Fix Fence Damage Before It Gets Worse

Casey Dollar Fences, Decks, & More repairs broken panels, leaning posts, and gate issues in Citrus Springs, Florida.

When a fence panel cracks during a storm, a gate starts dragging on the ground, or posts lean because the soil shifted, you need repairs that address the cause and restore function without unnecessary replacement. In Citrus Springs, fence damage often results from high winds, moisture exposure, and sandy soil that allows posts to move over time. Casey Dollar Fences, Decks, & More repairs broken sections, reinforces weak posts, and fixes gates so they close properly, using techniques that extend the life of your existing fence when full replacement is not yet necessary.

This service includes evaluation of the damage, replacement of broken panels or rails, post reinforcement or resetting, and gate hardware repair or adjustment. The team works with a wide range of fence styles and materials, addressing issues specific to how the fence was originally installed and what caused the damage. Repairs in Citrus Springs frequently involve resetting posts that have shifted in loose soil, replacing sun-damaged panels, and adjusting gates that no longer latch due to ground movement or hinge wear. The work is tailored to the condition of your fence and completed to restore stability and appearance.

How Repairs Restore Function and Appearance

The crew inspects the damaged area to determine whether the issue is isolated or part of a larger structural problem. In Citrus Springs, that often means checking post depth, soil conditions, and whether water pooling or ground shifting contributed to the damage. Repairs may involve pulling and resetting posts in fresh concrete, replacing cracked or warped panels, or adjusting gate hardware so hinges and latches align properly again.

After repairs are complete, the fence will stand upright without leaning, panels will fit securely without gaps, and gates will open and close smoothly without sticking or sagging. You will notice that the repaired section matches the rest of the fence in appearance and performs as it did when first installed. The work is done to blend with the existing structure, not to stand out as a patch.

This service focuses on fixing the specific damage rather than upgrading the entire fence, though recommendations will be made if other sections show signs of wear that could lead to future problems. Repairs do not include painting, staining, or decorative upgrades unless requested separately. The goal is to restore function quickly and affordably, giving you more time before a full replacement becomes necessary.

It helps to know what repairs can actually fix

Homeowners in Citrus Springs often want to know whether a fence can be repaired or if replacement is the only option, and what to expect during the repair process. These answers address the most common questions.

What types of fence damage can be repaired?
Broken panels, leaning or loose posts, damaged rails, and malfunctioning gates can usually be repaired if the surrounding structure is still sound. The crew will assess whether the damage is isolated or part of a larger issue during the evaluation.
How long do fence repairs take?
Most repairs in Citrus Springs are completed in a few hours to one day depending on the extent of the damage and whether posts need to be reset in concrete. You will receive a time estimate after the initial inspection.
Why do posts lean after storms in Citrus Springs?
Sandy soil does not hold posts as firmly as clay or compacted earth, and high winds can shift posts that were not set deep enough or anchored with adequate concrete. Repairs involve resetting posts at the proper depth with concrete mixed to resist future movement.
When is it better to replace instead of repair?
If the majority of the fence shows rot, if multiple posts are failing, or if the structure is leaning along several sections, replacement is often more practical. The team will recommend the most cost-effective option during the evaluation.
What should I do if my gate drags on the ground?
A dragging gate usually means the hinges have shifted, the post has leaned, or the ground has settled unevenly. The crew can adjust or replace the hardware, reset the post if needed, and ensure the gate swings freely and latches securely.
