We repair every kind of fence we install, including fences we didn't build. The most common calls in Kendall are leaning or snapped posts after a summer storm, rotted pickets at grade where sprinklers hit, sagging gates, and chain link mesh pulled loose from tension bands.
Repair beats replacement more often than most contractors will tell you. If the posts are plumb and the concrete is intact, replacing rails, pickets or panels can preserve the fence. If more than about a third of your posts are compromised, replacement is usually the better long-term choice — and we will say so plainly.
After named storms we run a repair-triage schedule: we prioritize pool barriers and dog enclosures first because those are safety issues, then perimeter privacy, then cosmetic damage. If your pool barrier is down, tell us when you call and we move you up the list.

Fence Repair questions
How fast can you repair my fence in Kendall?
We give most repair estimates within 48 hours and complete the majority of repairs within one week. Pool barrier and pet-containment failures get moved to the front of the schedule.
Is fence repair covered by homeowners insurance in Florida?
Fence damage from a named storm or a fallen tree is often covered, though many Florida policies apply a separate deductible or reduced limit to fences. We provide itemized, photo-documented estimates formatted for insurance adjusters.
Do I need a permit for a fence repair?
Small like-for-like repairs generally do not require a permit in Miami-Dade, but replacing a long run or changing height, material or location does. We tell you which category your job falls into before we start.
