Wind and Hail Damage
West Texas storms knock sections loose, break pickets, and push fences out of line. We repair the damage so your fence stands straight and solid again.
Fence Repair in Lubbock, TX
Hudson Fence Company repairs storm-damaged, leaning, and worn-out fences across Lubbock and the South Plains. We're set up for bigger repairs, like wind and hail damage, failed posts, and damaged gates, and every post we set is steel.
Our Fence Repair Minimum: $750
Let's get this out of the way up front. Our minimum charge for a fence repair is $750. We're set up for larger repairs: storm damage, leaning sections, failed posts, and gates.
Small fixes, like replacing a handful of pickets, usually come in under that minimum, and a handyman is the better call for those. Not sure which side of the line your repair falls on? Call us at (806) 583-3623 and describe the damage. We'll tell you straight.
Fence Repairs We Handle
These are the repairs we see most around Lubbock. If your fence needs more than a repair, we'll tell you that too.
Leaning Fences and Rotted Posts
A leaning fence almost always means the posts have failed at the ground line. We replace failed posts with galvanized steel, so that section won't rot and lean again.
Gate Repair
Gates take more abuse than any other part of a fence. We fix gates that sag, drag, or won't latch, and we can rebuild them on a steel frame that stays square.
Fence Replacement
When a fence is past saving, patching it isn't worth your money. We tear it out and rebuild it on steel posts.
Every Post We Set Is Steel
Most fences don't fail at the pickets. They fail at the posts, right at the ground line where wood stays damp and rots.
No Wood Posts, Even on Repairs
We don't set wood posts. When we replace a post, it goes back in as galvanized steel, so the repaired section won't rot at the ground line and start leaning again.
Driven 4 ft Deep or Set 3 ft in Concrete
Steel posts go in one of two ways: driven 4 ft into the ground, or set 3 ft deep in concrete. We'll recommend the right method for your property when we come out.
Steel Gate Frames
Wood-framed gates sag over time. When a gate needs rebuilding, a steel frame keeps it square and swinging smoothly.
More on this in our post on steel vs. wood fence posts.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Fence?
Repair It When...
The damage is limited to a few sections or a gate, and the posts along the rest of the fence are solid. A good repair gets you years more out of the fence you already have.
Replace It When...
The posts are failing along the whole fence line. If the fence leans in several places, or the wood at the base of the posts is soft all the way down, patching one section just moves the problem to the next one.
Not Sure?
That's what the estimate is for. We'll look at the posts, rails, pickets, and gates, and tell you whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense for your fence.
What Affects the Cost of a Fence Repair?
Every repair is different, so we don't publish a price list. Repairs start at our $750 minimum, and we'll look at the damage and give you a detailed written proposal, free. The biggest factors in repair cost are:
- How many sections, posts, and gates are damaged
- Whether failed posts need to be replaced with steel
- Fence height and style
- Tearing out damaged sections
- Site access, slopes, and obstacles along the fence line
Fence Repair FAQs
Do you have a minimum charge for fence repairs?
Yes. Our minimum charge for a fence repair is $750. We're set up for larger repairs, like storm damage, leaning sections, failed posts, and gates.
Can you replace a few broken pickets?
Usually not. A handful of pickets typically comes in under our $750 minimum. For small fixes like that, a handyman is usually the better call.
Do you repair storm-damaged fences in Lubbock?
Yes. We repair wind and hail damage across Lubbock and the South Plains, from sections that have been knocked loose to fences that have been pushed out of line.
Can you fix a leaning fence?
Usually, yes. A lean almost always means the posts have failed at the ground line. If a few posts are bad, we replace them with galvanized steel. If the posts are failing along the whole fence, rebuilding it on steel posts is the better investment.
Do you repair fence gates?
Yes. We fix gates that sag, drag, or won't latch, and we can upgrade them to steel frames that stay square.
Do you use wood posts for repairs?
No. We don't set wood posts. Any post we replace goes back in as galvanized steel.
Should I repair or replace my fence?
Repair it if the damage is limited to a few sections or a gate and the rest of the posts are solid. Replace it if the posts are failing along the whole fence line. We'll look at your fence and tell you which one makes more sense.
Do you give free estimates on fence repairs?
Yes. We'll come look at the damage and give you a written proposal at no charge.
