How We Repair a Fence in Houston
01 On-Site Inspection & Estimate
We come out and walk your fence with you. We check the posts, rails, pickets, and gates, find what is actually failing and why, and give you a free written estimate. If a repair will hold, we say so. If a section is too far gone, we tell you that too.
02 Repair or Replace Plan
We lay out exactly what we will fix: which posts to reset, which pickets or rails to swap, and any gate work. If part of the fence should be rebuilt instead of patched, we scope that too, so you can compare the cost of a repair against a new run before you decide.
03 Reset Posts & Replace Rotted Wood
We dig out failed posts, clear the old footings, and reset new posts plumb in fresh concrete sized for our clay soil. Rotted posts, rails, and pickets come out and get replaced with wood that matches your fence. Where it makes sense, we upgrade to steel posts so the fix lasts.
04 Straighten Runs & Fix Gates
We straighten leaning runs, re-secure loose rails, and lock the panels back together. Sagging gates get re-hung, braced, and fitted with solid hinges and hardware so they close and latch again. When we are done, the fence lines up and the gate swings the way it should.
05 Cleanup & Walkthrough
We haul off the old wood and debris and leave your yard clean. Then we walk the finished fence with you, check every post and gate, and point out what to watch for. If the new wood should be sealed, we can set you up with fence staining to protect the repair.

Why Homeowners Trust Our Fence Repairs
Plenty of handymen will prop up a leaning fence and hope it holds. We fix the reason it failed. That means resetting posts to the right depth for our clay soil, replacing rotted wood, and rebuilding runs so they stand up to the next storm. With 20+ years in Houston and 500+ projects done, we know why fences fail here and how to make a repair last.
Houston Fences
We Fix the Cause, Not Just the Lean
We reset posts to a proper depth in fresh concrete and replace wood that has rotted at the base, so the fence does not lean right back after the next wet season. Where it helps, we can upgrade to steel posts.
Fast Response After Houston Storms
Houston sits in a high-wind zone, and storms blow fences over. We repair wind and hurricane damage across the metro and get you back on the schedule quickly when your fence goes down.
Honest Repair or Replace Advice
We never push a full rebuild when a targeted repair will hold. We show you the cost both ways and let you choose, so you spend money only where the fence actually needs it.
Fence Repair Built for Houston Conditions
Fences fail in Houston for reasons you cannot always see. The expansive clay soil under most yards swells when it rains and shrinks in drought, and that constant push slowly moves posts out of plumb. Gulf Coast humidity, heat, and termites go after pine posts right at and below ground level, where they stay damp and rot first. A post can look solid above the soil and be gone where it counts. We dig to the real problem and fix it at the source.
Storms are the other big one. Houston sits in a high-wind zone, and hurricanes and hard fronts routinely knock over tall privacy fences. When a fence goes down in wind, it usually traces back to posts that were under-set or spaced too far apart. We rebuild it to stand better next time, with posts set to a proper depth and spacing that matches the height of the fence. If you are in an HOA or master-planned community, matching materials and height may be required, and we help you stay inside those rules.
A repair is often the smarter spend, and we will tell you when it is. But if a run is too far gone, we build new fences too, so you are never stuck patching wood that should be replaced. Either way you get in-house crews, a clean job site, and a fence that lines up and lasts. When the new wood is ready, ask us about fence staining to lock in the fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fence repair cost in Houston?
Fence repair cost depends on what is wrong. Resetting one leaning post costs far less than replacing a whole run of rotted posts or rebuilding panels a storm blew over. Small fixes like re-securing rails or swapping a few pickets are on the low end. That is why we give a free on-site estimate first, so you see the price before any work starts. After 20+ years and 500+ projects in Houston, we can look at your fence and tell you the honest cost the same visit, plus whether a repair or a replacement is the better value.
Can a leaning fence be fixed, or does it need replacing?
Most leaning fences can be fixed. If the pickets and rails are still sound and only a few posts have shifted, we reset or replace those posts and straighten the run. If the posts are rotted at the base or the wood is failing along a long stretch, replacing that section is often the smarter spend. We tell you honestly which way makes sense for your fence and budget, and we never push a full rebuild when a targeted repair will hold.
Why do Houston fence posts lean or rot so fast?
Two Houston conditions are usually behind it. The expansive clay soil under most yards swells when it rains and shrinks in drought, and that constant movement pushes posts out of plumb over time. On top of that, Gulf Coast humidity, heat, and termites attack pine posts right at and below ground level, where they stay damp. A post can look fine above the soil and be rotted through where it counts. We fix the cause, not just the symptom, by resetting posts to a proper depth and replacing wood that has already gone.
How do you reset a fence post in Houston clay soil?
We dig out the failed post, clear the old footing, and set the new post plumb in a fresh concrete footing sized for our clay soil, which typically means going deeper than many quick fixes do (exact depth may depend on fence height and local code). Setting the post right is what keeps the repair from leaning again after the next wet season. Where it helps, we can upgrade to steel posts so the movement and rot that took out the old wood post do not come back.
Do you repair storm and hurricane fence damage?
Yes. Houston sits in a high-wind zone, and hard storms and hurricanes routinely blow over tall privacy fences and snap posts. We repair wind and storm damage across the metro, resetting or replacing posts, rebuilding panels, and re-securing rails. When a fence goes down in a storm, it often traces back to posts that were under-set or spaced too far apart, so we rebuild it to stand up better next time. Call us after a storm and we will get you back on the schedule quickly.
Can you replace just a few fence pickets or fix only the gate?
Yes. You do not have to replace a whole fence to fix a small problem. We swap out cracked or rotted pickets, re-secure loose rails, and match new wood to your existing fence as closely as possible. We also fix gates that sag, drag, or will not latch by re-hanging them, adding bracing or an anti-sag kit, and repairing or replacing hinges and hardware. If you are in an HOA or master-planned community, matching materials may be required, and we can help you stay within those rules.
