Gehrig's Fencing: Top-Rated Fence Contractors Serving Houston, TX 77065

That's a classic sign of a gate alignment problem, very common in Houston due to our expansive clay soils shifting under the posts. The hinge side often sinks or the gate frame warps from moisture. Gehrig's Fencing can solve this by re-setting the post in concrete, adjusting the hinges, or replacing the gate if the frame is beyond repair. We'll get it swinging freely again.

Yes, those telltale dents and splintered cracks are classic hail damage. After a severe Houston hailstorm, we often see this on cedar and pine fences. The solution depends on severity: we can replace individual damaged pickets or, if the structural rails are compromised, replace entire sections. For metal fences, we can often straighten panels or replace dented ones.

Great question. For gates, the best prevention is deep-set, concrete-encased posts on a compacted gravel base to resist soil shift. We recommend heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant hinges. For storm resilience, we suggest using steel or aluminum fence panels, or installing wind-rated wood fence systems with proper gap spacing. We can assess your current setup and recommend the most durable materials for Houston's climate.
