Privacy Fence Installation Houston TX | Call Fence & Gates of Houston

Look for small, circular dents or chips in wood or vinyl, cracked or splintered boards, and chipped paint. On metal fences, you might see dimples or rust spots forming where the coating is broken. If your fence is near the Galleria or in parts of Katy that got heavy hail, check the top edges and west-facing sides first, as they take the brunt of storms.

First, we assess if the posts are still sound or if they need replacing. For wind-toppled sections, we reset the posts with concrete, often deeper than original installs, and use extra brackets. We also recommend spacing the pickets slightly—about 1/8 inch—to let wind pass through instead of pushing the whole fence over. This is a common fix in neighborhoods like Memorial or Montrose where gusts can blow through open lots.

Yes. For hail-prone areas like Cypress or Jersey Village, we can add a clear protective coating to vinyl fences to reduce impact damage, or replace weakened wood with impact-resistant materials. For wind-prone spots, we install heavier-gauge posts, add wind straps, and secure the bottom rails with galvanized screws. These upgrades help your fence withstand Houston’s typical gust fronts without needing a full replacement.
