#1 Fence Repair Company in Vacaville, CA

At Fencing Vacaville CA, we take a strategic approach to properly repair your fence. Here is an overview of our fence repair process:

Inspection and Assessment

The first step our fence repair technicians will take is a thorough inspection of your entire fence line. We’ll look at each section and component of the fence to locate any issues that need addressed. This allows us to see what is currently damaged as well as identify any weak spots that may become problematic down the road.

During the inspection, we assess the overall condition and functionality of the fence. We determine what needs repaired versus fully replaced. Our goal is to keep your repair costs low by only replacing pieces that cannot be salvaged.

Consultation

Next, we will provide a detailed consultation to discuss our findings and recommended repairs. This is your chance to point out any problem areas we may have missed and ask any questions.

We will outline which sections, posts, and hardware we will need to repair or replace. We’ll go over types of materials, colors, and hardware. Our fence experts will explain every detail of the project so you know exactly what to expect.

Preparing the Work Area

Before starting the actual repair work, we’ll make sure to properly prepare the area around your fence. This involves clearing at least a 3 ft perimeter on each side and marking underground utilities.

Proper prep work keeps our crew safe, protects your lawn and landscaping, and provides sufficient room for materials and tools needed to complete the job. We take steps to prevent damage throughout the duration of the project.

Replacing Pickets, Boards, Posts, and Rails

The repair work begins by replacing any fence pickets, boards, posts and rails that are too damaged to salvage. We remove the broken components and debris to prepare for the new pieces.

For wood fences, we only replace the necessary pickets or boards with matching wood to keep a cohesive look. For chain link, we mend holes in the mesh using metal zip ties or vinyl patches. Metal post caps and rails are swapped out as needed.

Rotted wood posts get replaced with pressure-treated posts set in concrete footings. We properly space and align posts and install new rails across for stability.

Reinforcing Weak Sections

Sections of your fence that are leaning, loose or wobbly will get reinforced as part of the repair. We inspect for loose hardware, detachments, weak or shifting posts, and soil issues causing the problems.

Once we determine the cause, we’ll shore up weak spots using various methods. This may include re-securing loose pickets or railings, resetting shifted posts, tamping soil around posts, or adding bracing or fence post anchors.

Repairing Gates and Hardware

Another key part of fence repair is fixing any issues with gates and hardware. We’ll tighten loose hinges, replace broken latches, adjust sagging gates, and ensure gates open/close smoothly and securely.

Repairing or replacing hardware components like gate hinges, latch assemblies, guide rollers, and closer mechanisms are often quick fixes that make a big difference in how well your gates function.

Structural Reinforcements

For fences needing more significant structural repairs, we use advanced techniques to reinforce and permanently stabilize damaged sections:

• Sistering – Adding a duplicate post next to a rotting post for support.
• Post bracing – Installing galvanized metal or wood bracing between posts for added strength.
• Panel bracing – Attaching bracing across picket panels to prevent future sagging/bowing.
• Fence post anchors – Helical anchors wound into the ground provide anchoring support and prevent future shifting/leaning.

Clean-Up and Haul Away

Once the fence repairs are complete, we’ll do a final inspection before cleaning up the entire area. We haul away all old materials and debris, leaving your property looking neat and tidy again.
