HOMEOWNER TIPS
Repair or Replace?
What Your Fence Is Telling You A little maintenance now can protect your privacy, curb appeal and property for years to come.
A loose board or sagging gate doesn’t always mean you need a brand-new fence. If the damage is limited and the posts are still sturdy, a few targeted repairs may be all it takes. But widespread rot, leaning sections, warping, storm damage, or repairs that just don’t seem to last can signal that replacement is the smarter investment. Before making the call, consider your fence’s age, overall condition, and how much of it actually needs attention.
Not sure whether to repair or replace? Know the signs before you decide.
