Aviles Fencing: Best Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Austin, TX 78748

Hailstorms are common in Austin, especially during spring. Large hailstones can dent, crack, or splinter wood fences, and they may bend or puncture metal panels. Look for uneven surfaces, chipped paint, or small holes in the wood. For metal fences, check for dents or warped sections. If you notice any of these signs after a storm, it's best to have a professional assess the damage before it worsens.

Austin's high humidity and occasional heavy rain accelerate rust on metal hardware like hinges, latches, and screws. Even galvanized steel can corrode over time if the coating wears off. Signs include orange-brown flakes, stiff movement, or visible pitting. The solution is to replace rusted hardware with stainless steel or powder-coated options, and apply a rust-inhibiting primer to any exposed metal. Regular cleaning and lubrication also help extend the life of your fence.

Absolutely. We frequently handle combined issues. After a hailstorm, we'll replace damaged panels and inspect all metal components for rust. We then swap out corroded hardware with weather-resistant alternatives and treat any remaining metal with protective coatings. This comprehensive approach ensures your fence is both visually restored and structurally sound for Austin's climate.
