Common Fence Problems We Repair in Long Beach area
Whether your fence was damaged by wind, moisture, age, or impact, Sebastian Sliding Doors handles all types of fence repair across OC. Here's what we see most often. If the damage is extensive enough to warrant a full rebuild, see our fence installation service for material options and pricing.
Broken or Split Fence Boards Individual boards crack from impact, dry rot, or UV degradation. We replace only the damaged boards and match the existing wood species and profile for a seamless look.
Leaning or Tilted Fence Sections A fence that's leaning more than a few degrees has a failed post base. We excavate, reset the post in new concrete, and brace the panel back to vertical.
Rotted Posts at Ground Level The most common structural failure in OC wood fences. We use a post-sister method or full post replacement with pressure-treated material and proper concrete collars to prevent recurrence.
Damaged or Rotted Rails Horizontal rails bear the weight of fence boards and take the brunt of wind load. We replace individual rails without dismantling the entire fence panel.
Storm & Wind Damage Downey wind events can knock down entire fence sections. We offer priority storm-repair scheduling — call us immediately after a storm for fastest response across OC.
Partial vs. Full Fence Repair: How We Decide
One of the most common questions we get is: "Should I repair my fence or replace it?" Here's our honest assessment framework:
Situation
Recommendation
1–3 damaged boards or one post
Partial repair — cost-effective, quick turnaround
30%+ of fence has rot or damage
Full replacement is more economical long-term
Fence is 15+ years old, widespread softness
Replacement recommended; repair is a short-term fix
Storm knocked down 1–2 panels
Panel and post repair — most fences salvageable
Single leaning section, rest of fence solid
Post reset — straightforward repair, no replacement needed
We'll give you an honest assessment during our free estimate — we never push full replacement when a repair will do the job.
Post Replacement & Straightening Process
Replacing or straightening a rotted post is the most structural part of fence repair. Here's our process:
1
Assess post condition above and below grade We probe for soft spots and check how deep the rot extends before recommending a post-sister repair vs. full post replacement.
2
Excavate and remove the damaged post base Old concrete and post stub are removed cleanly. The hole is widened slightly to allow a proper concrete collar.
3
Set new pressure-treated post, plumb and level A new 4×4 or 6×6 pressure-treated post is set at the proper depth (⅓ of total length), checked on two axes, and temporarily braced.
4
Pour concrete with sloped collar for drainage Concrete is poured and shaped into a crown that sheds water away from the post base — the most important rot-prevention detail.
5
Reattach rails and boards after cure We allow 24 hours for concrete to cure before transferring the fence panel back to the new post and fastening all components securely.

In many cases, yes. If the lean is caused by a loose or rotted post, we can often excavate the base, reposition the post, pack it with new concrete, and brace it until cured. If the post has rotted below grade, post replacement is necessary. We assess each fence individually at no charge — call (562) 555-0000.
We use a post-sister technique: a new pressure-treated post is set in fresh concrete directly alongside the damaged one, and the fence rail is transferred to the new post. This avoids removing the entire fence run and dramatically reduces cost. It's effective when rot is confined to one or two posts.
Fence repair in OC typically ranges from $150 to $800 depending on scope. A broken board repair starts around $150; replacing multiple posts with new concrete footings can reach $600–$800. We provide a flat-rate written quote before any work begins — no surprises.
Leaning fences are usually caused by post rot at or below grade, inadequate concrete footings, soil erosion, or tree roots displacing the base. In OC's clay-heavy soils, seasonal expansion and contraction can also gradually push posts out of plumb over several years.
We do our best to match existing materials — cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine. New wood will be slightly different in color until it weathers, but we use the same species, board width, and profile. For vinyl and metal fences, we source matching panels and hardware from our supplier network.
We offer priority scheduling for storm-damaged fences. After a major Downey wind event, we typically respond within 24–48 hours. Call (562) 555-0000 as soon as damage occurs — we triage by severity and schedule the fastest available appointment.
