Why posts fail and how we set a new one

A wood fence almost never fails in the middle of a board. It fails at the posts, right at ground level. That is where the wood stays damp longest and rot works in. The post looks solid from the yard while the core goes soft, and then one windy night the section leans over.

Bracing a rotted post buys a few months at best. The right fix is to take it out. We cut the post loose from the rails, dig out the old post and its concrete, and set a new post in fresh quick-set concrete, plumb and lined up with the rest of the fence. Before any digging starts, underground utility lines get marked. Calling 811 before you dig is good practice anywhere, and we plan the day around it.

Pickets, rails and gates

Loose and missing pickets are the easy part. We match the board size as closely as the lumber yard allows and keep the spacing even. New wood looks brighter than the old fence until it weathers in.

Gates take a little more care. A gate sags because the hinges pull loose, the post it hangs on starts to lean, or the frame racks out of square. We tighten or replace the hinges, re-square the frame with a brace, and set a latch that lines up, so the gate swings clear and closes without a shove. If the hinge post is the problem, that is a post replacement.

When repair is the wrong call

Some fences are past fixing one piece at a time. If most of the posts in a run are soft, or the pickets break when you push on them, replacing the run costs less than chasing it post by post. We check the posts on either side of the broken one, and if the fence is at that point we will say so and show you the photos.

Chain link, vinyl and iron fences can often be repaired too, but the parts and methods vary, so we quote them from photos instead of a flat rate.

Fence Permits By Town

Fence rules change from one city to the next. These notes come from each city's own pages and code, linked so you can check them.

Oklahoma City addresses: call to confirm. The city requires a permit for fence repairs and limits who can pull it, so check with us before planning fence work inside the Oklahoma City limits.

Yukon: The City of Yukon requires a fee and a permit to install a fence. Its fence handout sets rear-yard fences at no less than five feet and no more than eight feet tall, and front-yard fences at no more than four feet. Source: City of Yukon, Fence Installation Requirements; The city's handout covers new fence installation. It does not say whether replacing a few pickets or one post needs a permit, so for repairs we ask Development Services about your address before we quote. Source: City of Yukon Development Services
Piedmont: Piedmont's permit requirements table lists "Fence (6 Feet and Taller)" among the projects that need a permit. The city does not spell out a rule for shorter fences or for repairs, so we check with Community Development before quoting fence work. Source: City of Piedmont, Permit Requirements
Mustang: The City of Mustang says a permit is required for new fencing, and for repairing or replacing an existing fence if the material, location or height changes. Fences in front of the front building line may be three feet tall at most. All other fences may be six feet at most. Source: City of Mustang, Fencing
Bethany: The City of Bethany lists fences among the projects that need a permit "if location, height and material changes". A repair that keeps the same location, height and material is a different case, and Community Development can confirm for your address. Source: City of Bethany Community Development, Q and A
Northwest Oklahoma City: Oklahoma City's municipal code says no person shall construct, erect, install, alter, repair or service any fence without obtaining a permit. The permit can be pulled only by the owner or lessee of the lot or by a fence contractor registered with the city. Source: Oklahoma City Municipal Code, Chapter 19, Fences
Deer Creek: Deer Creek is a public school district, not a city, and its boundary overlaps Oklahoma City and Edmond. Which city's permit rules apply depends on which city limits your address falls inside. Source: Deer Creek Public Schools; At an Edmond address, the city's permit flowchart lists fences among the projects that do not need a building permit. At an Oklahoma City address, city code requires a permit for fence work, repairs included. Source: City of Edmond, Do I Need a Building Permit?
Edmond: The City of Edmond's "Do I Need a Building Permit?" flowchart lists fences in the "no" column, for work done by a homeowner or by a contractor. Source: City of Edmond, Do I Need a Building Permit?
Oklahoma City: Oklahoma City's municipal code says no person shall construct, erect, install, alter, repair or service any fence without obtaining a permit from the city. Only the owner or lessee of the lot, or a fence contractor registered with the city, can pull that permit. Source: Oklahoma City Municipal Code, Chapter 19, Fences; The city's general rule is that permits are required to construct, alter, repair, enlarge, move or demolish a primary or accessory structure. For anything beyond a small repair, the Development Center can tell you whether your project needs one. Source: Oklahoma City Development Services

Send the fence line

Text a photo of each problem spot and one wide shot of the whole run. Tell us roughly how many pickets or posts are down.

Repair day

Underground lines get marked before we dig. We pull the old post, set the new one in concrete, hang the pickets and haul off the debris.
Photos and a look up top

You get a before and after photo report, plus the free roof and exterior check from the ground or the ladder.

Questions

Fence Repair Questions

How much does fence repair cost in Yukon?

Up to 10 pickets is $149 plus materials. A post set in concrete is $199 for the first and $129 for each added post on the same visit, plus materials. Gates and rails run at $85 an hour. You get one written total before we book.

Why do fence posts always break at the ground?

Wood stays wet where it meets the soil or the top of the concrete, and that is where rot starts. The post looks fine above ground while the inside turns soft right at grade. Once it goes, a strong wind finishes the job and snaps it at that line.

Can you just brace a leaning post instead of replacing it?

A brace holds a rotted post up for a while, but the rot keeps going and the brace does not last. We dig out the old post and concrete and set a new post in fresh concrete, so the fence stands on solid footing again.

Is it cheaper to replace my whole fence?

Sometimes. If most of the posts in a run are soft, fixing them one at a time costs more than a new run would. We check the posts next to the broken ones, and if that is what we find, we will tell you plainly instead of selling you post after post.

The fence is shared with my neighbor. Can you still fix it?

Yes, but have a word with your neighbor first. A shared fence belongs to both of you, and it goes better when nobody is surprised by a crew in the yard. We do not decide where the property line runs, so settle that before we start.
