Fast, reliable fence repair and replacement services that restore your fence to like-new condition.
Signs Your Fence Needs Repair or Replacement
Fences take a beating from weather, age, and daily wear. Sometimes a simple repair can fix the problem, and other times a full replacement makes more sense. Knowing when to repair versus replace can save you money and frustration. Here are some common signs that your fence needs attention.
Common Fence Problems
- Leaning or sagging posts caused by soil erosion or rotting wood
- Broken or missing fence panels from storm damage or accidents
- Loose or rusted hardware that makes gates difficult to open or close
- Fading, peeling paint, or discoloration that affects curb appeal
- Cracked or warped wood that weakens the structure
- Gaps between panels or along the ground that let pets escape
At Advanced Palatka Fencing, we inspect your fence thoroughly and give you an honest assessment. If a repair will get you a few more years, we recommend that. If replacement is the smarter long-term investment, we explain why. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your property and budget.
When to Repair and When to Replace
Deciding between repair and replacement depends on the extent of the damage, the age of your fence, and how much more life you can get out of it. Here is how we approach this decision.
Repair Makes Sense When
If your fence is relatively new and the damage is limited to a few posts or panels, repair is usually the most cost-effective option. Maybe a storm knocked down a section, or a vehicle backed into your gate. These are isolated issues that we can fix without replacing the entire fence. Repairs also make sense if your fence is still structurally sound but needs cosmetic touch-ups like painting or staining.
Replacement Makes Sense When
If your fence is more than 15 to 20 years old and showing widespread damage, replacement is often the smarter choice. Multiple leaning posts, extensive rot, or structural instability are signs that your fence has reached the end of its life. Replacing it now prevents ongoing repair costs and gives you a fresh start with modern materials that require less maintenance. Upgrading to vinyl fencing or aluminum fencing can also reduce future upkeep.
Our Honest Recommendation
We never push you toward the most expensive option. If a repair will do the job, we tell you. If replacement saves you money in the long run, we explain why. We provide a detailed estimate for both options when applicable, so you can make an informed choice. Our priority is to give you a solution that fits your needs and lasts.
Common Fence Repairs We Handle
We handle all types of fence repairs, no matter the material or issue. Our team has the experience and tools to get your fence back in shape quickly. Here are some of the most common repairs we perform.
Post Replacement and Stabilization
Fence posts carry the weight of your entire fence. If they rot, lean, or break, the whole structure becomes unstable. We dig out damaged posts, install new ones in concrete, and make sure they are level and secure. This is one of the most important repairs because it restores the strength of your fence.
Panel and Picket Replacement
Broken or missing panels and pickets are common after storms or accidents. We replace damaged sections with matching materials so your fence looks uniform. If we cannot find an exact match for older fences, we offer solutions that blend in as closely as possible.
Gate Repair and Hardware Replacement
A sagging or stuck gate is frustrating to deal with every day. We fix gate alignment issues, replace hinges and latches, and install new hardware to keep your gate functioning smoothly. If your gate is beyond repair, we can build and install a new one to match your existing fence.
Painting and Staining
Wood fences need regular maintenance to protect them from the elements. If your fence looks faded or weathered, we can sand, paint, or stain it to restore its appearance and add years to its life. Fresh paint or stain also boosts your property value and curb appeal.
