Porkys welding | Top-Rated Fence Builders in San Antonio, TX

Rust and bent pickets on ornamental fencing here in San Antonio are often caused by our humid summers, occasional storms, and sun exposure that breaks down protective coatings. The good news is that we can usually repair it. We'll cut out and replace the damaged sections of metal, weld the new pieces in place, and then sand, prime, and repaint the entire affected area. This is much less costly than a full fence replacement and restores both strength and appearance.

That's a common problem in San Antonio's climate. The intense sun and heat cause the wood to dry out, shrink, and warp. A simple board replacement won't fix the underlying issue. The best long-term solution is to install proper weatherproofing. We can treat your existing fence with a high-quality stain and sealant specifically designed for our UV conditions. For severe cases, we recommend replacing the warped sections with treated or cedar wood, applying a moisture barrier on the ends, and then sealing everything. This dramatically reduces future warping.

You've come to the right place. While an automatic gate issue can be electrical or mechanical, a grinding noise usually points to a misalignment or problem with the gate's hinges, tracks, or the bracket connecting it to the motor. As a welder and fabricator, Porkys Welding is perfectly suited to diagnose and fix the metal structure. We can realign the gate, reinforce sagging welds, or repair bent tracks. If it turns out to be a purely electrical motor issue, we'll refer you to a specialist, but we handle the heavy metal work first to ensure the gate moves smoothly.
