Fencing Company Houston TX | Call Platas Construction

Houston's clay-rich soil expands and contracts significantly with moisture changes, which can loosen fence posts over time. Additionally, nearby vegetation like tree roots can push against posts or retain moisture, accelerating instability. At Platas Construction, we address this by setting posts in deep concrete footings and using drainage solutions to minimize soil movement, ensuring your fence stays upright for years.

Look for signs like rotting or splintering wood, loose or wobbly railings, sagging deck boards, or visible mold and mildew. In Houston’s humid climate, moisture damage is common. If the damage is localized (e.g., a few boards), repair may be enough. But if the structural frame is compromised or rot is widespread, replacement is safer. Our carpenters can inspect your deck and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Absolutely. We specialize in removing invasive roots, clearing overgrowth, and treating the soil to prevent future damage. When installing new fence posts, we add a root barrier and use corrosion-resistant materials. We also offer regular maintenance services to trim vegetation before it becomes a problem, keeping your fence strong and looking great.
