Martinez Company | Reliable Fence Contractors in Houston, TX

In Houston's high heat, wood fences often develop vertical cracks or splits along the grain, especially on south-facing sections. You might also see the paint or stain blistering, peeling, or fading faster than expected. Gates may become harder to latch as the wood dries, warps, and shifts. If you notice these issues, Martinez Company can assess the damage and recommend repair or protective coating solutions.

Gate misalignment in Houston is usually caused by the combination of heat, humidity, and soil shifting. The wood expands and contracts, causing hinges to loosen or the gate frame to warp. We first check the hinge screws and post for movement. Often, simply readjusting the hinges and tightening hardware solves the issue. For more severe sagging, we may need to replace a section or reinforce the gate with a metal brace. Our repair service brings your gate back to proper function.

Yes, absolutely. Weatherproofing is the most effective way to extend your fence's life here. A quality sealant or stain locks out moisture during humid spells and reflects UV rays during our long, hot summers. This reduces the expansion and contraction cycles that cause cracking. Martinez Company can apply a durable, weather-resistant coating that suits Houston's climate. It's a simple service that saves you money on major repairs down the road.
