Q&A

Why does my fence look faded or gray after just one summer in Fort Worth?

Our intense Texas sun breaks down the lignin in wood, causing a weathered, gray appearance. This is a common cause of sun-faded fence staining in our area. The solution is not another quick stain; we prep the surface by cleaning and lightly sanding, then apply a UV-resistant, semi-transparent stain or solid paint. This protects the wood fibers and keeps your fence looking its original color for multiple seasons.

My gate keeps getting blown off its hinges during spring storms. What's the real fix?

Wind-damaged fence sections and gates often happen because the original posts are too shallow or the hinges are undersized. We assess the ground conditions and typically replace the damaged posts with heavier-gauge metal set in concrete at least 24 inches deep. Then we install heavy-duty hinges and a latch designed to handle gusty winds. This stops the gate from sagging or pulling free in the next storm.

Can you repair just a few wind-blown fence boards, or do I need a whole new fence?

If the damage is limited to a few broken pickets or a blown-out section, a targeted fence repair is usually sufficient. We remove the damaged boards, reuse any sound hardware, and match the new wood to your existing fence. For the remaining undamaged sections, fence weatherproofing helps prevent future splitting. We only recommend a full replacement if more than 40% of the fence is compromised or if the posts are rotted through.
