Fence Contractor in Olympia WA
Fence Installation & Repair Services in Olympia, Washington
Olympia is a city that takes its yards seriously. From the tree-lined streets of the East Side to the waterfront neighborhoods near Budd Inlet, homeowners here put real care into their properties. A well-built fence is a big part of that. It adds privacy, security, and curb appeal all at once.
But Olympia's climate makes fence work more demanding than in other parts of the state. Our cool, wet winters soak the ground for months. Posts shift. Wood rots. Gates fall out of alignment. Choosing the right materials and getting the installation right the first time matters more here than most places.
Olympia Fencing Company installs and repairs fences and gates across Olympia. We know this city, and we know what holds up here.

What We Install
We install a full range of fence types across Olympia:
- Cedar wood fences — A classic look that suits Olympia's natural surroundings. Cedar resists rot better than most woods, which matters here.
- Vinyl fences — Low maintenance and moisture resistant. Vinyl holds up through our wet winters without rotting, warping, or needing a fresh coat of paint.
- Chain link fences — Durable, affordable, and practical. Galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link resists rust even through months of rain.
- Aluminum fences — A cleaner, more finished look with strong resistance to rust. A solid fit for Olympia's wet climate.
- Ornamental iron fences — Built to impress, with the maintenance to match. We'll help you decide if this is the right fit before you commit.
Why Installation Quality Matters Here
Olympia's soil gets saturated every winter. Posts set at the wrong depth or without proper drainage will shift over time. When posts shift, the whole fence moves with them.
We set every post to handle our local soil conditions. That means the right depth, the right concrete mix, and the right drainage. You won't be calling us a year later to fix a leaning fence.
Fence Repair in Olympia, WA
Even a well-built fence takes a beating over time. Our winters are hard on wood especially. Moisture seeps into boards. Rot sets in at the base. Wind knocks sections loose. A fence that looked great five years ago can start showing its age fast.
The good news is that most fences don't need full replacement. A targeted repair often gets years of life back out of a fence.
Signs Your Fence Needs Repair
Watch for these warning signs:
- Boards that are warped, cracked, or soft at the base
- Posts that rock or lean when you push on them
- Sections that sag or pull away from posts
- Visible rot at ground level
- Rust along metal rails or hardware
Don't wait on repairs. A leaning post puts stress on everything around it. One soft board lets moisture spread to the boards next to it. Small problems grow into bigger ones through every rainy season.
We assess what's actually failing and fix what needs fixing. We don't push full replacements when a repair will do the job.
Gate Installation in Olympia, WA
A fence without a good gate is only half finished. The gate is the part of your fence you interact with every single day. It needs to swing smoothly, latch securely, and hold its alignment through years of use.
We install wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link gates sized to fit your property. Whether you need a simple walk-through gate or a wide drive-through gate, we build it to handle the weight and weather conditions specific to Olympia.
We also install automatic gate openers for homeowners who want added convenience or security. If you're considering an automatic gate, we can walk you through the right options before installation day.
Gate Repair in Olympia, WA
Gates fail for a few predictable reasons. Posts lean. Hinges wear out. Latches stop catching. Heavy gates sag under their own weight over time.
In Olympia, wet winters speed all of this up. Wooden gate posts soak up water and slowly shift in the ground. Metal hardware rusts if it isn't properly coated.
We fix sagging gates, replace worn hinges and latches, reset leaning posts, and repair gates that won't close cleanly. If your gate is fighting you every time you use it, we can figure out why and fix it.

FAQs

Of course! We provide free quote's for all fencing projects so you have the information you need to make a clear decision.
What type of fence holds up best in Olympia's wet winters?
Cedar wood, vinyl, and aluminum all perform well in Olympia's climate. Cedar resists rot better than most woods, but it needs sealing every two to three years. Vinyl and aluminum need almost no maintenance and won't rot or rust through our rainy season. The best choice depends on your budget and how much upkeep you want to take on.
How do I know if my fence needs repair or full replacement?
Most fences don't need full replacement. If the damage is limited to a few boards, a leaning post, or worn hardware, a repair will usually do the job. Full replacement makes more sense when rot or damage has spread across most of the fence, or when the posts have shifted badly. The best way to know for sure is to have someone come out and take a look.
How long does fence installation take in Olympia?
Most residential fence installations take one to two days. Larger properties or more complex projects may take longer. Wet weather can affect the timeline, since concrete needs time to cure properly in saturated soil. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we start so you know what to expect.
