Restore the Boundary That Keeps Everything In Place

Fence repair and replacement services for residential and commercial properties in Turlock, California.

When fence boards split, posts lean after a storm, or entire sections sag under their own weight, you lose the structure that defines your property line and keeps animals, equipment, or foot traffic where they belong in your Turlock home or business. Fencing in the Central Valley takes constant stress from sun exposure, wind, and ground movement, and wood fences especially show wear along the bottom rails where moisture accumulates and fasteners pull loose. A failing fence doesn't just look neglected—it stops functioning as a barrier and often violates property agreements or livestock containment requirements.

Barnett handyman pressure washing services handles repair and replacement of residential and commercial fencing, including wood fences and other common materials used throughout Turlock. The work addresses broken or rotted boards, leaning or cracked posts, damaged gates, and full section replacements where the structure can no longer be salvaged. Repairs restore function and appearance, while replacements provide a new installation built to withstand outdoor wear and improve both security and curb appeal.

How Fences Are Fixed or Rebuilt from Scratch

Repair work begins with an inspection of posts, rails, and boards to determine which components are salvageable and which need replacement in your Turlock property. Loose boards are reattached with galvanized screws or nails, leaning posts are straightened and braced with additional concrete, and rotted sections are cut out and replaced with matching material. For full replacements, old fencing is removed, post holes are dug to the correct depth, and new posts are set in concrete before rails and boards are installed in level, evenly spaced runs.

After the work is complete, you'll see boards that align vertically without gaps or twisting, posts that stand plumb and resist lateral pressure, and gates that swing freely without dragging on the ground. The fence follows the property line consistently, holds its height across the entire run, and contains animals or foot traffic without bowing or shifting under normal use.

The service is designed for homes, farms, and small commercial properties where fencing serves a functional purpose beyond decoration, and it includes both cosmetic repairs and structural rebuilds. Chain link, vinyl, and ornamental metal fences are supported depending on material availability, but wood remains the most common material for rural and suburban installations in Turlock.

Here's what you'll want to know first

Property owners in Turlock often ask about materials, timing, and how to decide between repairing a damaged fence and replacing it entirely.

What tools are used to set fence posts?
A post hole digger or auger, level, and tamping bar are used to dig holes at least two feet deep and set posts in concrete or compacted gravel. The post is braced and checked for plumb before the concrete cures.
How long does a wood fence last in Turlock?
A properly installed wood fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance, but exposure to irrigation runoff, ground moisture, and sun can shorten that lifespan. Painting or staining the wood every few years slows rot and extends durability.
When should I replace a fence instead of repairing it?
You should replace a fence when more than half the posts are rotted or leaning, when boards break repeatedly across multiple sections, or when the entire structure has shifted out of alignment. Repairing scattered damage is cost-effective, but widespread failure means the fence has reached the end of its functional life.
What type of wood is best for fencing?
Cedar and redwood resist rot better than pine or fir, but pressure-treated pine is the most common choice for posts and rails because it handles ground contact and costs less. Boards can be untreated if they're installed above the soil line and maintained regularly.
Why do fences near farms in Turlock fail faster?
Irrigation overspray, standing water, and livestock pressure accelerate rot, loosen fasteners, and weaken posts at the ground line. Fences in agricultural areas also face more impacts from equipment, animals, and wind exposure across open fields.
