What usually breaks
These are the fence problems we see around San Jose and the South Bay.
Bent pickets
Someone backed into it, a branch came down, or years of leaning pulled pickets out of line. We straighten them, re-weld, or swap individual pickets to match the rest of the run.
Failed welds
Cracks where the rail meets the post, where a gate hangs off the fence, or along a long run that flexes in the wind. We grind it out, re-weld, and touch up the finish.
Rust and storm damage
Rust at the bottom of posts, chipped powder coat, sections knocked loose by wind or debris. Surface rust we can treat. If the steel is gone, that piece needs replacing.
Sometimes the honest answer is a new fence
Not every fence is worth repairing, and we will tell you when yours is not.
If the posts are sound and the problem is a bent picket, a cracked weld, or rust in one section, repair is almost always the right call and it costs a fraction of starting over. If the posts have rusted through in several places, you can spend most of the price of a new fence chasing failures down the line and still end up replacing it in two years.
We will give you both numbers and let you decide. If it lands on the side of starting fresh, here is what we build — no pressure either way.
One thing worth knowing: fence that was spray painted rather than powder coated will keep coming back. That is not a sales line, it is why the rust is there.
How fence repair works
Three steps. No runaround.
Send photos
Snap a few photos of the damage, the full fence run, and the base of the posts. Your city and a short note about what happened helps.

We look at the photos and tell you if it's fixable and what it'll take. If we need to see it in person, we'll come out.
We fix it
We schedule the repair, re-weld connections, replace bent pickets or panels, treat rust, and touch up the finish where it needs it.
Fence repair questions
Can you fix one section without redoing the whole fence?
Most of the time, yes. If the rest of the run is solid, we fix individual sections, pickets, or posts.
Can you match my existing fence?
We match picket spacing, height, and scroll details on whatever we replace. Send photos of the good sections so we can see the pattern.
Do I need to be home for a photo quote?
No. Photos are enough for most jobs. If we can't tell from pictures, we'll schedule a visit.
Can you fix a fence someone else built?
Yes. Doesn't matter who built it — as long as there's enough steel left to weld to.
How fast can you come out?
We reply to photos within a business day. Scheduling depends on what's on the board — if a section is down and your yard's open, that goes first.
