When Do I Need to Repair My Fence?

Is your fence causing an eyesore on your curb appeal?  Are you struggling to maintain your fence?  If your fence is showing signs of wear and tear, curving in certain areas, or falling down due to age or damage, it is likely time for repairs.  Our fencing contractors in Sanford can perform fence inspections and repairs necessary to keep your fence in the best shape possible.  There are three common signs that show it is likely time for you to get your fence repaired and restored by a professional.

You Spy Broken or Damaged Boards

When the boards of your fence are showing signs of damage due to weather exposure, you will want to consider replacing those boards.  Also, broken boards will need replaced in order to keep the integrity and safety of your overall fence.  When boards are damaged or broken, they will likely not have the same strength and durability, making them susceptible to letting things pass in and out of your fence.  If the damage is widespread, you'll want to call a fence repair company to inspect the cause of the issue.

Your Fence is Leaning

If you notice that your fence is beginning to lean to one side or sag in certain places, your fence is likely past its lifespan.  Fence posts that are leaning can actually start to create larger problems if left alone for too long.  Sometimes, this issue can be fixed by replacing or reinforcing a few of the posts nearby, but this often times will require a larger fence repair.  If you notice this issue throughout your fence, this indicates that your wood is worn out.  This may require a new fence to be installed before the issue continues to worsen and your fence gives out entirely.

You Notice Insect Damage

When it comes to wood fences, you have to take precautions to prevent insects from making their way onto the wood and causing damage.  Insects can deplete the quality of your wood if you do not take preventative measures.  Insect damage can be spotted by looking for tiny holes, gnawing, or bores in your fence.  This indicates that insects have also made your fence home, and they will continue to destroy it if you do not perform immediate fence repairs.   Removing the insects, or removing the boards with the insect infestation, will help to remedy this issue and will help restore your fence.  

These are three common issues that show your fence is ready for repair and restoration.  Our team of fencing professionals will come out to your home to enhance the appearance the restore the function of your fence.  Trust our fencing contractors in Sanford to repair your fence today.  Contact us to schedule an appointment with our fencing experts.
