Don't Replace It — Repair It

A damaged fence does not always need to be completely replaced. In many cases, a targeted professional repair can restore your fence to full strength and appearance at a fraction of the cost of a new installation. Gulf Breeze Fence Co. repairs all fence typeswood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link — regardless of who originally installed them.

Our experienced crew diagnoses the root cause of fence problems, not just the visible symptoms. A leaning fence often means failed post footings, not just a loose board. A sagging gate may need new hinges, a reset post, or both. We fix the underlying issue so the repair lasts, giving you honest assessments and transparent pricing before any work begins.

Living on the Gulf Coast means your fence takes a beating from hurricanes, tropical storms, salt air, intense humidity, and UV exposure. We understand the unique challenges that Northwest Florida weather creates for fences, and we build our repairs to withstand them.

Common Fence Repairs

These are the repair issues we see most often on Gulf Breeze and Pensacola properties. We handle all of them.

Storm Damage Repair

Hurricanes, tropical storms, and high wind events can flatten entire fence sections. We straighten, rebuild, and replace storm-damaged fences quickly so your property is secured again as soon as possible.

Leaning & Fallen Posts

Posts lean when their concrete footings crack, when soil erodes, or when root systems push them out of alignment. We reset posts in fresh concrete or replace them entirely to restore a straight, solid fence line.

Broken & Missing Panels

Whether a single picket snapped off or an entire panel section is damaged, we match the existing material, color, and style as closely as possible for a seamless repair that blends with your existing fence.

Gate Repair & Realignment

Sagging gates, broken hinges, stuck latches, and misaligned frames are among the most common fence problems. We repair and realign gates of all types including swing gates, sliding gates, and double gates.

Rot & Rust Treatment

Florida's humidity accelerates wood rot and metal corrosion. We remove and replace rotted boards, treat surrounding wood to prevent spread, and address rust on chain link and aluminum fences before it compromises structural integrity.

Post Replacement

When a post rots at the base or breaks off at ground level, the entire fence section it supports is compromised. We dig out the old post, set a new one in concrete, and reattach the panels or rails for a solid, lasting fix.

We Repair All Fence Types

No matter what material your fence is made of or who installed it, we can repair it.

Wood Fence Repair

Board replacement, post resetting, leaning fence correction, staining and sealing after repairs, and full section rebuilds for cedar, pine, and pressure-treated wood fences.

Vinyl Fence Repair

Cracked panel replacement, broken post caps, rail reattachment, and wind-damaged section rebuilds. We source matching vinyl panels from major manufacturers to ensure a consistent look.

Aluminum Fence Repair

Bent or broken picket replacement, post straightening, gate hinge and latch repair, and section replacement. Aluminum is easy to repair in individual sections without disturbing the rest of the fence.

Chain Link Fence Repair

Mesh patching, tension wire replacement, bent top rail straightening, post resetting, and gate repairs. We also re-stretch sagging chain link mesh to restore proper tension across the fence line.

Emergency & Storm Damage Repairs

Living on the Gulf Coast means dealing with hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe thunderstorms that can destroy fences in minutes. When a storm hits your property, you need your fence repaired quickly to secure your yard, protect your pets and children, and prevent further damage from the elements.

Gulf Breeze Fence Co. offers priority emergency repair service for storm-damaged fences. We respond as quickly as conditions allow, often same-day or next-day after a storm passes. Our crews are experienced in working efficiently after severe weather events and carry the most commonly needed materials on their trucks.

We also provide detailed damage documentation including photos, measurements, and itemized repair estimates that are formatted for homeowners insurance claims. If your fence damage is covered by your policy, our documentation makes the claims process smoother and faster. We are happy to work directly with your insurance adjuster if needed.

Signs Your Fence Needs Repair

Catching these warning signs early can save you from a much more expensive full replacement down the road.

Leaning Posts

Posts tilting more than a few degrees indicate footing failure or soil erosion that will worsen over time.

Loose or Missing Boards

Missing pickets and loose boards create gaps that compromise security and allow pets to escape.

Rust Spots

Visible rust on chain link or metal fences spreads quickly in Gulf Coast humidity and weakens the structure.

Sagging Gate

A gate that drags, sticks, or will not latch properly is usually a sign of hinge failure or post shifting.

Visible Rot

Soft, discolored, or crumbling wood at the base of posts or along bottom rails means rot has set in and will spread.

Gaps at Bottom

Gaps between the fence and ground from soil erosion or settling allow pets and wildlife to pass underneath.

Fence Repair Questions

Answers to the most common questions we hear from Gulf Breeze homeowners about fence repairs.

Most standard fence repairs are completed within one to three business days of your approved estimate. Simple fixes like a broken board, loose gate hinge, or missing pickets can often be done in a single visit. For emergency storm damage repairs, we offer same-day or next-day service when conditions allow. After major weather events, we prioritize repairs based on urgency and safety concerns to get your property secured as quickly as possible.

It depends on the age of the fence and the extent of the damage. As a general rule, if more than 50% of the fence is damaged or the fence is over 15 years old, full replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs. However, if the damage is localized to a few posts or a single section, repair is almost always the better value. We will give you an honest, no-pressure assessment during your free estimate and explain the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation.

Yes, absolutely. We repair all fences regardless of who installed them, when they were installed, or what brand of materials were used. We work on wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fences from any manufacturer. If your original installer is no longer in business or you moved into a home with an existing fence, we are happy to take over its maintenance and repair.

Storm and wind damage to fences is often covered under the "other structures" portion of your homeowners insurance policy. Coverage varies by policy, so we recommend checking with your insurer. Gulf Breeze Fence Co. provides detailed repair estimates, before-and-after photos, and itemized documentation that is formatted specifically for insurance claims. We have extensive experience working with insurance adjusters in the Gulf Breeze and Pensacola area and are happy to coordinate directly with yours to make the process as smooth as possible.
