What fence problems do you fix?
- Leaning or wobbly posts, including posts rotted at the ground.
- Broken, warped or missing boards and pickets.
- Gates that sag, drag or won't latch.
- Panels blown out by wind or hit by a car or a falling branch.
- Rusted chain link ties, rails and gate hinges.
- Cracked or loose vinyl panels and caps.
Should I repair my fence or replace it?
It depends on the posts. If most posts are solid and the damage is in one stretch, repair usually makes sense. If posts are rotting along the whole line, or the fence leans from end to end, new boards won't hold for long and replacement is often the better spend. We'll show you what we see and price both when it's close.
Can you match my existing fence?
Usually close. New wood is lighter than weathered wood until it ages or gets stained. Some vinyl and metal styles are no longer made, so we'll tell you up front if a perfect match isn't possible.
My neighbor shares the fence. Who pays for the repair?
In California, neighbors are presumed to share the reasonable cost of a shared boundary fence equally, and the owner who wants the work done must give written notice 30 days before spending the money. Read who pays for a fence between neighbors for the details.
How much does fence repair cost?
Repairs vary too much for a fair number online. One post is a very different job from a 40-foot run. Describe the damage in the quote form and we'll price it in writing after a look. If a full new fence ends up making more sense, see what a new fence costs.
Is it storm or salt damage?
Near the beach, rusted hardware is often the real problem: hinges and screws give out before the fence does. Swapping to coastal-grade hardware fixes the cause, not just the symptom. See the salt air guide, or upgrade the whole gate.
