General Specialties | Expert Commercial Fencing in Houston, TX

Gate alignment issues in Houston often stem from soil shifting due to our clay-heavy ground, which can cause posts to lean over time. You might notice your gate dragging on the ground, sticking when you try to open or close it, or leaving a visible gap between the gate and the latch. If you see these signs, it's best to address them quickly to avoid further damage to the hinges or frame.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For an aging fence system, we first inspect for widespread rot, especially at the posts and baseboards. If less than 30% of the fence is affected, we can often replace only the damaged sections and reinforce the structure. However, if the wood is brittle or the rot has compromised most posts, a full replacement is more cost-effective and ensures your property stays secure. We'll give you an honest assessment during a free on-site visit.

For a leaning or sagging fence, the most effective solution is to reset the posts and reinforce the framework. We dig new holes, set the posts in concrete, and attach new rails to stabilize the entire section. In many cases, we can also add metal brackets or tension cables to prevent future sagging. This approach is more durable than simply patching the sagging area and can give your fence several more years of reliable service.
