Evaluate the Fence Repair Needs

To begin with, you need to assess the particular issues you have with your fencing. That means identifying areas of damage, rotting posts, loose boards or/and any other issues that require the attention of a professional.

Also, you should take this time to determine whether minor repairs are needed, a more extensive restoration or a mix of both (if you have multiple fences in need of different levels of repairs).

Utilise Online Directories

There are a couple of ways you can use our services to find local fence companies/contractors near you. One way is by utilising the MyJobQuote online fencing company directory.

This online directory can give you access to the profiles of different fence repair services in your area. You can then compare their reviews, ratings and any photos showcasing the quality of their previous fence repair work.

With these details at your disposal, you can make an informed decision when choosing to hire.

Verify Credentials

Next, whatever approach you’re taking, be sure that any fence repair services you’re considering are licensed and insured.

Licensing can provide you the comfort of knowing that they are qualified to perform fencing repairs. Insurance, on the other hand, provides protection for you and the fencing repair contractors/services you’re considering should any property damage or accident during the repair work.

Beyond that, take this chance to request references from past clients regardless of what approach you’re trying to find a fence repairer near you. This way, you can assess their levels of professionalism and quality of work.

What Can Fence Repair Services Do?

Here is a list of jobs a fence repair service may provide:

  • Minor fence repairs
  • Extensive fence restoration
  • Fence replacement

Any given fence repair service may offer some or all of the tasks listed above, while others may offer some or all tasks mentioned and others (not listed).

Request Multiple Quotes

While you can use our online fencing company directory to secure quotes from professional fence repair services/contractors near you, you could alternatively use the MyJobQuote quote form.

By completing the form and submitting an application, you can secure quotes from various local fence repair services. In either case, you want to request detailed quotes for your specific repair needs.

In order to utilise the MyJobQuote quote form, take the following steps:

  • Open our quote form web page and select ‘I need a job doing’.
  • Choose ‘None of the above’ and then select ‘None of the above’ once more.
  • On the ‘Tell us about your job’ section, fill out the details of the specific fence repair work you need before clicking on ‘Continue’.
  • Fill out the remaining steps and submit your application.
  • Wait to receive quotes from various professionals before deciding who to hire.

Once you’ve received quotes, it’s best to compare details of each (e.g. pricing, services offered and any special promotions or discounts available). This way, you can make an informed decision when deciding who you'd like to hire.

Seek Recommendations

Along with using either our online fencing company directory or the MyJobQuote quote form, you might wish to also seek personal referrals.

This could mean asking friends, family members, neighbours, local community members or work colleagues for recommendations on fence repair services they’ve used. The main upside of personal referrals is that they often lead to reliable services.

Discuss Repair Methods

Once you have several fence repair contractors/companies in mind, you should inquire about their repair methods and the materials they use for different types of fencing to ensure they offer the repairs and materials required for your fence repair needs.

Beyond that, you should ask each of the fence repairers you’re considering about their experience with different fence styles and their approach to addressing specific fence repair challenges.

Confirm Availability and Timeline

Next, you should choose your number one preference fence repair service/contractor based on the criteria mentioned earlier (i.e. criteria, previous work, online reviews/ratings and details of their quotes such as pricing).

Once you’ve decided who you’d like to hire, you’ll want to ensure that their schedule aligns with your project deadline (particularly if your specific deadlines or events are planned at your property, such as a garden party). You’ll also want to take this chance to discuss the estimated duration of the repair process.

It’s important to note that delays can occur, so keep this in mind if you have specific deadlines or events planned, although in most cases, this shouldn’t prove an issue.

Also, aside from unexpected delays, if your number one preferred fence repair service/contractor does not offer a schedule or/and timeline that works for you to begin with, you might want to move on to checking the schedule/timeline of your second and third preferences. Alternatively, you could wait till a later date and time when your number one preference is available.

Clarify Service Terms

Finally, you should request a written service agreement from the fence repair service provider you wish to hire. This agreement should outline pricing, payment terms, any applicable guarantees or warranties and the scope of work.

Also, you should take this chance to communicate your expectations regarding the final appearance and functionality of the repaired fence.

Monitor the Repair Process

As for the work itself, it’s a good idea to remain engaged during the fence repair process and periodically check their progress.

More specifically, for engagement, you should ensure any questions or concerns you have are addressed. With that said, it’s best to raise questions and concerns before the work begins or when the fence repairer is on a break unless, of course, it’s urgent.

If any unforeseen issues arise during the repair (e.g. additional damage is discovered, or replacement parts are needed), it’s good to discuss this with the service/contractor performing the work. This is partly because you’ll want to know if you’d need to pay more for the extra work or if it might be covered by the initial cost.
