Most wind damage in Lubbock is a post problem, and panels on a reset post go back up without a rebuild. - [Cedar vs pine fence pickets in West Texas](https://aplusfencerepair.com/learn/cedar-vs-pine-fence-west-texas): Cedar. Treated pine goes on the fence wet and dries out fast in Lubbock's low humidity, so it twists, cups and checks. Cedar is more stable, resists rot and insects on its own, and takes an oil-based stain well. We use cedar pickets, never pine pickets; the rails are pine 2x4s. - [When should a new cedar fence be stained in Lubbock?](https://aplusfencerepair.com/learn/when-to-stain-new-cedar-fence): Not the day it is built. Fresh cedar carries moisture, and stain will not soak into wet wood. In Lubbock's dry air a new fence is usually ready in a few weeks. Sprinkle water on a board: if it soaks in within a minute, the wood is ready. - [Repair or replace a leaning wood fence?](https://aplusfencerepair.com/learn/repair-or-replace-leaning-fence): Push on the posts. If most of them are solid and the damage sits in a few sections, repair wins. If posts are failing along the whole line and the pickets are grey and splitting everywhere, a repair only buys a season and replacement is the honest answer. - [Board on board vs dog ear vs gothic point: which privacy fence style?](https://aplusfencerepair.com/learn/privacy-fence-styles-explained): Board on board for the most privacy and wind block and the same look from both sides. Dog ear for a clean, even back-yard fence that uses the least material. Gothic point when the top line is on show from the street. All three are cedar on steel posts, 6 ft or 7 ft. ## Frequently asked questions Q: How long has A+ Fence Repair and Installation been in business? A: We have been repairing and building fences in Lubbock, Texas since 1997. The company started after a storm damaged three fences in our founder's neighborhood. Q: What area do you serve? A: We serve Lubbock, TX. Our estimates are free inside town. If you are not sure whether your property is in our area, call and ask. Q: What are your hours? A: We are open 7 days a week, 7:30 AM to 8 PM, weekends included. Call any day and we will get a storm-damaged fence secured first, then fix it to hold. Q: Is any fence job too small? A: No. No fencing job is too small. A few pickets, one post or a sticking gate is worth a call. Q: Do you offer any discounts? A: Yes, get 5% off (up to $200) your next fence repair service. Be sure to mention the website when you call. Q: Is my fence worth repairing, or should I replace it? A: If most of the posts are solid and the damage is limited to a few sections, some pickets or a gate, repair is usually the better value. If posts are failing all along the line, or the wood is rotted and splitting everywhere, replacement often makes more sense. We look at the fence in person and tell you which way we would go. Q: Do you take small fence repair jobs? A: Yes. No fencing job is too small. Replacing a few pickets, resetting one post or fixing a sagging gate is exactly the kind of work we do in Lubbock every week. Q: Do you charge for a repair estimate? A: No. Estimates inside Lubbock are free. Call us or send the request form and we will set up a time to look at the fence. Q: What kinds of fences do you install? A: We install wood fences and chain link fences, including gates. If you are not sure which suits your yard, we will talk through both during the free in-town estimate. Q: Do you build fences from scratch or use prefabricated panels? A: We build them on site. Building from scratch lets us follow the grade and corners of the lot and set the posts where they need to be, instead of forcing standard panels to fit. Q: Should a new wood fence be stained? A: We recommend it. We use an oil-based stain after a fence is installed so the wood is sealed against water. It keeps the fence looking better and helps the boards last longer in the sun. Q: What kind of stain do you use? A: We use an oil-based stain. It penetrates the wood and seals it so the fence is impervious to water, rather than sitting on the surface like paint. Q: How soon should a new fence be stained? A: We apply stain after the fence is installed, so the wood is protected from the start. Ask about staining when you get an estimate for a new fence. Q: Do you stain pergolas too? A: Yes. We stain and treat pergolas as well as fences, and it often makes sense to do both at the same visit so they match.
