We repair wood, vinyl, chain link and metal fences in Billings and the towns around it. Text us a photo and the length that is damaged, and we can usually say whether it is a repair or a replacement.
Fence repairs in Billings usually trace back to the ground or the wind. Clay soil on the West End and in the Heights swells and shrinks through the year, and that slow movement loosens posts until a whole run leans. Wood posts also rot right at the soil line, where they stay damp. When we look at a leaning fence we push on every post, find the ones that have failed, and replace those. If the rails and pickets are still sound, they go back up on the new posts.
Summer storms are the other big source of calls. Billings gets strong thunderstorm gusts and hail, and a solid six foot privacy fence takes the wind like a sail. A gust can snap two or three posts and lay a section flat. Hail chips and cracks older vinyl and strips the finish from wood. Send us photos and the length that is down. We write an itemized estimate that you can pass to your insurance company, and we can close an open yard with a temporary panel if you have dogs.
Gates need attention before the rest of the fence does. Wide alley gates and RV gates are heavy, and once the hinge post moves even a little, the latch stops lining up. We reset or replace the hinge post, add a brace, and adjust or change the hardware. In winter a gate can also stop closing because frost has lifted a post. That fix waits for the ground to thaw, but we can make the gate usable in the meantime.
Fence repair in Billings: common questions
Can you repair a fence in winter in Billings?
Many repairs, yes. Rails, pickets, panels, chain link fabric and gate hardware can be fixed in cold weather. Work that needs new post holes depends on how deep the ground is frozen. A warm spell often opens a window, so call and we will tell you what is possible that week.
Hail damaged my vinyl fence. Can single panels be replaced?
Usually. Vinyl fence is built from panels that slide into the posts, so cracked sections can be swapped if a matching profile and color is still made. Older fences can be hard to match exactly. Text us a close photo of a panel and a post cap and we will check.
My fence leans a bit more every year. Is that the soil?
Often it is. Clay that swells and shrinks works shallow posts loose, and wind does the rest. If only a few posts move when you push them, we replace those. If most of them move, the fence was set too shallow for this ground and new posts along the whole run are the lasting fix.
