Our fence services also include fence post repair or replacement, as damaged, deteriorated, or broken posts are a common problem here in Dallas and pretty much everywhere else to boot. Posts are really the only part of a structure that should be in contact with soil, so they are responsible for holding an entire structure up. The problem usually lies with either its buried concrete footing or an actual post itself, and in most cases, replacement is going to be the most effective course of action. The basic steps we'll follow for post replacement are:
- Remove your old post and concrete footing by digging around its footing and breaking it into smaller chunks for easier removal.
- Make sure the hole is not too deep and not too shallow, then add crushed rock or gravel to assist with moisture drainage and keep concrete supported.
- We'll then position a new post in the hole and pour concrete around it. Once the concrete is dry and fully cured, soil can be filled in over top so the footing is completely hidden from view.

FAQs About Fence Repair: Dallas
What Are the Warning Signs My Property Needs Professional Fence Repair Services in Dallas?
If they're not sure whether their structure is doing just fine or could really use fence repair, Dallas homeowners can discover the answer by walking along their existing structure—on both sides, if possible—and inspecting it for signs that the structure needs professional help.
Some telltale signs you need fence repair include:
- Cracked or broken timber
- Rotting wood
- Weathered, gray, splintered wood
- Missing fence pickets
- Peeling, flaking paint or wood stain
- Rust damage
- Weak, unstable, or leaning fence posts
- Bent, loose, or warped chain link panels
- Slats or rails are touching the ground
- Vinyl color fading due to sunlight exposure
- Broken latches or hinges on the gate
Is a Fence Repair a Better Solution than a Total Replacement?
When considering a replacement installation versus fence repair, Dallas homeowners are often unsure of which is the better course of action for their particular structure.
In many cases, getting a repair service is the right choice because we can take care of damaged spots and restore the overall structure to sound condition. However, it's worth noting that there are some situations where a total replacement is actually the better, more cost-effective option because it would be less costly than numerous time-consuming repairs, and the results would be more appealing and longer-lasting as well.
The scenarios in which it's likely best to replace all or part of the structure versus getting a repair include:
- More than around 25% of the overall structure has suffered noticeable damage
- Sudden and significant impact damage from a car or other large force
- Infested by destructive insects such as carpenter ants or termites
- Material is aged and doesn't look its best anymore
Unsure if you need fence replacement or fence repair? Dallas handyman professionals will conduct a thorough inspection before providing our recommendation and answer any questions you may have so you can make an informed decision on whether to repair vs. replace.
Why is the Latch on My Gate Misaligned?
Gates can be both attractive and practical additions to your structure, but they also present one of the most common and irritating fence problems when a latch used to line up perfectly, and now you can't even get it to close at all. This usually happens for one of two reasons: either because one or both of the gate posts have broken or deteriorated and are leaning in such a way that the two sides of your latch are nowhere near each other, or because its hinges holding your gate onto its post are loosened up. If it's the latter, it will be a simple matter of tightening or replacing the hinges.
But if the problem is there because the posts are rotten or broken off underground, the damaged post will need to be replaced entirely to ensure a proper fence repair. Dallas handyman experts on our team will handle the entire process effectively and efficiently for you to ensure a long-lasting repair.
How Can I Prevent the Need for Major Fence Repair?
Dallas homeowners looking to prevent the need for costly fence or repair services will find that regular maintenance is crucial for doing so. Conducting regular visual inspections of your fence and property line, trimming back nearby foliage, ensuring proper soil drainage, removing nearby debris, cleaning it with a gentle solution, and applying protective sealants or stains will go a long way in preventing serious fence damage, ensuring the longevity of your fence line. Additionally, by addressing minor issues with prompt fence repair, Dallas homeowners can ensure that those small problems don’t have a chance to worsen and result in major property damage and expensive fence repairs.
Dallas homeowners especially should take the time following major weather events, such as wind or hail storms, to inspect for signs of damage. These extreme weather conditions can often result in major damage to your fence, especially with old fences. If you are unsure if you need repairs, our team will be happy to inspect your fence and provide an upfront estimate for any needed repair jobs, no matter the fence type you have.
