Most fences don't need to be torn down — they need the right sections fixed. If you're searching for fence repair near me from a Dodgeville or Iowa County address, you're in our regular service area, and repair is almost always cheaper than replacement.
Nine times out of ten, a leaning fence in southwest Wisconsin traces back to a single failed post — frost heave, rot at the concrete line, or a footing that was never deep enough. We dig it out, reset it properly, plumb the run, and re-secure the panels or pickets so the whole fence lines back up.
We also handle broken pickets and rails, sagging or dragging gates, rehung and re-squared gate frames, hardware swaps, and storm-damage repair. Wood, cedar, picket, and vinyl — all of it.
Local to Dodgeville, WI. We serve homeowners across Iowa County including Mineral Point, Barneveld, Ridgeway, Highland, Cobb, Linden, Rewey, and Arena. Free written estimates, and we'll tell you honestly if a section is past the point of repair.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does fence repair cost in Southwest Wisconsin?
- Most fence repairs in the Dodgeville and Iowa County area run $150–$800. A single post reset is typically $150–$275, picket or board replacement runs $8–$20 per board installed, gate rebuilds are usually $200–$500, and multi-post storm damage lands higher. Every job gets a written estimate before we start — no surprises.
- How long does a typical fence repair take?
- Small repairs — a couple of pickets, hardware, a single gate — are usually done in a half-day. A post reset with concrete takes one day on-site plus 24–48 hours for the footing to cure before we re-tension the panels. Larger multi-post or storm jobs run 2–4 days.
- How soon can you schedule a repair?
- For homeowners in Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Barneveld, Ridgeway, Highland, and the surrounding Iowa County towns, we typically schedule within 1–2 weeks depending on the season. Storm damage and safety issues (fallen fences on property lines, unsafe gates) get prioritized.
- What materials do you use for repairs in Southwest Wisconsin?
- We match what's already on your fence when possible. Standard stock is pressure-treated pine for posts and rails, cedar or PT pickets, galvanized or stainless hardware rated for Wisconsin winters, and Sakrete or Quikrete high-strength concrete for footings. For vinyl fences we source matching panels and posts through local suppliers.
- Why do fences fail so often in this area?
- Southwest Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycle is hard on fences. Water gets into the wood at the concrete line, freezes, and lifts or rots the post — that's the #1 cause of leaning fences we see in Iowa County. Proper post depth (below the frost line), gravel drainage under the footing, and sealed cuts make repairs last.
- Do you repair wood and vinyl fences?
- Both. Wood privacy, cedar, picket, split-rail, and vinyl — we handle post resets, board and picket replacement, rail repair, and gate hardware on all of them.
- Can you fix a leaning or sagging fence without replacing it?
- Usually, yes. Leaning fences almost always trace back to a failed post or footing. We reset or replace the post, plumb the run, and re-secure the pickets or panels — no need to tear down what's still solid.
- Do I need a permit to repair a fence in Dodgeville or Iowa County?
- Repairs to an existing fence typically don't require a permit in Dodgeville or most Iowa County townships, as long as you're not changing the height or property line. New sections or replacements may require a permit — we handle that coordination as part of the job.
- Do you offer free estimates?
- Yes. Estimates are always free for fence repair anywhere in our Iowa County service area. Call, text, or email and we'll get back to you as soon as we're off the job site.
