Designing with Pets in Mind
Pet safety involves more than just height. It’s about ensuring there are no sharp edges, ensuring picket gaps are too small for a head to get stuck, and choosing materials that won't splinter. Whether you have a tiny terrier or a massive Mastiff, we customize the gate latches and bottom clearances to provide total peace of mind.
In Texas, our weather is extreme. To get 20+ years out of your fence, you need to perform a quick 15-minute inspection every season to catch small problems before they become major expenses. Keep Your Fence in Top Shape — Book a Professional Tune-Up Spring and Fall Tasks Spring: Check for winter storm damage and ensure your gate hinges are lubricated. Fall: Clear away dead leaves and debris from the bottom of wood fences to prevent moisture trapping. Check your stain for "fading" and plan for re-coating if the wood is no longer repelling water.
Should you fix that leaning section or tear the whole thing down? For many homeowners, the "fix-it" approach seems cheaper, but it may actually be a waste of money if the structural integrity of the entire line is compromised. Get a Professional Assessment — Schedule Your Inspection The 20% Rule As a general rule of thumb, if more than 20% of your fence requires repair, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. Patchwork repairs often lead to a "Frankenstein" look and don't address the underlying issues like rotted posts or failing footings.
