Why fences lean
A leaning or wobbly fence usually comes down to the posts. When a post breaks or rots at the ground, the sections on both sides start to move. We remove the damaged post and set a new one in concrete, so the fence stands straight again.
Signs a fence needs repair
Sections that lean or move when you push them, posts that are cracked or soft at the ground, a gate that drags, sags or will not stay latched, and gray, splitting wood are the usual signs. Fixing a loose post or gate early keeps the damage from spreading to the sections next to it.
Gates
Gates see more wear than any other part of a fence. We repair sagging or sticking gates and replace hinges, latches and hardware so they close securely and swing smoothly.
Staining, sealing and restoration
Sun and moisture gray out a wood fence over time. Cleaning, staining and sealing protect the wood and bring back its color. For older fences we combine the repairs and the refinishing into one restoration project.
Wind, water and plants
Posts are not the only weak spot. Strong wind pushes hard on a solid privacy fence, heavy rain softens the ground around the posts, and sprinklers, vines and soil piled against the boards keep the wood wet. Pointing sprinklers away, trimming plants back and keeping soil and mulch off the boards all help a repaired fence last.
After a storm
A strong storm can snap posts, push over sections or drop a tree limb on the fence. Take photos of the damage before anything is moved, since your insurance company may ask for them, and keep kids and pets away from sections that lean.
Repair or replace?
If most of the fence is sound, new posts and a gate repair can make it solid again. If the damage is widespread, we explain the options on site, including a new fence, and you decide.
What affects the cost
The number of posts to replace, the height of the fence, the gates and hardware, how easy it is to reach the fence line, and whether the fence needs refinishing.
The estimate
We look at the posts, sections and gates on site and write down what needs to be done. You get a line-item quote with clear, upfront pricing, no hidden fees and no high-pressure sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix a leaning fence?
Usually the cause is a broken or rotted post. We replace it with a new concrete-set post so the section stands straight again.
Do you repair gates?
Yes. We fix sagging or sticking gates and replace hinges, latches and other hardware.
Do you stain and seal old fences?
Yes. We clean, stain and seal wood fences to protect them from weather, moisture and sun.
Should I repair my fence or replace it?
If most of the posts and sections are sound, repairs usually make sense. If many posts are rotted or the wood is falling apart, a new fence can be the better choice. We look at it on site and explain both options.
Is fence repair covered by a warranty?
Yes. Repair work comes with a 1-year warranty.
How much does fence repair cost?
It depends on how many posts need replacing, the state of the gate and hardware, and whether the fence needs refinishing. After a free on-site look you get a written quote with no hidden fees.
