The Fence Deck & Dock Company | Experienced Fence Installation in Montgomery, TX

The primary cause is the region's clay-rich soil, which expands when wet and contracts during dry spells. This constant movement loosens the ground around fence posts, leading to leaning or wobbling. Additionally, inadequate post-hole depth or improper concrete setting can worsen the issue. Our solution involves digging below the frost line and using a gravel base with concrete to allow for drainage and reduce soil pressure.

Look for signs like rotting wood, loose railings, squeaky boards, or visible cracks. If the deck has significant water damage or structural shifting from soil movement, replacement may be safer. For minor issues like a few damaged boards or loose fasteners, repairs can extend its life. We offer free inspections to assess the condition and provide an honest recommendation.

Using hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel screws, hinges, and latches is key, especially in Montgomery's humid climate. Regular maintenance like cleaning off debris and applying a rust inhibitor can help. For existing rust, we can replace affected hardware and treat the area with a rust converter before painting. Our installations always prioritize corrosion-resistant materials.
