How does Campo's climate affect this service?
Campo sits at 2,600 feet on SR-94 near the Mexico border with hot summers (95-105°F routine), winter freeze nights, low rainfall (12-15 inches annually), and remote rural parcels. Fence work is large-perimeter ranch wood-and-mesh, livestock-grade no-climb, chain link, and border-zone perimeter security on some parcels. Mountain post repair has to handle deep footings (36-inch minimum) and sometimes frost heave.
How do you know if it's a post problem vs a panel problem?
Lean direction tells you. If the whole section leans together like a domino, it's the posts. If only some pickets are loose or falling, it's panel-level. Most leaning fences are 100% post-caused, the wood or concrete at grade has failed.
Steel post insert vs full replacement?
If the post above grade is still solid, a steel insert (like Simpson Strong-Tie Postmaster) sleeves into the remaining wood and bolts to a new concrete footing, cheaper, faster, and often stronger than a full replacement. If the whole post is rotted, full replacement is the right call.
