Fence Installation
Q: Why do you recommend galvanized steel posts over wood posts?
A: Galvanized steel posts are significantly stronger and more durable than wood. Unlike wood, they resist moisture, rot, and insect damage, preventing ground-level failure. They also keep fences straighter and more stable, especially in windy conditions.
Q: What is included in your fence installation service?
A: Our process includes consultation, material retrieval, site preparation, professional installation, and final inspection to ensure a quality build.
Q: Can I customize my fence design?
A: Absolutely! We offer a range of styles, colors, and materials to create a fence that matches your vision and property needs.
​​
Fence Staining
Q: Why should I stain my fence?
A: Staining protects against UV rays, moisture, and insect damage while enhancing the natural beauty of wood fences.
Q: How often should I stain my fence?
A: We recommend staining every 2-3 years to maintain protection and aesthetics, especially in Austin’s climate.
Q: Can you stain an old fence?
A: Many times we can, but it does depend on the condition of the fence. We clean and prep older fences before applying stain to refresh their appearance and extend their lifespan.
​
Maintenance & Warranty
Q: How do I maintain my fence?
A: Regular cleaning, sealing or staining (for wood fences), and periodic inspections for damage will help prolong your fence’s lifespan.
Q: Do you offer warranties on your fences?
A: Yes, we stand behind our work with warranties on materials and craftsmanship. Specific details depend on the type of fence installed.
Q: What should I do if I have an issue after installation?
