Every fence eventually needs attention. Wind loosens boards. Posts rot at ground level. Gates sag and refuse to latch. What starts as minor damage becomes a bigger problem if ignored, and before long a small repair turns into a major project.

The good news is that many fence problems can be fixed without replacing the entire structure. Targeted repairs restore function and appearance at a fraction of replacement cost. The key is addressing issues before they spread.

Fence Bee provides repair services throughout Tulsa for wood, iron, chain link, and other fence types. We assess the damage honestly, explain your options, and fix what needs fixing without overselling unnecessary work. Sometimes repair makes sense; sometimes replacement is the smarter investment. We help you understand which applies to your situation.

What's Included

Our fence repair service begins with an assessment and ends with functional, good-looking results. Here is what you can expect:

  • On-site inspection to evaluate damage and identify underlying causes
  • Honest assessment of repair versus replacement options
  • Written estimate detailing the work and costs
  • Material matching to blend repairs with existing fence where possible
  • Board replacement for rotted, broken, or damaged pickets
  • Post repair or replacement including concrete work where needed
  • Rail reattachment or replacement
  • Gate adjustment or rebuilding to restore proper operation
  • Hardware replacement as needed
  • Cleanup and debris removal

We focus on fixing the problem, not just masking symptoms. If a post is failing, we address the post rather than just replacing the boards attached to it.

Options and Materials

Repair materials and methods depend on your fence type and the nature of the damage. Common repair categories include:

Board Replacement

Individual pickets or panels that are rotted, cracked, or broken can often be replaced while leaving the rest of the fence intact. We source matching lumber where possible to maintain consistent appearance.

Post Repair

Posts that rot at ground level or lean due to soil movement can sometimes be reinforced rather than fully replaced. Post repair brackets and sister posts extend the life of fences when full replacement is not yet necessary.

Post Replacement

When post rot or damage is too severe for repair, we remove the failed post, set a new one in concrete, and reattach rails and pickets. This is more involved than simple repairs but often saves the surrounding fence.

Gate Repair

Sagging gates, broken hinges, and failed latches are common issues. Often the fix involves adjusting hardware, reinforcing the gate frame, or resetting the gate post. Badly damaged gates may need rebuilding.

Storm Damage

Oklahoma storms can knock down sections of fence quickly. Storm damage repair ranges from resetting fallen panels to replacing destroyed sections. We prioritize getting damaged fences functional quickly.

During assessment, we explain exactly what the damage involves and which repair approach makes sense for your situation.

The FenceBee Process

We make fence repair straightforward and stress-free.

  1. 1

    Damage Assessment

    We visit your property to examine the damage firsthand. We look for visible problems and check for underlying issues that might not be obvious, like post rot below ground level.

  2. 2

    Repair Plan and Estimate

    Based on our assessment, we outline what needs to be fixed and provide a written quote. We explain the priority of different repairs and help you understand options.

  3. 3

    Scheduling

    Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work. Urgent repairs like storm damage get priority when safety or security is at risk.

  4. 4

    Repair Work

    Our crew arrives with materials and tools to complete the repairs. Simple fixes may take hours; more extensive repairs take a day or more.

  5. 5

    Quality Check

    We verify that repairs are solid, gates operate properly, and the fence is secure. We point out any additional issues we noticed that you may want to address in the future.

Timelines and Scheduling

Repair timelines depend on damage extent and material availability. Simple repairs like replacing a few boards or adjusting a gate often complete the same day we start. Post replacements typically take a day since concrete needs time to cure before the fence can bear normal loads.

Storm damage repairs during busy periods may require scheduling, but we prioritize urgent situations. If your fence is down and security is compromised, we work to address it quickly.

We stock common lumber and hardware, which allows us to complete most standard repairs promptly. Custom or unusual materials may require ordering, which adds time.

Pricing Factors

Fence repair costs depend on what specifically needs fixing. Factors include:

  • Type of repair: board replacement is simpler than post replacement
  • Number of damaged sections: more damage means more materials and labor
  • Post work: replacing posts involves digging, concrete, and curing time
  • Gate repairs: may involve hardware, framing, and adjustment
  • Material matching: older or unusual lumber may cost more to source
  • Access difficulty: hard-to-reach areas increase labor time
  • Urgency: emergency or rush repairs may carry premium rates

We provide accurate estimates after seeing the damage. Repair costs are often much lower than replacement, making timely repairs a smart investment.

Tulsa-Specific Considerations

Tulsa conditions cause predictable fence problems. Hot summers and wet springs accelerate wood rot, especially at ground level where posts contact soil. Oklahoma wind tests every fence; weak points fail during storms.

Clay soil common in the Tulsa area expands when wet and shrinks when dry. This movement stresses fence posts and can cause leaning or failure over time. Repair work must account for soil conditions to prevent recurring problems.

Storm damage is seasonal but inevitable. After major weather events, repair demand spikes and scheduling becomes challenging. Minor damage addressed promptly prevents water infiltration that leads to rot.

We understand Tulsa fence issues because we work on them year-round. Our repair methods reflect local conditions and deliver lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need repair or replacement?

Generally, if damage affects less than a third of the fence and core structure is sound, repair makes sense. If posts are failing throughout, boards are rotted extensively, or the fence is simply old and worn, replacement may be more cost-effective. We provide honest guidance based on your specific situation.

Can you match my existing fence boards?

We try to source matching materials whenever possible. For common fence types, matching is usually straightforward. Older, weathered fences may show some contrast between new and old boards initially, but the difference fades as new wood weathers.

Will repair boards look different from the rest of the fence?

New wood is typically lighter than weathered wood. Over time, exposure to weather will help new boards blend with old ones. Staining the entire fence or just the new sections can speed up visual matching.

My fence blew down in a storm. Can you fix it quickly?

We prioritize storm damage when security is at risk. Contact us as soon as possible after the storm. Depending on demand and damage severity, we work to get your fence functional within days.

How long will the repair last?

Quality repairs using proper materials and methods last for years. We address underlying causes of damage, not just surface symptoms, which prevents problems from recurring.
