Leaning posts, cracked boards, or a gate that drags - we find the real cause and fix it so the problem does not come back.
Fence repair in Kerrville covers everything from replacing a single cracked board to resetting a leaning post, rehanging a dragging gate, or patching a section knocked down by a storm. Most jobs are completed in a single day, and the cost depends on how many posts are involved and what material your fence is made from.
If your fence is showing wear after years of Hill Country heat and storms, repair is often the right move - as long as the damage has not spread to the majority of posts. We work on wood, cedar, vinyl, and chain link fences throughout Kerrville. For fences where the damage is widespread, we can also help you evaluate fence replacement as an option.
If you are thinking about upgrading while you repair, it may also be worth exploring custom fence design to get a fence built for your specific property.
If a section of your fence is no longer standing straight up and down, the post holding it has likely shifted or rotted at the base. In Kerrville, this often happens after heavy rain softens soil around a post that was not set deep enough to reach stable ground below the rocky layer. A leaning fence will not correct itself - it will keep tilting until the section falls.
Wood boards that have lost their finish dry out and crack in Kerrville's summer heat, and the bottom edges that sit close to soil are the first to rot. Press your thumb against any dark or discolored area near the ground - if the wood feels soft or spongy, rot has set in. Catching this early means replacing a few boards rather than an entire section.
A gate that no longer works right is almost always a sign that the post it hangs from has moved. Gate posts carry more weight and stress than line posts, making this one of the most common fence problems in the Hill Country. Adjusting the hinges or latch hardware alone will not solve it if the post itself has shifted.
Fence boards shrink and shift over time, but sudden new gaps - especially after a storm - mean something structural has moved. Kerrville's strong spring thunderstorms can push entire fence sections out of alignment without knocking them over completely. If your fence looks noticeably different after a storm, even if it is still standing, it is worth having someone take a look.
We handle the full range of fence repair work that Kerrville homeowners need. Post replacement is the most common job - and the most important one. A board that falls off can be reattached quickly, but a post that has rotted underground or shifted in rocky soil needs to be reset properly or the repair will not hold. We also handle gate work: rehinging a sagging gate, replacing worn latch hardware, and addressing the post the gate hangs from when that is the real cause of the problem.
Beyond posts and gates, we replace individual boards and rails, patch sections damaged by fallen trees or vehicles, and repair sections knocked out of alignment by storm winds. If your fence has not been touched in years and needs a full evaluation before you decide what to do, we will walk it with you and give you an honest read. We work across all the common fence materials in Kerrville, including cedar, pressure-treated wood, vinyl, and chain link. For fences that are past the point of repair, we can transition you to a full fence replacement. For homeowners who want to improve while they repair, our custom fence design service lets you plan something that fits your property from the ground up.

Kerr County sits on top of limestone bedrock, and in many Kerrville yards that rock is only a foot or two below the surface. When a post needs resetting, that often means breaking through rock with specialized equipment - something an out-of-town crew may not be prepared for. That is why post repairs in Kerrville can cost more than what a friend in San Antonio paid for a similar job. It also means shortcuts show up fast: a post set above the rock line will shift again the first time the soil gets wet. We set posts to the depth the ground actually requires, not the minimum that looks acceptable on the day of the job. Homeowners in Ingram and Center Point deal with the same rocky conditions, and we bring the same approach to every job across the area.
Beyond the soil, Kerrville's climate puts fences through a real stress cycle every year. Temperatures above 95 degrees dry out untreated wood fast, and cedar boards that have lost their protective finish crack and split much sooner than they should. Then spring rolls in with high winds and hail that can push a weakened section over entirely. Staying ahead of small repairs - a cracked board here, a leaning post there - is almost always cheaper than waiting for a storm to finish what the heat started.
We reply within one business day. A few photos sent ahead of time - your phone camera is fine - help us give you a more accurate estimate before we even arrive.
We walk the fence line, check the posts underground, and look at everything the photos cannot show. You get a written estimate that breaks down labor and materials separately - no vague totals.
Once you approve the estimate, we set a date. Most Kerrville repairs are completed in a single day. If post work in rocky soil is involved, we will tell you upfront if it may run two days.
Before we leave, we walk the repair with you. The gate latches, the fence is level, and the old material is hauled away. We do not consider it done until you have seen it and said it looks right.
Written estimate before any work starts. No pressure, no surprise bills.
(830) 386-1933A lot of fence repairs look fine for a year and then start failing again because the post was not properly set in Hill Country soil. We take the time to address what is actually wrong - usually underground - so you are not calling us again next season.
You get a written breakdown of what we are doing and why before a single board is touched. That means no surprises when the job is done and no pressure to decide on the spot during the estimate visit.
Cedar is the standard fence material in Kerrville, and we source the same wood so your repair weathers and ages consistently with the rest of your fence line. A patch job that sticks out from the street is not a job well done.
Newer subdivisions in Kerrville often have HOA rules about fence materials and appearance. We know the neighborhoods with active HOA oversight and can tell you upfront whether your repair needs association approval before we schedule the work. See the American Fence Association for industry repair standards.
Every one of these points adds up to one thing: a repair that holds. Kerrville homeowners call us back because the work they paid for is still standing after the next storm season.
