Lalo knows Outdoors - Austin's Local Privacy Fence Installation

Gate alignment issues in Austin are often due to the expansive clay soil common in the area. This soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, causing fence posts to shift and gates to sag or stick. Heavy use and improper installation can also contribute. Lalo Knows Outdoors addresses this by adjusting hinges, re-setting posts with concrete, or using adjustable hinges to accommodate future movement.

Signs of sun damage include fading of wood or vinyl colors, cracking, splintering, and a dry, brittle texture. For wood fences, the grain may become raised, and stains or paints may peel. Vinyl can become chalky or brittle over time. Lalo recommends inspecting your fence annually and looking for uneven coloration or surface deterioration.

For gate alignment, Lalo Knows Outdoors typically tightens or replaces hardware, re-levels posts, or installs anti-sag kits. For sun-faded fences, they power wash the surface, apply a UV-resistant stain or paint, and seal it to protect against further damage. They offer a range of stain colors that complement Austin's outdoor aesthetics and provide long-lasting results.
