Fence Repair & Replacement

When to Repair Your Fence and When to Replace It

Not every damaged fence needs a complete replacement. Sometimes a few professional repairs in Kingsport, TN can add years of life to your fence and save you thousands of dollars. The key is knowing when repair makes sense and when replacement is the smarter long-term investment.

If your fence has isolated damage like a few broken boards, a leaning post, or a gate that will not latch properly, repair is usually your best option. These issues are straightforward to fix and will not cost much compared to installing a whole new fence. We can replace damaged sections, reset posts that have shifted, fix sagging gates, and reinforce weak spots.

However, when more than 30 percent of your fence is damaged, when posts are rotting at the base, or when the entire structure is leaning or unstable, replacement makes more financial sense. We give you an honest assessment during our inspection. If repair will work, we tell you that. If replacement will save you money in the long run, we explain why. You always get our honest recommendation, not a sales pitch.

Common Fence Problems We Fix

Fences face constant exposure to weather, soil movement, and daily wear. Over time, even the best-built fences develop issues. Here are the most common problems we see and how we fix them.

Typical Fence Repairs We Handle
