FAQs
Why does my wooden fence crack in the Texas heat?
In Elgin's hot climate, prolonged sun exposure dries out wood, causing it to shrink and crack. Ray's Decks & More recommends using kiln-dried, treated lumber and applying a UV-resistant sealant. We also install fences with proper spacing to allow for natural expansion and contraction, reducing stress on the wood.
What are the signs that my ornamental fence needs repair?
Look for rust spots, loose or missing sections, sagging gates, and bent pickets. Heat can also warp metal components. If you notice any of these, it's best to call a carpenter like Ray's Decks & More. We can weld, replace damaged parts, or repaint to prevent further deterioration and keep your fence looking sharp.
How can Ray's Decks & More help fix a fence damaged by heat?
We start with a thorough inspection to identify cracked, warped, or rotted boards. For wooden fences, we replace damaged sections with heat-resistant lumber and apply protective finishes. For ornamental fences, we repair or replace corroded elements and reinforce joints. Our goal is to extend your fence's life and maintain your property's value.
