About Charleston Fence Repair Services

Before any type of repair service, our skilled Charleston handyman takes the necessary time to fully inspect the damaged area by assessing the cause. Once we have a detailed diagnostic and evaluation, it will be easier to determine the course of action.

Common types of damage that call for fence repairs in Charleston, SC include:

  • Wood rot: This occurs when wooden fence posts have suffered from weather damage that results in cracks and holes. Without regular maintenance, such as filling gaps, sanding edges, and resealing the surface, wooden fences become susceptible to water damage. The interior is not waterproof, so once moisture has reached the core, the interior structure will start to decay, causing structural damage.

  • Rust: Rusty wrought iron or chain link fences are unsightly but can be fixed with some TLC and efficient fence repairs. Charleston, SC professionals will thoroughly clean the fence using a pressure washer, during which some rusted bits will come off. Next, they will scrub the affected areas with steel wool pads or a wire brush until the surface is smooth. Before any painting takes place, our Charleston fence repair technicians will apply some spray-on rust inhibitor.

  • Leaning post: If you have a leaning fence problem, it was either not installed properly, to begin with, or the soil on your property has shifted. Poor soil drainage is also a common culprit. Vertical wood posts are never installed directly into the soil and neither are the pickets. Your posts should stand on either concrete footing, ground spikes, or rigid foam. Otherwise, they will rot sooner than later. During fence repairs, Charleston, SC service technicians will deal with your soil problem by installing a landscape fabric for erosion control.

FAQs About Fence Repairs | Charleston, SC

  • Essentially, fencing systems are something property owners choose to have on their property to mark the borders between them and their neighbors and the public. For that reason, you are responsible for any repair needs that were caused by weather or animal damage. That said, there are building codes and regulations that you need to follow during a fence installation project. These regulations will also highlight maintenance and repairs.

    Another common issue that property owners face is when their neighbor refuses to pay for repairs, even though the damage is on their property. If you are not on good terms with your neighbor, we recommend that you get the city involved. If a bylaw violation is involved, the city will likely order your neighbor to take action.
