  • Installation of matching new pickets where possible
  • Basic cleanup and tidy haul-away

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric at fence base
  • Organic, manual weed and moss control
  • Full staining/sealing for uniform protection
  • Haul-away (dump) or green-bin/compost disposal options

Before & After / Expectations

After repairs, expect immediate improvement in appearance and security. New pickets should be sealed or stained within two weeks for best protection. Watch for ivy or run‑off re-establishing near shaded areas; remove regrowth manually and keep soil graded away from the fence base to limit moisture contact.

FAQs

Q: How long will a typical job take?
A: Small sections (5–15 pickets) often finish the same day; larger runs may take a day or two depending on drying for finishes.

Q: Do you use chemicals for weed or moss control?
A: No — we use organic and mechanical methods only, plus mulch and fabric to reduce future growth.

Q: Do you need access to the backyard?
A: Yes — safe, clear access on service day speeds work. We can coordinate gate entry or tenant scheduling.

Q: Can you match my existing picket style?
A: We aim to match profile and spacing; when exact matches aren’t available we blend new pickets and offer staining for a uniform look.
