Posts & support
We assess leaning, loose, or damaged posts and the surrounding fence before deciding what needs to be reset or replaced.
Fence Repair
A damaged fence doesn’t always need replacing.
Leaning posts, broken boards, storm-damaged sections, and everyday wear. Let’s look at what can be fixed before you commit to a whole new fence.

Fence Repair with DJ Fence & Gate
Start with the problem. Not a sales pitch.
A few damaged boards and a failing line of posts are different problems. We look at the affected section, the supports around it, and how the fence is being used before recommending a repair or replacement.
DJ Fence & Gate repairs wood, vinyl, aluminum, ornamental steel, and chain-link fences for homeowners and commercial properties. A smaller job is still worth doing right. Tell us what changed, where the damage is, and whether you need to restore privacy, close a gap, or get a gate working again.
If the rest of the fence is sound, a targeted repair may be the practical choice. If the trouble extends beyond the visible damage, we’ll explain that too. The goal is a clear scope that addresses the problem, not a patch you don’t understand.
The details that matter
What we can help with.
Boards, panels & fabric
Broken pickets, damaged panels, and chain-link sections can be evaluated separately from the rest of the fence.
Storm & impact damage
Show us the full affected area, including damage near the posts and gate. Keep people and pets away from unstable sections.
Commercial repairs
We discuss damaged perimeter sections, access concerns, and how the repair can fit around the way your property operates.

Start with the look you like, then compare privacy, access, care and the needs of your property.
Cap-and-trim privacy
A continuous top cap and trim give this wood privacy fence a finished edge. Compare board spacing and the appearance of both faces before settling on the detail.
Dog ear privacy
This rear view shows the rails and posts behind a vertical-board privacy fence. Discuss which face will show from your property and how the line will meet changes in grade.
Spaced pickets with a walk gate
Open spacing lets light and views through the fence. Match the gate's picket pattern and review the openings around pets, children and everyday access.
Arched-top wood
A curved upper profile adds a decorative rhythm between posts. Confirm the height at the peaks and low points, the board spacing and the matching gate treatment.
A closer look
Details worth discussing before work begins.
Pressure-treated pine, cedar and the supporting frame
Ask us to compare pressure-treated pine and cedar for the selected design and current availability. The estimate should identify the lumber, boards, rails and posts rather than describe everything simply as a wood fence. Steel-post options can also be discussed when you want a wood appearance with a different support system.
Pickets create the visible face, rails carry the boards between posts, and posts support the run. A decorative cap or trim board changes the finish, but it is not a substitute for a properly planned structure. Gate posts and gate frames deserve separate attention because they carry moving loads.
Privacy, airflow and both sides of the fence
Stockade and board-on-board are useful starting points for backyard privacy. Shadowbox, spaced horizontal and picket styles have more open sightlines. Stand where you actually use the patio or yard and consider the view from an angle, not just straight on.
For a shared boundary, discuss which face will be visible from each property and what local or private design rules require. A photo can help communicate the look, but the written scope should settle board orientation, spacing, cap detail and gate treatment.
Slopes, drainage and gates
A fence can be laid out to step with changes in level or follow a grade where the selected construction permits. Neither approach is right for every yard. Review the bottom clearance, corners, retaining features and gate locations before deciding on the layout.
A gate placed on a slope may need a different swing direction or opening arrangement. Include mower width, deliveries, bins and future landscape access in that discussion. Keep drainage routes in view rather than using boards to block an unresolved runoff problem.

A clear way forward
From your first question to a defined scope.
Send the bigger picture
A close-up helps, but a photo of the full fence line gives useful context. You can text photos to our main number.
Tell us what happened
A recent storm, a vehicle strike, or a fence that has slowly started leaning may call for different work.
Review the repair scope
We’ll discuss the affected parts, material matching, access, and any existing components that will remain.
Know what is covered
Repair workmanship is generally covered for one year. Existing materials and components are not covered by our workmanship warranty.
We stand behind our work
A repair warranty that fits the work.
Repairs and work involving existing fences generally carry one year of workmanship coverage, unless otherwise stated in writing. Existing components are not covered.
Before we get started
A few good questions.
Can you repair only one section?
Yes. We can evaluate an individual section, post, or panel. Whether a targeted repair makes sense depends on the condition of the surrounding fence.
Can you match my existing fence?
We’ll look at the material, dimensions, and style. Exact matching may be limited by availability or the age and weathering of the existing fence, so we’ll discuss the options before work begins.
Do you take small repair jobs?
Yes. Fence and gate repairs are a core part of our business. Send the location and a few details about what needs attention.
Does a repair get the lifetime warranty?
No. Repairs and work involving existing fences generally carry one year of workmanship coverage unless otherwise stated in writing. The limited lifetime warranty applies to qualifying complete new residential installations.
Is shadowbox completely private?
Not from every angle. Alternating boards create partial screening while leaving openings. Compare it with stockade or overlapping board-on-board if blocking sightlines is your main goal.
Can I choose steel posts behind a wood fence?
Ask about a compatible steel-post option for your chosen layout. Availability, post details, gate supports and any finish requirements should be included in the proposal.
