Questions and Answers
What causes fence post instability in Dallas, and how does Santillano Construction fix it?
The main cause is the region's clay-heavy soil, which expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells. This constant movement loosens fence posts over time. Santillano Construction solves this by excavating the post base and using a concrete collar with proper drainage or by setting posts with expanded-base anchors that resist shifting. We also check for rot or termites on wooden posts, replacing them with pressure-treated lumber to ensure long-term stability.
What are the signs of heat-related fence cracking, and what remodeling or repair services do you offer?
Look for vertical splits in wood panels, peeling paint, or warping along the top rails—common signs after several Dallas summers. Our team can replace damaged sections with heat-resistant wood or composite materials. We also offer painting with UV-blocking stains as part of our painting services, which helps prevent future cracking. For more extensive damage, we include fence repair during our garage or common area remodeling projects.
Can you combine fence repair with a bathroom or kitchen remodeling project?
Absolutely. Santillano Construction handles multiple scopes in one visit. For example, we can repair your fence posts while remodeling your kitchen or bathroom. This saves time and coordinates labor. Our crew manages everything from demo and plumbing updates in a bathroom to setting new fence posts, ensuring your home improves inside and out without scheduling separate contractors.
