Fence Repair

Wood Fence Repair

Regular maintenance can keep your wooden fence looking beautiful. However, exposure to the elements will cause problems such as cracking and rotting posts, rails, and panels. When that happens, you must pay special attention to your fence. Hiring a professional fence repair contractor to repair or replace the affected part is usually quick and inexpensive and can prevent the damage from becoming severe.

Fence Support

If sections of the fence are leaning or sagging due to inadequate support or inclement weather, subsequent repairs may be required. Our professional fence contractors may need to reset or replace posts and reinstall or replace sections that have fallen off. Removing old fence posts and installing replacement posts can be tricky, but a good foundation is essential to keeping your fence upright.

Gate Problems Addressed

A sagging fence gate is an eyesore. If the gate fails to latch properly, it may not be secure enough to keep children and pets locked in your yard or unwanted visitors out. Straightening a crooked gate can be as simple as adjusting or replacing hardware or requiring some work on adjacent jambs or panels. Our experienced professionals plan the most effective repairs to keep your gate straight and safe.

Quality Repairs

Whatever the problem with your fence, hiring a professional to repair it is the best way to avoid costly problems down the road. Our experts can recommend materials and practices that are best suited for the Houston, TX, climate.

Damage From The Weather

Weather-related damage to fences can be caused by rain, snow, wind, and ice. It is important to note that this damage is not limited to just one season. Living in Houston, TX, you can almost always bet the sun—or the precipitation—will be at maximum capacity.

In addition to rotting wood and rusting metal, the sun can also cause warping in certain types of wood fences over time; this leads to cracking or splitting, eventually leading to failure altogether!

Worn Out and Damaged Posts

The most common cause for damaged posts is that the post has become rotten or worn and has broken and fallen off. It can happen significantly over time if trees grow near the fence.

Another reason a fence needs repair is if it has multiple posts that have been damaged naturally or by other factors (such as wind). If this happens, we recommend you replace it immediately to avoid unnecessary damage to your property.

Pest Damage

Pests can cause some damage to your fence. Pests can burrow or gnaw through fences, creating openings to enter your home.

Pests such as rodents will gnaw on the wires leading to the electrical system when there are openings in the fence line (such as the gap between two sections).

Wildlife like raccoons likes to nibble on electrical cords when they find them exposed outside their homes and prefer to eat meat over fruits and vegetables on the ground.

If you find any of these signs on your chain link fence, it is time to call a professional fence repair contractor who can solve your property problem.

Loose Wooden Pickets

The same problem can occur if the wooden slats are loose. Loose pickets can be caused by many factors, including:

• Dry rot and termites.
• A poorly maintained wrought iron fence exposed to strong winds and bad weather.
• A natural aging process that causes wood to age and become more susceptible to insect damage.

Cracks in the Concrete and Rotten Wood Posts

If you have concrete, wrought iron, or wood supports, you may have noticed that they crack and rot. It can be caused by many factors, such as:

• Concrete columns are prone to cracking due to moisture seeping under the concrete surface. The ground around the fence is likely to damp, cracking the base and weakening it over time.
• Wooden posts can rot without treatment from termites and wood-boring beetles (also known as termites). Termites are tiny insects that live inside a tree, eating away at its inner layers until they reach “heartwood,” which is softer than the outer layer but contains living cells.

If any of these signs are visible on your fence and you want to avoid more problems and an expensive replacement, hire a professional to inspect your fence and make repairs that will last. From changing gate hardware to replacing posts and panels, we can provide several options to restore and maintain your fence.
