Fence Contractors Waxahachie TX | Call Tanner’s Handyman & Construction

Wood rot is usually caused by ground moisture and poor drainage, common in heavy rain years. Leaning often comes from damaged posts due to hail impacts or soil shifting. We cut out rotted sections, replace damaged posts, and reinforce the frame. After repair, we offer weatherproofing and staining to protect against future moisture and storm damage.

Look for splintering on wood, cracked rails, or loosened pickets. Metal fences may have dents or misalignment. After a hailstorm, even small dings can lead to bigger splits. We do a thorough inspection of post bases, rails, and gate hinges, then repair or replace damaged sections. We also reseal any exposed wood to prevent rot.

Yes, but prep work is key. Chalky or peeling surfaces need to be cleaned, sometimes power washed, and lightly sanded. We scrape loose paint and apply a quality primer before painting or restaining. For fences near Lake Waxahachie with high humidity, we recommend a weatherproof stain rather than paint to reduce peeling. Our crew handles fence and gate painting or staining along with any needed repairs first.
