Elite Fence Repair & Replacement Services in Sugar Land, TX

You've noticed it for weeks now, maybe months. That section of your wood fence where the pickets are pulling away from the rails. The metal gate that scrapes concrete every time you try to open it. Or maybe it happened overnight, when last week's storm rolled through and took half your privacy fence with it.

Whatever brought you here, you're standing in your yard looking at a fence that's supposed to protect your property, keep your kids and pets safe, and maintain your home's curb appeal. Instead, it's doing none of those things. And if you're in a Sugar Land neighborhood with an HOA, you might already be counting down the days until that violation notice shows up in your mailbox.

Houston Fence Repair understands exactly what you're going through. For 20 years, we've been the team Sugar Land homeowners call when their fence needs help. We handle everything: wood fence repair, cedar and pine privacy fences, chain link installation, aluminum and iron fence restoration, metal gate repair... you name it. More importantly, we know the difference between a fence that needs a few new pickets and one that's ready to come down entirely. And we know how to fix it right the first time, using materials that can actually survive Houston's brutal humidity, summer heat, and unpredictable storm season.

We're not a national franchise or a lead-generation service that farms out your job to the lowest bidder. We're locally owned and operated, which means when you call us, you're talking to people who live in the same communities you do and understand what it takes to build a fence that lasts in this climate.

Our reputation comes down to something simple: we show up when we say we will, do the work we promised, and clean up after ourselves like we were working on our own property. After two decades in the fence repair business, we've learned that's not as common as it should be. We've also learned that most fence problems don't require starting from scratch. A rotting post can be replaced. A sagging gate can be re-hung. Storm-damaged panels can be rebuilt. And when a full replacement really is the best option, we'll walk you through exactly why, show you material options that fit your budget, and handle any permitting or HOA approvals you need.

You shouldn't have to become an expert on fence construction just to get your property back in shape. That's what we're here for.

The Fence Problems We Solve So For You

Fence problems don't announce themselves politely. Sometimes they sneak up on you... a little bit of rot at the base of a post that you don't notice until the whole section is leaning. Other times they arrive with dramatic flair, like when a summer thunderstorm tears through your neighborhood and leaves fence panels scattered across the lawn. Either way, you're left with a decision to make, and most homeowners don't know where to start.

Do you try to fix it yourself with lumber from the hardware store? Call a handyman and hope they know what they're doing? Or bite the bullet and replace the whole thing, even though most of it still looks fine?

Here's what we see most often:

Weather damage hits privacy fences hard in Sugar Land. Our humidity makes wood swell and contract, loosening fasteners and splitting boards. Whether it's cedar or pine, the sun bleaches and dries out lumber until it cracks. And when hurricane season rolls around, even a tropical storm can turn a solid fence into kindling if it wasn't built to handle high winds. We're out every year helping homeowners who thought their fence was fine until thirty-mile-per-hour gusts proved otherwise.

Then there's the slow decay that comes from time and moisture. If you have a wood privacy fence, especially pressure-treated pine, you've probably noticed the bottom few inches of your pickets turning dark and soft. That's rot, and it spreads. It starts where the wood contacts the soil or sits in standing water, and it works its way up. Posts are even more vulnerable because they're buried underground where moisture is constant. A fence might look perfectly fine from the outside, but if the posts are rotting below the soil line, the whole structure is compromised. We've seen fences that looked solid until someone leaned on them and the entire section just folded over.

Chain link fences are durable, but they're not indestructible. Rust along the bottom rail, bent posts from vehicle impact, torn fabric from falling branches... these issues compromise both security and appearance.

Metal fencing presents its own challenges. Aluminum is lightweight and rust-resistant, but sections can bend or separate at the joints. Iron fences are beautiful and secure, but prone to rust in our humid climate, especially where the protective coating has been scratched or worn away. And metal gates? They take constant stress from opening and closing. A gate that won't latch properly defeats the entire purpose of having a fence.

There are also the purely functional headaches: gates that won't stay closed, hinges rusted through, sections separating because the original installer didn't account for ground settling. And if you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, you're dealing with a whole other layer of pressure. Sugar Land is full of master-planned communities with strict guidelines about fence height, color, style, and condition. An old, weathered fence isn't just an eyesore; it's a potential violation that can lead to fines. We've helped dozens of homeowners navigate HOA approval processes, making sure the work meets community standards before the first board is cut.
