Louisiana-specific repair guidance
Louisiana weather is hard on fences. We look beyond the obvious break to address the cause—so the repair holds up through the next season.
- Wet soils + flooding: we check for post movement, washouts, and soft spots, then reset posts and improve drainage where possible.
- Hurricanes + straight-line winds: we reinforce corners, replace compromised posts, and rebuild sections with proper bracing and fasteners.
- Heat + humidity: we account for wood movement and hardware expansion, and recommend rot-resistant materials where needed.
- Coastal corrosion: we use appropriate hardware and coatings and replace rusted components before they fail.
- Clay soils: we evaluate heave and shifting, then re-level and re-tension fence lines.
Emergency and storm damage repairs
After storms, safety comes first. We can secure hazards, stabilize leaning sections, and provide a repair plan for full restoration.
- Temporary stabilization and section securing
- Post resets and panel replacement after wind damage
- Chain link re-tensioning after impact or fallen limbs
- Gate realignment so you can lock up again
- Commercial perimeter repairs to restore access control
If your gate or opener was affected, start with Gates and Entries and Gate Openers—we’ll help you decide the fastest path back to secure operation.
Repair vs. replace
We’ll give you a clear recommendation. Many fences can be repaired cost-effectively, but sometimes replacement is the smarter long-term option.
- Repair is often best when damage is localized, posts are solid, and the fence is structurally sound.
- Replace is often best when multiple posts are failing, rot/corrosion is widespread, or the fence no longer meets your security/privacy needs.
- Upgrade opportunity: if you’re changing function (privacy, security, pets, pool safety), explore Fence Categories or browse Fence Styles.
Our repair process and timeline
- Quick assessment: we review damage, safety concerns, and access needs.
- Scope + options: repair-only vs partial rebuild vs upgrade recommendations.
- Scheduling: we coordinate around weather windows and site access.
- Repair work: reset posts, replace materials, re-tension lines, and tune gates.
- Final check: alignment, latch function, tension, and clean-up.
Timeline depends on fence type, material availability, and how much of the line needs rebuilding. We’ll set expectations up front.
Pricing factors (no surprise add-ons)
- Fence type and material (wood, chain link, vinyl, ornamental, composite, farm/perimeter)
- Number of posts to reset/replace and footing depth needed
- Extent of damage and whether sections must be rebuilt
- Gate hardware, rollers/tracks, and alignment complexity
- Access constraints (tight yards, commercial sites, slopes, wetlands)
- Haul-off/disposal and any temporary securing needs
Fence repair FAQs
Can you repair just one section?
Yes. We can repair a single panel, a run between posts, or a gate area—then match materials as closely as possible.
Do you repair fences you didn’t install?
Yes. We’ll assess the existing build and recommend repairs that improve strength and alignment.
Can you fix a sagging gate?
Often, yes—by resetting posts, replacing hinges, adjusting hardware, or rebuilding the gate frame when needed.
What if posts are rotted or loose?
We typically replace or reset posts first—most lasting repairs start with a stable foundation.
Can you repair commercial security fences?
Yes. We repair commercial chain link, ornamental/metal, and access points to restore perimeter integrity and gate function.
Do you handle opener issues too?
We can help with compatible troubleshooting and basic component swaps. For full automation options, see Gate Openers.
