Why Fences Fail Around Here
Most of the repairs we see in Sarasota come down to the same few causes:
- Wet sandy soil. Myakka fine sand, Florida's state soil, is common in local flatwoods, and the water table can sit within inches of the surface for months in the rainy season. Shallow or unconcreted posts loosen.
- Wind. Storms like Hurricane Milton in 2024 pushed over solid fences and popped vinyl panels out of their rails.
- Sprinklers and rot. Daily irrigation soaks wood posts and boards until they give out at ground level.
- Corroded hardware. Near the water, plain steel hinges and screws rust and fail.
We fix the cause, not just the symptom, so the same post doesn't lean again next summer. That might mean a deeper footing, a redirected sprinkler head or swapping rusty steel parts for stainless.

Repairs are priced by the job, not by the foot. These are the usual buckets.
Send a photo with your request and we can often give you a ballpark before the visit. Typical new-fence prices are in the cost guide.
Repair or Replace? How We Decide
We'll tell you straight. Repair is usually the better deal when the damage is limited to a few posts, panels or boards and the rest of the fence is sound. Replacement usually wins when:
- More than about a quarter of the fence is damaged or rotting.
- Posts are failing along the whole line, not just in one spot.
- Your vinyl style is discontinued and new panels won't match.
- The fence is near the end of its life anyway, often 10–15 years for wood.
- You need the fence to do something new, like serve as a pool barrier.
If replacing makes more sense, see fence replacement in Sarasota.

After a Storm
Hurricane season runs through the fall, and fence calls spike after every named storm. A few steps make the repair and any claim go smoother:
- Photograph everything before anything is moved: wide shots and close-ups.
- Secure the pool. If the damaged fence is your pool barrier, keep the pool area off limits until it's fixed.
- Check with your insurer. Many policies cover fences under other structures, subject to your deductible.
- Ask for a written estimate. We itemize damage and repairs so your adjuster has what they need.
Repairs That Last Longer Than the Original
When we rebuild a damaged section, we upgrade the weak point: deeper footings, stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware near the coast, an aluminum frame inside a vinyl gate, a cap and trim on wood. It costs little extra and keeps you from calling again after the next storm.
Repairs on any fence type: vinyl, wood, aluminum and chain link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix just one section?
Yes. Swapping a post, a panel or a few boards is one of our most common jobs. Matching is easiest when your style is still available.
Does insurance cover storm damage to a fence?
Many policies cover fences under other structures, subject to your deductible. Take photos before anything is removed, and we can provide a written estimate for your claim.
Why do fence posts lean in Sarasota?
Wet sandy soil, wind and rot at the ground line. Posts set shallow or without concrete lean first.
Do fence repairs need a permit?
Simple repairs usually don't. Rebuilding a large section can count as new work in some jurisdictions, so we check. See the permit guide.
How fast can you come out?
We schedule repair estimates as quickly as we can and prioritize pool barriers and fences that keep pets in.
Can you repair a fence another company installed?
Yes. We repair fences regardless of who built them.
Can you match my old fence?
Usually. We bring samples of common vinyl colors, aluminum profiles and lumber sizes. If an exact match isn't available, we'll show you the closest options before any work starts.
