About Our Fence Repair in South Austin: From Storm Damage to a Full Fence Replacement
South Austin's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts through wet winters and dry summers, and that movement knocks fence posts out of plumb faster than almost anywhere else in Central Texas. A post leaning two inches this spring is often flat on the ground by August. We start every job with an on-site estimate, walking the fence line to check post depth, footing condition, and whether erosion or storm damage caused the problem. Material selection comes next, and it depends on your property style as much as your budget.
Western Red Cedar remains the top pick for privacy fencing in South Austin because it resists rot and handles humidity better than pine. We build vertical and horizontal cedar designs alike, and horizontal fence styles have become a popular upgrade for homeowners chasing a cleaner, more modern look. For properties that need a security solution with less upkeep, aluminum fences and ornamental iron fencing hold their shape without warping, and vinyl-coated chain link fencing gives you a budget-friendly option that still looks tidy along a property line. Vinyl privacy fences and composite materials round out the lineup for homeowners who want to skip staining altogether.
A fence does more than mark a boundary line. A well-built perimeter adds curb appeal, keeps pets contained, and gives driveway gates and custom gates real access control instead of a decorative afterthought. We install automatic driveway gates with automatic openers, steel framing for wider spans, and pet safety features like tight-fitting gaps and secure latches for yards with dogs. Rural and acreage properties around South Austin sometimes call for bull panel fences, hog fences, or horse fences instead of a standard residential picket fence. We build those too.
Storm season brings the bulk of our fence repair calls. Wind shear snaps pickets, saturated ground pulls posts loose, and fallen branches take out whole sections in one pass. We also handle the slower kind of damage: rotting rails, rusted chain link, and gates sagged on their hinges for years. If your yard backs up to heritage trees or falls inside a protected tree zone near parks like Zilker Park, we follow tree protection protocols so root systems stay intact while we dig new post holes. Once repairs wrap up, our fence staining services protect Western Red Cedar and other wood fencing from Austin's hot, humid weather going forward.
Choose Mr. Handyman: What 15 Years of Trade Experience Gets You!
Mr. Handyman of South Austin/Lakeway has served this part of the Austin metro since 2009, and our crew averages fifteen years of trade experience apiece. That tenure matters on fence work, where knowing how South Austin's soil moves and how fast cedar dries out in August both change the outcome. In older neighborhoods near Bouldin Creek and Barton Springs, mature heritage trees and narrow side yards change how a fence gets built, and our crew adjusts post spacing and gate swing instead of forcing a standard layout.
We cover Tarrytown, Travis Heights, and Lakeway close to the urban core. Our territory also reaches The Hills, Bee Cave, and Kyle to the west and south.
Five field professionals cover this whole territory, so you get a familiar face and consistent workmanship instead of a rotating crew. Every job, fence or otherwise, is backed by the Neighborly Done Right Promise®, and we carry the material knowledge to match new sections to your existing fence instead of leaving a patchwork repair behind. Ready for a fence that holds up to what Austin throws at it? Schedule an appointment, and we'll get an on-site estimate on the calendar.
