That Lean Gets Worse After Every Freeze
Repair makes sense when the posts are sound or only a few have failed. If more than a third of the posts are gone, we'll show you the math on replacement.
Fence Repair That Matches What Still Stands
Same crews, same deep-set posts as new installs. We match wood, picket profile and stain as closely as the weather allows.
Post reset or replacement
Pull the failed post, dig to 42 inches, set a new treated 4x4 in crowned concrete, rehang panels plumb.
Section replacement
Replace rails, pickets or whole panels between existing posts, matched to the original profile.
Gates, hardware & stain
Rehang gates on adjustable hinges, replace latches and brackets, power-wash and stain the whole fence.

What to Ask Before You Repair or Replace
How much does fence repair cost in Des Moines?
Resetting a single post runs $150–$300; replacing a panel $200–$450; a typical storm repair of three to five sections is $800–$2,000. Minimum trip charge applies to very small jobs.
Repair or replace?
If posts are sound and damage is limited to boards and rails, repair. If a third or more of the posts have heaved or rotted, replacement is usually cheaper over ten years. We'll show you both numbers.
Can you match my old fence?
We match height, picket profile and spacing. New wood will look lighter for a season; staining the whole fence afterward blends it.
Do you repair chain link and vinyl?
Yes — re-stretching fabric, replacing top rail and fittings, swapping vinyl panels and pickets, and rehanging gates on all fence types.
Workmanship warranty
If a post we set heaves or a gate we hung sags, we come back and fix it. Materials carry the manufacturer's warranty on top.
Why not wait?
Every winter a leaning fence leans more. Lumber and labor don't get cheaper, and the dog isn't getting slower. Build it now and have the yard this season.
Wait Another Winter and You Rebuild More
Leaning posts pull neighboring panels out of line until whole sections need replacing
Rotted rails and pickets turn a cheap repair into a full rebuild
Shallow-set posts heave more every winter — the fix costs more each year you wait
A failing fence means escaped pets, disputes with neighbors, and a hit to your home's value
