3 Reasons to Replace your Fence instead of Repairing
Sometimes repairing your fence isn’t the best thing for you or your wallet, if your fence has had to be repaired too often it might be a better idea to replace it. Especially if your fence needs constant repairs which are signs of hidden damage or poor workmanship it might be a lot cheaper to get it replaced.
Fences that pose safety hazards because of instability or deterioration may require much larger repairs to meet safety codes. Sometimes, these repairs can be more expensive than replacement, especially if you consider the potential liability costs.
If a most of the fence is damaged from weather, rot, pests, or decay, repairing each damaged section may end up costing more than installing a new fence.

What is Fence Replacement?
When your fence is beyond repair fence replacement is the best option. This is done by taking all your fence out, posts, concrete, pickets and then installing a brand new fence. Once the fence is installed then you take away all the old material and debris, clean up the area and your new fence can last up to 18 years.
Who should pay for fence replacement?
Thanks to the California Fence Act, neighbors share the responsibility and costs of constructing, maintaining, repairing or replacing shared fences. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, so communication is key to any fence replacement on a shared fence.
Is fence replacement covered by insurance?
When disaster strikes, whether it was fires, windstorms, even vandalism or damage from cars. Your fence replacement could be covered by your insurance. But if your fence was destroyed due to wear and tear or lack of upkeep? That’s on you. Review your policy to make sure its covered and check out your local laws that might help you out and save you thousands on your fence replacement.
When should you replace your fence post?
First up, how do you know it's time for a change? A simple inspection can reveal a lot. Look out for these signs:
Rotting at the Base: Rotting is one of the most common issues and will need to have the post replaced unless you want your fence falling causing further damage. Leaning Posts: If your fence looks like it's trying to escape, it's a sign that the foundation isn't holding up. Looseness: A sturdy post shouldn't wobble. If it does, it's not doing its job. Cracks: Large cracks compromise the strength of your fence.Remember, the fence post is the cornerstone of a strong fence. Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger issues down the line.
