Fence Repair
Leaning sections, broken pickets and loose rails repaired at the cause, with materials matched to what you already have.
Overview
Fence repairs usually come down to three things: boards that have split or been knocked out, rails that have pulled away from posts, and posts that have rotted or heaved. The first two are quick fixes. The third is what makes a fence lean, and nailing it straight again doesn't last.
We replace damaged pickets and rails with matching material, re-fasten with galvanized or stainless fasteners, and fix leaning sections at the post, usually by replacing failed wood posts with galvanized steel set in concrete.

Common questions
Is a small repair worth calling about?
Yes. We take small repairs, and catching a failing post early stops it pulling the next section down.
Why does my fence lean after heavy rain?
Wet clay loses its grip on shallow footings and posts tip. Resetting them deeper, ideally in steel, fixes it.
Will repaired boards match?
New wood starts lighter; staining the fence afterward blends the repair in.
Can you repair just my side of a shared fence?
We can, but repairs to a shared fence go better when both neighbors agree on the scope.
