Question 1

How do I know if I need to replace my wooden fence or just repair it?

Accepted Answer

If your fence has extensive rot, leaning posts, broken boards, or damage to multiple areas, it’s likely time for a replacement. Minor issues like loose boards or damaged gates can often be repaired. At The Fence Builder, our experts assess your fence and provide the best solution—whether that’s a full replacement, post replacement, or gate replacement.

Question 2

Should I hire a fence contractor or replace the fence myself?
