Fence Repair Long Island
Rotted posts, leaning sections, broken boards, storm damage. We match the existing style exactly. Same-week service available in Nassau and Suffolk County.
Common Fence Repairs We Handle
Rotted post replacement
The most common Long Island fence failure. We dig out old posts, set new ones in concrete, reattach existing boards.
Leaning fence sections
Usually caused by frost heave or rotted post bases. We reset posts and realign sections.
Storm and wind damage
Broken rails, blown-out panels, snapped posts. We respond same-week after major storms.
Broken or missing pickets/boards
We match the existing fence material, color, and style as closely as possible.
Gate repair and rehang
Sagging gates, broken latches, stripped hinge posts. Gates fail before the fence does.
Vinyl crack and panel repair
Cracked or split vinyl panels from impact or UV degradation. Panels replaced, not patched.
Repair vs. Replace: Honest Advice
We'll tell you straight when a repair doesn't make economic sense. If your fence has multiple rotted posts, widespread board failure, or is over 20 years old, a full replacement is often less expensive than patchwork repairs over the next few years. We give you the repair quote and the full replacement quote side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need to repair or replace my fence?
The key is whether the structure is still sound. If 3 or fewer posts are rotted and the rails and boards are mostly good, repair makes sense. If more than 30% of the posts are compromised, or the fence is over 20 years old and showing widespread failure, replacement is typically more cost-effective. We'll give you both quotes side-by-side so you can make an informed decision.
How much does fence repair cost on Long Island?
Most fence repair jobs run $150 to $600 depending on what's needed. Replacing a single rotted post runs $200 to $350 including labor and concrete. Repairing a gate that won't close properly runs $100 to $250. Storm damage repair varies widely based on the number of sections affected. We give free written estimates for all repair work.
How quickly can you repair fence damage?
For storm damage after major Nor'easters or wind events, we typically have same-week availability for Nassau and Suffolk County clients. For standard repairs (rotted posts, broken boards), we schedule within 1 to 2 weeks. If you have a security concern due to a downed fence section, call us directly — we prioritize those.
Can you match my existing fence style?
In most cases, yes. For wood fences, we match the board style, width, and height. For vinyl, we match the color and profile. Chain link gauge and coating is easy to match. Where an exact match isn't available, we'll tell you before we start.
My neighbor's tree fell on my fence. Who pays?
Generally, your homeowner's insurance covers the cost of your fence repair, regardless of where the tree came from. We can document the damage for your insurance claim. If the neighbor's tree was clearly dead or diseased and they were notified, you may have a case against them — but that's a legal question, not a fence one.
