Fence Builders Rockwall TX | Call Exterior Solutions

Sagging is usually caused by the weight of the gate pulling on its hinges, combined with soil movement from Rockwall's clay-rich ground. You might notice the gate dragging on the ground or not latching properly. Our team can tighten or replace the hinges, add a diagonal support brace, and adjust the latch. If the post has shifted, we can re-set it or install a gravel base to improve drainage and prevent future movement.

Common signs include a motor that hums but doesn't move, the gate reversing direction on its own, or a remote that won't trigger the opener. Often the issue is a dead battery in the backup system, a misaligned safety sensor, or worn gears. We can test the electrical connections, replace faulty components, and re-align sensors. For heavy or sagging gates, we may recommend reinforcing the gate itself before repairing the opener to avoid repeated breakdowns.

If the wood looks dry, has started to crack, or shows patches of gray discoloration, it's time to weatherproof. In Rockwall's hot summers and occasional wet spells, unprotected wood can warp or rot quickly. Our weatherproofing service includes cleaning the fence, applying a high-quality stain or sealer, and on older fences, replacing any rotted pickets or rails first. We can also paint or stain to match your home's exterior.
