Honest Call

Repair it, or replace it?

We'd rather fix a fence than sell you a new one when a fix will hold. Here's the rule of thumb we use on-site.

Repair makes sense when…

Isolated damage
  • One or two posts are leaning and the rest of the line is plumb
  • A handful of boards, pickets, or one panel is damaged
  • A gate has dropped, drags, or won't latch
  • Storm damage hit one section, not the whole run
  • Rust or wear is surface-level and the frame is sound

Replacement is smarter when…

Widespread failure
  • Roughly a quarter to a third of the fence or more is failing
  • Posts are rotting at ground level along most of the line
  • Insect damage has spread through multiple sections
  • Repair estimates are approaching the cost of a new fence
  • You want a different height, material, or layout anyway

Fence Repair FAQs

The questions Lexington property owners ask.

Fence repair cost depends on the material, how many sections or posts are affected, and whether the damage is cosmetic or structural. Small fixes — a loose picket, a sagging gate latch, a single replaced board — sit at the low end, while resetting several posts in concrete or replacing multiple panels costs more. We provide a free on-site inspection and a firm written repair quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
As a rule of thumb, repair when the damage is isolated — one or two leaning posts, a few rotted boards, a bent chain link section, a gate that has dropped. Consider replacement when more than roughly a quarter to a third of the fence is failing, when posts are rotting at ground level along most of the run, or when repair costs approach the price of a new fence. Our inspection tells you honestly which side of that line your fence is on — see the repair-or-replace guide above.
Often, yes. If the post itself is sound, we can dig it out, plumb it, and reset it in fresh concrete below the frost line. If the post has rotted or snapped at the base — the most common failure on older wood fences in Kentucky — it gets replaced with a new treated post set properly, and the existing panels are reattached.
Yes. We repair wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, Trex composite, and farm fencing regardless of who originally installed it, and we match existing materials and styles as closely as possible so the repaired section blends in.
Yes. Wind, fallen limbs, and saturated ground take down a lot of Central Kentucky fences every year. We assess the damage, provide a written estimate you can submit to your insurance carrier if needed, and get the fence secure again — livestock and pet containment repairs are prioritized.
Most residential repairs — replacing boards or panels, resetting a few posts, fixing a gate — are completed in a single visit. Larger repairs involving many posts, long runs of wire, or material that has to be ordered may take a few days. We give you a timeline with the written quote.
Yes. Chafin Fence stands behind every repair with a workmanship guarantee, and we are a licensed, insured, BBB Accredited Business. If the work we did fails, we come back and make it right.
