Fence Repair Athens, GA

Initial Fencing Inspection

The first step our professional fencing contractors take is a thorough inspection of the fence to assess and document the location, extent and type of damage. We examine materials, structure, gate function and surrounding landscape for anything that could impact the repair project.

Compiling this information allows us to provide homeowners and business owners an accurate repair quote with no unpleasant surprises down the road.

Planning the Fence Restoration Work

With a solid understanding of the current state of your fence, we strategize the best approach to remedy the issues whether minor or major. This may involve replacing select pickets, posts, rails and hardware or taking down and rebuilding entire sections depending on needs and budget.

We determine required materials and tools plus project duration to cause minimal disruption. Our fence experts may also recommend preventative maintenance to stop future deterioration.

Preparing the Repair Site

To begin fence repairs, our crews take steps to protect the surrounding property. This includes establishing a safe perimeter around the work site and putting down drop cloths or tarps to prevent stray materials, nails, soil, etc.

From damaging lawn, garden beds, pavement or exterior walls on the property. We also disconnect/store any utilities like electric lines crossing the fence.

Material Removal and Replacement

We now remove irreparable fencing components with care to preserve undamaged sections for continued use. Rotten posts get extracted and holes filled.

Broken boards get pried off while still sturdy planks are set aside to reinstall. Bent/rusted sections of chain link, twisted panels of vinyl and dented aluminum lengths come down next. Crews discard unsalvageable materials according to local guidelines.

Installation of New Fencing Materials

With the site cleared, it’s time to rebuild stronger and better than before! Our skilled fencing contractors reconstitute the structure one component at a time. New posts go in securing the perimeter. Fresh framing and panels follow spanning previous configurations.

We integrate operable gates making sure they swing freely without dragging. Pickets, slats, lattice and other decorative infill attach next to recreate the original aesthetic.

Connecting and Reinforcing Components

As the fence takes shape, crews focus on stability by fortifying joins using galvanized fasteners, sturdy brackets and seals/adhesives per manufacturer specifications. Proper connecting prevents future loosening or detachment issues under strain.

For longevity, we coat unfinished wood with protective stains or paint prior to installing. Our fence builders also remove obstructions interfering with operation and inject concrete stabilizers around posts for rigid anchoring.

Installation of New Fencing Materials

The excitement builds as crews put the finishing touches on revamped, restrengthened fencing that looks and functions like new. We ensure all remnants from the work project get cleared – tools, unused materials, protective sheeting, debris etc.

A final walkthrough confirms the renewed fence matches the original footprint without gaps or protrusions. Operable gates open and close with ease. We double check connections then review maintenance needs with the home or business owner.

Optional Enhancements

Depending on needs and preferences, we’re happy to include fence repair upgrades like decorative post caps, finials, solar lights, lattice panels and rot-proof composite materials for a custom look and added longevity.

Just ask! We’re also available for future fencing inspections, upkeep and additional enhancements down the road.
