Signs to watch
Is this you?
The fence is leaning
A fence leans when the post is failing at the soil line, where wet ground rots it first. Sometimes we can reset or sister the post; sometimes it's done underground — we dig in and tell you which.
Boards are broken, cupped, or warped
Wind snaps pickets and the PNW wet-dry cycle cups and splits unsealed wood. Individual boards are a quick swap; if a whole section has gone, we match it as close as weathering allows.
A gate sags, sticks, or won't latch
Sagging gates are almost always a racked frame or a loosening hinge post — the heaviest, most-used part of the fence. Re-squaring the frame and re-hanging it beats fighting the latch every day.
A storm or wet winter did damage
Wind loads a fence like a sail and saturated soil loosens posts that held fine all summer. After a big blow, a few posts and panels often need attention before the next one finishes the job.
Your options
Fix the posts, match the boards, rehang the gate
We reset or replace leaning and rotted posts — set in concrete over a gravel base so water drains away instead of pooling at the wood — swap broken and warped boards for graded material, re-square and re-hang sagging gates, and replace rusted hardware with hot-dipped or coated fasteners that won't bleed streaks down your boards. Every repair comes with photos. And if more than a stretch or two is failing at the posts, we'll show you the honest math on repair versus a new run, because throwing good boards onto rotten posts helps no one.
The method
How we do it
- 01
Walk the line and find the real problem
We check every post at the soil line, sight the line for lean, and test the gates — the failures are usually underground, not in the part you're looking at. Photos of everything.
- 02
Fixed-price repair quote
You approve the number before we dig. On any post replacement we call in a utility locate first — what's underground is ours to sort out, not yours.
- 03
Repair, reset, and walk it together
Posts set to drain and plumbed true, boards matched and fastened, gates hung to swing clean and latch, then a walk of the finished line with you.
Straight numbers
What fence repairs actually cost
Most repairs run from a couple hundred dollars for board and picket swaps up to a few thousand for resetting a run of posts or rebuilding gates — length, post count, terrain, and how many posts have rotted move the number. Fixed prices, not hourly mysteries. When post failure runs the length of the fence, we'll price both the repair and a new run so you can compare honestly.
Where we do this work
Fence Repair: straight answers
Can a leaning fence be saved, or does it need replacing?
Often it can be saved. If the posts are sound and just heaved or loosened, we can reset them; if only a few have rotted, we replace those and keep the rest. It's when most posts have failed at the soil line that a new run usually makes more sense — and we'll show you which case you're in.
Can you match my existing fence boards?
Usually close enough that it reads as one fence. New cedar starts lighter and weathers to match within a season or two, and we source the common PNW pickets and rail profiles. A perfectly seamless match on aged wood isn't always possible, and we'll be straight with you about that up front.
Why do my posts rot but the boards look fine?
Because the post sits in wet ground and the boards don't. Water pools around a post set without drainage and rots it at the soil line while the pickets above stay dry. When we reset posts we add a gravel base so water drains away — the step cheap installs skip, and the reason their fences lean by year three.
How fast can you come out after a storm?
Storm damage that leaves a fence down — an open yard, a loose gate, pets that can get out — gets priority scheduling, often within a few days. Non-urgent board and post repairs are typically scheduled within a week or two.
