Carey Lawn Care Services | Experienced Fence Contractors in Dallas, TX

Gate sagging is usually caused by heavy wood warping from humidity and heat, or loose hinges over time. In Dallas, the constant temperature swings can weaken hardware. We solve this by reinforcing the gate frame with galvanized brackets, adjusting hinge positions, and sometimes adding a wheel at the bottom for support. Our team also checks your fence posts for rot—common in clay soil—and replaces them if needed.

Look for vertical cracks, splintering, or boards that cup (curl) at the edges. In Dallas, direct sun exposure can dry out wood, causing it to shrink and crack. If you see peeling paint or bare spots that feel rough, the wood is losing its protective seal. We recommend calling us before cracks widen—we can replace damaged boards and apply a UV-blocking stain to prevent future issues.

Pressure washing is more than cosmetic! It removes dirt, mildew, and old paint that trap moisture and accelerate wood decay. In Dallas, where pollen and dust build up quickly, a clean fence allows new sealants to bond properly. After washing, we apply a high-quality wood preservative that reflects UV rays—this reduces the drying effect that leads to cracking. We always pair pressure washing with a thorough inspection for weak spots.
