Gavarrete Fencing: Best Commercial Fencing Serving Austin, TX 78758

Austin hailstorms can leave small cracks, dents, or splintering on wood fences that aren't always obvious from a distance. Look for fresh wood chips at the base of posts, chipped paint or stain on cedar, or small dings on metal panels. Even minor cracks can lead to rot or rust over time. Gavarrete Fencing inspects each section individually and can often replace only the damaged pickets, rails, or panels, matching the existing style and wood type. This targeted repair saves you money and keeps your fence’s original look.

Vines, grass, and shrub roots can interfere with an automatic gate’s operation. Common signs include the gate hesitating or reversing unexpectedly, scraping sounds, or a sagging leaf. First, clear any vines or debris from the gate’s hinges and the track or arm mechanism. Then, check for roots lifting the concrete footing or posts. If the gate still sticks or drags, the motor may be straining. Gavarrete Fencing can trim back vegetation safely, realign the gate within its frame, and adjust the limit switches and sensors to restore smooth, quiet operation without full motor replacement.

Yes, Austin’s heavy rains soften soil, and aggressive roots from nearby shrubs or trees can push against fence posts, causing them to lean or loosen over time. You might notice the gate sagging or a gap between fence sections. Gavarrete Fencing addresses this by removing the affected post, clearing any encroaching roots or overgrowth, and setting the new post in concrete with proper drainage. They also trim back vegetation that could cause future shifting. This restores the fence’s structural integrity and prevents the problem from recurring.
