Fence & Gate Repairs

We handle sagging gates, broken posts, and storm damage on the same visit. Because Utah weather punishes outdoor structures, your fence needs expert care.

Why Fence and Gate Repairs Matter in Utah

Utah puts extreme stress on fences every season. High winds tear off pickets and snap posts at ground level. Freeze-thaw cycles crack vinyl panels and rot wood bases.

A damaged fence leaves pets and children at risk. It drops your curb appeal and home value fast.

Therefore, early fence and gate repairs save you money over time. Small fixes prevent full section failures down the road. Because we carry common parts on our trucks, most jobs wrap up the same day. Our crew knows local fence styles inside and out.

Common Problems That Need Fence and Gate Repairs

Most damage falls into a few clear categories. Knowing the issue helps us quote work by phone. Acting fast keeps small problems from turning costly.

Leaning or Broken Posts

Posts hold your entire fence upright. When one rots or breaks in wind, the whole section leans. We dig out the old post and set a new one in concrete.

We use pressure-treated lumber or steel inserts for vinyl posts. Therefore, the new post resists moisture for years.

Wind-Damaged Panels and Pickets

Utah sees sustained gusts that rip boards off rails. Vinyl panels crack at joints during spring storms. Because we stock common sizes, we swap damaged pieces on site. We stain new wood to match aged sections.

Sagging or Dragging Gates

A gate that drags usually has a hinge or post issue. We check the post for plumb first. Then we swap worn hinges for heavy-duty hardware.

We add braces if the frame has racked over time. Therefore, the gate swings free again without scraping.

Latch and Hardware Failures

Latches corrode and springs break with daily use. We replace slide bolts and spring hinges with commercial-grade parts. Because quality hardware lasts longer, your gate stays functional for years. We adjust strike plates for a smooth close every time.

Fence Types We Handle

Wood Fences

Cedar and treated pine are most common along the Wasatch Front. We match board profiles like dog-ear, flat-top, and French Gothic. We stain new boards to blend with older sections.

If your fence needs more than spot fixes, we rebuild full runs. We reuse solid posts to save you money.

Vinyl Fences

Vinyl resists rot but cracks in cold snaps. Color matching is the main challenge since white vinyl yellows. We source panels from major brands for close matches.

Because full section swaps keep color consistent, we discuss that option first. We fix broken caps, rails, and post sleeves.

Chain-Link Fences

Chain-link is tough yet not indestructible. We patch torn mesh and replace bent top rails. We tension sagging fabric and straighten leaning posts.

If the gate binds, we adjust the frame and swap the latch. Therefore, the entire line stays tight and secure.

Our Repair Process

We follow a clear process on every job so nothing gets missed. First, we inspect the full fence line for hidden damage. Then we give you a written quote before any work starts. Because transparency matters, you know the cost up front.

For gate work, we start at the post. If it stands plumb, we focus on the frame. We add corner brackets and replace rotted bottom rails.

We set hinges at the correct height for smooth swing. If the post has shifted, we reset it in concrete first.

For driveway and double gates, we install drop rods and cane bolts. These lock the fixed panel in place during wind. We align both panels so they close flush every time.

Wind Damage and Storm Repair

Spring storms along the Wasatch Front bring gusts over 60 mph. That force snaps posts and flattens entire fence runs overnight. After a storm, we prioritize securing your property fast. We set temporary fixes while sourcing parts for the final repair.

Insurance often covers storm damage to fences. Therefore, we document everything with photos and clear estimates. We break costs by materials and labor for your adjuster. Because storms hit multiple structures at once, our crew handles fence and gate repairs alongside deck fixes on the same visit.

The International Code Council residential fencing standards require posts set at proper depth for wind loads. We follow these guidelines on every project to ensure lasting stability.

Materials and Quality Hardware

We never cut corners on materials. All posts are pressure-treated to ground-contact rating. Hardware is stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized.

Gate hinges match the actual weight of your gate panel. Because cheap parts fail fast, we only use commercial-grade products.

For vinyl jobs, we use factory-matched components. Therefore, the repair blends in and your warranty stays valid. Chain-link fabric is galvanized and gauge-matched to existing mesh. Fast-setting concrete means posts cure in under 24 hours.

Repair vs. Full Replacement

Not every fence is worth fixing piece by piece. If more than a third of your posts have rotted, replacement may cost less. Fences past 20 years with many weak spots often need full rebuilds. We give you an honest answer about which path fits your budget.

However, fences with a few bad sections benefit from targeted repairs. Because spot fixes save thousands over tearing everything out, we suggest them when possible. Repairs finish in a day while full installs take a week or more.
