How much do you about wood fence repair? If you're like most people, your expertise extends to judging how bad the damage is. Whether it's a large section of fence that needs repair or just a slat or two, it makes sense to call in a wood fence contractor.

A fence contractor will tell you that a fence can be repaired rather than replaced if it is less than ten years old, or if there's nothing destroying the wood from the inside out, such as termite damage or wood rot or damage from water. Your contractor is the one to decide if one section of the fence needs repair or if sections should be replaced. Repairing a wood fence should only take a few hours, but it's always good to have a contractor inspect the rest of the fence while working to make sure whatever damaged one section won't happen to other sections.
