All Around Home Repair - Temple's Local Fence Installation

Look for orange or brown discoloration on hinges, latches, or screws, especially after wet seasons. In Temple’s humid climate, rust can also cause stiff operation or difficulty opening and closing gates. If you notice these signs, it’s time for a professional inspection and repair.

The main cause is prolonged exposure to moisture, heat, and soil conditions common in Central Texas. Wood can rot or warp, while metal hardware corrodes over time. Poor initial installation or lack of weatherproofing can accelerate this process, leading to leaning posts or broken panels.

We start by removing rust with a wire brush or chemical treatment, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and a weather-resistant paint or stain. For severely damaged hardware, we replace it with galvanized or stainless steel options. We also recommend periodic weatherproofing to prevent future rust.
