Fence Builders Katy TX | Call Southern Roots Fencing

Katy's expansive clay soil shifts with wet and dry seasons, causing fence posts to move. Over time, this can throw your gate out of alignment. Heavy use, loose hinges, or warped wood are also common culprits. Southern Roots Fencing can assess the root cause—whether it's a post issue or hardware—and adjust or replace parts to get your gate swinging smoothly again.

Sun damage usually shows as even fading or grayish wood, while mold or mildew appears as irregular black or green spots, often in shaded areas. You can test by scrubbing a small area with soapy water: if the stain lightens, it's likely mold. Southern Roots Fencing offers professional cleaning and sealing to restore color and protect against future damage, no matter the cause.

First, check alignment: if the gate is dragging or the latch doesn't meet, it's likely a sagging issue. Tightening hinges and adjusting the latch plate can help temporarily, but long-term fixes may involve resetting the gate post or adding anti-sag hardware. Southern Roots Fencing will diagnose the problem and provide a durable repair that lasts through Katy's seasons.
