Common Fence Issues We Fix
We've seen it all when it comes to fence damage. Some problems are obvious, like a fallen section after a windstorm. Others sneak up on you, like rotting posts or loose boards that gradually get worse. Here are the most common fence problems we fix for homeowners in Gary:
- Broken or missing boards and pickets
- Leaning or sagging fence sections
- Rotted fence posts or rails
- Damaged gates that won't close properly
- Rust damage on metal fences
- Storm damage and wind-blown sections
- Fading or peeling paint and stain
- Loose or broken hardware
Repair or Replace? Here's How We Decide
The age-old question: should you fix it or replace it? We help you make that call based on a few key factors. If your fence is relatively new and only has damage in one or two spots, repair usually makes sense. But if your fence is showing its age all over, or if more than 30% of it needs fixing, replacement might be the smarter move.
We look at the condition of your fence posts first because they're the foundation of everything. If the posts are solid, we can often replace just the boards or panels. But if the posts are rotting below the ground line, you're looking at more extensive work. We also consider how long the repairs will last versus the cost of a new fence. Sometimes spending a bit more now for low-maintenance vinyl fencing saves you money in the long run compared to repeatedly fixing aging wood fences.
How Our Fence Repair Process Works
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire fence, not just the problem areas. This helps us spot potential issues before they become bigger problems. Then we give you a detailed estimate with options. Need a quick patch job to keep your dog from escaping? We can do that. Want a more permanent fix that'll last for years? We can do that too.
Most repairs are completed in a day or two, depending on the extent of the damage. We match materials as closely as possible to your existing fence, though keep in mind that new wood won't match weathered wood right away. It'll blend in as it ages. We also offer refinishing services if you want everything to look uniform right away.
