Gallegos Welding & Custom Gates: Top-Rated Fence Installation Serving Houston, TX 77029

Wood fence warping is commonly caused by Houston's prolonged heat and humidity, which can dry out or swell the boards. Signs include visible bowing, gaps between panels, or difficulty latching the gate. For a solution, we often reinforce the fence with additional bracing or replace severely warped boards with metal or heat-treated wood. If the warping is minor, we can re-secure the boards and apply a weatherproofing coating to help prevent future issues.

After a hailstorm, look for dents or dimples in metal fences, chipped paint on wrought iron, or splintered and cracked wood on wooden fences. If the damage is structural—like a loose gate or broken rail—it needs prompt repair. At Gallegos Welding & Custom Gates, we can patch or replace damaged sections, reinforce weak spots, and re-paint or seal the fence to match the rest of your property. We serve all areas of Houston, including the Galleria and West University.

Yes, weatherproofing is essential. A high-quality sealant protects against moisture infiltration after a hail storm and helps wood resist warping from the sun's heat. We recommend starting with a thorough cleaning, then applying a heat-reflective paint or stain. For best results, consider pairing weatherproofing with a metal fence or gate, which is naturally more durable against both elements. We offer weatherproofing as part of our installation and repair services for clients across Houston.
