Fence Repair in the Philadelphia Area

When Your Fence Needs More Than a Quick Fix

A fence doesn’t have to be a total loss because one section failed. Storms knock down panels. Posts rot at the base. Gates sag until they won’t latch anymore. Fence repair is how you fix the problem without replacing a fence that’s otherwise sound.

We perform both minor and structural fence repair across the Philadelphia area, on fences of every material. We work in-house, with our own crew, assessing the damage to understand what needs fixing.

What We Repair

Wood fence repair is the most common structural job we take on, especially after a storm. But we work on all types of material:

  • Wood: broken boards, leaning or rotted posts, storm-damaged sections, failed structural components.

  • Vinyl: cracked panels, hardware failures, damaged sections.

  • Aluminum: bent pickets, damaged rails, hardware failures.

  • Chain link: torn or damaged fabric, bent posts, hardware failures.


One exception: we don’t repair fencing purchased from big box retailers. We’ll let you know if that applies when you contact us.

Gate Repair

Gates take more abuse than any other part of a fence, and it shows. They’re the most common repair call we get. Constant opening and closing wears down hinges. Latches loosen. Gates sag over time as the ground shifts beneath the posts, until they stop closing flush or stop latching altogether.

Fence gate repair often comes down to hardware: replacing worn hinges, realigning a sagging frame, or fixing a latch that’s stopped catching. In some cases, the gate post itself has shifted or rotted, which means the repair goes deeper than the hardware. Either way, we diagnose what’s wrong before recommending a fix, rather than guessing.

Repair or Replace? How We Help You
Make the Call

Not every damaged fence is worth repairing, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case. The two biggest factors are the age of the fence and its overall structural condition.

A fence with isolated damage: a bad section after a storm or a single rotted post, is usually a simple repair, especially if the rest of the fence is structurally sound. A fence that’s older and showing widespread wear, multiple failing posts, or rot that’s spread beyond one section is a different conversation. At that point, putting more money into repair may not make sense compared to replacing it.

We won’t recommend a repair you don’t need. If your fence is past the point where repair makes financial sense, we’ll say so and explain why.

Do You Need a Permit for Repair Work?

Some Philadelphia-area townships require permits for fence repair work, particularly when a repair involves replacing a significant section or a structural component like a post.

Requirements vary by municipality. We’ll let you know if your repair falls into that category when we assess the job.

A Note on Repair Warranties

Repair work is different from new installation. When we repair a fence, we’re working with existing materials, existing conditions, and sometimes existing problems we didn’t create and can’t fully account for. That’s why repair work isn’t covered under the same workmanship warranty as a new installation. We’ll still do the job right and stand behind the quality of our labor. But we can’t guarantee the long-term performance of a fence we didn’t build from the ground up.t every property like it matters, because it does.

Common Questions About Fence Repair

Yes, in most cases. You don’t need to have a fence installed by us to get it repaired by us. The same big box exception applies here though. If your fence came from a big box retailer, we won’t be able to take the job. Otherwise, we’ll assess what’s there and tell you honestly what it needs.

Turnaround averages four to six weeks, though peak season can extend that timeline.

Sometimes. It depends on your township and the scope of the repair. We’ll tell you if a permit applies when we assess the job.

It depends on the age and structural condition of the fence. Isolated damage on an otherwise sound fence is usually repairable. Widespread wear or rot across multiple sections often leads to replacement. We’ll give you an honest assessment either way.

We stand behind the quality of our labor, but repair work isn’t covered under the same workmanship warranty as new installations, since we’re working with existing materials and conditions we didn’t originally build.

Gate repair. Hinges, latches, and sagging gates make up the majority of the repair calls we get.
