Fence repair in Monroe and West Monroe.

Pickets and panels are the part you see. Posts are the part that fails. If the posts are still tight in the ground, replacing a few boards, a rail, or a latch is usually the right spend. If the posts move when you push them, or they are soft at the soil line, new boards are going onto a fence that is already done. Ouachita Parish ground holds water. A post that has been sitting in a wet line along the Ouachita, or in a low backyard in West Monroe, often rots at the surface while the pickets still look fine. That is the check we make before recommending a repair.

Storm damage has its own page because a tree on a fence is a different job. Everyday repair is quieter: a gate that sags because the post was set for fence and not for the leverage of the gate, a section a vehicle clipped, a dog that found the one loose board, a chain-link run that is leaning after years of people climbing it. Wood, chain-link, and ornamental fences all come in. Vinyl repairs depend on whether the broken piece is a rail or a post and whether that style is still made. Bring a photo. It often tells us whether to bring boards or to come and look at posts.

A post reset in the same soft hole, without thinking about water, leans again. Monroe and West Monroe yards after a heavy rain show you where the water sits. A repair on that line either moves the post, sets it so water is not the whole story, or it is a temporary fix and we should say so. Slope changes it too. A fence that stair-steps down toward a drainage ditch needs the low end planned, not improvised. If the line is the property line and you are not sure where that is, sort that out before posts are pulled. Moving a repaired fence is the expensive version of a survey.

On the call, three things matter: about how many feet are damaged, what the fence is made of, and whether the posts are solid. A phone photo of the worst post and of the whole run from a few steps back is enough for a lot of small repairs. A whole side of a yard wants a visit. We are at 205 Mane St, Ste C, West Monroe. Most repair work is in West Monroe, Monroe, and the rest of Ouachita Parish. If you are comparing a repair to a new fence, the materials calculator and the permit guides are the next stop after this page, especially if the repair is about to become a replacement tall enough that the city cares.

The permit guides cite the city and parish rules, and the calculator counts posts, rails and pickets. Fence materials calculator. Monroe fence permits. West Monroe fence permits. Ouachita Parish fence permits.
