Question 1

How much does fence repair cost in Burlington?

Accepted Answer

Small repairs like replacing a few boards or re-hanging a gate typically run $150–$500. Replacing leaning or rotted posts usually costs $250–$450 per post depending on access and footing condition. Storm-damage repairs spanning several sections are quoted on-site — estimates are free and we give fixed pricing before any work starts.

Question 2

Should I repair my fence or replace it?

Accepted Answer

As a rule of thumb: if the posts are sound and less than a third of the boards are damaged, repair is worth it. If most posts are moving, the rails are rotted, or the fence is 20+ years old, replacement is usually cheaper than repeated repairs. We assess it honestly at the free estimate — repairs are good business for us, so we have no reason to push a replacement you don't need.

Question 3

How fast can you repair storm damage?

Accepted Answer

For safety issues — a fence section down, a pool enclosure breached, a gate that won't secure — we prioritize scheduling and can usually get a Burlington crew out within days. Call (647) 495-4151 and mention it's storm damage.

Question 4

Why do fence posts lean in Burlington?

Accepted Answer

Two reasons: clay soil that holds water around the post, and freeze-thaw cycles that grip and lift the footing each winter. Posts set in shallow or undrained footings will lean within a few seasons. When we replace a post we dig below the frost line and use footings that shed water, which is why our repairs come with a 3-year warranty.
