Fence Repair & Replacement

Why Fence Repair Matters

Your fence takes a beating from Pennsylvania weather. From heavy snow in winter to summer storms, the elements can damage even the strongest fences. A damaged fence is more than just an eyesore. It can be a safety hazard for kids and pets, reduce your home's value, and leave your property vulnerable.

That's where we come in. At SolidRail State College Fencing, we've been fixing and replacing fences in State College since 2024. We know what local homeowners need because we live here too. Whether you have a few broken boards or need a complete fence replacement, we'll get your fence back in shape.

Common Fence Problems We Fix

Over the years, we've seen just about every fence problem you can imagine. Here are the most common issues we handle:

• •Rotted or broken posts that make your fence lean or wobble
• •Damaged panels or pickets from storms, accidents, or wear and tear
• •Sagging gates that won't close properly anymore
• •Rust and corrosion on metal fences that weakens the structure
• •Missing or broken hardware like hinges, latches, and caps

We'll come out to your property, take a look at the damage, and give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a simple repair will do the trick. Other times, replacing a section or the whole fence makes more sense. We'll walk you through your options and help you make the best choice for your budget.

When to Repair vs. Replace

This is the question we get asked most often. The answer depends on a few factors. If the damage is limited to one area and your fence is relatively new, repair usually makes sense. You save money and keep most of your existing fence.

Consider Repair When:

Your fence is less than 10 years old, the damage affects less than 30% of the fence, the structural posts are still solid, and it's mainly cosmetic issues like loose boards or chipped paint.

Consider Replacement When:

Your fence is over 15 years old, multiple sections are damaged or rotting, posts are leaning or unstable, you're constantly making repairs every season, or you want to upgrade to a different material that requires less maintenance.

We offer competitive pricing on both fence repair and replacement services. After we inspect your fence, we'll give you a detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Our Repair Process

We make fence repair as easy as possible. First, we'll schedule a free on-site inspection at a time that works for you. We'll look at the damage, measure what needs to be done, and discuss your options. Then we'll email you a detailed quote within 24 hours.

Once you approve the quote, we'll order any materials we need and schedule the work. Most repairs can be completed in one or two days. For larger jobs like replacing multiple wood fence sections, it might take a bit longer. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.

We clean up completely when we're done and haul away any old materials. Your yard will look great, and your fence will be solid again. We also offer warranty coverage on our repair work because we stand behind what we do. If you're also interested in upgrading materials, check out our low-maintenance vinyl fence options.
