Goodwood Workings: Experienced Commercial Fencing Serving San Antonio, TX 78253

Fence cracking in San Antonio is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to intense heat and UV radiation, which dries out the wood and leads to splits. Goodwood Workings addresses this by applying high-quality exterior stains and paints that include UV protectants. We first prepare the surface by cleaning and sanding, then apply a flexible coating that moves with the wood, preventing future cracks. For severely cracked boards, we can replace individual sections before refinishing the entire fence.

Key signs include a chalky or dusty feel on the wood surface, uneven color patches, and the wood grain becoming more pronounced. In San Antonio, this usually happens after 2-3 years due to our strong sun. Goodwood Workings recommends a simple water test: if water soaks into the wood rather than beading up, it’s time for a new stain or paint. We use fade-resistant, UV-blocking products to extend the life of your fence’s finish.

Yes, we can match most existing colors using color-matching technology and by taking a sample from your fence. However, because sun exposure can change the original color over time, we recommend refinishing the entire fence for a uniform look. If you prefer a spot repair, we’ll blend the new coating into the surrounding area as seamlessly as possible, using a gradual fading technique. For best results, we suggest a full restain or repaint every 3-5 years in San Antonio.
