Fence Repair & Replacement

When to Repair vs Replace Your Fence

Not every damaged fence needs complete replacement. Sometimes a targeted repair saves you money and extends the life of your fence by years. The key is knowing when to repair and when to replace.

If your fence has isolated damage like a few broken boards, a leaning post, or a gate that no longer closes properly, repair makes sense. These issues are fixable without replacing the entire fence. We replace damaged sections, reset posts, and get your fence working right again. This approach costs less and can be completed faster than full replacement.

Replacement becomes the better option when damage is widespread or structural. If more than 30 percent of your fence shows significant wear, replacing everything at once is usually more cost-effective. You also avoid the patchwork look of mixing old and new materials. A fence nearing the end of its lifespan is another candidate for replacement rather than ongoing repairs.

We provide honest assessments during your free evaluation. If repair is the smart choice, we tell you. If replacement makes more financial sense, we explain why. Our goal is helping you make the best decision for your situation and budget, not selling you more than you need.

Common Fence Problems We Fix

Issues We See Every Day

St. George weather takes a toll on fences over time. Sun, wind, and occasional storms create various problems. Here are the most common issues we repair.

• Leaning or Loose Posts: This is one of the most frequent problems. Posts shift when soil settles or concrete deteriorates. We dig out the old concrete, reset the post properly, and use fresh concrete. The post is then stable and secure again.
• Broken or Rotted Boards: Wood fence boards can crack, warp, or rot, especially near the ground where moisture collects. We replace damaged boards with matching materials so repairs blend seamlessly with existing sections.
• Sagging Gates: Gates see heavy use and their weight creates stress on hinges and posts. We fix sagging gates by adjusting or replacing hinges, reinforcing gate posts, and ensuring proper clearance. Your gate should swing smoothly and latch securely.
• Storm Damage: High winds can knock down sections of fence or damage panels. We repair storm damage quickly to restore your property security and privacy. Insurance often covers storm damage, and we can work with your adjuster.
• Rust and Corrosion: Metal fences develop rust over time. We assess whether rust is surface-level or structural. Surface rust can be treated and painted. Deep corrosion usually requires replacing affected sections.

Whatever issue your fence faces, we have seen it before and know how to fix it properly. We use quality replacement materials that match your existing fence and stand up to local conditions.

Our Repair and Replacement Process

We start every job with a thorough inspection. We do not just look at the obvious damage. We check the entire fence for hidden problems that could cause issues later. This comprehensive approach prevents surprise repairs down the road.

During the inspection, we document all damage with photos and notes. We then provide you with a detailed estimate that explains exactly what needs fixing and why. For repairs, we break down costs by section so you can prioritize if needed. For replacements, we discuss material options and help you choose the best fence type for your needs.

Once you approve the work, we schedule your repair or replacement at a time that works for you. Most repairs can be completed in a day or less. Full replacements follow the same professional installation process we use for new fences, typically taking 2 to 4 days depending on size.

We bring all necessary tools and materials to your property. For repairs, we carefully remove damaged components and install replacements. We match materials as closely as possible to your existing fence. For replacements, we remove the old fence completely and haul it away before installing your new one.

After completing the work, we clean up thoroughly and walk you through what we did. We want you to understand the repairs and feel confident your fence is solid again. All our work comes with a warranty on workmanship, giving you peace of mind.
