Wood and Vinyl Fencing Pflugerville TX | Call Smak Fencing & Railing

The most common signs are small dents or dings in metal railing caps and posts, splintering or cracking on wooden deck boards, and loosened screws or nails where the impact has shifted the structure. In Pflugerville, where hail can be severe, you might also notice chipped paint or surface rust spots forming on hardware. If you see any of these, it’s best to call Smak Fencing & Railing for an inspection before the damage spreads to the substructure.

For rust caused by Pflugerville’s humidity and rain, we first sand or grind away the rust to bare metal, treat the area with a rust-inhibiting primer, and then repaint or powder-coat the hardware. If the hardware is pitted beyond repair, we replace just the affected hinges, latches, or brackets with stainless steel or galvanized options that resist future corrosion. This targeted approach saves you money compared to a full fence replacement.

Absolutely. For new deck construction in areas like Pfluger Crossing, we recommend composite decking with aluminum or powder-coated steel railing systems. These materials are far more impact-resistant than wood and won’t dent or split as easily during a hailstorm. We also use hidden fasteners to reduce exposed hardware that could rust. Our team designs every deck to handle Pflugerville’s weather, so you spend less time on repairs and more time enjoying your backyard.
