Common Metal Fence Issues We Repair

Metal fences are valued for their durability, but they aren't immune to damage. At Asheville Fence, we address a wide range of metal fence problems:

Chain Link Fence Repairs

Chain link fencing is exceptionally durable, but can still develop issues over time. Our chain link repair services include:

Fixing bent or damaged posts and rails
Repairing or replacing torn or stretched chain link fabric
Addressing rust and corrosion issues
Straightening leaning sections
Replacing damaged gates and hardware
Repairing fence toppers and privacy slats

Chain link fences often suffer damage from falling trees, vehicle impacts, or ground shifting. Our team quickly assesses the damage and determines whether repair or partial replacement is the most cost-effective approach.

Ornamental Metal Fence Repairs

Ornamental aluminum and steel fences add beauty and security to your property, but can suffer from various issues. We repair:

Bent or damaged pickets and rails
Broken welds and connections
Rusted or corroded sections
Damaged gate hardware and closers
Foundation and post issues
Faded or peeling finish

Our ornamental fence repairs maintain the aesthetic integrity of your fence while ensuring its structural soundness. We carefully match materials and finishes to create seamless repairs that restore both function and appearance.

Metal Gate and Hardware Repairs

Gates are often the most vulnerable part of any fence system due to frequent use. Our metal gate repair services include:

Straightening bent gate frames
Repairing or replacing damaged hinges
Fixing or upgrading latches and locks
Addressing gate sagging issues
Realigning gates for proper operation
Upgrading to automated systems when desired

Properly functioning gates are essential for security and convenience. Our technicians have the specialized knowledge to diagnose and repair even complex gate issues, restoring smooth, reliable operation.

Our Metal Fence Repair Process

At Asheville Fence, we follow a systematic approach to ensure high-quality, long-lasting metal fence repairs:

1. Thorough Assessment

Every repair begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your fence's condition. Our experienced estimators will:

Inspect the entire fence line, not just visibly damaged areas
Identify structural issues that might not be immediately apparent
Assess the condition of posts, foundations, and hardware
Determine the extent of rust or corrosion damage
Evaluate soil conditions and drainage issues that might affect repairs
Document all findings with photos when necessary

This detailed assessment allows us to provide accurate recommendations and estimates, avoiding surprises later in the project.

2. Customized Repair Plan

Based on our assessment, we develop a repair strategy tailored to your specific situation:

Prioritizing safety and structural issues
Balancing cost considerations with long-term durability
Recommending repairs versus replacement when appropriate
Addressing underlying causes of damage, not just symptoms
Suggesting preventative measures to avoid future problems
Providing clear, detailed cost estimates

We take the time to explain our recommendations, ensuring you understand the options and can make informed decisions about your fence repair.

3. Professional Execution

When it's time to perform repairs, our skilled technicians bring expertise and attention to detail to every project:

Careful preparation to protect surrounding landscaping
Proper tools and equipment for efficient, quality work
High-quality materials that match your existing fence
Adherence to industry best practices and local building codes
Thorough cleanup upon completion
Final inspection to ensure all issues have been properly addressed

Our professional approach minimizes disruption while delivering repairs that stand the test of time.

Signs Your Metal Fence Needs Repair

Being proactive about fence maintenance can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Contact Asheville Fence if you notice any of these warning signs:

Leaning or tilting fence sections
Rust spots or corrosion, especially near ground level
Broken or missing pickets or rails
Sagging gates that don't close properly
Loose, wobbly, or damaged posts
Broken welds or connections
Damaged or missing hardware
Fence sections with visible impact damage
Areas where the fence has separated from posts
Significant fading or deterioration of paint or finish

Early intervention typically results in simpler, more cost-effective repairs and extends the overall lifespan of your fence.

Metal Fence Repair vs. Replacement

One common question we address is whether repair or replacement is the better option. At Asheville Fence, we provide honest assessments based on several factors:

Extent of damage (isolated vs. widespread)
Age and overall condition of the fence
Cost comparison between repair and replacement
Long-term objectives for your property
Budget considerations
Aesthetic concerns

As a general rule of thumb, if more than 30% of your fence needs repair, complete replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. However, each situation is unique, and we'll never recommend replacement when quality repairs can restore your fence's function and appearance at a lower cost.

Metal Fence Repair Cost Factors

The cost of metal fence repairs depends on various factors:

Type of metal fencing (chain link, ornamental steel, etc.)
Extent and nature of the damage
Accessibility of the repair area
Quality of the original installation
Current material costs
Additional improvements desired during repairs
Size of the affected area

Rather than providing generic pricing, we offer free, personalized estimates based on a thorough inspection of your specific situation. This approach ensures you receive accurate information relevant to your particular fence repair needs.

Preventative Maintenance for Metal Fences

After repairs are complete, proper maintenance will extend the life of your metal fence. Our team can provide guidance on maintenance practices specific to your fence type:

Regular inspection schedules
Cleaning recommendations
Rust prevention strategies
Hardware lubrication
Seasonal maintenance tasks
Professional maintenance services

Many of our customers appreciate learning about proper maintenance techniques that can help avoid costly repairs in the future.

Why Metal Fence Repair Can't Wait

Prevents rust and corrosion from spreading
Maintains security and containment functions
Preserves property value and curb appeal
Avoids potential liability from damaged fencing
Prevents small problems from becoming major repairs
Extends the overall lifespan of your fence investment

Our team can quickly assess your fence's condition and recommend appropriate solutions before minor damage becomes a major concern.

How long does metal fence repair typically take?

Most repairs can be completed in one day, depending on the extent of damage and length of fencing involved. More extensive repairs might require 2-3 days. We'll provide a timeline estimate as part of your quote.
