Common Fence Problems We Fix
Fences take a beating from North Carolina weather, and small issues tend to grow if left alone. Fortunately, most problems are very fixable when you catch them early.
- Leaning or Fallen Posts: Often caused by rot, soil shifting, or storm damage, and usually the root of a sagging fence line.
- Storm and Wind Damage: After a big Triangle storm, we handle everything from a few downed panels to major structural repairs.
- Broken or Sagging Gates: A gate that won’t latch or drags on the ground is one of our most common repair calls.
- Rot, Rust, and Wear: Age catches up with every fence, and targeted repairs can add years of life before a full replacement is needed.
If your gate is the issue, we also service and repair gates and openers, including automatic systems.
Should I Repair or Replace My Fence?
This is one of the most common questions we hear, and we’ll always give you an honest answer. Generally, if the damage is limited to a section or two and the rest of your fence is sound, repair is the smart, cost-effective choice. However, if your fence is aging across the board and needs frequent fixes, a new fence installation may serve you better in the long run.
Our team will assess the condition honestly and never push a replacement when a repair will do. When you need dependable fence repair Durham homeowners trust, we help you make the decision that’s right for your property and budget.
