ABA Fence Stain | Expert Fence Installation in Lubbock, TX

The extreme heat and intense sun in Lubbock cause moisture in the wood to evaporate unevenly, leading to warping, cracking, and cupping. Wood fences that aren't properly sealed or stained are especially vulnerable. ABA Fence Stain recommends using UV-resistant stains and performing regular weatherproofing to minimize damage.

If your gate won't close securely or you have to force it, the latch might be misaligned or broken. A stuck latch often just needs lubrication, but if there's visible rust, bent metal, or the latch doesn't engage, it's likely broken. ABA Fence Stain can quickly assess and repair or replace the latch for reliable operation.

We start by inspecting the affected boards—some may be reusable with refastening or planing, while others need replacement. Then we reinforce the framework and apply a high-quality stain or sealant to protect against future heat damage. For severely warped sections, we recommend replacing with treated lumber and adding expansion gaps.
