Fence Repair Services
for Burlington, Elon, Graham, Mebane, NC & Beyond

You need a strong, sturdy, and visually appealing fence to add value to your property and make sure your fence functions the way you need. The early signs of a deteriorating fence can be subtle, so it's important to keep a watchful eye on things before they spiral out of control and require you to make big repairs or even replacements. Here are some common early signs that you might need fence repair:

• Bending and Heaving: If water has seeped into your fence's cement casing, the posts will begin to heave and bend, causing the posts to sway or fall. You also might notice warping wood. Excessive moisture is a big issue in North Carolina, due to high humidity and occasional stormy weather - it's important to stay vigilant.
• Pests: You're especially likely to notice this issue with wood fences. Signs that your fence might have a termite (or other pest) infestation include wood swelling, mildew, unexplained fence buckling, and visible "mazes" on the wood posts.
• Cracking: If your fence is cracking near the ground, it means that it has been installed too low to the ground and is absorbing too much moisture from the soil.

If you notice these early signs of fence problems, contact an experienced contractor for prompt repairs!

The decision between fence repair and replacement can be challenging; you’ll need to consider several factors before you make your final choice. Remember that our team is always here to help you decide. Here are some key considerations you’ll need to take into account: 

• The Level of Damage: Begin by closely inspecting your fence. Look for signs of rot, warping, loose or missing boards, rust, or leaning posts. Smaller sections of damage or occasional loose boards are minor issues that can usually be repaired, while more extensive damage might require a full replacement. 
• Your Fence’s Age: How old is your fence? If it is relatively new and the damage is limited to a small area, fence repair is likely the most cost-effective solution. However, if your fence is older and beginning to show signs of wear and tear, a replacement might be a more sensible long-term investment.
• The Overall Condition: Look beyond the visible damage and assess your fence’s overall condition. Test the stability of the posts, check the fence’s overall strength, and consider whether the gate is functional. If your fence has significant structural problems or poses safety concerns, it might be necessary to replace it. 
• Cost Considerations: If you’re deciding whether to repair or replace your fence, you’ll want to keep your budget in mind. In general, minor repairs tend to be more affordable than complete replacements. However, in some cases, replacing the fence outright can provide better long-term savings. Consider the condition of your fence as you weigh your options.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Consider the visual impact of your fence. Is it worn or outdated? Does it no longer match your property’s overall look? In some cases, a full replacement might be the better option for your home’s overall curb appeal. 
• Future Plans: Consider your future plans for the property. If you're planning to sell in the near future, an attractive and well-maintained fence can be a selling point. On the other hand, if you're planning to make significant changes to your property, such as adding an extension or altering the landscaping, it may be more practical to delay fence replacement until after those changes are made. You’ll also want to consider your practical needs. Do you plan on adopting a pet or expanding your family to include children? Replacing an ornamental fence with a more private option might be in your best interests.
