TL,DR: Most fence companies offer a standard 1-year warranty on their installation. K2 Fence & Stain provides a comprehensive warranty. It covers materials and workmanship for 3 full years from the date it is installed. This long-term protection ensures your fence investment is protected against any defect or issue caused by our work.
The Reality of Austin Fence Warranties
Building a new fence is a major investment for any homeowner in Austin. You expect the structure and every material to stand strong in the long run. The problem is that warranties often leave you carrying the risk if something goes wrong. A typical contractor might only offer a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. This rarely covers the actual installation.
The One-Year Warranty Problem
A basic one-year warranty creates unnecessary frustration. A gate might start dragging, or a panel could lean after that first year. If that happens, you must pay to repair or replace it. You deserve a fence warranty that actually gives you peace of mind. Without proper warranty coverage, you face unexpected costs to fix a defective build.
What Our 3-Year Fence Warranty Covers
We build things differently at our company. That allows us to offer the best workmanship warranty around. Our guarantee is a commitment to quality. Our warranty covers defects in workmanship for three full years.
Gate Function and Alignment
Gates are the most common failure point on any fence. Our warranty protects against sagging and shifting. If your gate stops latching within the warranty period, we will repair it.
Structural Workmanship
We stand behind our work. We guarantee that your fence will remain structurally sound. If any installation error causes a defect, we will fix it. We take full accountability for every material we use.
What the Warranty Excludes
Transparency is a core value for our company. You need to know exactly what an exclusion looks like. While we offer great protection, warranties do not cover everything.
Natural Lumber Checking
Wood is a natural material that will expand and contract. Small splits, known as cracks, are normal. A slight warp is also expected. These cosmetic changes do not affect structural strength. Because of this, the warranty does not cover them.
Weather and Impact Damage
Our warranty covers how we build the fence. It does not cover natural disasters like a severe storm. High wind damage or lawnmower impacts will void the coverage. We also cannot cover rust or corrosion on third-party hardware. Paint that might peel over time is also excluded.
Manufacturer Limitations
Some items have a limit set by the manufacturer. We fully cover our labor. However, manufacturer warranties apply strictly to defects in materials. Be sure to read your contract for specific warranty information.
Why We Can Offer a 3 Year Fence Warranty
Most fence companies cannot afford to stand behind their builds for three years. We can because we refuse to cut corners. Our company relies on proven methods that prevent failures.
Screws Instead of Nails
Nails pull out as lumber expands in the Texas heat. We use screws for every single picket. Screws provide superior holding power and keep your fence tight.
Steel Gate Posts
A heavy cedar gate will eventually pull a wooden post out of plumb. We use heavy-duty steel posts for all our gates. This prevents sagging and ensures smooth operation.
Zero Crew Turnover
We do not use random subcontractors. Our contractor crews have been with us for years. They know our standards, and they get the job right the first time.
Protecting Your Property the Right Way
You should not have to worry about your new fence falling apart. Our thorough guarantee gives you true confidence. We pair premium materials and workmanship to deliver a fence that lasts.
Quick Answers
Does the warranty cover the lumber itself?
No. The warranty covers our installation. Lumber naturally weathers, which is normal.
What happens if my gate sags after two years?
We will come out and adjust it for free. Gate alignment is fully covered under our warranty period.
Do I need to register my warranty?
No registration is required. Your warranty begins the date it is installed. It is directly tied to your invoice.
How do I request a warranty repair?
Simply call our company or send us an email. We will schedule a time to inspect the issue and make it right.
