Leaning fence?
We fix it.

Repair when it makes sense.

Not every tired fence needs to come down. A lot of the calls we get in Bellingham are one or two leaning posts, a section of rotted boards, or a gate that's dragging on the ground. We reset posts the right way (in concrete with gravel drainage), swap the boards and rails that have gone soft, and rehang gates so they swing clean and latch true. When a run is mostly sound, a targeted repair saves you a full replacement.

When a fence is past its life (posts rotted at the base across the whole run, rails sagging, boards graying and cupping), patching it is throwing money away, and we'll tell you that straight. Storm damage and post rot are the two things we see most out here, and both are usually fixable fast. We'll walk the fence with you and give you an honest call on repair versus replacement.

What it actually costs.

Our four-step process.

1. Free walkthrough & honest call

   We walk the fence with you, check the posts and rails, and tell you honestly whether it's a repair or a replacement, with a line-item quote.

2. Reset posts & framing

   We pull and reset leaning posts in concrete with gravel drainage, and replace any rails that have gone soft.

3. Boards & gates

   We swap rotted or broken boards, match them to the existing run where we can, and rehang or rebuild sagging gates.

4. Walkthrough

   We check the run is straight and the gates swing clean, then clean up and haul off the old material.

Frequently asked questions.

How much does fence repair cost in Bellingham?

Fence repair in Bellingham runs $400 to $6,000 depending on how much of the run is involved. Resetting a leaning post or swapping a few boards is at the low end. Replacing a long stretch of rotted posts and rails costs more. We give you a free, honest quote either way.

Can you fix just a leaning section?

Yes. If most of the run is sound, we reset the leaning posts and replace the soft boards without touching the rest. That's a much cheaper fix than a full replacement, and it's the right call when the fence is mostly in good shape.

Do you handle storm-damaged fences?

We do, and it's a lot of what we fix here. Wind and our wet winters knock posts loose and break sections. We can usually turn a storm repair around fast so your yard is secure again, and we'll match the new material to your existing fence where we can.
