Welcome to our professional fence and deck repair service. With over 20 years of experience, we specialize in building and repairing fences and decks, focusing primarily on wood, chain link, and ornamental iron.
Over the years, we've learned that many people are quick to replace their fences and decks prematurely. While we do construct new fences and decks, our business primarily focuses on repairs. We can almost always repair what you have so it lasts several more years before the big cash outlay for new is required.

Why We Focus on Repairs
You might wonder if we make more money by suggesting complete replacements. The answer is both yes and no. We are in this business for the long term and are confident in the quality of our work. Providing you with a satisfactory repair can lead to positive word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business.
Many customers prefer the cost-effective option of repairs, which keeps us busy year-round. Additionally, when it's time for a new fence in 10 years, we hope our honest and reliable service will make us your first choice.
Cost Comparison: Repair vs. Replace
Replacing an entire backyard fence can cost between $3,500 and $9,000, depending on material type, linear feet, and other factors. The useful life of a new fence is typically 8 to 20 years, but most fences need replacing between years 10 and 12 if not properly maintained.
For this example, let's assume your fence costs $5,000 to replace. We've found that 8 out of 10 fences customers are ready to replace can actually be repaired. The first repair typically costs between $200 and $1,000. Subsequent repairs every 2-4 years might cost a few hundred dollars each.
By choosing repairs and maintenance, you can extend the life of your fence by 10 years for around $1,600. This is significantly less than the $5,000 cost of a new fence. Both the repaired and new fences will reach the end of their life at the same time, but the repaired fence will have saved you money.
Financial Benefits of Repairing
If you invest the $5,000 you didn't spend on a new fence, even with simple interest, you could be thousands of dollars ahead. For instance, after 10 years, you could have around $8,400 more by choosing to repair and maintain your fence instead of replacing it.
While this scenario is simplified, the financial benefits are clear. Many of our customers use the money saved to enjoy life's moments—catching up on bills, taking family vacations, or simply enjoying more leisure time.
