Personal Touch | Expert Privacy Fence Installation in Amarillo, TX

Company Overview
Personal Touch in Amarillo, TX, specializes in installing and repairing fences and gates that can handle the Panhandle's intense sun and wind. A common local issue we see is sun-faded fence staining, where UV rays bleach wooden or vinyl fences, making them look aged. We restore color and protect against further fading with high-quality stains and sealants. Another frequent problem is gate alignment problems caused by Amarillo's heavy winds and shifting soil. Our team realigns gates to ensure they swing freely and latch securely. Located near the Amarillo Zoo and Medical Center, we serve neighborhoods from Wolflin to the River Road area. We provide practical, long-lasting solutions that keep your property looking sharp while standing up to the local climate.
Questions and Answers
What causes the brownish or grayish tinge on my wood fence in Amarillo, and is that the same as sun fading?
Yes, that bleached or discolored look is exactly sun fading. The intense UV rays in Amarillo break down the wood's natural lignin and stain over time, turning it a tired gray or dull brown. It's not a dirt or mold issue – it's the sun oxidizing the surface. We can restore the original color with a fresh power wash and a UV-resistant stain that protects your fence for years.
My gate keeps dragging on the ground or won't latch after a windy day – what's the fix?
That's a classic gate alignment problem, very common here in Amarillo due to shifting soil from dry and wet cycles or strong wind gusts. The hinge hardware can loosen or the gate post can shift. We'll check the hinge screws, adjust the post bracket, or replace a sagging hinge. For large gates, we may install a wheel or stabilize the post with concrete. The solution is straightforward: get the frame back to square so the gate swings and latches correctly.
Can you re-stain a fence that's already sun faded, or do I need to replace the whole fence?
In most cases, we can absolutely re-stain a sun-faded fence without replacing it. We clean the surface with a mild wood cleaner and a soft power wash to remove any dirt and loose fibers. After it dries, we apply a stain with UV blockers that restore color and slow future fading. This works on wood fences that are still structurally sound. If the wood is cracked or rotten, we can replace individual pickets rather than the whole fence.
