Fence Repair Services We Offer
Wood Fence Repair
Wood fences are frequently the most common inquiry we receive in Des Moines. Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms can lead to significant fence damage. We can repair and replace:
- Rotted or broken fence posts
- Cracked, warped, or missing fence boards
- Leaning fence sections
- Damaged or sagging gates
- Storm and wind damage
- Full section replacements to seamlessly match your existing fence
Vinyl PVC Fence Repair
Vinyl is known for its durability, but it can experience cracks or breaks from impact, especially during Iowa's cold winters when it becomes more brittle. We provide repairs for cracked panels, broken posts, and damaged gates on all styles and colors of vinyl fences.
Chain Link Fence Repair
Chain link fences can suffer from sagging, rust, or damage due to vehicles or vandalism. Our team is skilled in repairing sagging fabric, replacing bent or broken posts, fixing damaged tension bars, and restoring gate hardware for both residential and commercial chain link fences throughout Des Moines.
Aluminum Fence Repair
Bent or broken aluminum panels, damaged posts, and faulty gate hardware are easily handled by our expert team. We source matching aluminum components to ensure your repaired fence looks cohesive with the existing installation.
Wrought Iron Fence Repair
Older wrought iron fences in Des Moines often face rust, bent pickets, broken welds, and damaged gates. We treat rust, repair structural damage, and refinish iron fencing to enhance both function and aesthetics.
Black Vinyl PVC Fence Repair
If your black vinyl panels or posts are cracked or damaged, we offer replacement options that seamlessly match your existing fence. We stock a range of black vinyl components for quick turnaround repairs.
Gate Repair & Replacement
A fence's integrity relies heavily on its gate. We specialize in repairing and replacing various types of fence gates, addressing issues like:
- Sagging or misaligned gates
- Broken hinges and latches
- Damaged gate frames
- Automatic gate system repairs
- Full gate replacements
Common Causes of Fence Damage in Des Moines
The unique climate and environment in Iowa create specific challenges for fencing. The most common causes of fence damage we observe in the Des Moines area include:
- Winter freeze-thaw cycles — These cycles cause posts to shift and wood to crack
- Wind and storm damage — Iowa's storms can dismantle entire fence sections
- Moisture and rot — Ground contact moisture is the primary cause of wood post failure
- Vehicle impact — Accidents can lead to significant fence damage
- Age and wear — Even high-quality fences need board, post, or hardware replacements over time
- Rust and corrosion — Older wrought iron and uncoated chain link fences suffer from these issues as they age
- Tree and branch damage — Falling limbs from storms can crush fence panels and posts
Should You Repair or Replace Your Fence?
If you're uncertain whether to repair or replace your fence, consider this general guideline:
Repair typically makes sense when:
- Damage is limited to a few boards or panels
- The majority of the fence remains structurally sound
- The fence is relatively new (under 10 years for wood, longer for metal or vinyl)
- Repair costs are significantly less than the expense of a full replacement
Replacement makes sense when:
- More than 30–40% of the fence is damaged or deteriorated
- Posts are extensively rotted or heaved
- The fence is nearing the end of its lifespan
- You wish to upgrade to a different material or style
Not sure where you stand? Call us for an honest assessment — we’ll evaluate your fence and provide straightforward recommendations. We will never recommend a full replacement if a repair can effectively resolve the issue.
