Considerations before Replacing or Repairing a Fence
Dec 02, 2019

There will always come a time when you will need to either repair or replace your fence, regardless of what fencing material you have. Replacing or repairing your fence is a great way of improving your property’s look and market value and the overall safety and security of your home. The process should be given a lot of thought, as it entails some work which may require the expertise of Houston fence installers like what our team offers here at FenceKeeper. There are several things you need to consider before you finally decide to proceed with the project.

Repair or Replace?

Repairing is more cost-effective, although at times this may not always be the case, especially if the fence needs a lot of work. When the root cause of why the fence disintegrates faster than it should is not addressed, that only leads to another repair in the future.

For instance, if the fence material is of poor quality, and you salvage it by repairing the decayed parts, the fence will still continue to fall apart. In this case, it should be replaced. This is where the opinion of professional fence builders in Houston, TX comes in handy. Give us a call; we will do the necessary inspection and tell you what we think.

Fence Material

When choosing the best fence material, there are several factors that come to play such as the budget, the overall style of the house and its landscaping, the purpose, and the desired aesthetics. At FenceKeeper, we cater to wooden fences as they are very durable, long lasting and naturally beautiful. We also offer the best types of wood with staining service that will protect your fence from the damaging effects of the sun, rain, snow and other external elements. There are several other materials you can choose from such as aluminum, vinyl and the like. You simply have to carefully consider the factors mentioned earlier.

Local Laws, Permits and Property Lines

You need to check with your local authorities if a permit is required before installing a fence or repairing an existing one. Inquire about height restrictions, distance from other properties or from the street, and other necessary specifications.This also goes without saying that you should check with your local Homeowner’s Association (HOA) for the same guidelines and property lines to avoid legal issues and expensive fees, or even risk the taking down of your fence.
