Common Fencing Repairs and Fixes

Premature failure of posts – If fences are not installed properly, the posts may lean or even fall. This affects the integrity of the entire fence. To repair the fence, you may want to replace the posts by placing them farther in the ground. Steel posts can also be added to prevent future occurrences.

Rotting wood – To prevent rotting, you may want to spend the extra money to purchase high-quality, rot resistant wood. Cheaper woods are more subject to premature rotting. If rotting does occur, you can replace the affected boards. Following the repair, coat the fence in high quality stain to prevent future rotting.

Chipping paint – Repainting your fence will be necessary after several years. You will want to fully remove the current paint, and then apply the new paint and new stain.
