Most fence repairs run $150 to $800. Resetting a leaning post, swapping a few pickets, or fixing a sagging gate typically lands in that range. Bigger jobs — multiple panels, several rotted posts, or a wind-damaged run — go $800 to $2,500 or more, depending on material and length. The number moves with what's broken, what it's made of, and how much has to come out before the new goes in.
We build websites and lead systems for fencing and contractor businesses, so we see what these jobs actually quote at and how homeowners price-shop them. Here's the honest breakdown — including the repairs you can handle yourself.
By the foot, section repairs run about $10–$35/ft for wood and chain link and $25–$60/ft for vinyl or ornamental metal. Post replacement is usually $40–$150 per post including concrete and labor.
Plenty of fence repairs don't need a contractor. Save the money if:
Hire a pro when posts are rotted or leaning, a run is down, or anything load-bearing is involved. Setting posts in concrete correctly is where DIY most often gets redone — and redoing it costs more than hiring it out once.
Fence repair is bought after a storm or a fallen section — the homeowner searches "fence repair near me" and calls whoever ranks and answers first. A clear site that shows your work, gives honest price ranges, and captures the lead even after hours turns those searches into booked jobs. We run our own service companies on the same stack we build for clients, so the lead capture is tuned for exactly that urgent, mobile search.

Repair when damage is localized — a few posts or panels, a gate, or one storm-hit section. Replace when more than about a third is failing or posts are widely rotted.
Homeowners policies often cover fence damage from storms or fallen trees, minus your deductible. Wear-and-tear and rot generally aren't covered. Document the damage with photos before repairs start.
Small board or gate fixes are a few hours. Post resets need concrete cure time, usually a day. A multi-panel storm repair can run one to two days depending on length.
