Fence repairs in Ann Arbor tend to come in two waves. The first is in spring, when the frost leaves the ground and owners find posts that have lifted, gates that no longer close and sections leaning toward the neighbor. The second follows summer thunderstorms, when limbs come down from the big oaks and maples that cover so much of the city. We handle both, on wood, vinyl, chain link and metal fences.
We start by checking the posts, because a panel can only be as straight as what holds it. A wood post that is soft at the soil line or a footing that rocks in its hole gets replaced, and the new one goes below frost depth. Sound panels are rehung. Where a tree has crushed a section, we replace that stretch and match height and style as closely as current stock allows. An exact match is not always possible on an older fence, and we say so before starting.
Rental houses near campus are a steady source of repair work: gates pulled off their hinges, pickets kicked out, chain link bent by parked cars. For landlords we can write up a simple scope with photos. If more of the fence is failing than is worth fixing, we tell you plainly and price both the repair and the replacement.
Fence repair in Ann Arbor: common questions
Can you repair just one section?
Yes, when the posts on each side of it are firm. If the lean runs down the whole line, the posts were set too shallow and a single-section repair will not last.
A limb from the tree on the city strip fell on my fence. What should I do?
Take photos before anything is moved and contact your insurer. Ask the city about the tree itself. We can give you an itemized repair estimate for the claim.
How soon can you come out?
Call or text a photo and tell us if a dog, a pool or a street is exposed. Urgent openings can often be closed with a temporary panel first, with the full repair to follow.
