Fence Repair & Replacement

Storm damage, leaning posts and rotted boards — repaired or replaced. in McAllen and across the Rio Grande Valley.

Most fences do not fail all at once. A couple of posts go soft at ground level, the line starts to lean, and then one storm finishes what four years of humidity started. Caught early it is a repair. Caught late it is a rebuild.

We will tell you which one you are looking at, including when the answer is the cheaper one. There is no sense selling somebody a whole fence when six posts and a dozen boards would give them another decade.

What's included

Rot in the Valley almost always starts at the same place: the few inches of post right at the soil line, where it is wet, warm and airless. The top of the post can look perfect while the bottom has gone. That is why we push on posts rather than looking at them.

Storm damage is different — it is sudden, and often the boards are fine while the posts have snapped or pulled. Salvaging the good material is usually worth doing, and we will separate what can be reused from what cannot before pricing the job.

How we work

Push every post

The only way to find rot at the soil line is by hand. Looking at it tells you nothing.

Repair or replace

You get a straight answer and both prices, so the choice is yours and not ours.

Match what is there

New boards chosen to sit with the weathered ones rather than shout at them.

Straighten the line

A repair that leaves the fence still wandering is not finished.

Fence Repair & Replacement by city

Every part of the Valley has its own soil, its own wind and its own kind of house.

Common questions

Can you replace just a few posts?
Yes, and it is often the right call. Individual posts can be pulled and reset without dismantling the runs either side of them.
Will the new boards match?
Not on day one — new wood is always lighter. It closes up over a season, and staining the whole fence afterwards evens it out completely if that matters to you.
My fence blew over in a storm. Is it a rebuild?
Not necessarily. Wind usually takes the posts rather than the boards, so there is often a lot of reusable material lying in the yard. We will tell you what is salvageable before quoting.
