Fence Contractors San Antonio TX | Call Zabel Custom Builds

After a hailstorm in San Antonio, look for small dents or divots in the wood surface, splintered or cracked boards, and chipped paint or stain. On fences, you may notice that pickets are loose or have impact marks near the top edges. For decks, check railings and stair treads for sharp splinters. If the damage is extensive, the wood can lose its weather resistance. Our team can inspect your deck or fence and recommend either targeted repairs or a full replacement to restore safety and appearance.

Yes, we often repair only the damaged sections. In the Alamo Heights and Stone Oak areas, many homeowners have spot damage from hail. We'll evaluate the affected boards and posts. If the structure is sound and the damage is isolated, we can replace just those pickets or rails. We match the wood type and finish so the repair blends in. However, if the fence is older and multiple sections are compromised, full replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. We'll give you a straightforward recommendation.

It depends on the extent of the rot and structural integrity. If rot is confined to a few floorboards or a single support post, we can repair those areas. But if the ledger board (where the deck attaches to your house) is rotting, or if multiple joists are weakened, replacement is the safer option. In San Antonio’s humidity, untreated wood decays faster near the foundation. We'll inspect the deck thoroughly, check for soft spots, and give you an honest assessment. Our goal is to keep your family safe and your outdoor space usable for years.
