Cortez Fencing | Best Residential Fencing in Brady, TX

Brady’s soil contains a high percentage of clay that expands when wet and contracts during dry spells. This movement loosens the soil around standard post holes, causing the posts to tilt or settle unevenly. Cortez Fencing solves this by digging deeper holes and setting posts in a concrete pier that reaches below the active soil layer, providing a stable anchor that won’t shift with the seasons.

Look for orange-brown discoloration or tiny pits on hinges, latch plates, and screw heads — these are early signs of rust. If you notice squeaky gates that no longer close tightly, or if hardware feels rough when touched, moisture has likely started corroding the metal. Cortez Fencing inspects every fitting and replaces compromised hardware with marine-grade galvanized or stainless steel parts that resist rust in Brady’s humid climate.

A sagging gate usually means the hinge screws or framing brackets have corroded or loosened. Cortez Fencing removes the old hardware, reinforces the gate frame with anti-rust screws, and installs new heavy-duty hinges designed to carry the load. We also check the gate post for any lean and re-plumb it if needed. The result is a gate that swings freely and stays level for years.
