Leaning & Loose Posts
Shifting soil, weak footings, and rot at the base are the usual culprits. We reset or replace posts in concrete so the line stands straight again.

Fence Repairs We Handle
Most fence problems start in one spot and spread. We repair the section that failed and check what caused it, so the same issue doesn't come back next season.
Broken Boards & Panels
Cracked pickets, missing boards, and damaged panels replaced with material matched to your existing fence in look and durability.
Rot & Moisture Damage
Soft or crumbling wood removed and replaced before decay spreads into rails and neighboring posts.
Sagging Gates & Hardware
Gates that drag, won't latch, or have pulled away from the post: re-hung, braced, and fitted with new hinges or latches as needed.
Rails & Structure
Split or detached rails rebuilt and loose sections re-secured to restore strength across the whole run.
Storm Damage
Downed sections and uprooted posts after severe weather, with fast assessment and help coordinating with your insurance company.
Signs Your Fence Needs Repair
North Carolina humidity, heavy rain, and summer storms wear fences down faster than most homeowners expect. Call us if you notice any of these:
- Sections that wobble, lean, or sag
- Soft, rotting, or crumbling wood near the base of posts
- Loose, rusted, or exposed nails, screws, and brackets
- Missing or broken boards that cut into privacy or security
- Gaps forming along the bottom where pets can slip through
- A gate that drags, sticks, or no longer latches
Catching these early usually means a smaller repair and a longer life for the fence you already have.
Repair or Replace?
Not every damaged fence needs to come down. We'll walk the fence with you and give you a straight recommendation based on what will actually hold up.
Repair Makes Sense When
- Damage is limited to a few sections
- Most posts are still structurally sound
- Rot or wear hasn't spread through the run
Replacement Makes Sense When
- Structural damage is widespread
- The fence is near the end of its lifespan
- Repair costs approach half the cost of a new fence
If replacement is the better call, we'll tell you why, and we install new wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fences too.

Fence Repair Questions
The questions homeowners across the Triad and Triangle ask us most about fixing a damaged fence.
How much does fence repair cost?
It depends on the material, how many posts or sections are involved, and site conditions like slope and access. Replacing a few boards costs far less than resetting posts across a long run.
We give you a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins, and most estimates go out the same day you reach out.
Get a Free Repair EstimateShould I repair or replace my fence?
Repair usually makes sense when damage is limited to a few sections and most posts are still sound. Replacement is often the better value when damage is widespread, the fence is near the end of its life, or repair costs approach half the price of a new fence.
We'll walk the fence with you and give you an honest recommendation either way.
How long does a fence repair take?
Minor repairs like replacing boards or re-hanging a gate often take a few hours. Larger repairs involving multiple posts or sections usually take one to two days, depending on the scope.
Can you fix a leaning fence post?
Yes. Leaning posts are one of the most common repairs we do. We find out why the post moved, whether that's rot, shifting soil, or a shallow footing, then reset or replace it in concrete so it stays straight.
Do you work with insurance after storm damage?
Yes. We assess the damage, provide a written estimate, and work directly with homeowners and insurance companies to keep the process as simple as possible.
Do you offer financing for fence repairs?
Financing is available through Avvance, including 0% interest same-as-cash plans (OAC). Financing is offered through U.S. Bank.
