Privacy Fence Repair in McKinney, TX
A privacy fence only does its job when it stands plumb and has no gaps. Repairs usually mean addressing the structural cause first — a failed post or washed-out footing — before touching the panels. Slapping new boards over a leaning post just delays the next failure by a season or two.

How It Works
Our Process for Privacy Fence Repair
- 1
Describe the Damage
Call (469) 396-0135 and tell us how many panels are down or damaged and what the fence is made of. Wood, vinyl, and composite privacy fences fail differently and need different approaches.
- 2
Site Evaluation
We check post depth, footing condition, and whether the rails have twisted or split. A bowed fence line often means several posts shifted, not just one. We mark every compromised post.
- 3
Scope Agreement
We give you a written count of posts, panels, and rails needing work. We also flag anything that's borderline — close to failing but not there yet — so you can decide whether to address it now.
- 4
Structural Repair First
Posts come out before any panel work starts. We reset them plumb, brace them while concrete cures, and don't rush this step. A panel attached to a wet post footing will shift.
- 5
Panel and Rail Reinstallation
We reattach salvageable panels and replace boards that are cracked, cupped, or missing. Rails get replaced if they've twisted or snapped. Spacing between boards gets corrected if the fence lost its uniformity.
- 6
Line Check and Cleanup
We step back and sight down the fence line before calling it done. Debris and pulled materials get loaded and hauled. You shouldn't have to deal with any of that.
What's included
- Post removal, new concrete footings, and reset to plumb
- Replacement fence boards and rails in matching material
- Reinstallation of salvageable existing panels where structurally sound
- Debris removal including old boards, concrete chunks, and hardware
- Alignment check on the full repaired section before crew leaves
What's not included
- Painting or staining the repaired section after work is complete
- Repairs to utility lines, irrigation heads, or landscaping disturbed during post work
- Full fence replacement if more than half the posts have failed
Real Situations
Common Scenarios in McKinney
A McKinney homeowner comes home after a severe thunderstorm to find three privacy fence panels blown flat into the neighbor's yard.
We assess whether the posts snapped or pulled out of the ground — those are different repairs. Snapped posts mean the footings may still be usable. Pulled-out posts mean the original concrete was undersized or the soil gave way. We fix the actual cause, reset posts, and reinstall or replace the panels.
A rental property manager gets a tenant complaint about a privacy fence that's bowing outward along a 40-foot run.
A bow that long usually means two or three posts have shifted, not just one. We probe the line, identify every failing post, and reset them in sequence. We also check the rails — they often twist when posts move and need replacement even if the boards look okay.
A homeowner's fence sits on a slope and the bottom has lifted away from the ground, leaving a foot-wide gap under two panels.
Sloped lots need fence panels installed to follow the grade or stepped down in sections. We determine which approach works for that specific yard and reset the panels accordingly. Sometimes this means resetting posts at a different height, which changes the scope slightly.
McKinney Context
Why this matters in McKinney
McKinney has seen rapid development across rolling terrain, and a lot of privacy fences were built on sloped lots with minimal attention to grade changes. Those fences gap at the bottom early. The wind exposure in open subdivisions west of US-75 also puts long fence runs under real lateral stress during spring storms. Many privacy fences built during the 2000s growth boom are now at the age where original posts and rails are failing together.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Fence length and post spacing set the baseline, but soil conditions and what we find when we pull existing posts can shift the scope. A post that looks stable above ground sometimes has a completely deteriorated footing below. We won't charge for posts we didn't agree to upfront without talking to you first. Grade changes along the fence line can also add time.
