Fence Repair on Long Island
Most fence problems come down to posts. When a post rots at grade or its footing heaves in a freeze, the panels it carries lean with it. We reset and replace posts, rebuild storm-damaged sections, re-hang sagging gates, and match existing wood or PVC fencing so the repair blends in.
Problems this solves
- Leaning sections after nor’easters and saturated winters
- Posts rotted at ground level
- Gates that drag, sag, or will not latch
- Broken pickets and panels
- A neighbor-facing fence you are tired of apologizing for
What’s included
- Post replacement with proper depth and concrete setting
- Panel and picket repair or replacement
- Gate re-hanging, bracing, and hardware
- Straightening and re-securing leaning runs
- Matching existing wood, PVC, and chain-link fencing
- Cleaning and staining wood fences
Signs you may need this
- A fence line you can see a curve in from the street
- Post movement when pushed by hand
- The gate needs a lift-and-shove to close
- Pickets popping loose after windstorms
What affects scope and price
We do not publish flat prices because these factors genuinely change the work. The estimate itemizes them for your project.
- Post count and footing condition
- Material matching, especially discontinued PVC profiles
- Soil and access along the fence line
- Repair length versus full-run replacement
Fence Repair questions
Why did my fence lean after a storm?
Wind load works on fences like a sail, and saturated soil grips posts poorly. If posts were set shallow or footings have degraded, one strong nor’easter is enough. Resetting posts deeper with proper concrete usually ends the problem.
Can you match my existing PVC fence?
Often yes, since common white PVC profiles are widely available. Discontinued styles are harder; we can sometimes relocate a panel from a low-visibility run and put the new panel where it is not seen.
How deep should fence posts be set here?
Below the frost line, which on Long Island means roughly 36 inches. Shallower posts heave over freeze-thaw cycles, which is why so many fences lean after a few winters.
