Fence Repair
A useful repair restores the fence’s job instead of covering the visible symptom. We inspect the failed area, explain the practical options and quote the work that makes sense.
Repair the failure, not just the visible damage
A leaning section may point to failed posts. A dragging gate may need better support instead of another hinge adjustment. Diagnosis comes before the material list.
Broken boards or panels
Replace isolated damage when the surrounding rails, posts and finish still support a clean repair.
Gate problems
Correct sag, dragging, latch alignment or damaged frames based on the support and opening—not repeated adjustment alone.

Know when a sectional repair is worth doing
Repair is often the right call, but not every old fence benefits from new parts. We separate local damage from system-wide deterioration.
Post replacement
A failed post can sometimes be replaced while preserving serviceable panels and rails on either side.
Rail and picket repair
Localized wood damage is repairable when the structure around it remains stable and compatible material is available.
Panel or mesh repair
Iron panels and chain link mesh may be repaired or replaced by section after checking posts and connections.
Gate rebuild or replacement
A supported frame, proper posts and suitable hardware usually matter more than installing a heavier latch.
On-site estimate
What we inspect before recommending a repair
The condition on both sides of the damaged area affects whether the repair will hold and whether it will look consistent.
- 01 Post movement, rot, rust and concrete condition
- 02 Rail, panel, mesh and picket damage beyond the visible spot
- 03 Gate frame, hinge support, latch and opening clearance
- 04 Matching material, finish and dimensions
- 05 Access, landscaping and adjacent property conditions
- 06 Whether repair changes height, location or material
Repair when the surrounding fence still has useful life
A repair makes sense when the damage is contained and the connected structure can support the new work. It can extend useful service without replacing a full run.
Replacement is usually the cleaner decision when posts and rails are failing across multiple sections, matching material is unavailable or repeated repairs are approaching the cost of a coherent new fence.
Before you decide
Fence Repair FAQs.
01 Can you repair only the leaning part of my fence?
Possibly. We inspect the posts and connected sections to see whether the movement is localized. The quote identifies exactly which posts, rails or panels are included.
02 Do minor fence repairs require a McKinney permit?
The City of McKinney says work is considered a repair without a fence permit when height, location and material do not change. Confirm current requirements for the exact scope before work begins.
03 Can you fix a sagging or dragging gate?
Yes, when the frame and supports are repairable. We check the gate frame, posts, hinges, latch and ground clearance before recommending adjustment, reinforcement or replacement.
04 Will repaired wood match the existing fence?
New wood often looks different from weathered boards at first. We match dimensions and profile where possible and explain any likely color or finish variation before the repair.
