Repair and replacement

Fence Repair

A fence down after a storm is not a project you plan for. We come out, tell you what can be saved and what cannot, and put the perimeter back.

What we repair

Most calls come in after weather. A gust takes a section down, a tree limb lands on the run, or the ground softens and posts start to lean. Others build slowly — a gate that drags, boards that worked loose, a rail that pulled away from a post.

Repair or replace

The honest answer is that it depends on the posts, and you cannot tell from a photo. Posts are what hold a fence up. Everything else attaches to them.

If the posts are sound, panels and pickets are straightforward to replace and a repair is the sensible call. If several posts have rotted below grade or their footings have failed, replacing panels around them buys a season and the fence comes down again in the next storm.

We will tell you when a repair is not worth doing. A run that needs most of its posts pulled is a replacement, and saying otherwise to book a smaller job costs you more the second time.

How the visit works

We walk the full run, not just the damaged part. Storm damage is often visible in one section while the posts that failed are two panels over. Then you get a written scope covering what is being replaced, what stays, and what it costs.

The onsite estimate is free, and the number comes from that visit rather than from a table.

If you are replacing rather than repairing

When the fence is past repair, the material decision starts over. Seevinyl,wood,aluminum,chain-link orDura Fence. Removal and disposal of the old fence is part of the quote.

Common questions

Can you repair the fence or does the whole thing have to go?
It depends on the posts. Panels, pickets and rails are replaceable on their own. Once posts have rotted at the base or shifted, the section around them comes out. We tell you which one you are looking at during the visit, before any work starts.
How fast can you get here after a storm?
Scheduling is confirmed after we see the property. We do not promise a date over the phone, because after a named storm every crew in South Florida is booked and a date we cannot keep helps nobody.
What does a repair cost?
Repairs are quoted after a visit, not from a price table. Damage that looks identical from the street can differ by several posts underneath, and pricing it sight unseen would mean revising the number later.
Do you repair a fence you did not install?
Yes. Most repair calls are on fences installed by someone else.
Will the repair match the rest of the fence?
We match material, height and style. Exact color on wood and vinyl depends on age — a new panel next to a fence that has been in the Florida sun for years will read lighter until it weathers.
