How much does fence repair cost?

Fence repair costs vary based on the extent of the damage and the type of fence. Minor repairs like fixing a few broken pickets or tightening loose hardware typically cost less than major repairs like replacing entire sections or fixing multiple leaning posts. We provide free estimates after inspecting your fence, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Can you match my existing fence for repairs?

Yes, we make every effort to match your existing fence materials, colors, and styles. We work with a wide range of suppliers and can source materials that closely match what you have. For wood fences, we can stain or paint new sections to blend seamlessly. For vinyl and other materials, we find the closest match available.

When should I repair vs replace my fence?

If damage is limited to a few sections or posts, repair is usually the most cost-effective option. However, if your fence has widespread damage, multiple leaning posts, extensive rot, or is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement may be the better choice. We will assess your fence honestly and recommend the option that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.

Common Fence Problems We Fix

Fences face constant exposure to weather, ground movement, and everyday wear and tear. Over time, even the best-built fences develop problems that need attention. Recognizing these issues early and getting them fixed quickly can save you money by preventing more extensive damage. We handle all types of fence repairs in Calera, Alabama for residential and commercial properties.

Leaning or loose posts are one of the most common issues we see. This usually happens when the concrete foundation breaks down, the ground shifts, or the post itself rots below ground level. Left unfixed, leaning posts can cause entire fence sections to fail. We excavate the damaged post, install a new one with fresh concrete, and make sure it is perfectly plumb and stable.

Broken or rotted boards and panels are another frequent problem, especially with wood fences. Alabama weather can be harsh on fencing materials. Sun exposure, rain, and humidity cause wood to crack, warp, or rot over time. We replace damaged sections with matching materials so your fence looks uniform and functions properly. For vinyl or chain-link fences, we fix cracked panels, torn mesh, or damaged rails.

Gate issues are particularly frustrating because you use your gate multiple times every day. Sagging gates, broken hinges, faulty latches, and gates that drag on the ground make access difficult and look unprofessional. We repair or replace gate hardware, adjust hinges, install new support bracing, and ensure your gate swings smoothly and latches securely.

Repair vs Replacement: Making the Right Choice

Not every damaged fence needs complete replacement. Sometimes a targeted repair is all you need to extend your fence life for several more years. Other times, replacement makes more financial sense than continuing to patch up an aging fence. We help you make the right decision based on the actual condition of your fence and your budget.

When we evaluate your fence, we look at the overall structural integrity, the extent of damage, and the age of the materials. If the damage is localized to just a few posts or sections and the rest of the fence is in good shape, repair is usually the smart choice. You get your fence back in working order quickly and affordably without the disruption of a full replacement.

Signs You Might Need Replacement Instead of Repair

More than 30 percent of your fence sections are damaged or deteriorated
Posts are rotting at ground level throughout the fence line
The fence is over 20 years old and showing multiple failure points
Repair costs are approaching or exceeding the cost of new installation
You want to upgrade to a different material or style
The fence no longer meets your needs for privacy, security, or appearance

We provide honest recommendations based on what makes sense for your situation. If repair is the better option, we will tell you. If replacement is more practical in the long run, we explain why and provide options that fit your budget. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your property, not to upsell you on services you do not need.

Our Repair and Replacement Process

We start every repair job with a thorough inspection of your fence. This is not just a quick look at the obvious damage. We check the condition of posts, examine connections and fasteners, look for signs of rot or rust, and assess the overall stability of the structure. This comprehensive evaluation helps us identify all issues, not just the ones you can see from a distance.

After the inspection, we provide a detailed written estimate that explains exactly what needs to be fixed and why. We break down the costs so you know what you are paying for. If we discover additional problems during the repair work, we discuss them with you before proceeding so there are no surprise charges.

For repairs, we use quality materials that match your existing fence as closely as possible. We know you want the repaired sections to blend in, not stand out. When matching is not possible due to age or discontinued products, we discuss alternatives and help you decide on the best approach. Our repairs are built to last, using the same professional techniques we use for new fence installations.

If replacement is the better option, we can replace just the damaged sections or the entire fence depending on your needs. Partial replacement can give you several more years of service at a fraction of the cost of complete replacement. Full replacement gives you a brand new fence with updated materials like low-maintenance vinyl that will serve you better in the long term.

Most fence repairs are completed in a single day. Larger repair jobs or section replacements may take two to three days depending on the scope of work. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring every repair meets our quality standards. When we finish, your fence will be structurally sound, look great, and function the way it should.
