If you’re a seasoned do it yourselfer, you can probably mend the fence on your own but fair warning: Fence repairs tend to soak up a lot of time.

The first thing we’ll do when you call on us is send one of our craftsmen and estimators out to survey the damage.
Damage to fencing invariably falls into one of two categories: Either sections of the fence itself have become cracked, broken or are rotting, or one or more of your fence posts are damaged or rotting, which causes your fence to sag and sway precariously in places.
Depending on what your fence is made of and the extent of the damage, different privacy fence repair strategies on your Leesburg, VA might be more appropriate. If, for example, you’ve got a vinyl fence and some of the slats are cracked, bonding agents could be used to repair the damage. In cases of more severe damage, vinyl, being mass-produced, is usually easy to match, so replacing selected sections might be the best call.
If you’ve got a composite fence, you probably won’t see cracking or rot, but breaks can still occur, especially if your fence was hit by a falling tree or limb. In those cases, simply replacing the damaged bits is the best answer.
Wood is one of the most commonly used privacy fence materials and wood privacy fence repair in Leesburg, VA mostly takes the form of rot or broken slats, in which case, piecemeal replacement is almost always the right answer.
Where posts are concerned, you see much the same thing, but in the case of fence posts, the general rule of thumb is that if the post has suffered less than 30% damage, odds are that it can be repaired. More than that and replacement is your best bet.
The age of the fence and the extent of the damage also play a role in the equation. A very old fence, even if it’s made of vinyl, might be hard to precisely match because it’s simply not made anymore, and extensive damage might make it more cost-effective to simply tear the whole thing down and start over.
We won’t know the answers to any of those questions until we’ve had the opportunity to survey the damage for ourselves. Once we’ve completed our initial survey, whatever we find, we’ll give you a full report, our professional recommendation, and a free, no-obligation estimate, so you’ll know exactly what it will take to get your fence back to good working order.
If you decide you want to forego the repair work and simply replace it altogether, we’re more than happy to help with that too. In fact, because we’re a locally owned and operated company, we’ve got a lot more flexibility on that front than a big national chain. We don’t have to answer to a centralized corporate office, and because of that, we have a lot more options when it comes to giving you what you want.
The problem with national franchise outfits is that they have to sell whatever their corporate bosses tell them to. If you want something off the menu, most of the time, you can’t have it. We don’t work like that. You tell us what you wan, and we’ll make it our business to find it. In fact, if you like, we can even design and build a totally custom fence for you!
Understand though, that a custom fence project is a big undertaking. Before we begin the work, we’ll want to sit down with you and make sure we clearly understand your vision. The more details we can capture from you at the outset, the happier you’re going to be with what we ultimately build. Given that, it’s important that you have a very clear vision from the beginning.
If you know you want something custom but you’re struggling to see it in your mind’s eye, we recommend spending some time browsing the extensive collection of photos we keep elsewhere on our site.
Doing so will not only give you the opportunity to see the quality of the work our craftsmen are capable of, it will also give you plenty of great ideas for your own fencing project. Once you know how you want your custom fence to look, we’ll help you map out your vision, use it to create a detailed project plan and review it with you, giving it to you along with a free estimate so you’ll understand the scope and scale of the project.
Then, assuming you’re comfortable with that estimate, we’ll get to work! Before you know it, you’ll have your own little slice of secluded paradise, bounded by a beautiful, unique fence!
Of course, fencing is only one part of what we do. If you’ve got an older deck attached to your house and it’s become something of an eyesore and is a thing your family is increasingly nervous about spending time on because it hasn’t seen maintenance in a while, we can help with that as well.
In fact, in most cases, we can refurbish your deck, restoring it to like-new condition for a fraction of what it would cost you to have something new built in its place.
If you don’t have a deck yet, but you’ve long dreamed of adding one to your property for outdoor entertaining, we’ll be there to assist! As with fencing, we also do custom deck builds, although this is an even bigger and more involved project than a custom fence.
Again, it’s important that you have a very clear mental image of what you want before we begin, so if you know you want something custom but you can’t clearly visualize it, we definitely recommend spending time looking through our collection of photos to get some ideas.
We have the same flexibility in materials with decks as we do with fencing. Many people opt for wooden decking. It’s a great choice and tends to be a bit less expensive than using some type of composite material, but there’s a tradeoff. You’ll generally see more in the way of ongoing maintenance where wooden decks are concerned.
For example, with a wooden deck, you’ll want to have it power washed, stained, and sealed annually to help protect it from the elements. A composite deck may cost more initially, but you won’t have to do most of that. While we still recommend annual inspections and incremental repairs, composite decks don’t need staining or sealing. Ultimately then, it comes down to what works best for you.
Whatever your needs are where your outdoor spaces are concerned, we’ll be there when you need us. Call our office today.
