What do homeowners ask about Fence Repair?
How much does fence repair cost?
In the San Diego market: picket replacement runs $8–$18 per board including labor and material. Rail replacement: $120–$240 per rail. Post-base repair or replacement: $275–$450 per post. Full section rebuild: $350–$900 depending on length and material. Ask the pro for a written quote before work starts.
Can you match my existing fence?
Yes in most cases. The crews we work with carry common cedar and redwood profiles (1x6 dog-ear, 1x6 flat top, board-on-board) and standard vinyl colors (white, tan, khaki). Weathered wood can be matched with colored stain so the repair blends within 60 days of install.
My fence is leaning, does the whole thing need replaced?
Almost never. A leaning fence is almost always a post problem, not a panel problem. The pro straightens, resets or sleeves the post, and the existing pickets and rails go back up. Full replacement is rarely needed if the wood above the posts is still solid.
My gate drags and won't latch, can you fix that?
Yes. Sagging gates almost always mean the hinge-side post has shifted or the gate frame has racked. The pro resets the post if needed, installs an anti-sag cable kit to pull the gate back square, and adjusts or replaces the hinges. Most gate repairs take under 90 minutes.
A storm took down a section, how fast can you come out?
Storm damage calls are prioritized, tarping or temporary bracing first, then the full rebuild once materials are confirmed. Pool-barrier sections and street-facing sections get priority.
