Fence Repair Services Abilene TX

It comes down to age and how widespread the problem is. Damage confined to a few sections on a fence under ten years old is worth repairing. If the fence is fifteen years or older and you are seeing multiple leaning posts, gray punky wood, and loose rails, repairs are buying time rather than fixing anything. We put both numbers in front of you at the assessment so the comparison is yours to make.

Wind, hail, and vehicle impact are typically covered perils, subject to your deductible. Rot, insect damage, and general age are not, and that is where most fence claims get denied. Fences usually fall under other structures coverage with its own limit, so check that number. After a storm we document damage with photos and an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.

We aim to be out within 24 to 48 hours for anything that compromises pet containment or property security. After a widespread wind event that stretches, since half the neighborhood calls the same morning. In those cases we can secure the opening temporarily and return for the permanent repair. Most single section repairs finish in one visit because we carry common materials on the truck.

Single post replacement runs $150-350. Resetting a leaning section runs $200-500. Panel replacement is $100-250 per section for wood. Full gate rebuilds run $300-900. Storm damage across multiple sections is quoted after assessment. Damage assessments are free - call (325) 238-7905.

If posts lean less than about 15 degrees and the wood below grade is sound, they can be excavated, pulled plumb and re-concreted. Past 15 degrees, or where the post has rotted at grade, replacement is the honest answer - a straightened rotten post leans again within a season.

Yes, and it's usually the right call when damage is isolated. The one caveat is appearance: new wood beside weathered wood is obvious for a year or two until it greys in. On stained fences we can blend new boards much closer with a matched stain.

Yes. We repair wood, chain link, vinyl, wrought iron and ranch fencing regardless of the original installer. The assessment covers the whole run rather than just the visible break, so you know whether you're buying a repair or postponing a replacement.

Sagging almost always means the hinge post has shifted or the gate frame has racked out of square. An anti-sag cable kit with a turnbuckle running corner to corner pulls the frame back true and costs very little. If the hinge post itself is moving, that post needs resetting first - the cable won't help.

Most single post replacements are a same-visit job once we're on site, though the concrete needs 24-48 hours to cure before the panels take full load. If the post carries a gate, plan on the gate being out of service for a day.
