Fence Repair in Chester County, PA
A fallen limb, a gate that won't latch or a post that heaved over the winter doesn't always mean you need a new fence. Here's what can usually be fixed, when replacing a run makes more sense, and what to share so a repair quote is accurate.

01
Common repairs
Most repair calls fall into a few categories:
- Leaning or heaved posts reset or replaced
- Sagging gates rehung with new hinges or anti-sag kits
- Broken latches and self-closers on pool gates
- Rotted pickets, boards or rails swapped out
- Cracked vinyl panels and post caps replaced
- Sections crushed by trees or storms rebuilt
02
Why posts lean
Posts that were set too shallow get pushed up by frost, while wood posts sitting in wet clay rot at the ground line. Rebuilding the footing below the frost line with proper drainage usually fixes the problem for good. Any new digging should start with a PA One Call (811) request.

03
Repair or replace?
If most posts are sound, replacing boards, panels or a single run is often the smart move. When many posts are rotted or the fence is near the end of its life, a full replacement can cost less over time. Matching an older vinyl style or weathered wood can be difficult, so ask to see the replacement material first.
04
Storm and tree damage
Wooded lots around the county see fence damage after summer storms and heavy snow. Photograph the damage before cleanup if you plan to file an insurance claim, and have fallen trees removed before fence work begins. A pool gate that no longer closes should be fixed right away.
