Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a fence gate to sag in Houston, TX?
In Houston, gate sagging is often caused by the combination of heavy wooden gates, high humidity, and the expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture. The weight of the gate can slowly pull the hinges out of alignment over time, especially if the fence posts weren't set deeply enough. Our team can assess your posts, hinges, and gate frame to correct the sag and reinforce it against Houston's weather.
How do I fix a gate that won't latch properly?
A gate that won't latch usually indicates an alignment problem, often from sagging or a shifted post. First, check if the gate is level and if the hinges are tight. If the gate has dropped, we can realign the hinges, add a tension bar, or adjust the latch height. For Houston homes, we often recommend adding a wheel or anti-sag kit to keep the gate aligned long-term.
What services can help weatherproof my wooden fence in Houston?
To weatherproof a wooden fence in Houston, we offer fence weatherproofing, staining, and painting with moisture-resistant sealants. Regular weatherproofing prevents rot, warping, and fading from the intense sun and heavy rain. We can also add gutter downspout extensions to direct water away from fence posts. Our team can repair or replace damaged boards before applying a protective coat to extend your fence's life.
