Wood and Vinyl Fencing Burleson TX | Call Fort Worth's Yard Man

The main cause is our local clay soil, which expands and contracts with changes in moisture. This movement puts pressure on fence posts, causing them to shift. Over time, this can warp ornamental fencing, loosen sections, and cause gates to sag. Our fence repair service can reset the posts, replace damaged rails, and reinforce the structure to handle these soil shifts, providing a long-term fix.

Look for signs like the gate dragging on the ground, a gap between the gate and latch, or difficulty latching it smoothly. These are common symptoms of sagging hinges or a shifting post. For manual gates, we can true up the frame and install heavier-duty hinges. For automatic gates, we inspect the gate operator and arm, realign the posts, and adjust the limit switches. Our automatic gate repair and manual gate repair services will get your gate swinging like new.

Weatherproofing is key. Our process starts with cleaning the wood and applying a high-quality sealant or stain that matches your home. We also check for gaps and caulk them to prevent moisture intrusion. By scheduling regular fence painting or staining and weatherproofing as part of your landscape maintenance, you can significantly extend the life of your fence and gate. We recommend this service every 2-3 years for best results.
