Residential Fencing Lewisville TX | Call Tex Fence

The primary cause is the extreme heat and humidity swings we experience in North Texas. Constant exposure to direct sunlight dries out the wood unevenly, while moisture from summer storms causes rapid expansion and contraction. This cycle leads to warping, splitting, and cupping. Tex Fence can assess your deck’s exposure and recommend replacement with more stable materials or proper sealing to mitigate future damage.

Look for loose or bouncy boards, visible rot near the ground-level posts, and pulling away of the railing from the house. If you see rusting nails or screws popping up on older decks, it’s a sign the hardware is failing. Another common sign is the ledger board pulling from the house, which is a safety hazard. Our team will inspect these areas and let you know if a targeted repair or a full deck replacement near Lewisville is the best solution.

We start with proper site preparation and choose lumber rated for ground contact in our hot climate. Using hidden fasteners and stainless steel screws helps prevent rust and wood splitting. We also ensure adequate ventilation and recommend a high-quality sealant or stain that blocks UV rays. For decks in shady spots near Lewisville’s greenbelts, we factor in adequate airflow to minimize moisture retention and rot.
