Fence Repair & Replacement in Ocala
Florida weather is hard on fences. Between summer thunderstorms, hurricane season winds, humidity that rots untreated wood, and termites that work quietly below grade, almost every fence in Marion County eventually needs a repair. We handle everything from a single leaning post to a full section rebuilt after a storm — and when a fence is too far gone to patch, we'll tell you honestly and give you a replacement estimate instead of nickel-and-diming a repair that won't last.
Our crews work on wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fencing, so whatever material is already on your property, we can repair or replace it to match.
Common Repairs We Handle
- Leaning or rotted posts — reset in fresh concrete to proper depth
- Storm-damaged sections — rebuilt to match the surrounding fence
- Sagging or misaligned gates — re-hung, re-squared, or reinforced
- Termite and rot damage — inspected below grade, not just what's visible
- Broken hardware — hinges, latches, and gate operators repaired or replaced
Repair vs. Full Replacement
We'll always recommend whichever option actually saves you money over time. A quick rule of thumb: if the damage is isolated to a handful of posts or one section and the rest of the fence is sound, repair makes sense. If a large portion of the fence is aging, rotted, or storm-damaged, a full replacement — priced at $15 to $50 per linear foot depending on material — often costs less in the long run than a string of repeat repairs. Either way, you'll get a free written estimate before we start, not a fixed number quoted over the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on how much of the fence is affected and how old the rest of it is. If the damage is limited to a few posts or one section and the remaining fence is structurally sound, repair is almost always the more cost-effective route. If more than a third of the run is rotted, leaning, or storm-damaged, or the fence is already near the end of its lifespan, full replacement usually makes more financial sense than repeatedly patching an aging fence.
Yes. After hurricanes and severe summer storms we regularly pull out and rebuild only the damaged sections — snapped posts, blown-down panels, or a section that took a direct hit from a falling limb — while leaving the rest of the fence intact. We match board style, height, and spacing so the repaired section blends in with the existing fence.
Yes, this is one of the most common repair calls we get. A leaning post is usually the result of a cracked or undersized concrete footing, rot at the base, or termite damage below grade. We dig out the old footing, set a new post to proper depth in fresh concrete, and reattach the existing fence panels wherever they're still in good shape.
Look for posts that feel soft or spongy when you press a screwdriver into the wood near the ground line, visible sawdust-like frass near post bases, boards that sound hollow when tapped, and any section that leans even slightly without an obvious impact cause. Florida's humidity accelerates both rot and subterranean termite activity, so we always inspect below-grade wood during a repair estimate, not just what's visible above ground.
A small repair job — a few posts, a storm-damaged section, or gate hardware — often runs a few hundred to low thousands of dollars depending on scope, material, and access. A full replacement is priced per linear foot, generally $15 to $50 depending on material. We always walk the property first and give you a free written estimate rather than a phone-quoted number, since the real cost depends on what we find at the post bases.
In most cases, yes. We carry common board widths, vinyl panel profiles, aluminum picket spacing, and chain link gauges, and we'll match what's already on your property as closely as possible so a partial replacement doesn't look obviously patched. If your existing material has been discontinued, we'll show you the closest available match before starting work.
We prioritize storm-damage calls, especially anything involving a downed fence that's created a safety or pet-containment issue. In most cases we can get out for a free estimate within a few days, and straightforward repairs — a handful of posts or a single section — are often completed within a week once materials are confirmed. Widespread storm damage across Marion County can extend scheduling, so calling early helps.
That depends entirely on your homeowner's policy, and we're not insurance adjusters, so we can't advise on coverage. What we can do is provide a detailed written estimate with photos of the damage that you can submit directly to your insurance company as documentation for a claim.
Yes. Repair work is backed by a workmanship warranty covering the posts, hardware, and labor we install, and we'll spell out the exact terms in writing with your estimate. Material warranties (on vinyl, aluminum, or hardware) are separate and pass through from the manufacturer.
A sagging or misaligned gate is almost always an isolated repair — usually a stretched hinge, a settling gate post, or worn hardware — and doesn't require touching the rest of the fence. We can typically re-hang, re-square, or reinforce a gate frame in a single visit.
If your fence is structurally fine but you want a different look — swapping an old chain link perimeter for privacy fencing, or updating a dated picket style — that's a straightforward replacement project rather than a repair. Many homeowners bundle a style upgrade with normal end-of-life replacement timing to get more value out of the labor of tearing out the old fence.
Call us or submit the online form with a description or photo of the damage. We'll schedule a walk-through, assess whether repair or replacement makes more sense, and leave you with a written estimate — no pressure, no obligation.
