Fence Repair

Home / Fence Repair

Fences can be damaged by severe weather, old age, or a vehicle crash or construction incident. Our fence repair services are thorough and aim to resolve the fence to its original strength and appearance. We will help you evaluate the damage and determine if a full replacement is needed or which area needs repair or replacement. High traffic areas like gates are often the quickest to lose their shape and strength. Our fencing contractors can often replace a gate or repair a small damaged section in one service day. Contact our fence repair company today to schedule a consultation for one of our friendly and experienced team members to evaluate your fence.

Most Common Fence Issues And Repairs

When you notice a potential problem with your fence, it is important to address it immediately. Otherwise, your fence will accumulate wear and tear and deteriorate further. This can lead to a pricier, more complicated repair in the future. To avoid this, you should schedule maintenance appointments with our repairmen at least twice a year.

Remember: when it comes to your fence, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Rotting Wood Replacement

Wooden fences are often susceptible to wood rot. If you live in humid Florida and own a wooden fence, you know how easy it is for moisture to get trapped in your wood, leading to mold and mildew growth.

You can check your own wood for early signs of rotting. Examine your posts for soft areas, discoloration, or splintering. It is important to replace your damaged wood as quickly as possible. If the rot is allowed to spread and proliferate, it will weaken your fence’s structure and framework. Our Gainesville fence repairmen will remove rotted wood for you. We will then use a wood filler, in the same color as your fence, and sand it once it dries. To prevent this same issue from happening again, we will also apply a wood sealant or preservative. Our sealants will keep moisture away from your fence and help maintain the original appearance of your wood for years to come.

Fence Rust And Corrosion

Rust is an issue that typically affects chain-link and wrought-iron fences. Rust can destroy your metal, making it much more likely to break.

Don’t fret. Our professional fence repair company will quickly and easily remove the rust from your fence, using either a wire brush or sandpaper. Next, we will place a rust converter on your fence. Our rust converters utilize chemicals to stabilize your rust and stop it from spreading to the rest of your fence.

Pest Infestations

Termites love the taste of wood. It’s their favorite snack! To these pesky bugs, your wooden fence is an all-you-can-eat-buffet.

No one wants termites as a guest. That’s why our Gainesville Fencing Company will pressure-treat your wood and use wood sealant. These barriers will stop termites in their tracks and discourage them from burrowing into your wooden fence.

Fence Post Replacements

Fence posts are crucial to your fence’s structural integrity. These posts need to be strong and durable, as they are responsible for supporting most of your fence’s weight. If these posts accidentally receive cracks or breaks, your entire fence can fall apart. If they are too damaged, they may need to be swapped out and replaced entirely.

At Gainesville Fencing Company, we want you to feel comfortable and confident in your new fence. That’s why our expert fence contractors set all of your fence posts in concrete – keeping them forever in place.

Fastener Replacements

Fasteners are used to secure the boards and rails of your fence. We will replace any loose or missing nails and fasteners to ensure stability and prevent your fence from sagging.
