Fence Installation San Antonio TX | Call R & V CONSTRUCTION

Strong thunderstorm winds and the expansive clay soil in neighborhoods like Stone Oak and the Dominion often cause fence posts to loosen or break. When a gust hits a solid-panel privacy fence, the whole section can lean or blow over. R & V Construction repairs this by digging out the old post, pouring a concrete footing below the frost line, and securing the new post with brackets. We also check adjacent panels for stress cracks and reinforce them so the next windstorm doesn't cause the same problem.

In most San Antonio homes, gate sag starts with a rotting or shifting post—especially in older areas like Monte Vista or Terrell Hills. The weight of the gate pulls the post out of plumb, misaligning the latch. R & V Construction inspects the post first: if it's rotten at the base, we replace it with a pressure-treated post set in concrete. If the post is sound, we adjust the hinges and install a heavy-duty latch with a anti-sag kit. Either way, you'll get a gate that closes smoothly without dragging the ground.

Yes. In San Antonio's humid climate, fences can develop mold, mildew, and dirt buildup that trap moisture against the wood. A gentle pressure wash—using proper techniques and a low-pressure tip—removes that grime without damaging the wood fibers. After cleaning, we recommend a sealant or stain to protect against UV rays and rain. R & V Construction includes pressure washing as a prep step before staining, but we also do standalone fence cleaning to extend the life of your existing finish. Just avoid high-pressure wands that can shred soft wood like cedar.
