Who this is for
You typed fence repair near me because something broke. A post leans, a gate drags, or a storm took down a section.
This page is for owners who want the damage fixed without being sold a whole new fence. Sometimes a repair is enough. Sometimes it is not, and we show you why.
We repair fences at owner-occupied homes in our two markets. Those are Collin County and North Dallas, and Fort Worth and Tarrant County.
What we repair
- Leaning or loose posts. Posts carry the whole fence, so we check them first.
- Broken or missing pickets. We replace them and match the style as closely as the wood allows.
- Loose or cracked rails. Rails carry the pickets, so a bad rail spreads.
- Sagging gates. We rehang, brace or rebuild the gate.
- Gates that will not latch. Often the post has moved, not the latch.
- Storm-damaged sections. Wind and hail can drop a full run in one night.
We work on cedar and wood fences and on ornamental iron.
How a repair works, step by step
- You call or send a request. Use the fence quote form and pick repair. Tell us what you see.
- We look at the fence. We check the damaged section and the posts on both sides of it.
- We take photos. You see what we found before we recommend anything.
- You get a free estimate in writing. Each repair item gets its own line. No lump sums.
- We check your city's repair rule. Some repairs need a permit and some do not.
- We do the repair. We replace what failed and reset what moved.
- We photograph the finished work. You get before and after photos of the repair.
Repair or replace? We show you first
We do not decide this for you from the truck. We show you the photos and explain each one.
A repair makes sense when the damage is in one area and the other posts are sound. Replacement makes sense when posts have failed along most of the line.
If we recommend a line, you see the photo behind it. Then you choose.
If replacement is the answer, see cedar and wood fences or iron fences. The fence cost guide lists published per-foot ranges.
Materials and options for repairs
Posts
When we replace a post on a wood fence, our standard is a galvanized steel post set in concrete. Allen and Irving require metal posts, and Prosper requires galvanized steel.
Pickets and rails
New cedar next to weathered cedar will not match on day one. We tell you that up front. Staining the run afterward is quoted by free estimate.
Gates
A gate that is past repair can be rebuilt. Published DFW ranges are $150 to $800 for a walk gate and $400 to $900 and up for a double drive gate.
An automated drive gate with an opener runs $1,500 to $3,500 and up. We do not do electrical wiring, so we check the power already at the gate.
Does a fence repair need a permit?
It depends on the city and the size of the repair. Here is what each city publishes.
- Frisco: no permit for a repair of up to 2 sections or 16 feet.
- Plano: repairs under 25% of the fence are exempt.
- McKinney: a like-for-like repair is exempt.
- Prosper: work under 16 feet is exempt.
- Carrollton: a permit applies to more than 20 feet, new or repaired.
- Irving: a permit is required for any fence work.
- Arlington: a repair of under 50% of one side is exempt.
- Grapevine: replacing under 50% of the fence is exempt.
We check your address and write the answer on your estimate. Where a permit is required, we apply for it before work starts.
Storm-damaged fences
North Texas storms are hard on fences. March through June brings most of the area's large hail, and wind often comes with it.
After a storm, we photograph and measure the fence damage. You get a written, itemized estimate you can share with your insurer.
You file the claim. Your insurer decides coverage and the amount. We build the fence.
If the fence took a hit, the roof may have too. Ask us to check for hail and storm damage on the same visit.
Proof on a small job too

What a fence repair costs
We do not publish a fence repair price. Every repair is a free estimate, because the cost depends on what failed.
Your estimate is written and itemized. You can compare it with a replacement quote line by line.
Tax and payment
Texas does not tax labor on residential fence work. On our lump-sum residential contracts, the price you see is the price you pay.
No payment is due until materials are delivered and work begins.

Texas does not tax labor on residential roof and fence work. On our standard lump-sum residential contracts the price you see is the price you pay; we pay sales tax on materials. Commercial repair and re-roof projects and holiday lighting packages are subject to Texas sales tax, which is shown on your quote.
