Fence Repair & Painting in Aubrey, TX | AAA Restoration

In Aubrey, the main cause of fence post erosion is the expansive clay soil that holds moisture and expands during wet periods, then shrinks and pulls away from the wood in dry spells. Over time, this cycle loosens the soil around the post, leading to leaning or rot. Additionally, heavy rains can wash away the soil, exposing the post base to moisture and insects. Regular inspections of post bases for soft wood or shifting concrete can help catch erosion early.

Look for visible cracks in the wood, especially along the grain, which often worsen after hot, dry weather. Posts that wobble or lean, rusted nails or screws, paint peeling or fading, and sections that feel soft or spongy when pressed are all signs your fence needs attention. For gates, check if they drag or don’t latch properly. Staining or painting every 3–5 years can prevent moisture damage and cracking common in Aubrey’s sun exposure.

AAA Restoration addresses heat-related fence damage by first assessing which boards have cracked or warped. We replace damaged sections with local weather-resistant wood, then sand the surface for a smooth finish. Next, we apply a high-quality stain or paint to seal the wood against UV rays, preventing future cracking. For older fences, we reinforce posts with concrete anchors or replace eroded post bases. Our team also recommends periodic recoating to match Aubrey’s sun intensity, ensuring your fence stays sturdy and attractive for years.
