Repair it or replace it? We’ll price both.
The question we hear most is whether a fence can be fixed or needs to be replaced. When a problem has more than one fix, we price each one and tell you the benefits and risks of each, so you make the call. Sometimes that means talking ourselves out of the bigger job, because a cheaper fix now buys you time until the budget is there.
A school’s back fence. A school asked us to replace the entire fence along the back of its campus. The whole run did need replacing eventually, but one section had the urgent problem: the barbed wire was falling to the ground. So instead of only pricing the full replacement, we asked if they wanted that one section priced on its own too. That way, if the full fence wasn’t in this year’s budget, they could fix the hazard now and plan the rest later.
For the full run, we laid out the material choices, from the cheapest like-for-like option to ornamental iron matching the rest of the campus, with the tradeoffs of each. We also flagged what to check before anyone quotes it: whether the fence line is shared with the neighbors, whether a utility easement limits where posts can go, and the total length.
Two more recent jobs
Gate latches at a private school. The playground gate latches had failed. We ground off the old latches, smoothed and repainted the posts, installed new latches, and anchored a loose post back into the concrete.
A 3-foot gate turned into a 6-foot double gate. We set a new terminal post, added a panel, built the double gate and re-stretched the chain-link, so there were no gaps left for a dog to slip through.
Send us a photo of the fence or gate, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a repair or a replacement before you pay for anything.
