How does San Marcos's climate affect this service?
San Marcos runs hot inland summers (95-105°F routine), with original fence at end-of-life and mass conversion to Class-A vinyl now dominant. Pine pickets cup and crack within a single summer here; cedar and vinyl are the durable answers. CSU San Marcos and the surrounding rental stock drive significant landlord-side work. Inland post repairs usually mean pine posts rotted at grade after year 7–8.
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.
