Problems we see most
Leaning posts in sandy soil. Rot at the ground line on wood. Sagging vinyl or wood gates. Loose chain-link fabric. Bent aluminum pickets from mower or vehicle hits. Storm-thrown trees that take out a section and leave the rest standing.
If more than a third of the posts are failing, we will say replacement is the cleaner job. Patching a collapsing line wastes money.
Maintenance that actually helps
Keep soil and mulch off wood bottom boards. Keep vines off vinyl and chain link. Oil gate hinges. Reset a latch before you replace a whole gate. These are small things that prevent a larger repair.
Storm damage
After a storm, photograph the damage and keep the yard safe. We can often rebuild a section to match the standing fence. Matching aged wood color exactly is not realistic. Matching height, style, and line is.
Questions we hear on this work
- Can you repair just one section?
- Yes, if the adjoining posts are sound. If the posts on both sides are moving, the repair has to include them or the new section will lean with the old one.
- Do you repair automatic gates?
- Mechanical gate and hardware issues are in scope. Motor, sensor, and access-control work is only quoted when we can support it. See the gate page for that distinction.
