Oleson Rose Contracting: Local Privacy Fence Installation Serving Lubbock, TX 79424

The main cause is Lubbock's sandy, loose soil combined with seasonal rain, which can wash away soil around wooden posts, making them lean or rot. A sign is a post that feels loose or moves when pushed. Oleson Rose Contracting solves this by resetting posts with concrete footings and using pressure-treated lumber or steel posts that resist moisture and shifting. For existing fences, we can reinforce or replace the affected sections to restore stability.

Not always. Cracking often starts on the surface due to Lubbock's intense sun drying out the wood. A sign is small, hairline cracks that don't go all the way through. If the wood is still structurally sound, we can sand and reseal it. However, if cracks are deep, wide, or the board splits, that part may need replacement. For severely damaged decks, a full replacement with heat-resistant composite or treated wood is the best long-term solution.

Weatherproofing starts with choosing the right materials. We recommend using cedar or treated pine, which naturally resist cracking. We apply a high-quality, UV-resistant stain or sealant that penetrates the wood. The sign your fence needs weatherproofing is faded color, small cracks, or water not beading on the surface. We also ensure proper post drainage and use galvanized hardware to prevent rust from our occasional storms.
