WHY DO FENCES FAIL?

Picture

Board-On-Board Western Red Cedar Privacy Fence - Leonard, TX

Most fences fail early due to improper installation, weak materials, or lack of protection from North Texas weather.  Here are a few common problems that Mike sees:
  • Shallow Post Holes – Can lead to leaning and instability.
  • Wood Posts – Eventually rot below ground warp and crack.
  • Inferior lumber – Doesn't last like genuine Western Red Cedar.
  • Revolving Crews – Often leads to inconsistent quality.
  • Installation Shortcuts – Reduce the life of your fence.
  • Weak Gate Construction – Causes gates to sag over time.
  • No Fence Stain – Leaves wood exposed to the elements.

​HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN INSTALLING FENCES?   
  •  I've been installing fences for more than 25 years. During that time, I've built hundreds of fences across North Texas, giving me the experience to     build every project with quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and methods that are proven to last.
WHAT SETS MIKE DOWNS FENCING APART FROM OTHER FENCE COMPANIES?
  • What sets me apart is simple—I personally build every fence myself, so you'll never have to wonder who's showing up at your home. I've been building fences for more than 25 years, and I use quality materials and proven installation methods to build every fence the right way.  
WHY DON'T I SUBCONTRACT LABOR?
  • Subcontracted labor is often used as a cost-saving measure by companies that don't want to hire full-time employees. In some cases, subcontractors may be uninsured or not properly vetted, which can create unnecessary risks for both the contractor and the homeowner. Because subcontractors are typically paid by the job, they may have less incentive to focus on quality, attention to detail, or customer satisfaction if they aren't closely supervised. The result can be rushed work, cut corners, unfinished cleanup, and a lack of the personal care that comes from someone who takes pride in every project.​​
​WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A FENCE COMPANY?
  • Choosing the right fence company is one of the most important decisions you'll make when investing in a new fence. Look for a contractor with a proven track record, verified customer reviews, quality materials, proper installation methods, clear communication, and a strong workmanship warranty—because the quality of the installation has just as much impact on the life of your fence as the materials themselves.​
HOW LONG SHOULD MY NEW  CEDAR FENCE LAST?
  • A properly built Western Red Cedar fence can last 20 to 30 years or more when it's installed correctly and maintained over time. The biggest factors are quality materials, proper post installation, drainage, and regular staining or sealing. When I build a fence, I use proven installation methods designed to help it last as long as possible in North Texas conditions.​
WHY DO SOME FENCES FAIL OVER TIME?
  • Most fence problems don't start with the wood—they start with poor installation. Shallow posts, weak concrete, and contractors cutting corners often lead to leaning fences, loose posts, and sagging gates long before they should. That's why I build every fence using proven installation methods designed to stand up to North Texas weather and soil conditions.​
