Question Answers
Why is my wood fence warping in Houston's heat, and how can Family Fence fix it?
Houston's intense heat and humidity cause wood to expand and contract, leading to warping. Our solution involves using properly treated, kiln-dried lumber and allowing for adequate spacing during installation. For existing warped fences, we can often replace individual boards or adjust the framing. We also recommend weatherproofing treatments to minimize future damage.
What are the signs that my fence needs weatherproofing, and what services do you offer?
Common signs include fading, cracking, peeling paint, and water absorption (wood feels soft). Our fence weatherproofing service includes a thorough cleaning, application of high-quality sealants or stains, and caulking of gaps. We also offer painting or staining to restore color and add an extra layer of protection against the elements.
My automatic gate is stuck open. Can you repair it, and what's the typical cause?
Yes, we repair all types of automatic gates. Common causes in Houston include motor burnout from frequent use, sensor misalignment, or electrical issues from humidity. We’ll diagnose the problem, whether it’s a faulty motor, damaged wiring, or a simple sensor adjustment, and get your gate working smoothly and safely again.
