The type of maintenance or repair your fence needs depends on the type of fence, the extent of the damage, and other factors. Regardless of the material or damage, the first step is to call a professional from Mr. Handyman to assess the problem. We can then tell you what type of service is needed, including the fence repair cost. The most common wood fence repairs are panel work, slat replacement, or moisture damage corrections.

Wood fences warp and bend as they age and may need to be realigned. However, depending on the damage, replacing a wood fence may be better than repairing it. Chain link fences are susceptible to moisture damage as well. Typically, you’ll see sagging that is compounded by metal corrosion. If you do, that is your sign to replace or repair it. Typical repairs include replacing fence posts, hinges, and other hardware. If you notice any of the above or similar issues with your fence, it's best to check its overall condition before things worsen.

It depends! Cedar and redwood are popular wood fences because they naturally resist rot, decay, and insect damage, which helps the fence panels or pickets remain in good condition for many years. Cedar is also popular due to its durability, natural color, and affordability. While redwood is pricier, it offers a high-end appearance and excellent durability, making it ideal for those looking for a fence with a distinct look.

A board-on-board style (where overlapping boards cover gaps) can help minimize warping or splitting by allowing the wood to expand and contract with changes in moisture. This reduces the need for fence repairs. With regular maintenance like staining or sealing, this fence style can remain sturdy and attractive for 20-30 years or more.

Using pressure-treated wood for a fence is generally a smart choice since it’s treated with chemicals that help it resist rot, decay, and insect damage. That means it can better withstand the elements and last longer. While you can use untreated wood for the fence panels or pickets if you prefer a more natural look, using pressure-treated wood for the posts is particularly important, as they are more susceptible to moisture from the soil. Using pressure-treated wood for the posts can help prevent rot where the posts contact the ground, which is a common point of failure in fences, and ensure your fence stays sturdy over time. If you’re in a region with high humidity or frequent rain, fence installation projects can benefit from pressure-treated wood, adding extra durability and longevity to your fence.

While doing it yourself can save on labor costs and give you the satisfaction of a job well done, wood fence installation is a physically demanding task that can take a lot of time, especially if you have a large area to fence in. If you’re unsure about any part of the process or if the project seems overwhelming, it might be worth consulting a professional to ensure the fence is properly installed.

Start by checking which parts of the wood fence are rotted. Sometimes, it’s just a few boards. However, it could be that the whole post needs replacing. Carefully remove any damaged wood with a pry bar or hammer, removing all the rot to prevent it from spreading.

If you’re replacing a post, dig out the old one and set the new one in concrete for extra stability. Cut new boards or posts to size, secure them with exterior-grade screws or nails, and then seal or stain the new wood to protect it from moisture. This prevents the rot from coming back.
