Fence Repair FAQ for Burlington Homeowners

How often should Burlington homeowners get fence repair?
Given Burlington's very cold winters averaging 18°f with 80+ inches of annual snowfall, most homeowners benefit from fence repair at least once a year. Heavy snow removal from roofs (December–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Burlington most need fence repair?
Federal and Greek Revival homes in Burlington's Hill Section and Victorian homes in the Old North End are the most common home types in Burlington and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Can a leaning fence be fixed without replacing it?
Often yes. Leaning fences are usually caused by post failure, not the fence panels themselves. Resetting or sistering the posts often restores a fence to like-new condition.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my fence?
If the posts and structure are sound, repairs make sense. If the majority of posts are rotted, the fence was cheaply built, or it's over 15–20 years old with widespread damage, replacement may be more economical.
Can you match my existing fence materials?
We stock common fence materials and can source matching boards and pickets. Aged wood may not match exactly in color, though staining after repairs can unify the appearance.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover fence damage from a storm?
Many homeowner's policies cover fence damage from storms, falling trees, and other covered perils. We can provide documentation to support your insurance claim.
