Fence Repair & Replacement

Professional Fence Repair Services in Sanford

Your fence takes a beating from Florida's weather. Strong storms, intense sun, high humidity, and daily wear can damage even the best-built fences. When your fence starts showing its age, you need fast, professional repair to prevent small problems from becoming big headaches.

At TrustyCrew Sanford Fencing, we specialize in bringing damaged fences back to life. Whether you have a few broken boards, leaning posts, or extensive damage from a storm, we can help. Our repair services are often more affordable than full replacement, and we can typically complete repairs much faster than building a new fence.

Common Fence Problems We Fix

We've seen just about every type of fence damage you can imagine. Here are the most common issues we repair for homeowners in Sanford and surrounding areas:

• Leaning or tilted fence sections: Usually caused by rotted posts or ground shifting
• Broken or missing fence boards: Common after storms or from general wear and tear
• Rotted fence posts: The most critical repair since posts support your entire fence
• Damaged or sagging gates: Gates get used constantly and often need adjustment or repair
• Loose or missing fasteners: Screws and nails work loose over time, weakening your fence
• Cracked vinyl panels: Sun exposure and impact can crack vinyl fencing
• Rust damage on metal fences: Chain-link and iron fences can rust in Florida's humid climate

Not sure if your fence can be repaired or needs replacement? We offer free inspections and honest assessments. If repairs make sense, we'll recommend them. If replacement is the better choice, we'll explain why.

When to Repair vs. When to Replace

This is the question every homeowner asks. The answer depends on several factors, and we'll help you make the right decision for your situation and budget.

Repair makes sense when: The damage is limited to a small area, your fence is relatively new and in good overall condition, the structural posts are still solid, and repair costs are significantly less than replacement. For example, if a storm broke three fence panels but the rest of your five-year-old fence is fine, repair is definitely the way to go.

Replacement makes sense when: More than 30% of your fence needs repair, the fence is old and showing wear throughout, multiple posts are rotted or leaning, or you're constantly making small repairs. Sometimes a new fence is the smarter long-term investment.

We'll give you honest advice based on what's best for you, not what makes us more money. If you need help deciding, check out our home page for more information about fence types, or consider our professional fence installation services if replacement is the better option.

Our Repair Process

We make fence repair as easy and stress-free as possible. Here's how we work:

Step 1: Free Inspection. We come to your property to assess the damage. We'll examine the entire fence, not just the obvious problem areas, to identify any hidden issues. You'll get an honest evaluation of what needs fixing and whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Step 2: Detailed Quote. We provide a written quote that breaks down exactly what we'll do and how much it will cost. No hidden fees or surprises. We'll also give you a timeline so you know when to expect the work to be completed.

Step 3: Fast Repairs. Once you approve the quote, we schedule your repair at a time that works for you. Most repairs are completed in one day. We bring all necessary materials and tools, do the work right, and clean up thoroughly when we're done.

Step 4: Quality Check. Before we leave, we walk through the repairs with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. We stand behind our work with a warranty on both labor and materials.

Why Quick Repairs Matter

Small fence problems don't stay small. A single loose board might not seem urgent, but it can lead to bigger issues if you wait. Here's why you should address fence damage promptly:

Damaged fences compromise your property's security. A section with broken boards or a sagging gate makes it easier for unwanted visitors or animals to enter your yard. If you have kids or pets, a damaged fence is a safety concern. They could get injured on broken wood or exposed nails, or escape through gaps.

Water damage spreads quickly in Florida's humid climate. One rotted post can lead to adjacent posts rotting. What starts as a simple repair can turn into an expensive replacement project if left too long. Plus, a damaged fence hurts your home's curb appeal and can even affect your property value.

All Fence Types, All Repairs

We repair every type of fence material. Our team has experience with wood fences, vinyl and PVC fences, chain-link fences, aluminum fences, and iron fences. Different materials require different repair techniques, and we know them all.

For wood fences, we can replace individual boards, repair or replace posts, fix sagging gates, and treat wood to prevent future rot. For vinyl fences, we replace cracked panels, repair or replace damaged posts, and fix gate hardware. For metal fences, we repair rust damage, straighten bent sections, replace chain-link fabric, and fix welded connections.
