Fence Builders Houston TX | Call Mola's Services

After a heavy windstorm in Houston, you may notice leaning or shifted fence sections, loose or missing pickets, and gates that sag or won’t latch properly. These issues often arise because our sandy soil and high gusts can loosen posts or snap hardware. If you see gaps between fence boards or hear rattling during breezes, it’s a good time to have a professional check the structural integrity.

Yes, in most cases we can repair or replace just the latch hardware, saving you the cost of a new gate. Broken latches are a frequent problem after Houston storms, often caused by metal fatigue or misalignment due to wind stress. We’ll inspect the gate frame first to ensure it’s still square; if it is, a new latch and adjust the hinges usually restores smooth operation. If the gate itself is damaged, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Regular gardening and lawn care reduce moisture and debris buildup along fence lines, which can cause wood rot and attract pests like termites. Overgrown vines or shrubs can push against panels, making them more vulnerable to wind damage. By keeping the area around your fence clear and the grass trimmed, you improve airflow and visibility, helping your fence stay dry and sturdy. Our routine care includes trimming back growth and removing soil that may have washed against fence bases.
