Fence Repair & Replacement
Expert fence repair and replacement services that restore your property's security, privacy, and appearance.
When Your Fence Needs Attention
Every fence eventually shows signs of wear. Weather, time, and normal use take their toll even on the best-built fences. Maybe you've noticed leaning posts, rotting boards, or broken sections. Perhaps storm damage left your fence looking worse for wear. These problems won't fix themselves, and they tend to get worse over time. The good news is that many fence issues can be repaired effectively, saving you the cost of complete replacement.
We provide honest assessments of your fence condition. Sometimes a simple repair extends your fence's life by years. Other times, replacement makes more sense financially and delivers better long-term value. We'll explain your options clearly and help you make the right decision for your situation and budget. Our team has the skills to handle both minor repairs and full fence replacements across Elizabethton and surrounding areas.

- •Rust or corrosion on metal fences affecting appearance and strength
Making the Repair vs. Replacement Decision
Deciding whether to repair or replace your fence depends on several factors. Age is one consideration. A fence that's only a few years old and experiencing isolated damage is usually worth repairing. A fence nearing the end of its expected lifespan might be better replaced, especially if multiple sections need work. The extent of damage matters too. Replacing a few damaged boards is straightforward and cost-effective. But when half your fence needs attention, replacement often provides better value.
When Repair Makes Sense
Repairs work well for isolated problems on otherwise sound fences. If storm damage affected only one section, we can replace those panels and posts to match your existing fence. Gate repairs often solve functional issues without requiring fence replacement. Reinforcing leaning posts, replacing rotted boards, or fixing broken hardware can add years to your fence's life. We match materials as closely as possible so repairs blend seamlessly with your existing fence. For wood fences, we can replace individual boards. For vinyl, we source matching panels from manufacturers. The goal is making your repaired fence look and function like new.
When Replacement Is the Better Choice
Sometimes replacement makes more financial sense than extensive repairs. If your fence is showing widespread deterioration, patching individual problems becomes a temporary fix. Multiple leaning posts, extensive rot, or structural issues across long sections indicate it's time for replacement. Consider too that modern fence materials offer advantages over older options. Upgrading to low-maintenance vinyl or durable aluminum eliminates ongoing repair costs. A new fence also gives you the opportunity to change styles, adjust the fence line, or improve functionality with better gates and hardware.
Our Repair and Replacement Process
We start with a thorough inspection of your fence. This hands-on evaluation identifies all issues, not just the obvious ones. We check post stability, examine boards and panels for damage, test gate operation, and assess the overall structure. You'll receive a detailed explanation of what we found and what needs attention. We provide separate quotes for repair and replacement options when both are viable, so you can make an informed choice.
Quality Workmanship You Can Count On
Whether we're repairing damaged sections or replacing your entire fence, we use the same careful approach. For repairs, we remove damaged components and install new materials that match your existing fence. Posts are reset properly with fresh concrete. Boards are secured with quality fasteners. Gates are adjusted and aligned for smooth operation. For replacements, we follow the same professional installation process used for new fences, ensuring your replaced fence will last for years.
We protect undamaged sections of your fence during repair work and clean up thoroughly when we're done. Your property should look better than when we arrived, not worse. We stand behind all repair and replacement work with our quality guarantee. If something isn't right, we make it right. That's the level of service you can expect from Elizabethton Fencing Expert.
