Between Gulf wind, sandy soil that lets posts wander, and relentless coastal sun cooking the pickets, Corpus Christi fences earn their keep. We reset leaning posts in fresh concrete, replace broken pickets and rails to match your existing fence, and rebuild wind-damaged sections so the repair blends in instead of standing out.
Gates get extra attention because their hardware corrodes fastest: we square sagging frames, add anti-sag bracing, swap in rust-resistant hinges and latches, and make sure pool and backyard gates self-close and latch the way code and good sense both want them to.
The sun does as much damage here as the wind. Relentless Gulf UV cooks the south and west faces of a fence, drying pickets until they cup, crack and silver out years before the shaded sides. A coat of quality stain and sealer after a repair slows that UV punishment and buys the whole fence more life.
Fence-repair pricing on the coast rides on a few things. How many posts have loosened in the sandy soil is the biggest, since resetting posts in concrete is the labor-heavy part. Picket and rail count matters, and matching an older weathered profile can take sourcing. Gate work adds up when the frame has racked and hardware has rusted through. Wood choice, whether you want the new sections stained to blend right away, and the height and length of the run all factor in.
We bring fence & gate repair to homes across the Coastal Bend — Padre Island, Flour Bluff, Calallen, Southside, Bay Area, Annaville, Portland, Robstown and the neighborhoods in between. Not sure you're in range? A quick call sorts it out.
Almost always. Standard cedar and pine privacy styles used around the Coastal Bend are easy to match, and new wood weathers toward your existing gray within a season, or we can stain it to blend right away.
Usually a mix of corroded, worn hinges and a frame that's sagged, sometimes helped by a post loosening in sandy soil. We square the frame, add bracing, replace hardware and reset the post if it's moved.
Yes. Standard hinges and latches corrode quickly this close to the water, so on gates we default to coated or stainless hardware. It costs a little more up front and saves a callback in a year.
On this coast, it's worth it. Our intense Gulf sun dries and cracks untreated wood fast, especially the west-facing side, and salt air doesn't help. A quality stain and sealer slows that UV damage, evens out the look between new and weathered pickets, and adds real years. We can stain right after the repair or once new wood has dried.
It's usually the soil and the water. Our sandy coastal ground doesn't grip posts the way clay does, and posts near a downspout, sprinkler or low spot stay damp and work loose faster. We reset the movers in a proper concrete footing sized for our soil, and where drainage is the culprit we point it out.
