Do I Need a Repair?

Not sure if it’s time for fence repair? Walk your Seattle yard and look for these signs: leaning fence posts, rotted wood at the ground line, broken or missing boards, rust on metal, sagging or hard-to-latch gates, loose hinges, and panels that no longer sit square along your property lines. Dirt, mildew, and weather wear can hide bigger issues.  

Our team will inspect the entire fence, assess the damage, and explain simple repair vs. replacement options. We reset posts in concrete, straighten rails, fix gates, and match materials and stain so the repair blends in. You’ll get a clear price, timeline, and maintenance tips to protect your investment.

Fence Repair vs. Replacement: What’s Best for Your Seattle Home?

Feature / Benefit Fence Repair Full Replacement (New Fence)
Safety & Security Fix leaning posts, broken boards, and sagging gates to secure kids, pets, and property. New structure meets current standards; strongest option for long-term security.
Cost Most budget-friendly. Great for simple repair needs and localized damage. Higher upfront price; may save money over time if 30%+ of the fence is failing.
Time to Complete Usually 1 day or less; minimal disruption to your yard. Several days depending on length, material, and site conditions.
Lifespan & ROI Extends life of a sound fence; ideal when posts and rails are mostly solid. Longest life; new posts set in concrete and premium hardware for durability.
Scope of Work Targeted fixes: posts, rails, boards, hinges, latches, chain link fabric/top rail. Entire fence; redesign, layout changes, gate upgrades, and material switch.
Maintenance Quick cleanup; regular maintenance keeps results strong. New start; add stain/seal for wood or low-maintenance materials (vinyl/metal).
Environmental Impact Lower material use—keep what still works. More materials, but chance to recycle and upgrade to longer-lasting options.
Permits & HOA Usually simpler; we help with any needed approvals. More likely to require HOA/permit review; we handle documentation.

Rule of thumb: If under ~30% of the structure is damaged and posts are sound, repair is usually the smart move. If damage is widespread, or you want a new look—replacement may be better value.

What We Repair (by issue)

✔ Posts & Footings

Leaning or rotted fence posts are the most common cause of sagging panels and gates. We inspect each post, replace what’s failed, and reset in concrete at the correct depth and alignment. Result: a straight, durable fence that stays put in Seattle weather.

✔ Panels, Rails & Boards

Broken boards, loose rails, or sections that aren’t square make the whole fence look tired. We match wood and profiles, re-attach rails, replace damaged boards, and blend stain/painting so the repair disappears into the entire fence.

✔ Gates & Hardware

A gate that won’t latch is a daily pain. We straighten frames, add post bases where needed, upgrade hinges and latches, and fine-tune alignment for a smooth, secure close. It’s a simple repair that adds real security.

✔ Chain Link Issues

Bent top rail, torn fabric, missing ties, or a loose tension wire? We fix sections fast so property lines stay clear and pets stay safe—an affordable way to extend the life of your fence.

✔ Metal, Iron & Aluminum

Rust spots, loose pickets, or cracked welds on metal and iron fences don’t always mean replacement. We remove rust, perform rewelds, swap panels, and touch up coatings to protect the structure from future damage.

✔ Vinyl Repairs

Cracked panels or leaning posts? We set posts correctly, replace broken pieces with color-matched parts, and restore clean lines for a like-new look with low maintenance.

✔ Storm Damage & Ground Shift

Wind, saturated ground, and settling can knock a fence out of alignment. Our Seattle team offers quick safe-ups, targeted fixes, and honest guidance on repair versus replacement, so you spend money where it matters.

Preventative Maintenance That Actually Extends Fence Life

A little regular maintenance goes a long way. With the right methods, your fence can stay straight, secure, and good-looking for years, often avoiding a costly replacement.  

Here’s how we help Seattle homeowners protect their investment and stretch the life of the entire fence.

Keep Posts Solid & Straight

Moisture at the ground line is what makes fence posts lean or turn rotted. We inspect posts, check alignment is square, and tighten or replace hardware.  

Where needed, we install a post base or reset a post in concrete to add durable support, a simple step that can save a major repair later.

Stop Small Issues Before They Spread

Tiny cracks, loose boards, or a sticky fence gate may seem minor, but they stress nearby parts. Our techs assess, straighten, and fix: re-attach rails, adjust hinges, and tune latches so gates close smoothly. This simple repair keeps the rest of the structure from working too hard.

Mind the Yard & Property Lines

Overgrown landscaping and sprinkler splash shorten fence life. We trim clearance, redirect water, and confirm your layout still meets property lines. Good airflow dries panels; proper spacing keeps the frame covered yet protected.

Hardware Upgrades That Matter

Fasteners and fittings take the brunt of weather and daily use. We upgrade to corrosion-resistant screws, stronger brackets, and heavy-duty hinges for wood fence, vinyl, and metal sections. These small improvements add strength, improve security, and extend life without the cost of a full installation.

Soil, Drainage & Site Checks

Shifting ground, soft spots, and poor drainage push posts out of line. We look at slopes, downspouts, and sprinkler spray, then recommend small grading tweaks or gravel collars around posts. Paired with proper footing depth, these methods keep your fence stable and reduce future cost.

Section Swaps & Material Matching

When a panel is too far gone, we replace just that section with closely matched material so your fence looks consistent and stays covered where it counts. It’s a targeted job that avoids tearing out what still works and keeps property lines neat.

When to Call Us

  • Leaning posts or a broken section after a storm
  • A gate that drags, loose hinges, or latch won’t catch
  • Peeling finish, spreading mildew, or early rust on metal
  • You’re planning a home improvement project or garden refresh and want the fence ready

Why It’s Worth It

  • Lower cost than emergency fixes; clear, written estimate and fair price
  • Extends time before you need a new fence or big fence installation
  • Keeps kids, pets, and property secure and looking sharp
  • Backed by local expertise and a team that truly works hard for our customers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a fence?
Plus Icon

In most cases, fence repair is more affordable than replacement—especially when damage is localized to fence posts, a few boards, or a fence gate. If more than ~30% of the structure is failing or rotted, a new fence installation may deliver better long-term value. Book a quick inspection for a clear, written estimate.

How much does fence repair cost in Seattle?
Plus Icon

Costs vary by material (wood fence, vinyl, metal, chain link) and scope (posts, rails, panels, gate hardware). You’ll get a transparent price after we inspect the issue, explain simple repair vs. replacement, and outline parts and labor. Ask for a free estimate with photos to speed things up.

How fast can you repair a fence?
Plus Icon

Most repairs finish in one day or less, depending on access, material availability, and weather. Our local team schedules quickly and arrives with the right material and hardware to fix the job on the first visit whenever possible.

Can you match my existing fence style and color?
Plus Icon

Yes. We source compatible boards, profiles, and hardware, then blend stain or painting so the repair looks seamless with the entire fence. For discontinued items, we’ll recommend close matches that keep curb appeal and property lines consistent.

What fence issues can be repaired vs. replaced?
Plus Icon

Typical repairs: leaning or loose posts (reset in concrete), cracked rails, missing boards, torn chain link fabric/top rail, and gate alignment or hinges. Consider replacement when rot or rust is widespread, posts have failed across long runs, or you want a new layout or height.

Do I need a permit for fence repair in Seattle?
Plus Icon

Most like-for-like repairs don’t need permits; full replacement or height changes may trigger HOA or city review. We’ll advise on local requirements and provide any documentation your association requests.

How do I know my fence posts are failing?
Plus Icon

Signs include leaning, wobble at the ground line, soft/rotted wood, heaved footings, or panels that won’t sit square. Early repair—like resetting a post in concrete or adding a post base—can save you from larger structural work.

Do you repair sagging or broken fence gates?
Plus Icon

Absolutely. We straighten frames, upgrade hinges and latches, install post bases where needed, and realign the gate so it closes smoothly and stays secure. It’s a high-impact repair that improves daily use and security.
