Read more to find out what causes fence deterioration and what you can do to avoid repeating the same problem again.
Fences don’t fall apart overnight. Most of the time, it’s a slow build of small issues that finally reach a tipping point. One of the biggest culprits is moisture. Rainwater collects around wooden posts, and over time, it can lead to rot. Once rot sets in, the structural integrity of the fence starts to break down from the bottom up. Shifting soil is another cause. Seasonal expansion and contraction in clay-heavy areas can cause posts to lean or sink. When that happens, the fence panels become uneven, and pressure builds in spots that were never designed to hold weight. Hardware failure can also cause problems. Screws rust, brackets come loose, and nails can back out. Metal fences can suffer, too, from corrosion and joint fatigue that lead to the same kind of collapse you’d see in a wooden one. There are also accidental bumps from lawn equipment, kids climbing the fence, or pets constantly jumping on a weak spot. In most cases, a repair can fix these types of problems quickly, especially if they’re isolated to one or two sections.
A lot of homeowners assume that once their fence starts looking rough, the only option is a new fence installation. That’s not always true. Fence repairs are usually the more cost-effective route. If you have a couple of warped pickets or a post that’s become unstable. An experienced handyman in Hendersonville, TN can remove the damaged pieces, secure the remaining ones, and blend in replacements without it looking patchy or uneven. That kind of repair costs far less than tearing out an entire fence line and starting over with a fence installation. A fence replacement in Hendersonville could become necessary when the problems are widespread, like when the posts are all rotting, the panels are failing across the board, or the fence was installed poorly from the start. But if you’re seeing problems in just a few places, especially near gates or low spots where water pools, fence repair is a great solution that can save you money.
A picture hanging project went pear shaped after I bought some EXPENSIVE picture lights that came with HUGE plugs that would prevent the large paintings from lying flat against the wall. I called a local interior decorator looking for a picture hanging pro. She said she always used Mr. Handyman. So, I called them, and, within an hour, Bryan Clifton arrived at my door. What a good, capable guy! He knew exactly what to do, put up with my fumbling attempts to help, and got the job done in about an hour. Definitely will use them again and ask for Bryan first!
Our home projects were beautifully completed in a timely manner; the cost was surprisingly affordable and the craftsmanship exceeded our expectations! Additionally, the customer service was outstanding! Thank you Ryan Buzzetto from Mr. Handyman of E. Nashville and Hendersonville. We are already putting together a list for our next projects!
My wife had to go out of town on a business trip, so, I had the honey do list and decided to call Mr. Handyman. Well, Bryan Clifton was able to come out the same afternoon. He did an outstanding job. Was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the jobs that needed to be done. For a sink problems, he figured out he was not going to be able to do it so, he called his collage with the plumbing side of the company, Mr. Rooter. Another Bryan. Well, he also did any outstanding job, taking extra care to keep the area clean. Both men did an amazing jobs. I live in an old house that is always needed something done and I am getting a little too old to do these things, I have found the people to call now.
Stephen Powers of Mr. Handyman came to my house to replace a set of shutters after one of them had blown off of a 2nd story window on the front of my home during a storm. I had already ordered the replacement shutters, so I just needed one of the old shutters removed and the new set put into place. Though he had to retrieve a masonry drill bit before doing the work, Stephen completed the job in under an hour and the work he did is flawless. The new installation matched the old installation so well that everything matches perfectly and the work done is seamless. Stephen was super professional, helpful and polite and I would happily recommend Mr. Handyman for any home fix-up or improvements needs you might have.
A fence doesn’t have to be falling over to be in trouble. The earlier you spot signs of weakness, the easier it is to fix. Here’s what to watch for:
No one wants to repair the same fence section every year. If that’s happening, there’s usually an underlying issue that needs attention. Prevention starts with figuring out what’s causing the recurring damage. Sealants and stains go a long way toward protecting against moisture in wooden fencing. Reapplying every few years keeps water out and helps prevent rot and insect infestation. Make sure the bottom of your fence isn’t buried in mulch or soil because that traps moisture and speeds up decay. If you’ve had multiple posts fail in the same area, check your drainage. Poor water runoff can weaken the footing. Consider adding gravel at the base or regrading the landscape to keep water moving away. Regular inspections help a lot with metal fences. Look for signs of rust and sand them down before repainting with a rust-inhibiting primer and topcoat. Tighten hardware as needed. Small fixes like this prevent structural failure later on.
If you’re dealing with an aging wooden fence or a metal one that’s starting to corrode, your next step matters. Mr. Handyman offers lasting fence repair in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
