A leaning fence or a section blown down in a storm leaves your backyard open. Florida's Contracting and Land Services handles privacy fence repair for homes in Katy and across the west side of Houston. We replace damaged sections of wood privacy fence, and we build new fence when the old line is past saving.
We work on the wood fences between neighborhood backyards, and many of those fences are shared. We look at the fence and put the quote in writing before any work starts. On acreage, we also handle land clearing in Katy and build ranch fencing for pastures.
Tell us about the land, the fence or the drainage problem and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
When the damage sits in one or two sections and the posts nearby are sound, a repair makes sense. We take out the damaged section and replace it, and the rest of the fence stays up.
A fence that leans along its whole length is a different job. When most posts are soft at the ground, a patch only moves the problem down the line. At that point, a new privacy fence is usually the better fix.
For privacy fence installation, we build new wood fence with a rot board along the bottom. That board sits at ground level, so the pickets above it stay off the wet dirt. With the quote in writing, you can weigh a repair against a new fence.
Wood rots where it stays wet. Heavy clay is common on the coastal prairie around Katy. Once that clay is wet, water moves through it very slowly. A yard that holds water along the fence keeps the posts and the bottom boards damp.
That clay also moves. It cracks open in dry spells, and the cracks close again when the rain comes back. Over time, that movement can work a fence post loose until the line starts to lean.
Storms finish the job. Hurricane season runs June through November, and strong wind pushes hard on a solid wood fence. A loose or rotten post is usually the first to give. If water stands along your fence, a French drain can carry it away before new posts go in.
In many Katy neighborhoods, houses sit close together and one fence divides two backyards. A shared fence repair goes smoother when both owners agree on the plan first. The written quote gives you both the same picture of the work.
Before a new privacy fence goes up, read your HOA's rules on height and style. Some neighborhoods ask for approval before work starts, so it pays to ask early. Inside city limits, the city's permit office decides whether a fence needs a permit; outside them, the county does.
A Katy mailing address does not settle which office covers your lot, so we point you to the right one. Rules differ from town to town. In Fulshear, a fence over six feet tall needs a fence permit from the city. Inside the City of Katy, the zoning code keeps fences out of the visibility triangle at street corners.
