By appointment

Spring storms in North Texas knock down fence sections every year, and wood posts eventually rot at the ground line. A leaning section or a gate that drags does not usually mean the whole fence needs to go.

We replace rotted or broken posts, swap pickets and rails, rebuild damaged sections, and rehang gates so they swing and latch. If you want the repair to blend in, we can stain or seal the fence after the new wood has dried.

What affects the cost

Number of posts. Post replacement is the largest cost per spot because of digging and concrete.
Pickets and sections. A few pickets are quick; whole sections take more materials and time.
Gate condition. A gate that only needs an anti-sag kit costs less than a rebuild.
Access. Tight side yards, landscaping, and slopes add time.
Matching. Older fences may not match new wood exactly until stained.

How to prepare

Photograph each damaged post, section, or gate.
Count the posts and pickets that need replacing.
Unlock gates and secure dogs.
Point out sprinkler heads and lines near the fence if you know where they are (Texas811 does not mark private sprinkler lines).
Nothing to do for utility lines: we call Texas811 before we dig any post holes.
Let us know if the fence is shared with a neighbor.

What is not included

Full new fence installations over long runs
Iron, chain link, and vinyl fence fabrication
Retaining walls
Surveying property lines

Texas and DFW notes

811 and permits

Texas law requires a call to Texas811 before digging, and setting fence posts counts. We make that call before any post work, so utility lines are marked before we dig. If your city requires a permit for the work, we handle that too.

Post rot in clay soil

Clay soil holds water against wood posts, and rot at the ground line is the most common reason fences lean. Concrete set properly helps new posts last.

Wind and storms

North Texas spring storms bring high winds. Long runs of solid privacy fence catch wind like a sail, so a weak post often shows up after a storm.

Common questions

Can you fix just a few boards?

Yes. Small repairs are common and much cheaper than replacing the fence.

Will new boards match?

New wood looks lighter at first. Staining after it dries helps it blend.

Do you build new fences?

We focus on repairs and small sections. Long new fence runs are better handled by a fence company.

Can you fix storm damage?

Yes. Send photos of the damaged sections and we reply with a quote and the next open times.

Do you replace gates?

We can rehang, repair, or rebuild wood gates.

Can you stain the fence after repair?

Yes. See deck and fence clean and seal.
