Fence Repair in Texoma

Fences in North Texas fail in predictable ways, and most failures don’t require replacing the whole fence. A blown-over run after a spring storm, posts heaved out of plumb by clay soil, a gate that won’t latch by August — these are section and post problems, not whole-fence problems, and an honest repair costs a fraction of replacement.

The repairs we see most in Texoma

  • Storm and wind damage — the most common call from March through June. Straight-line winds rack panels and snap rotted posts at the ground line. Individual sections can almost always be rebuilt into the existing fence.
  • Leaning fences and failed posts — expansive clay swells and shrinks through the year, working posts loose; wood posts also rot right at grade where moisture sits. A fence that leans a little more every season has a footing problem — re-setting posts (we recommend steel replacements) fixes it permanently.
  • Sagging or dragging gates — heat, wood movement, and hinge wear. Usually a same-visit fix: re-bracing, new hardware, or re-hanging on a steel post.
  • Rotted rails and pickets — bottom rails go first where sprinklers hit them. We replace rails and pickets to match the existing fence.
  • Chain link, iron, and pipe repairs — stretched fabric, bent top rail, rusted iron sections, wire re-tensioning, and weld repairs on pipe fence.

Repair or replace? An honest framework

If more than roughly a third of the posts are failing, or the pickets themselves are widely rotted and brittle, replacement usually costs less over five years than chasing repairs. One damaged run, a handful of bad posts, or gate trouble on an otherwise sound fence — repair it. We’ll tell you plainly which side of the line your fence is on, and we walk the whole line so there are no surprise call-backs a month later.

Insurance and storm claims

Wind and hail damage to fences is commonly covered under North Texas homeowner’s policies, subject to your deductible. We document damage with photos and provide itemized written estimates suitable for claims, and we rebuild to match the existing fence so the repair doesn’t look like a patch.

What affects your price

Most single-issue repairs land between $150 and $600. Cost drivers: number of posts that need re-setting (footings are the labor), material matching (older cedar profiles and discontinued iron styles take more effort), and access along the fence line.
