Most fence repairs in Valdosta come down to posts and gates: a post rots at the ground, a gate starts dragging, a storm knocks a few boards loose. If the rest of the fence is sound, a repair keeps it going for years.
What usually needs fixing
- Rotted or leaning posts
- Broken or loose boards and pickets
- Sagging gates and worn hinges
- Bent chain link or loose ties after a tenant moves out
- Sections damaged by fallen limbs
Repair or replace
If several posts are soft, replacement is usually the better spend. If the damage is local, repair it.
Costs
Angi lists removing an old fence at about $3 to $5 per linear foot, and gates from under $150 to about $2,000.
Digging
A new post means a new hole. Georgia 811 asks for at least 3 business days' notice before digging.
