What Breaks Fences in Marion County
The same few things cause most of the repair calls we get around Ocala:
- Tree limbs. Live oaks and laurel oaks drop heavy limbs in storms. When Hurricane Milton passed in 2024, downed trees were reported across the county.
- Rotted posts. Wood posts in damp sand rot at the ground line, and the fence starts to lean.
- Shallow posts. Posts cut short when an installer hit rock are the first to tip.
- Animals. Horses lean and chew, dogs dig, and cattle push.
- Mowers and vehicles. A trailer that cuts a corner can flatten a gate post.

Repairs are priced by what's damaged, not by the foot.

Repair or Replace?
We'll give you a straight answer. Repair usually wins when damage is limited to a few posts, panels or boards and the rest of the fence is sound. Replacement is usually better value when:
- Posts are failing all along the line, not in one spot
- More than about a quarter of the fence is damaged or rotting
- Your vinyl style is discontinued and new panels won't match
- A wood fence is past 10 to 15 years and has never been sealed
- The fence is a pool barrier that no longer meets the state's rules
If it's time for a new fence, see fence replacement.
Fixing posts set too shallow
Around Ocala we often find posts that stop a foot or two down, because an earlier installer hit limestone and cut the post short instead of drilling. Those posts lean first in every storm. We drill through the rock and reset them at full depth in concrete, which usually solves the problem for good.
How a Repair Visit Works

Repairs by Fence Type
Vinyl
Panels often pop out of the rails in wind and go right back in. Cracked panels and broken rails can be replaced one at a time if the style is still made. A leaning section almost always means a loose post.
Wood
We replace rotted boards, split rails and posts broken at the ground with treated lumber and rust-resistant fasteners.
Aluminum
Bent pickets from limbs or mowers can be swapped, and pool gates get their self-closing hinges and latches adjusted so they pass inspection again.
Chain link and wire
We restretch sagging mesh and wire, replace bent top rails and rebuild failed corner braces on farm fence.
After a Storm: What to Do First
- Stay clear of lines. Report downed power lines to your utility, whether that's Ocala Electric Utility, Duke, SECO or Clay Electric.
- Secure the pool and animals. If the fence was a pool barrier or held livestock, block access until it's fixed.
- Take photos from several angles before anything is moved. Insurers ask for them.
- Save good pieces. Undamaged panels and boards can often go back up.
- Call for an estimate. We'll put the damage and repair price in writing for your claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix just one section of my fence?
Yes. Replacing a post, a panel or a few boards is one of our most common jobs.
Does insurance cover a fence damaged by a fallen tree?
Many homeowner policies cover fences under other structures, subject to your deductible and policy terms. Check with your insurer. We provide a written estimate for the claim.
Why do fence posts lean in Ocala?
Rot at the ground line, loose sand after heavy rain, and posts set too shallow because the installer hit limestone are the usual causes.
Do you repair fences another company built?
Yes. We repair vinyl, wood, aluminum, chain link and farm fence regardless of who installed it.
My pool gate won't latch. Can you fix it?
Yes, and it should be fixed right away. We adjust or replace hinges and latches so the gate self-closes and self-latches. See our pool fence rules for Ocala.
Do I need a permit to repair a fence?
Small repairs generally don't. Rebuilding a pool barrier or a fence in a historic district may need approval. We tell you which applies.
Can you repair farm fence after a tree falls on it?
Yes. We cut the fence free, replace broken boards, posts or wire, rebuild any failed brace and retension the line. If animals are in that pasture, we can put up a temporary fix the same visit so they stay contained.
