Fence Repair in Austin, TX

If damage is isolated to a few pickets, one section, or a gate, repair is almost always the right call. If posts are rotted at the base, multiple sections are leaning, or the fence has had recurring issues, replacement often makes more financial sense long-term. We give you an honest assessment either way. Read our guide on fence repair vs. replacement for more detail.

Yes. Storm damage is one of the most common calls we get in Austin, especially after spring and fall severe weather. We respond promptly, assess the full extent of the damage, and give you honest repair or replacement options. Either way, we prioritize getting your property secured quickly.

In Austin, the most common cause of leaning fences is posts set too shallow in Blackland Prairie clay soil. This soil expands when wet and contracts when dry — a seasonal cycle that shifts shallow posts over time. We reset posts at the correct depth so the problem doesn't repeat.

Yes. We repair wood fences, cedar fences, vinyl fences, chain link fences, aluminum fences, iron fences, and gates across all these fence types. We work with matching materials to keep the repaired sections consistent with your existing fence.

Most residential fence repairs are completed in a single day. Storm damage repairs affecting multiple sections may take 1 to 2 days. We give you a timeline during the estimate so you know what to expect before we schedule.

Yes. Sagging gates, gates that won't latch, dragging gates, and broken hinges are all common repairs we handle. Gates take more wear than any other part of the fence because they're the only part that moves regularly. We realign, rehang, and replace hardware as needed.

Absolutely. We repair isolated damage — a few broken pickets, a cracked panel, a single leaning section. You don't need to replace the whole fence for minor damage. We assess, give you an honest quote, and repair only what actually needs it.

Yes. Rotted posts are one of the most important repairs to address because a bad post compromises the entire fence section it supports. We remove the rotted post, dig out properly, and set a new post at the correct depth with the right concrete mix for Austin's soil conditions.

Yes. Every repair comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty. If something we repaired fails within the first year due to our workmanship, we come back and fix it at no additional cost.

Yes. Austin Fence Contractors is 100% insured for all fence repair work. This protects you, your property, and our crew throughout the repair. We provide proof of insurance upon request.

The 1-year workmanship warranty covers defects in our repair work — posts that lean again due to improper resetting, pickets that weren't properly secured, gates we repaired that fail again. It does not cover new damage from weather events or modifications made after our work.

Yes. We apply premium wood and cedar fence stains and sealants that protect against UV damage, moisture, rot, and insects. Austin's climate is hard on untreated wood. Proper sealing after a repair — or as standalone maintenance — significantly extends the life of your fence.

A fence that's structurally sound but cosmetically worn — discolored, slightly weathered, with a few loose boards — is a great candidate for repair and staining. A fence where posts are failing, sections are shifting, or rot has spread into the structural members is likely approaching the end of its useful life. We assess honestly during the free estimate.

Yes. We repair fences for businesses, commercial properties, multi-family developments, and HOA common areas throughout Austin. Same 1-year workmanship warranty, same quality, same crew.

Most fence repairs do not require a permit in Austin. Replacing like-for-like materials within the existing fence footprint is generally exempt. If you're changing the fence height or location, permit requirements may apply. A license is not required for fence contractors in Central Texas. Permits, when required, are handled by trusted third-party partners.

We do our best to match materials, wood species, and stain colors to your existing fence. For older fences, there may be some weathering variance, but our goal is a repair that blends as naturally as possible.
