Fence Installation Houston TX | Call Fence and Siding Jose

Houston’s expansive clay soil shrinks and swells with moisture changes, which can loosen fence posts over time. Signs include leaning posts or gaps between the fence and ground. Our solution involves removing the unstable post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it in concrete with a gravel base for drainage. This prevents future shifting and keeps your fence sturdy for years.

Humidity, rain, and soil movement can cause gate posts to shift, putting stress on latches and causing them to jam or snap. Rust is also common. We replace broken latches with heavy-duty stainless steel models and realign the gate post if needed. For new installations, we use self-closing hinges and latches designed to handle Houston’s weather.

We start by digging post holes at least 24 inches deep—below the frost line and into stable soil. We add a layer of gravel for drainage, then set posts in concrete, ensuring they are plumb and level. For added stability, we use pressure-treated wood or rot-resistant materials. This method minimizes future leaning and keeps your fence looking straight and professional.
