Questions and Answers
Why are my fence boards cracking so quickly in DeSoto, and what can be done?
The primary cause is prolonged exposure to intense Texas sunlight and heat, which dries out the wood. Over time, this leads to splitting and cracking. The best solution is regular weatherproofing. Our fence weatherproofing service applies a sealant that blocks UV rays and moisture, significantly extending the life of your fence. If boards are already cracked, we can repair or replace individual sections rather than your entire fence.
My automatic gate latch keeps getting stuck or breaks. What’s the sign of a bigger problem?
A sticky or failing latch is often a sign that the gate itself is out of alignment. Heat and ground shifting in DeSoto can cause fence posts to lean, putting stress on the latch mechanism. If you ignore it, you risk breaking the automatic gate operator or the latch entirely. Our solution is to first realign the gate and repair the fence or post, then replace or adjust the latch. We'll also inspect the automatic gate wiring to ensure the motor isn't straining.
I have a manual gate that’s hard to open after the summer heat. Can you convert it to automatic?
Yes, absolutely. A manual gate that drags or binds is a perfect candidate for an automatic conversion. The heat can swell wood and warp metal tracks, adding friction. Our manual to automatic door conversion service includes repairing the gate's alignment and hinges first, then installing a reliable automatic opener with safety sensors. This gives you convenient, keyless entry and removes the daily struggle of a swollen, stiff gate.
