Questions and Answers

What causes fence posts to become loose in Lubbock?

Lubbock’s expansive clay soils shrink and swell with moisture changes, which can shift fence posts over time. This movement, combined with strong winds, often leads to instability. Our solution involves removing the loose post, reinforcing the hole with concrete or a metal base, and sometimes adding a steel bracket fabricated on-site to prevent future shifting.

How can I tell if my fence has wind damage?

Look for leaning sections, cracked or splintered wood, missing panels, or sagging gates after a storm. You might also notice loose nails or screws. If caught early, we can repair or replace damaged sections, reinforce the frame with metal brackets, and apply weatherproofing to protect against future gusts.

Do you offer permanent repairs for wind-damaged fence sections?

Yes. We assess the damage and either replace individual pickets or entire panels. For recurring wind issues, we can fabricate custom metal braces or use heavier-duty posts. Our team also offers full fence replacement with materials better suited for Lubbock’s climate, and we can stain or paint the repaired area to match your existing fence.
