Fencing Company San Antonio TX | Call Kaitlyn

The intense San Antonio sun and high temperatures cause wood to dry out and lose moisture unevenly. This leads to warping, cupping, and splitting, especially if the fence wasn't properly sealed or treated. Pressure-treated wood can still warp if not maintained.

Look for visible warping, cracks, or boards that are pulling away from the frame. Discoloration like fading or graying also indicates sun damage. If your fence feels brittle or splinters easily, it's likely heat-stressed and may need repair or replacement.

Pressure washing removes built-up dirt, mold, mildew, and oxidized wood fibers that cause a faded, gray appearance. After cleaning, we recommend applying a UV-resistant stain or sealant to restore color and protect against future heat damage.
