Bringing your fence back to life—rain or shine.
When your fence leans, shifts, or shows its age, PNW Fence & Gate restores it with care and craftsmanship. We’re a local, family-owned company serving Chehalis, Centralia, and Tumwater, specializing in fence and gate repair designed to handle Pacific Northwest rain, wind, and soil conditions.
Whether your posts are tilting from saturated ground, your gate drags on uneven soil, or storm debris damages a section, our team delivers strong, clean, lasting results.
Why Regular Fence Maintenance Matters in the Pacific Northwest
In our region, fences endure a little of everything—weeks of rain, shifting clay soil, moss growth, and cold nights that freeze and thaw the ground. Across the lowlands of Lewis County, fences often lean after winter storms because the soil remains wet for months. Farther north, shaded yards near Olympia and Tumwater see more moss and mildew buildup, which softens posts and boards.
If left unchecked, these conditions lead to premature rot, warping, and misaligned panels. Routine inspection and timely repair prevent small problems from becoming full rebuilds—protecting both your investment and your property’s privacy.
That’s why local homeowners count on PNW Fence & Gate to spot issues early, stabilize posts, and use materials that resist constant moisture.

Material-Specific Repair Expertise
Wood Fences (Cedar & Pressure-Treated Pine)
We replace broken pickets, rails, and posts. We use pre-stained cedar that matches the existing color and grain. The cut ends are sealed to keep moisture out. All fasteners are corrosion-resistant. This ensures a durable and seamless repair.
Vinyl Fences
Cracked panels are replaced with matching profiles and UV-stable components. We reinforce posts with concrete collars. This helps prevent movement. Soft soils and seasonal saturation throughout Southwest Washington can cause instability. Our methods ensure stability in these areas.
Steel & Ornamental Iron Fences
We remove rust from surfaces. Then, we re-prime to protect against corrosion. We also touch up powder-coated areas. Loose sections are fixed with welded or bolted zinc-coated hardware. This ensures durability, especially in our damp climate.
Chain-Link & Agricultural Fencing
We stretch and re-tie the fabric. We replace bent rails. We secure anchors. These are vital tasks, especially in rural properties near Adna, Galvin, and Bucoda. Frost heave and livestock impact often loosen them. Our work keeps properties stable and secure.
Common Fence Issues We Fix
Our technicians see a lot of familiar problems across Lewis and Thurston Counties—and we’ve built reliable solutions for each.
- Leaning or shifting posts – Often caused by clay-rich soils or months of standing water after winter rains common across Southwest Washington.
- Broken or missing panels – Damaged by wind, branches, or vehicle contact; replaced to match existing design.
- Wood rot and discoloration – Common in shaded yards where moss holds moisture; we remove decay and treat surrounding boards.
- Rust and corrosion – For steel and chain-link fences, we sand, re-coat, and replace rusted fasteners.
- Sagging gates or hinge wear – Gates are re-aligned, leveled, and reinforced with upgraded hardware.
- Storm and wind damage – From winter gusts to fallen trees, we perform section-by-section restoration quickly and safely.
Whatever the issue, our goal is simple: restore the fence’s strength, function, and appearance—without unnecessary replacement.
Quick Fence Health Checklist
- Posts shift more than 1 inch when pushed
- Gates no longer latch or drag on the ground
- Panels show visible rot, rust, or separation
- Boards feel soft or loose after heavy rain
What Affects Fence Repair Pricing
Every property and problem is unique, which is why we assess each job in person before quoting. Here are the main factors that shape repair scope:
- Type and Extent of Damage – A loose rail requires less work than a post reset or full gate alignment.
- Material Type – Cedar expands and contracts with humidity; vinyl may crack in cold snaps; steel needs rust-resistant coatings.
- Fence Age and Integrity – Older installations may require reinforcement before repair to prevent future movement.
- Site Conditions – Steep slopes through South Central Lewis County and poor drainage near Thurston County wetlands.
- Accessibility – Tight spaces or landscaping can add setup time.
- Gate and Automation Components – Powered systems and heavy gates demand certified technicians and specialized adjustments.
Each estimate is custom—fair, transparent, and based on actual site conditions. We’ll walk you through the reasoning so you always understand the work being done.
Why Homeowners Choose Us
Built to Handle PNW Weather
Every repair is designed for the environment we live in. Posts are set deep—typically 36 to 42 inches—in concrete that’s mixed for wet conditions. We adjust each hole’s depth and drainage angle to shed water instead of trapping it. Hardware is stainless or galvanized to stop corrosion, and all cut ends of wood are sealed before reinstallation.
AFA-Certified Gate Technicians
Gates and operators require precision. Our two American Fence Association-certified automatic gate technicians align hinges, recalibrate sensors, and repair swing or slide systems safely—whether mechanical or automated.
Transparent, No-Pressure Service
We start with a free on-site estimate. You’ll know exactly what needs attention and why before work begins. We’ll repair what’s necessary, never what’s unnecessary.
Backed by a 2-Year Craftsmanship Warranty
A two-year warranty on labor and craftsmanship covers every fence or gate repair. Our repairs are built to endure the Northwest’s wet, windy seasons.

The PNW Fence & Gate Difference
Premium American-Made Materials
We rely on U.S.-manufactured components because they hold up better against Southwest Washington humidity and temperature swings. From cedar to galvanized steel, each part meets high durability standards.
Superior Construction Methods
Posts are set below frost depth and crowned at the surface to divert rainwater. We use stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners — never untreated screws that rust and stain wood. This craftsmanship means fewer callbacks and longer life.
Sustainable Practices
Whenever possible, we reclaim and recycle steel offcuts and responsibly source cedar from mills that support sustainable forestry.
Local Commitment
We live where we work. From Lewis County neighborhoods to Thurston County farms and communities, our reputation depends on doing the job right.
