Frequently Asked Questions
This section provides answers to commonly asked questions, helping users find the information they need quickly and easily.
What is the average cost of fence repair?
The cost of fence repair depends on the material, the extent of the damage, and the size of the area that needs work. Minor fixes like replacing a few pickets may be relatively inexpensive, while repairing leaning posts or multiple damaged panels can cost more. On average, homeowners spend a few hundred dollars on small repairs, while larger sections may run into the thousands. We always provide a clear, upfront estimate before beginning any work.
How do you repair a fence panel?
Fence panels that are cracked, warped, or broken can often be replaced without taking down the entire fence. For wooden fences, damaged boards may be swapped out with new ones, stained or painted to match. With vinyl or composite fences, replacement panels are installed to blend seamlessly. The goal is always to restore the fence’s strength and appearance.
Which neighbor is responsible for fence repair?
Responsibility for fence repair between neighbors depends on property lines, local ordinances, and any agreements in place. Typically, if the fence sits on the property line, both neighbors may share the responsibility for repairs. If the fence is clearly on one property, the owner of that property is usually responsible. It’s best to check local laws and have an open conversation with your neighbor before moving forward.
Does homeowner insurance cover fence repair?
Homeowner insurance may cover fence repair if the damage is caused by a covered event, such as a storm, falling tree, or vehicle accident. However, normal wear and tear, age-related damage, or neglect are typically not covered. It’s a good idea to review your policy or speak with your insurance provider for details.
How do you repair a fence gate?
Repairing a fence gate often involves adjusting or replacing hinges, tightening hardware, or re-aligning the gate so it swings smoothly. In some cases, the gate frame may need reinforcement, or the post supporting the gate may need resetting. A professional can quickly determine whether a simple adjustment will do or if a rebuild is necessary.
How do you repair a fence post in concrete?
If a fence post set in concrete is leaning or broken, the old post and concrete footing often need to be dug out and replaced. In some cases, the concrete around the base can be reinforced and a new post secured in place. Resetting posts correctly is essential to keep the fence stable.
How do you repair a fence post with a concrete spur?
A concrete spur is a support piece that can be installed next to a weakened wooden post. The spur is set firmly in the ground with concrete, then bolted to the existing post to provide extra stability without replacing the entire structure. This is often a cost-effective solution when the post itself is still salvageable.
How do you work with an HOA for fence repair?
If you live in a community with a homeowners association (HOA), you may need approval before making fence repairs. HOAs often have rules about fence materials, colors, and styles to maintain neighborhood consistency. We frequently assist homeowners by providing detailed repair plans and material samples that can be submitted to the HOA for quick approval.

What Homeowners Say
Firsthand experiences with professional fence repair and dedicated service
We had a section of our fence collapse after a strong storm, and San Antonio Deck and Fence Works came out the very next day to give us an estimate. They explained exactly what needed to be done and kept the cost reasonable by repairing only the damaged posts and panels instead of pushing a full replacement. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left the yard spotless. You’d never know there had been damage at all. I really appreciated the professionalism throughout the process.

We had a section of our old wooden fence that was rotting and starting to lean. San Antonio Deck and Fence Works came out quickly to take care of it. They gave us options for repair or full replacement and we decided on fixing the posts and reinforcing the panels. The crew was friendly, worked efficiently, and left everything neat and clean. Our fence is sturdy now and looks great. I will definitely call them again for future projects.
James & Erica Phillips
Boerne
I contacted San Antonio Deck and Fence Works about repairing our old fence gate, which had been sagging for years. They didn’t just fix the gate; they re-leveled the supporting post, adjusted the hinges, and made sure everything lined up perfectly. They also gave us tips on maintenance to help prevent future issues. The level of detail and care they put into a relatively small job was impressive, and the communication was excellent from start to finish.
