The Crew Construction: Trusted Residential Fencing Serving Burleson, TX 76028

Burleson's soil has a high clay content that holds moisture against wooden posts. This constant dampness, combined with our hot summers and freeze-thaw cycles in winter, accelerates rot in untreated wood. Over time, the base of the post deteriorates, causing the entire fence to lean or become unstable. The Crew Construction addresses this by using pressure-treated lumber set in concrete footings, which helps protect the post from direct ground contact and moisture.

Common signs include panels that wobble when you push against them, visible gaps between the fence and the post, or boards that have pulled away from the rails. You might also notice the top of the fence is no longer level. In Burleson, this often happens after strong spring storms or periods of heavy wind. If left unaddressed, loose panels can fall over completely. The Crew Construction recommends checking your fence after major weather events to catch these issues early.

For fences with multiple loose panels, we typically start by inspecting the entire fence line to identify the root cause—usually a combination of rotted posts and pulled fasteners. We replace any deteriorated posts with new, pressure-treated lumber set in concrete. Then, we re-secure the existing panels to the new posts using galvanized screws or nails. In cases where the panels themselves are warped or damaged, we'll recommend replacing those sections. The goal is to restore structural integrity so the fence functions properly for years to come.
