Fence Repair Services We Offer

Wood Fence Repair

Wood fences are the most common repair call we get in Des Moines. Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and summer storms are tough on wood. We 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 match your existing fence

Vinyl PVC Fence Repair

Vinyl is durable, but it can crack or break under impact — especially in Iowa's cold winters when the material becomes more brittle. We repair cracked panels, broken posts, and damaged gates on all vinyl fence styles and colors.

Chain Link Fence Repair

Chain link fences can sag, rust, or sustain damage from vehicles or vandalism. We repair sagging fabric, replace bent or broken posts, fix damaged tension bars, and restore gate hardware on residential and commercial chain link fences throughout Des Moines.

Aluminum Fence Repair

Bent or broken aluminum panels, damaged posts, and faulty gate hardware are no match for our team. We source matching aluminum components to ensure your repaired fence looks seamless with the existing installation.

Wrought Iron Fence Repair

Rust, bent pickets, broken welds, and damaged gates are common issues with older wrought iron fences in Des Moines. We repair structural damage, treat rust, and refinish iron fencing to restore both function and appearance.

Black Vinyl PVC Fence Repair

Cracked or damaged black vinyl panels and posts can be replaced to match your existing fence seamlessly. We keep a range of black vinyl components on hand for fast turnaround repairs.

Gate Repair & Replacement

A fence is only as good as its gate. We repair and replace all types of fence gates including:

• 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

Iowa's climate and environment create a unique set of challenges for fences. The most common causes of fence damage we see throughout the Des Moines area include:

• Winter freeze-thaw cycles — Repeated freezing and thawing causes posts to heave out of the ground and wood to crack
• Wind and storm damage — Iowa thunderstorms and high winds can knock down entire fence sections
• Moisture and rot — Ground contact moisture is the #1 cause of wood post failure
• Vehicle impact — Accidents happen, and a car or truck collision can cause serious fence damage
• Age and wear — Even the best-built fences eventually need boards, posts, or hardware replaced
• Rust and corrosion — Affects older wrought iron and uncoated chain link fences over time
• Tree and branch damage — Falling limbs during Iowa storms can crush fence panels and posts

Should You Repair or Replace Your Fence?

Not sure whether to repair your existing fence or replace it entirely? Here's a general guide:

Repair makes sense when:

• Damage is limited to a few boards, posts, or panels
• The majority of the fence is still structurally sound
• The fence is relatively new (under 10 years for wood, longer for metal or vinyl)
• The cost of repair is significantly less than full replacement

Replacement makes sense when:

• More than 30–40% of the fence is damaged or deteriorated
• Posts are widely rotted or heaved throughout
• The fence is at or near the end of its expected lifespan
• You want to upgrade to a different material or style

Not sure which category you fall into? Give us a call — we'll come out, assess your fence honestly, and give you a straightforward recommendation. We'll never push for a full replacement if a repair will do the job.

How Much Does Fence Repair Cost in Des Moines?

Fence repair costs vary widely depending on the type of fence, the extent of the damage, and the materials needed. General price ranges in the Des Moines area:

• Storm damage section repair: Varies based on how many panels or posts are affected
