Leaning // Broken // Sagging

Fence Repair around Cottondale.

A fence does not have to come out because one part of it failed.

Leaning sections, broken or rotten boards and sagging gates can often be fixed one section at a time.

Wood posts tend to fail at the ground, where moisture sits, and the section leans with them.

Strong winds and hurricanes hit the Panhandle, and they leave fences leaning, missing boards or down.

Chain link with a bent top rail or loose fabric, and vinyl panels popped out of the rail, get fixed too.

Many repairs come down to new boards, a reset post or a re-hung gate, not a full rebuild.

What the job includes

From the first stake to the last latch.

  1. Photos and a look

    Text photos of the damage first. We look at the fence line to see what is sound and what is not.

  2. A clear quote

    You get a quote for the repair before any work starts, so you know what is being fixed.

  3. Boards and rails

    Broken or rotten boards and rails are cut out and replaced one at a time.

  4. Posts reset or replaced

    A post that failed at the ground is reset or replaced so the section stands true again.

  5. Gates re-hung

    A sagging gate is checked at the frame, the hinges and the post, then fixed or re-hung to latch.

  6. Chain link and vinyl

    Bent top rails, loose fabric and popped vinyl panels are fixed or put back where they belong.

Know the options

Repair or replace it?

Most fence problems fall into three groups, and the group decides the fix.

A few bad boards are a quick fix, but a whole row of rotten posts usually means a new fence.

Repair makes sense when most of the fence is still sound.

Send photos and we will tell you straight which one your fence needs.

A few boards
Broken or rotten boards are swapped out. The rest of the fence stays as it is.
A leaning section
Often a failed post. The post is reset or replaced and the section is brought back plumb.
A worn-out fence
Posts rotted all along the line? Replacement may make more sense, and we will tell you straight.

Worth knowingFix a leaning post or a loose board early. A small repair now can keep the section from going down in the next wind.

Four steps, one straight line.

  1. Text photos

    Call or text (352) 299-2686 with photos of the damage. Include a wide shot of the fence line.

Questions

About fence repair.

Can you fix just one section of my fence?

Often, yes.

Leaning sections, broken boards and sagging gates can often be fixed without a full rebuild.

Text photos to (352) 299-2686 and we will tell you straight what is needed.

My fence leans after a storm. What now?

Leaning is usually a post that failed at the ground or a section the wind pushed over.

Text photos to (352) 299-2686.

Some sections can be set back up, and we will tell you straight when they cannot.

Do you fix chain link and vinyl too?

Yes.

Chain link with a bent top rail or loose fabric, and vinyl panels that popped out of the rail, are common repairs.

Send a photo and we will take a look.

When does replacing the fence make more sense?

When most of the posts are rotted, or the damage runs the full length of the fence, a new fence can make more sense than a string of repairs.

We will tell you straight.
