Question Answers
How do you handle fence post instability caused by Austin's soil movement?
Austin's clay-rich soil expands and contracts with moisture, which can cause fence posts to lean or heave. At Texas Gates, we set posts in concrete at least 24 inches deep, and we use post anchors that allow for slight movement without compromising stability. If your existing posts are shifting, we can brace them or replace them with our reinforced method to prevent future issues.
Do you offer emergency repairs for automatic gates?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service for automatic gates. Common issues include motor failures, sensor misalignment, or track damage from vehicle impact. Our technicians can diagnose and repair most problems on the same day to restore security and convenience to your property.
Can you paint or stain an existing fence to match my house?
Absolutely. We offer fence painting and staining for wood, metal, and composite fences. Our team preps the surface by cleaning and sanding, then applies a high-quality paint or stain that withstands Texas heat and humidity. We can match nearly any color, and we also provide weatherproofing treatments to extend the life of your fence.
