Fence Repair & Replacement

Fast, Reliable Fence Repair in Laredo, TX

A damaged fence doesn't just look bad. It also creates safety risks and reduces your property's value. Whether your fence has been damaged by storms, age, or accidents, FortiCraft Laredo Fence Builders can restore it quickly and affordably. We repair all types of fences and get the job done right the first time.

Sometimes repair makes sense, and sometimes full replacement is the better choice. We'll give you an honest assessment and help you make the decision that fits your budget and needs. Our goal is to provide Laredo homeowners with fences that look great and last for years.

Common Fence Problems We Fix

Fences face constant wear from weather, usage, and time. Here are the most common issues we handle:

• Leaning or Falling Posts: When posts aren't set deep enough or the concrete fails, your fence starts to lean
• Broken or Missing Panels: Wind damage, impacts, or rot can break fence panels or knock them loose
• Rotting Wood: Wood fences eventually rot at ground level where moisture collects
• Sagging Gates: Heavy gates sag over time when hinges wear out or posts shift
• Damaged Rails: Top and bottom rails crack or break from weather exposure and physical stress
• Loose or Missing Hardware: Screws back out, nails rust through, and brackets break

Repair vs. Replace: Making the Right Choice

Not every damaged fence needs complete replacement. We help you decide based on these factors:

When Repair Makes Sense

Repair is usually the right choice when damage is limited to a small area. If only a few posts or panels are damaged and the rest of your fence is still in good shape, we can fix just the problem areas. This saves you money and gets your fence working again quickly. Recent fences with isolated damage are perfect candidates for repair.

When Replacement Is Better

Full replacement makes more sense when your fence has widespread problems. If more than 30-40% of your fence is damaged, replacing everything often costs less than trying to patch multiple sections. Old fences that have reached the end of their lifespan will keep needing repairs, so replacement saves money long-term. We also recommend replacement if your fence has structural issues that affect stability or safety.

Our Fence Repair Process

We make fence repair straightforward. Here's how we work:

Free Inspection and Estimate

We start by examining your entire fence, not just the obvious damage. We check post stability, look for hidden rot or rust, and test gate operation. This complete inspection helps us find all problems and prevent future issues. We then provide a detailed written estimate that explains exactly what needs to be done and why.

Quality Repairs That Last

When we repair your fence, we use quality materials that match your existing fence. Posts are reset properly with fresh concrete footings. Damaged sections are replaced with new materials that blend seamlessly. We tighten loose connections and replace worn hardware. The result is a fence that looks good and functions properly.

Why Act Quickly on Fence Damage

Small fence problems get worse over time. A single loose post puts extra stress on neighboring posts, causing them to fail. Broken panels let wind catch other sections and cause more damage. Water gets into cracks and accelerates rot or rust. What starts as a simple repair can turn into a full replacement if you wait too long.

Damaged fences also create liability issues. If your fence falls and damages a neighbor's property, you're responsible. Broken pool fences violate safety codes and put children at risk. Acting quickly on repairs protects you from these problems.

Fence Replacement Options

When replacement is the better choice, we offer all types of fencing:

• Wood Fences: Replace old wood with fresh cedar, pine, or redwood for natural beauty and privacy
• Vinyl Fences: Upgrade to maintenance-free vinyl that won't rot, warp, or need painting
• Aluminum Fences: Get the look of wrought iron without rust or maintenance concerns
• Chain-Link Fences: Replace old chain-link with new galvanized or vinyl-coated options
