Fence Repair in Houston, TX
Fence repair in Houston is mostly about posts. When a post rots or heaves in clay soil, the boards and rails follow. We fix what is broken, tell you when a full replacement makes more sense and give both prices in writing.
Signs your fence needs repair
- Posts lean or wobble when pushed
- Boards are loose, cracked or have fallen off
- Rails sag between posts
- Gate drags on the ground or will not latch
- Rot at the bottom of boards and posts
- Gaps appear as wood shrinks
- Storm or fallen tree damage
- Rust on nails, hinges or steel posts

Good to know in Houston
Houston’s wet and dry cycles push posts out of plumb, and termites and rot attack wood at the ground. After hurricanes, storm winds knock down long runs of solid fence. Soft ground can also hide old concrete footings that must be broken out before a new post is set.
Call 811 before any digging, even for a single post. Replacing a fence in the same spot usually needs no city permit, but your HOA may need to approve the change.
Questions about fence repair
Should I repair or replace my fence?
If more than a third of the posts are bad, replacing is usually better. We give both prices so you can compare.
Can you repair a fence after a storm?
Yes. We prioritize wind damage and can reset posts and re-hang panels. Plan members get priority.
Do you match old boards?
We match the type and size as closely as we can. New wood will look different until it weathers.
How long does a repair take?
Small repairs take a few hours. A full section rebuild can take one to two days.
