Serving Sacramento, Roseville, Auburn, El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove & Surrounding Communities
Low Maintenance. Long Lasting. Built for Sacramento.
Something’s wrong with your fence or gate. Maybe it’s leaning. Maybe the gate won’t open. Maybe a post snapped, a panel blew over in a storm, or someone drove into it. Whatever happened — you want it fixed, and you want it handled quickly and affordably.
That’s exactly what Fantastic Fence does. We’ll come out, evaluate the damage, and give you options — not just one answer.

(Real customers)
Many people search for “fence repair” but what they really need might be a quick fix, a proper structural repair, or a full replacement. We don’t assume. We evaluate your fence, explain what’s happening, and present you with 2–3 options so you can choose what fits your budget and your goals. Sometimes a repair is the right call. Sometimes replacing the damaged section — or the entire fence — is actually the smarter, more affordable long-term decision. We’ll help you see the difference.
What’s Going On With Your Fence?
Most repair calls we receive fall into a handful of common situations. Find yours below.
My Fence Is Leaning or Falling Over
This is the most common call we get. A leaning fence almost always means one or more posts have failed — usually from rot at the base where the post meets the ground.
Sacramento’s clay soil accelerates this. The soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating a cycle that loosens and degrades posts over time. Once one post goes, the surrounding panels lose support and start to lean or collapse.
Your options may include:
- Quick stabilization: Reinforce or sister the failed post to buy time.
- Post replacement: Remove the rotted post and set a new one in concrete — or upgrade to a hidden steel post for permanent strength.
- Section or full replacement: If multiple posts have failed or the pickets and rails are also aging, replacing a section or the entire fence may cost only slightly more than repairing it — and you’ll get years more life out of it.
My Gate Won’t Open or Close Properly
Gate problems are one of the most frustrating fence issues because you deal with them every single day. The gate drags, sticks, won’t latch, or swings open on its own.
In most cases, the gate itself isn’t the real problem — the post is. Gate posts take more stress than any other post on the fence. They’re opened, closed, leaned on, and sometimes slammed dozens of times a day. When the post shifts, warps, or rots, the gate stops working.
Your options may include:
- Gate adjustment: Re-align hinges, adjust the latch, or trim the gate to clear the ground.
- Post and gate replacement: Because the cost difference between replacing just the post versus replacing the post and gate together is often minimal, we frequently recommend doing both — so everything is aligned, warrantied, and built to last.
- Upgrade to a steel-framed gate: For gates that take heavy daily use, a welded steel frame eliminates sagging permanently.
My Automated Gate Isn’t Working
Automated driveway gates can stop working for a lot of reasons — motor failure, sensor issues, remote problems, misaligned tracks, or electrical faults. It’s stressful when your gate won’t open and you can’t get in or out of your own driveway.
We diagnose automated gate problems for free. Our team will evaluate the opener, sensors, wiring, and gate structure, then give you clear options for getting it running again.

My Fence Posts Are Rotting
You might notice the fence feels wobbly when you push on it, or you can see the post crumbling at ground level. Post rot is the #1 reason wood fences fail in the Sacramento area.
Today’s pressure-treated posts don’t last as long as they used to. The industry moved away from older chemical treatments to newer, more environmentally friendly formulations — but the newer treatments don’t protect against rot as effectively, especially in ground-contact applications.
Your options may include:
- Replace individual posts: We can dig out the failed post and set a new pressure-treated or hidden steel post in its place.
- Consider the bigger picture: If one or two posts have rotted, the others on the same fence line are likely aging at the same rate. Sometimes replacing the entire fence line with hidden steel posts is more cost-effective than fixing posts one at a time over the next few years.
Storm Damage Knocked My Fence Down
Sacramento’s winter storms can bring high winds, heavy rain, and falling trees. We see a major surge in repair calls every storm season, and our phones can ring non-stop for weeks.
After a storm, we prioritize getting to our existing customers first while serving as many new customers as we can. If your fence has storm damage, call us as soon as possible to get in the queue.
Pro Tip: Don’t Wait for Storm Season
The best time to address a weakening fence is before a storm takes it down. If your fence is wobbling, leaning, or showing signs of post rot, getting it repaired or replaced before winter saves you money and avoids the rush. After a major storm, wait times increase and material availability can tighten.
Someone Cut My Chain Link or Damaged My Fence
Cut chain link, bent iron pickets, forced access points, and other vandalism damage are urgent repairs — especially for commercial properties, apartment complexes, and any property where security is a concern.
We keep scheduling openings available for emergency and urgent repairs. In many cases, we can patch or re-weave chain link so the repair is virtually invisible, replace damaged iron sections, or secure the breach quickly while you plan a longer-term solution.
A Vehicle Hit My Fence
Vehicle impacts commonly damage road-facing fences, driveway gates, and commercial perimeter fencing. These repairs can involve posts, panels, gate systems, or all three.
We provide detailed written estimates that work for insurance claims. If you’re filing a claim, we can document the damage and provide the paperwork your insurer needs.
Missing or Damaged Pickets, Boards, or Panels
Sometimes it’s not a structural emergency — just a few boards that blew off, cracked, or went missing. We handle these smaller repairs too.
That said, if your pickets are failing, it’s worth having us look at the posts and rails while we’re there. Cosmetic da

We keep it simple:
You call or book online
Tell us what’s going on. We can usually get someone out for an estimate the next day, and we keep openings available for urgent or emergency situations.
We evaluate in person.
We look at the damage, assess the overall condition of the fence, and figure out the root cause — not just the symptom.
We give you options.
Typically 2–3 choices ranging from a quick fix to a proper repair to a replacement with upgrades. We explain the pros, cons, and cost of each so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
We get it done.
Small repairs are often completed quickly. Larger projects are scheduled promptly with clear timelines and no surprises.
Repair, Fix, or Replace? We Help You Decide.
This is the most important part of what we do. A lot of fence companies will just fix what you point at and leave. We take a step back and help you understand the full picture.
Sometimes a repair is absolutely the right call
— a single post failed, the rest of the fence is in great shape, and a targeted fix solves the problem for years.
Sometimes replacement is the smarter investment
— when multiple posts are aging, the pickets are weathered, and the cost to repair is approaching the cost of a new fence that will last 15–20+ years.
We never push one option over another. We lay out the facts, give you pricing on each, and let you choose. That’s how it should be.
Insurance Claims & Fence Repair
If your fence was damaged by a storm, a fallen tree, or a vehicle, your homeowner’s insurance may cover part or all of the repair or replacement. Here’s what you should know:
We provide detailed written estimates
that document the damage and itemize the repair — exactly what your insurance company needs.
Fence coverage is usually under “other structures”
on your homeowner’s policy, not the main dwelling coverage.
Older fences are often depreciated
which can reduce the payout. After deductibles and depreciation, insurance may not cover a full replacement.
We recommend checking your policy early
so you understand your coverage before making a decision on repair vs. replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fence Repair
How quickly can you come out for an estimate?
We can typically schedule a repair estimate within one business day. For urgent or emergency situations — like a security breach or a fence blocking a driveway — we keep openings available and do our best to get someone out the same day.
Do you give options, or just one quote?
We present 2–3 options whenever possible. That might include a quick temporary fix, a proper structural repair, or a full replacement with upgrades. We explain the trade-offs of each so you can choose what fits your budget and timeline.
My fence is old. Is it worth repairing?
It depends. If the damage is isolated to one area and the rest of the fence is solid, a repair can extend its life for years at a fraction of the cost of replacement. But if multiple posts are failing, the pickets are weathered, and the repair cost is approaching 40–50% of a new fence, replacement usually makes more sense. We’ll give you an honest assessment.
Do you repair all fence types?
Yes. We repair wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental iron, Durabond steel, and pool fences. We also repair and diagnose both manual and automated gates.
Can you help with insurance claims?
Absolutely. We provide detailed written estimates that document the damage for your insurance company. We can’t guarantee what your policy will cover, but we’ll give you everything you need to file the claim.
What if I just need a few boards replaced?
We handle small repairs too. But while we’re there, we’ll take a quick look at the posts and rails to make sure there isn’t a bigger issue developing underneath. If everything checks out, we’ll fix the boards and you’re good to go.
