Fence Repair & Replacement
Expert fence repair and replacement services to restore your fence strength, function, and appearance.
Common Fence Problems We Fix
Fences take a beating from Florida weather, daily use, and time. Even the best-installed fence eventually needs repairs or replacement. Knowing when to repair versus replace saves you money and prevents small problems from becoming bigger issues. At OCE Ocala Fencing, we assess your fence honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Leaning or loose posts are one of the most common problems we see. Posts can shift due to ground movement, root growth, or concrete deterioration. A leaning fence not only looks bad, it also puts stress on the entire structure that can lead to more damage. We can straighten and re-secure posts or replace them entirely if they are rotted or too damaged to repair.
Broken or missing boards, pickets, or panels affect both appearance and function. A gap in your privacy fence defeats its purpose, and damaged sections create safety hazards. Wood fences are particularly vulnerable to rot, insect damage, and weather wear. We replace damaged sections to match your existing fence as closely as possible, or we can upgrade the entire fence if it makes more sense financially.
Gate problems frustrate homeowners daily. Sagging gates that drag on the ground, latches that do not work properly, and hinges that squeak or bind make using your fence a hassle. Most gate issues stem from loose hardware, worn hinges, or posts that have shifted. We repair or replace gate components and ensure everything operates smoothly.
When to Repair vs Replace Your Fence
Signs You Need Repairs
Minor damage or isolated problems usually call for repairs rather than full replacement. If only a few boards are damaged, one or two posts have shifted, or your gate needs adjustment, repairs make economic sense. We can match materials to your existing fence and restore function without the expense of starting over.
- One or two damaged sections while the rest of the fence is solid
- Loose or wobbly posts that can be re-secured
- Gate hardware or alignment issues
- Minor rot or weather damage caught early
- Cosmetic damage like peeling paint or loose boards
Signs You Need Replacement
Sometimes replacement costs less than extensive repairs, especially if your fence has widespread damage. If more than 30 percent of the fence needs work, replacement often makes more financial sense. You also get the benefit of a completely new fence with a warranty and modern materials.
- Multiple sections with rot, insect damage, or structural problems
- Majority of posts are leaning or damaged
- Fence is 15-20 years old and showing age throughout
- You want to change fence style, height, or material
- Repair costs approach 50 percent or more of replacement cost
During your free estimate, we evaluate your fence condition and provide honest recommendations. If repairs will get you several more years of service, we tell you that. If replacement makes more sense, we explain why and show you the cost difference.
Our Repair and Replacement Process
We start every repair job with a thorough inspection. This helps us identify all the problems, not just the obvious ones. Sometimes what looks like a simple fix has underlying issues that need attention. We document everything and explain what we find in plain language.
Quick Repairs
Many fence repairs take just a few hours. We show up with the right materials and tools to fix the problem efficiently. Whether we are replacing boards, re-securing posts, or adjusting gates, we work quickly without sacrificing quality. Your fence is functional again the same day in most cases.
Partial Replacement
When one section needs replacement but the rest is fine, we remove only the damaged area and install new materials. We match your existing fence style and try to source similar materials so the repair blends in. Over time, weathering helps new sections match the rest of your fence even better.
Full Replacement
Complete fence replacement follows the same process as our new installations. We remove your old fence, prepare the site, and install your new fence using proper techniques. You can choose the same style as before or upgrade to a different material like low-maintenance vinyl for better long-term value.
