Let Hal Co Fence Assess your Fence for Privacy Fence Repair in Manassas, VA
Do you have a privacy fence somewhere on your property? Lots of area homeowners do. They make an awesome addition to most any property, allowing you and your family to entertain outdoors in relative seclusion and enjoy the fabulous views and vistas that the region has to offer.
Unfortunately, time and the elements will invariably take their toll on your fence, especially if it hasn’t received regular maintenance. Storms will weather it. Falling limbs or whole trees might damage entire sections. Depending on what it’s made of, high water can cause rot or decay. Vinyl fences will become brittle and crack. Wood can splinter or rot. Sooner or later, the day’s going to come when you find yourself in need of privacy fence repair in Manassas, VA.

When that happens, you’ve essentially got two options: You can try to fix the damage yourself, or you can hire a professional to do it for you.
Fence repair isn’t especially difficult, and it’s something that most experienced do it yourselfers can handle, but there’s a catch. Even a moderately damaged fence can take a day, or perhaps several to whip back into shape. Most people don’t have that kind of time to devote to the project, which is why it so commonly gets outsourced.
As the top-rated fencing company is the area, nobody knows more about privacy fence repair in Manassas, VA than we do, and we’re more than happy to assist!
If you decide that it’s something you want help with, our first step will be to come out to your property and assess the extent of the damage to give us a chance to determine the best way to proceed. Broadly speaking, fence damage takes one of two forms which will inform how we proceed with privacy fence repair in Manassas, VA: The damage could either be centered on one or more sections of your fence, or on the posts that hold it in place.
If you have damage to sections of fence, the form the damage takes is going to differ in part based on what the fence is made of. A wooden fence, for example, is more prone to rot, although cracked boards and slats are certainly possible. A composite fence is difficult to damage, but when it does take damage, cracking is most commonly seen. Vinyl fencing gets brittle with age and will crack and ultimately crumble apart.
Obviously then, depending on how bad the damage is and what the fence is made of, privacy fence repair in Manassas, VA could take a number of different forms from patching or bonding small sections in the case of light damage, to individual board replacement, or even whole section replacement in the case of extensive damage.
Where fence posts are concerned, as long as they’re no more than 30% damaged it should be possible, in most cases, to repair, rather than replace. Much more than that though, and there’s a diminishing return on repair and replacement starts to look more and more attractive.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to know any of that without performing a visual inspection on the fence itself. Once we’ve completed our assessment, we’ll give you our full report, along with our professional recommendation and a free estimate so you’ll have a firm understanding of what it will take to get your fence back in good working order.
If you’d rather forego privacy fence repair in Manassas, VA and view the damaged fence as an opportunity to replace it with something new, we’re happy to do that as well. In fact, since we’re a locally owned and operated company, we’ve got a lot more flexibility than big national chains, who tend to be limited by having to sell whatever the corporate office tells them to.
Since we don’t have a far-flung corporate office to report to, we can focus more on your needs, preferences, and desires. In fact, if you like, we can even build a totally custom fence for you.
Be aware though, that a custom fence is a much bigger and more involved project than most people realize. Before we begin, you’ll want to have a very clear mental image of what you want the finished product to look like. If you know you want something custom, but you can’t quite see it, our recommendation is to spend some time browsing the extensive collection of photos we keep elsewhere on our site.
This will provide you with a pair of important benefits. First, it will give you a chance to see the quality of our workmanship for yourself. Second, you’re guaranteed to come away with all sorts of great ideas for your own custom fencing project!
Once you’ve got a clear vision of what you want your custom project to be, we’ll sit down with you and capture as many of those details as we can. Using those details, we’ll create a detailed project plan and give it to you for review, along with a no-obligation estimate so you’ll fully understand the scope and scale of the project.
Then, assuming you’re comfortable with our estimate, we’ll get to work, and before you know it, you’ll have a one of a kind privacy fence that creates a secluded pocket paradise for you and your family to enjoy.
Of course, fencing is just one part of what we do. Do you have an old porch attached to your house that’s showing its age and starting to get a bit rickety? We can help with that. In fact, in most cases, we can restore your old porch to its former glory for a fraction of what it would cost you to have it torn down and have something new built in its place.
Don’t have a porch yet? We’ve got you covered on that front too, although a new, custom porch is an even bigger project than custom fencing is. There are lots of factors to consider and a lot of details we’ll need to capture from you before we begin, including but not limited to things like:
- How big do you want your new porch to be?
- Where and how should it connect to your house? Are we talking about a front porch, back porch, side porch, or something that wraps around?
- If it wraps around, by how much?
- How wide do you want the porch to be?
- What material or materials should it be made out of?
- Do you need safety rails?
- Steps?
- Multiple ways on and off the porch?
We can even create a screened-in porch for you if you like. Screened porches are becoming more and more popular with each passing year, and it’s easy to understand the attraction. After all, given our region’s fantastic views, they give you the opportunity to entertain outdoors without having to worry about the bugs, creating a strong win-win for you and your family.
As with our process for creating a custom fence, we’ll need to sit down with you and capture as many details about what you want your finished porch to look like. The more detail we get from you, the happier you’re going to be with the finished product, so again, if you don’t have a clearly defined vision, we encourage you to spend some time browsing the photos we keep elsewhere on the site.
Did you know we also build and refurbish decks? It’s true, so if it’s been a while since your aging deck has seen any TLC, we can restore it to like-new condition for you, or, if you don’t yet have a deck but have always wanted one, we can make that happen as well.
Custom decks are incredibly involved projects, much more so than custom porches or fences, but our process is fundamentally the same. We’ll work closely with you to make sure we understand your vision, use the details of that vision to create our project plan, give you that plan for review, along with a free, no-obligation estimate and then, assuming you’re comfortable with it, we’ll start working our magic!
If that sounds good to you, call our office today and let’s build something amazing together.
