Jimmies Remodeling Resources - Oklahoma City's Top-Rated Fencing Company

High winds, hail, and heavy rain from severe storms are the most common causes. Wind can loosen posts, snap rails, or blow panels off. Hail may crack or dent wood or vinyl. Soil saturation from rain can also shift posts, causing leaning or sagging. In older fences, existing rot or rust weakens the structure, making it more vulnerable.

Look for leaning sections, loose or missing boards, cracked or splintered wood, rusted fasteners, and gaps at the bottom of gates. Staining or discoloration suggests moisture damage. If a gate sticks or won't latch, the frame may have shifted. Annual inspections after storm season help catch issues early.

We offer complete fence installation, repair, and weatherproofing tailored to Oklahoma weather. For storm damage, we replace broken panels, reset leaning posts, and reinforce gates with stronger hardware. Weatherproofing includes sealing wood, applying rust-resistant coatings to metal, and ensuring proper drainage around posts. For automatic gates, we also check electrical components for storm exposure.
