Burien replace gate hinges
Homeowner’s Issue
Gates in this area face a specific set of challenges: year-round moisture, frequent overcast winters, moss and rot on wood posts, and occasional slope-driven drainage that shifts posts over time. Clay-to-loam soils and shaded corners near properties bordering Seahurst Park or Lake Burien make hinges seize, rust, or pull out of frames. Landlords and homeowners want secure, low-maintenance gates that swing smoothly, resist corrosion, and don’t require constant tweaking between tenants. Typical goals are improved curb appeal, safer entry for renters and visitors, and minimal upkeep so gates last through wet winters without chemical treatments.
Our Quality Service
We replace hinges using corrosion-resistant hardware sized to your gate and sustainable installation methods that respect wet-site soil and drainage. We adjust or reset posts when needed, use stainless or coated steel hinges, and protect wood with breathable, eco-friendly finishes — no herbicides or harsh chemicals. The result is a safer gate that stays aligned, reduces landlord calls, and looks tidy year-round.
What’s Included
- Assessment of gate, posts, and swing clearance.
- Removal of old hinges and careful installation of new hardware.
- Post reinforcement or realignment where required.
- Final adjustment and smooth-latch check.
- Site cleanup and responsible disposal or haul-away.
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric for adjacent beds to reduce mud and splashback.
- Organic lubricants and sustainable wood sealant.
- Haul-away vs. green bin disposal for old metal and wood.
Before & After / Expectations
After hinge replacement expect an immediate improvement in swing and security. For care: keep drainage clear around posts, reapply breathable sealant every 2–4 years, hand-lube hinge pins seasonally, and mechanically remove moss or ivy regrowth without chemicals. These steps keep the gate functioning longer in rainy, shaded spots.
