Fence repair in Beaumont
Most fence problems start at a few posts. Catching a lean early usually means replacing a post or two, not the whole fence.
Common fence repairs
- Leaning or rotted posts. Wood posts rot at the ground line, where the soil stays wet. Clay soil that swells and shrinks also pushes posts out of line.
- Storm and wind damage. Tropical storms and summer thunderstorms knock sections flat, and falling pine limbs crush panels.
- Broken or loose pickets and rails. Often a quick fix if the posts are sound.
- Sagging or dragging gates. Usually a hinge post that's moved, worn hinges or a gate that needs a brace or a wheel.
- Termite damage. Termites are common in Southeast Texas and go after wood in contact with the soil.
Repair or replace?
If most posts are solid and the damage is limited to a few sections, repair is usually the better deal. If posts are failing all along the line, the pickets are gray and brittle, or the fence is past about 15 years old, replacing it often costs less over time than patching it again after every storm. A good company will show you what they found.
After a storm
Take photos of the damage before anything is moved, and check your homeowners policy, since fences are often covered as an other structure. After a big storm, fence companies get busy fast, so it helps to get on a list early. If a downed fence means a pool or pets aren't contained, say so on the request.
See typical prices in the fence cost guide.
Common questions
Can a leaning fence be straightened?
Sometimes. If the post itself is sound and only the footing has shifted, it can be reset. If the post is rotted at the ground, it needs to be replaced.
Is storm damage to my fence covered by insurance?
Many homeowners policies cover fences for wind and falling trees under other structures, minus the deductible. Take photos before cleanup and check your policy.
How fast can I get a fence repaired?
It depends on how busy companies are. After a big storm, wait times grow, so it helps to send a request early and say if pets or a pool need to be secured.
