Fence planning FAQ

Common questions for this project type.

When is fence repair better than replacement?

Repair may make sense when damage is localized and the surrounding fence is structurally sound.

What fence repair photos should I send?

Send wide views, close-ups, damaged post bases, rails/panels, gates, latches, and the full damaged run.

Can gate issues be repaired separately?

Often yes. Gate repairs can involve hinges, latches, posts, frames, alignment, or hardware changes.
