Miller & Carroll Construction | Expert Fence Installation in Bastrop, TX

Bastrop’s clay-rich soil expands and contracts with moisture, which can loosen fence posts over time. Poor drainage and heavy rain accelerate erosion around the base. To prevent this, we recommend setting posts in concrete with a gravel base for drainage, using pressure-treated or cedar posts, and applying a weatherproof sealant. Miller & Carroll can inspect your existing posts and install proper footings to keep your fence stable for years.

Signs of aging include leaning sections, rotted or cracked wood, loose or rusted hardware, and gaps between pickets. If only a few posts or boards are damaged, repair is often sufficient. But if more than 30% of the fence is compromised or the posts are severely eroded, replacement may be more cost-effective. We’ll walk your property with you, assess the damage, and give honest advice—whether it’s a simple repair or a new fence that fits your budget.

Absolutely. We take careful measurements and note the exact profile, stain color, and wood type of your current structure. Since Bastrop has many older homes with custom fencing, we source matching materials whenever possible. For decks, we can blend new composite or wood sections with existing ones. Our goal is to make the repair seamless so your outdoor space looks cohesive and functions like new.
