Fence Repair in the Lowcountry

If the posts snapped or the concrete footings heaved, those sections need new posts; if the panels just racked, they can often be reset. We repair section by section, there is rarely a reason to replace a whole fence because one run failed.

Yes, picket and rail swaps are routine, new pressure treated boards will look lighter than your weathered fence for a season before blending in. If more than about a third of a section is soft, replacing that section outright is usually cheaper than piecework.

Trapped moisture where wood meets concrete and soil, the classic Lowcountry failure, especially on posts set before newer treatment standards. We replace with properly rated ground contact posts and slope the concrete crowns so water sheds away from the wood.

Almost always, gates sag because hinges loosen, posts shift, or the frame racks, and the fix is usually new hardware, a tension kit, or resetting the hinge post. A dragging gate is a service visit, not a construction project.

Most policies cover fence damage from wind and falling trees under other structures coverage, typically at 10 percent of your dwelling limit, minus your deductible. We document the damage with photos and provide the itemized estimate your adjuster needs.
