EDR Property Maintenance | Trusted Commercial Fencing in Hutto, TX

Hutto's intense summer sun and temperature swings cause the wood in decks to expand and contract. Over time, this leads to surface cracking and splintering. If you notice rough or raised grain, it's a sign that your deck's protective sealant has worn off. EDR Property Maintenance can assess the damage and recommend either a deep sanding and reseal or a full deck replacement if the wood is too far gone.

Look for small orange or reddish-brown spots on the metal, especially near the ground or where the fence connects to posts. This is a sign of rust, which is common in Hutto due to humidity and occasional rain. If left untreated, the corrosion can weaken the fence structure. EDR Property Maintenance can replace corroded sections or install a new, corrosion-resistant chain link fence that will last longer in our climate.

Small cracks can often be filled with a wood filler and then sealed with a UV-resistant stain. However, larger cracks or splits usually mean the board is compromised. EDR Property Maintenance will replace the damaged boards and apply a high-quality weatherproofing treatment to protect the rest of the fence. We also recommend annual inspections to catch cracking early before it spreads.
