Whether your privacy fence is leaning, a gate is dragging off its hinges, or you need a new installation from the ground up, we show up with the crew that will do the work. No subcontractors, no franchise phone lines. We're AFA Member Installers, fully insured, and we work in ZIP 97062 and across Greater Portland with the same honest approach: repair when it makes sense, replace when it doesn't, and always get the details right the first time.

Fence Installation and Repair in Tualatin (97062)

Tualatin's flat terrain and nine months of wet weather mean fence posts set at grade face constant moisture exposure. A post tamped into native soil will wick water year-round; a post set in concrete will hold longer, but concrete itself can crack and trap moisture around the base. We know the difference, and we size our footings and drainage details to keep posts sound through multiple seasons of rain.

We install wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, ornamental aluminum, and automatic driveway gates. We repair leaning fences, rotted posts, dragging gates, and storm damage. We replace entire fence runs when the cost of repair exceeds the value of the fix. Our team has been doing this work in Tualatin and the Portland area since 2016. We're AFA Member Installers, fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, and we can provide a certificate of insurance on request.

How a Fence Job Works in Tualatin

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (971) 521-9633 or contact us online. We come out to your property, look at what's there, talk through what you need, and give you an honest estimate. If it's storm damage, we document what we see so you can help file a claim with your insurance company. No charge for the visit.

Step 2: The Work. Before we dig any post holes, we call 811 for a utility locate (Oregon law requires it). We mark out the fence line from your existing survey or the line you identify. We set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install rails and pickets or panels to code, and make sure gates swing freely and close tight. If your lot has tight access or HOA setback rules, we work within those constraints. Tualatin's Washington County setback and height rules vary by zone, so we confirm requirements with the city before we start.

Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. We haul away all debris, sweep the work area, and walk the finished fence line with you. You'll know exactly what you got and how to maintain it going forward.

Pricing for fence work in Tualatin depends on the material, the length of the run, the condition of existing posts, and site access. A wood privacy fence starts at $32 per linear foot; vinyl runs from $42 per foot; chain link from $19 per foot; and ornamental aluminum from $46 per foot. Fence repair starts at $475. A full fence replacement or removal typically runs $2,650 and up, depending on the length and what's in the ground. Storm damage assessment is free. For an automatic driveway gate, budget from $3,100. The best way to know what your project will cost is to call us at (971) 521-9633 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the site, and give you a realistic price with no surprises.

Why do fence posts rot faster in Tualatin than in other parts of the Portland area?

Tualatin's flatter terrain and nine months of rain mean water sits at grade longer. Posts set in tamped soil or shallow concrete will wick moisture year-round. We set posts deeper in concrete and slope the grade away from the post base to shed water. Pressure-treated pine lasts longer than cedar in wet ground, but even treated wood will eventually rot if moisture stays in contact with the wood fiber. Vinyl and aluminum don't rot, but they still need proper post footings to stay plumb.

What should I do if my fence is leaning or my gate is dragging after a storm?

Call us right away at (971) 521-9633. We'll come out and assess the damage for free. If posts have shifted or concrete has cracked, we can often reset or replace individual posts without tearing down the whole fence. If a gate is dragging, we may be able to adjust the hinges or rehang it. If the damage is extensive, we'll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense. We can help you document the damage for your insurance claim.

How much does it cost to replace a leaning fence in Tualatin?

That depends on how much of the fence is salvageable. If only a few posts have failed, we might reset or replace just those posts for $475 and up per post. If the whole run has shifted or rotted through, a full replacement runs $2,650 and up for the removal and new installation. The only way to know is a free on-site estimate. Call (971) 521-9633.

Does Tualatin require a permit for a new fence?

Fence permits and height, setback, and material rules are set by the city of Tualatin and Washington County. Tualatin typically requires a permit for most residential fences, especially if the fence is taller than 6 feet or sits in a front yard. HOA rules in master-planned communities often add their own height, material, and color restrictions. We always recommend checking with the Tualatin building department and your HOA (if you have one) before we start. We can help you understand the rules, but the city and your HOA have the final say.

My neighbor's branches are hanging over my fence line in Tualatin. What are my options?

You own the branches that hang over your property line, and you can trim them back to the line. You cannot go onto your neighbor's property to do it. If the limbs are large or close to power lines, hire a professional. If the overhang is a persistent problem, talk to your neighbor first. If that doesn't work and you have an HOA, the HOA may have rules about tree maintenance. If you're in an unincorporated area, Washington County may have guidance. We can trim branches back to your property line if you want, but we don't remove trees or prune on someone else's land without their permission.

Are your crews fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. In Oregon, any construction work done for compensation requires a CCB license from the Construction Contractors Board, and we encourage you to verify that any contractor you hire meets all applicable state and local requirements.

What maintenance does a wood privacy fence need in Tualatin's wet climate?

Pressure-treated wood will last longer than cedar in Tualatin's wet conditions, but both need care. Keep gutters clean so water doesn't run down the fence line. Trim back any plants or brush that trap moisture against the fence. Every few years, inspect the base of posts where they meet the ground. If you see soft wood or discoloration, that's moisture damage starting. Catching it early means you can replace one post instead of a whole section. Staining or sealing a wood fence can slow rot, but it won't stop moisture from entering the wood fiber at the ground line. The real defense is good drainage and regular inspection.
