Beaverton Fence Company for Cedar, Vinyl, Iron, and Custom Gates

So much of this suburb went up between the 1960s and the 1990s, and first-round fences used posts set shallow with concrete poured flush to the wood. Our winters keep that joint wet for months, so the post rots right at grade while the rest of the fence still looks fine. We set posts deeper, crown the concrete to shed water, and keep boards off the soil.

Yes, and in the southern hillside neighborhoods it comes up on most jobs. Bring us your CC&Rs or the architectural committee's spec sheet and we will match the required style, height, and stain. Where the standard allows options, we will tell you which version holds up better, since two fences that look identical on day one can age differently depending on fastener and post choices.

It depends on length, material, grade changes, and how much old fence we have to haul off, so we do not quote from the phone. What we will do is walk the property, measure it, and give you a firm written number for free. If a repair gets you five more good years, we will say so. You will not get a price built to be negotiated down.

At standard height, no permit is typically involved. Fences along the street side of your lot are held to shorter limits, though, and corner lots carry visibility requirements at intersections. Because the details are set by city code and can be updated, we verify what applies to your specific address when we prepare your estimate, and we handle any paperwork a taller fence requires.

Yes. Sloped yards are routine for us on Cooper Mountain and the hills around it. Depending on the pitch we either step panels or rack the framing so the bottom edge tracks the grade, and on the steepest runs we mix the two. Downhill posts get deeper footings because the hill leans on them all year. Your estimate will name the method for each run.

Lots that border the 222-acre preserve stay shaded and damp longer than open yards, which is hard on wood. We recommend lifting the bottom boards well clear of the soil, ground-contact-rated posts, and sometimes a switch to ornamental iron along the tree line so you keep the view and lose the moss problem. Deer pressure is worth discussing too if you garden.

Both. A dragging gate is usually a hinge post problem, not a gate problem, and resetting that one post is often all it takes. We also install automatic openers on new and existing gates, swing or slide, for home driveways and business lots. If the frame is racked beyond saving we will show you why before recommending a rebuild.

Not right away. New cedar needs to dry through before any stain will take, which generally means waiting between one and two months, longer on shaded lots, and we would rather you wait than seal moisture in. Apply during a dry window, then renew the coat periodically to keep the approved color. If your committee ever permits natural weathering, unstained cedar does fine in this climate and grays evenly.

The two of you do, and we build to the line you both identify or to survey markers already in the ground; no fence contractor can legally fix a property boundary. When neither household is sure, a surveyor's pin search is the affordable middle step, recovering recorded corner monuments without the expense of surveying the entire parcel. Worth settling early, because a fence over the line can be forced to move even years later.

Yes, hillside work continues all winter, and we plan pours so weather stays a non-issue. Curing concrete gains its strength from a chemical reaction with water, so a soggy week does not hurt a footing. What slows us is a long stretch below roughly 40 degrees, and Beaverton rarely strings many of those days together. Crews are also typically easier to schedule now than after the spring calls start stacking up.
