Fence Repair & Replacement

Why Fence Repair Matters

Your fence does more than mark property lines. It keeps your family and pets safe, adds privacy to your outdoor space, and boosts your home's value. But Florida's weather can be tough on fences. Strong storms, humidity, and intense sun can damage even the best materials over time.

When you notice loose boards, leaning posts, or rust spots, don't wait. Small problems turn into big ones fast. A wobbly section can collapse in the next storm. A few rotted boards can spread to healthy wood. That's where we come in. RidgeCraft Palm Harbor Fencing fixes fence issues before they get worse.

Common Fence Problems We Fix

Living in Palm Harbor means dealing with weather that can wear down your fence. Here's what we repair most often:

• Broken or Missing Boards: Whether it's storm damage or wear and tear, we replace damaged sections to match your existing fence.
• Leaning Posts: Posts shift when the ground settles or after heavy rain. We reset them properly with new concrete.
• Rusted Chain-Link: Rust spreads quickly on metal fences. We cut out damaged sections and install fresh galvanized wire.
• Cracked Vinyl Panels: Sun damage and impacts can crack vinyl. We swap out broken panels for new ones.
• Loose Gates: Gates that drag or won't latch need new hinges, posts, or frames. We fix them all.
• Wood Rot: Florida's humidity causes wood to rot. We replace rotted sections before the damage spreads.

When to Repair vs Replace Your Fence

Not every damaged fence needs complete replacement. Sometimes repair is smarter and saves you money. Here's how we decide:

Repair Makes Sense When:

The damage affects less than 20% of your fence. A few broken boards or one leaning post doesn't mean you need a whole new fence. We replace the damaged parts and your fence looks great again. This works best when your fence is less than 10 years old and the rest is still solid.

Replacement Is Better When:

More than a third of your fence has problems, or if it's over 15 years old and showing its age everywhere. At that point, you're better off with a fresh start. A new fence means no more patch jobs, better security, and a warranty on all the work. We'll walk your property with you and give honest advice about what makes the most sense for your situation and budget.

Whether you need wood fence repairs or a complete vinyl fence replacement, we handle it all. Every repair comes with the same attention to detail as a new installation.
