Fence Repair in Longmont, CO
Fences don’t last forever and in Longmont’s wind and weather, they can take a beating. Maybe you’ve got sagging panels after a summer storm, loose boards, or a gate that won’t close right. It’s frustrating, and we get it. We’re a local Longmont fence company crew, and we’ve seen every problem under the sun (and snow). We’ll fix yours, so you can get back to enjoying your yard, worry-free.
Why Fence Repair Matters
Ignoring a broken fence? That’s usually a bad idea. A single loose board can let kids or pets escape, and weak spots let your yard invade (or be invaded by wildlife). Here are common reasons Longmont homeowners call us:
- Rotten or Broken Boards: Wood fences often suffer after years of sun and occasional hail. Replace a few rotted pickets now and keep the rest strong.
- Leaning Posts: If a post splinters or loses its concrete footing (often from shifting soil after freeze-thaw cycles), whole sections sag. Straightening posts can save your fence.
- Hail and Wind Damage: Summer hailstorms or fall windstorms can crack rails or panels. We’ve patched up fences after big storms – often just a few new boards or rails do the trick.
- Animal or Accident Damage: Deer crashes, canine digging, or a rogue wheelbarrow strike – it happens. We’ll replace the damaged parts so your fence looks whole again.
Repairing fences quickly prevents small issues from becoming big (and expensive) ones. In our experience, Longmont fences that aren’t fixed promptly tend to collapse or allow privacy to disappear. So call us before it’s a full-blown fence failure!
Our Fence Repair Services
We fix all kinds of fences across Longmont and Boulder County: wood, vinyl, chain link, metal. Here’s how we help:
Board Replacement
Got a few rotten or broken boards? We’ll match them (often with treated cedar or matching vinyl) and swap out only the bad ones. Your neighbors won’t know the difference.
Panel & Section Repair
If a whole section collapsed, we can rebuild just that part. We install new framing where needed and reattach rails.
Post Reset & Replacement
We’ve straightened up many leaning posts here. If a post is beyond saving (like major rot), we’ll dig it out and set a new one in concrete.
Gate Repair
Gates are particularly prone to sag and hinge issues. We realign gates, replace hinges or latches, and ensure they swing true again.
Entire Fence Restoration
Sometimes it’s best to refresh an old fence. We can re-stain or paint wood fences to protect them (UV sealant against Longmont’s sun) and reinforce weak spots.
Whatever the issue, either it is new fence installation or fence repair, our local crews handle it. One client in Prospect Park told us, “Our yard was half-open after the windstorm – they came out and had it rebuilt by evening. Very quick and sturdy!” We use quality materials (pressure-treated lumber, rust-resistant hardware, UV-rated stains) so repairs last.
Our Repair Process
Inspection
First, we’ll look at your fence or any damaged piece. Often, a quick evaluation (sometimes even via video photos) can tell us what’s wrong and what parts are needed.
Estimate
We give you a straightforward quote – no fluff. Minor fixes (like a few boards) often run in the low hundreds, whereas bigger jobs (like multiple sections or gate rebuilds) might be in the $500–$1500+ range, depending on materials. We quote ranges to keep it realistic.
Scheduling
We work around your schedule. Many small repairs can be done within a day or two. (In most cases, you’ll see major improvement in under 48 hours once we get started.)
Repair Work
Our team arrives on time, drills out old nails, and carefully replaces or reinforces what’s needed. For example, if we’re fixing a wooden fence, we’ll swap in treated boards and seal the cut edges. If it’s a vinyl fence panel, we’ll slide in a new one with the same color. We secure everything tightly – loose or missing screws get replaced too.
Cleanup & Check
We wrap up by cleaning any debris (no stray nails left) and walking the fence with you. We make sure gates latch, rails are straight, and you’re happy.
By the way, about permits: Longmont usually doesn’t require a permit for simple repairs. However, if we’re resetting posts and significantly altering the fence line, we’ll check if any permit is needed and handle it. (For normal fixes, it’s typically all clear.)
Local Expertise & Quality
We aren’t some random crew—we’re your neighbors. We’ve repaired fences in Old Town, Fairview, near Roosevelt Park, and all around Longmont. We know, for instance, that the north side of town can get a bit more wind, so we make sure posts there are extra solid. We also watch out for local soil conditions: some yards have rocky clay, which we account for when digging out old posts.
Why trust us? We’re fully licensed and insured in Colorado, with 10+ years of experience repairing fences in Boulder County. Our customers appreciate our honest service. One satisfied homeowner commented, “They showed up when promised, fixed everything perfectly, and even stood by their work a month later.” We think that’s how it should be.
We also recommend routine check-ups: after all, it can save you money. A neighbor of ours learned that replacing two broken pickets early saved him from needing to redo his whole fence two years later. Small fixes early can avoid major expenses down the road.
When to Repair vs Replace
Sometimes repair is best, and sometimes a full replacement makes sense. If only a few panels or posts are broken, repair is usually cheaper. But if your fence is very old or has widespread rot, replacement might be wiser in the long run. Here’s a quick rule of thumb:
- Repair it if damage is limited (a section fallen over, a few posts leaning, a broken gate). We’ll patch it up, and it’ll look new again.
- Replace it if most of the boards are rotten or you need an upgrade. Often after a fence has reached 15–20 years, weather has taken its toll. In that case, we’ll tell you honestly if replacement would serve you better.
We never push a full replacement unless it truly makes sense. In fact, homeowners often ask if they can just repair again – and we support that. Our job is to give you the best solution, not sell you something unnecessary.
Why Choose Us?
In a nutshell: we fix it right. You’ll get local experts who care about doing a great job. Our customers often tell us, “It’s like the fence is brand new” after we’re done. We only use the right parts (pressure-treated wood, rust-resistant fasteners), and we double-check everything. If any issue persists, we’ll come back out and make it right.

Cost Considerations
Fence repair costs vary by job size. To give you an idea (based on local data and experience):
- Minor Repairs ($200–$600): Fixing a few boards, tightening screws, or realigning a couple of posts.
- Moderate Repairs ($600–$1,500): Replacing multiple panels or a small section and reset a handful of posts.
- Major Repairs ($1,500+): Extensive fixes like a full side of fence, a large gate, or post-by-post restoration of a long run.
These are ballpark ranges and depend on factors like materials (cedar vs pine), fence height, and how accessible the work area is. We’ll give you a clear estimate first. One nice thing: sometimes neighbors team up and get multiple fences fixed at once, which can save each household time and money.
