Fence Repair in Lincoln — FAQ

Should I repair or replace my entire fence?+

If more than 30–40% of the fence is damaged or the posts are more than 15 years old, full replacement is usually more cost-effective than patching multiple sections.

Can you match my existing fence style?+

In most cases yes. We source matching picket profiles and stain colors. Weathered wood will differ slightly in color, but a fresh coat of stain can unify old and new sections.

How quickly can fence repairs be completed?+

Most residential fence repairs (1–5 sections) are completed in a single day. Larger jobs or those requiring post replacement may take 2 days.

Does homeowners insurance cover fence damage?+

Fence damage from covered perils (wind, falling trees, vehicle impact) is typically covered minus your deductible. Normal wear and rot are not covered.
