Fence & deck repair in Buffalo, NY.

Leaning posts, rotten boards, storm damage, sagging gates, and full restaining. We repair any fence or deck — regardless of who installed it — with the same quality as a new installation.

What we fix

Every type of fence & deck repair.

Leaning or Fallen Posts

The most common fence repair in Buffalo — frost heave or rotten base. We dig out, reset, and concrete the post back to plumb.

Rotten or Damaged Boards

Individual board replacement for wood fences and decks. We match the existing wood species and stain color as closely as possible.

Gate Repairs

Sagging gates, broken hinges, misaligned latches, and gate frames that no longer close square — all fixable without full replacement.

Storm Damage

Wind, ice, or fallen tree damage. We assess the full run, replace only what's needed, and match the existing fence or deck style.

Deck Board Replacement

Cupped, cracked, splintered, or rotten deck boards replaced individually or in sections. We match composite or wood species.

Railing Repair

Wobbly posts, broken balusters, failed rail connections — all repaired to code for safety and appearance.

Restaining & Sealing

Full cleaning, prep, and fresh stain or sealer application for wood fences and decks. Dramatically extends lifespan.

Full Restoration

For fences and decks that are structurally sound but worn — we strip, sand, repair, and refinish the entire surface.

Warning signs

Signs your fence or deck needs attention now.

  • Fence posts leaning more than 2–3 degrees
  • Boards cracking, splitting, or showing soft spots
  • Gate that no longer latches or swings freely
  • Deck boards cupping, warping, or developing splinters
  • Railings that wobble or feel loose underfoot
  • Wood that’s grayed, weathered, or not shedding water
  • Rust stains running from metal hardware
  • Any visible rot at post bases or board ends

Catching problems early is always cheaper than waiting for full failure. A free estimate costs nothing.

Restaining & sealing

Make your fence or deck look brand new.

Restaining is the single best investment you can make in an aging wood fence or deck. A proper clean, prep, and fresh coat extends life by 5–10 years and dramatically improves curb appeal — for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Cleaning & Prep

Pressure washing, brightener treatment, and light sanding to open the wood grain before staining.

Stain Application

Semi-transparent or solid oil-based stains applied with brush and roller for deep penetration.

Sealing

Clear water-repellent sealer applied over bare or previously stained wood for moisture protection.

Restaining vs. Replacing

Restaining cost

$3–$6 per linear foot (fence) · $2–$5 per sqft (deck)

Replacement cost

$35–$65 per linear foot (fence) · $25–$70 per sqft (deck)

Life extension

5–10 additional years with proper restaining

Best candidate

Structurally sound wood that’s weathered, gray, or not repelling water

Repair FAQ

How much does fence repair cost in Buffalo, NY?

Minor fence repairs (single post reset, a few boards replaced) typically run $150–$500. Gate repairs run $100–$350. More extensive repairs or storm damage can run $500–$2,000+. We provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what's involved before committing.

Is it worth repairing or should I just replace?

If the posts are structurally sound and more than 50% of the fence is in good condition, repair almost always makes more sense than replacement. If the majority of posts are rotten or the fence is more than 20 years old, a full replacement may be more cost-effective long-term. We give you an honest assessment — not a sales pitch.

How soon can you come out for a repair?

For urgent repairs (fallen fence, safety hazard), we aim for same-week visits. For non-urgent repairs, typical scheduling is within 7–14 days. Call us directly for fastest scheduling: (888) 929-0277

Do you repair fences and decks installed by other companies?

Yes, absolutely. We repair any fence or deck regardless of who installed it. We'll assess the situation honestly and tell you what's fixable vs. what needs replacement.

How often should I restain my wood fence or deck?

Most wood fences and decks in Buffalo benefit from restaining every 2–4 years. Signs it's time: water no longer beads on the surface, wood looks gray or silver, or boards feel dry and rough. Regular maintenance dramatically extends the life of wood fencing and decking.
