Above The Rest Construction | Trusted Fencing Company in San Antonio, TX

San Antonio's clay-rich soil expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells, causing fence posts to shift or lean over time. This movement, combined with improper installation, leads to loose posts and sagging gates. Above The Rest Construction addresses this by setting posts in concrete footings below the frost line and using gravel drainage to manage soil moisture.

Look for orange-brown discoloration, flaking metal, or difficulty opening gates. Rust often starts on hinges, latches, and screws—especially in humid areas or near sprinklers. If left unchecked, it can weaken the hardware, leading to gate sag or failure. Our team can replace rusted parts with galvanized or stainless steel options for long-term protection.

For rusted hardware, we remove all affected components, clean the mounting areas, and install new corrosion-resistant hinges, latches, and screws. For unstable posts, we dig out the old post, enlarge the hole, set the new post in concrete, and add gravel for drainage. We also check and reinforce surrounding posts to prevent future shifting.
