T an N Service - Kempner's Local Fence Builders

Wood fence warping is primarily caused by the intense Texas sun and humidity. The heat dries out the wood, while moisture from rain or dew causes it to expand and contract, leading to warping. To prevent this, we recommend using treated or cedar wood, applying a high-quality sealant, and ensuring proper installation with adequate spacing for expansion. We also install gates with reinforced hardware to avoid stress. T an N Service uses local weather-resistant materials and techniques to extend fence life.

Absolutely. Most broken gate latches are repairable. Common issues include bent latches, worn-out catches, or misalignment due to sagging gates. We can replace the latch hardware, adjust the gate hinges, or re-align the post. In many cases, we just need to tighten screws or install a stronger latch. We'll inspect the gate and recommend the most cost-effective solution. No need for a full replacement unless the damage is severe.

Given the hot and humid climate in Kempner, we recommend sealing a new wood fence every 1-2 years. Existing fences may need sealing every 2-3 years depending on exposure and previous maintenance. Yes, T an N Service provides fence sealing as part of our general contracting services. We use high-quality stains and sealants designed to protect against UV rays and moisture. Proper sealing helps prevent warping, rot, and extends the life of your fence.
