A damaged section or a troublesome gate does not always mean replacing an entire fence. Watson & Sons Carpentry helps Tallahassee homeowners look at the condition of an existing fence and discuss a repair that makes sense for the project.
Tell us what has changed.
Has the fence started leaning? Are boards damaged or missing? Is the gate sagging, catching or difficult to latch? Describe the problem and whether it affects one area or several sections. Photos are useful for an initial conversation, although a final scope may require an on-site assessment.
Fence sections, posts and gates.
The scope might involve individual boards, a damaged section, supports or the gate itself. We consider how the affected area connects to the rest of the fence, rather than assuming that a visible problem is the only thing needing attention.
Repair or replace?
The decision depends on the existing fence, the extent of the damage, your priorities and the proposed work. A targeted repair may be appropriate when much of the fence can be retained. More extensive deterioration can make replacement worth discussing. We will outline the proposed scope so you can decide how to proceed.
What affects the finished appearance?
New boards and existing wood may look different. Tell us whether your priority is restoring function, matching the current style or updating a larger section. Material choices and any finishing work should be included in the agreed estimate.
Planning your repair.
- Let us know which sections are affected and how the damage occurred, if known.
- Mention pets, access restrictions and any shared boundary arrangements.
- Tell us whether the gate is part of the problem.
