Fence Repair in Lubbock, TX

What does fence repair cover?

Fence repair means fixing the part of the fence that failed and leaving the rest alone. On a cedar fence that is usually a post that snapped or worked loose, a rail that pulled off the post, a run of split or missing pickets, or a gate that sags and drags on the ground. On chain-link it is a bent top rail, torn fabric, loose ties and posts knocked out of line.

We have repaired fences around Lubbock since 1997, and fences are all we do. One post, a handful of pickets or a single gate is worth a call. Blake looks at the fence himself, tells you what broke and why, and gives you a price before anything is torn out.

Repair or replace?

Every repair starts at the posts, because a fence is only as straight as what holds it up. If the posts and rails are sound and the damage is in one or two places, repair is the better value. If posts are failing all along the line and the pickets are grey and splitting everywhere, we tell you that too, and bid a replacement alongside the repair so you can compare the two numbers.

Plenty of fences that look rough only need a few posts reset, a handful of boards and a coat of stain. We would rather fix what you have than sell you a fence you do not need.

Why do Lubbock fences break where they do?

Wind. A solid privacy fence works like a sail, and a gust that hits it broadside puts the whole load on the posts. That is why so many repairs on the South Plains start at the base of a post: one that rotted at the soil line, worked loose in dry ground or snapped in a front lets the panels on either side lean with it. Wind damage is the biggest repair category we see, and it has its own page: wind and storm damage repair.

Sun and dry air do the rest. Unsealed wood dries, cups and splits, and the fasteners that hold pickets to the rails work loose over time. Catching that early, re-fastening, replacing a few boards and sealing the fence, costs far less than waiting for a section to fall over.

Repairs we do

• Resetting or replacing snapped, rotted and leaning posts
• Replacing broken rails and re-fastening loose ones
• Replacing split, missing and rotted cedar pickets, matched to the existing boards where we can
• Rehanging sagging gates, resetting hinges and latches, squaring gate frames
• Straightening bent chain-link top rail, re-stretching and re-tying fabric, resetting posts
• Standing panels back up after wind, and replacing what cannot be saved

Wood fence work in more detail is on the wood fence repair page, and chain-link on the chain-link fence repair page.

How a repair goes

Call or send the form. Blake comes out for a free in-town estimate, pushes on the posts, measures the damaged run and tells you whether he would repair or replace. You get the price before work starts. The same crew that has built with us for over 10 years does the repair, works around gardens and pets, and hauls off the broken pieces. We never subcontract.
