Fence & Gate Repair in Madison, MS

Common fence problems in Madison yards

Wood fences in central Mississippi go through a lot. Humidity, rain and summer heat warp boards and loosen fasteners. Gates are usually the first thing to fail: a gate that drags on the ground or won’t latch is almost always a hinge, frame or post problem. Many Madison neighborhoods also have HOA rules on fence height, style and color, so repairs need to match what’s already there.

• Sagging or dragging gates re-hung and re-squared
• New hinges, latches and gate hardware
• Broken, rotted or missing boards replaced
• Loose rails re-fastened or replaced
• Leaning sections (we’ll check whether the post can be reset or needs replacing)
• Storm-damage repairs to fence sections

Custom fences and gates

We also build custom privacy fences and gates. The one in the photo uses vertical cedar boards in a black steel frame with fleur-de-lis finials. A steel frame keeps a wide gate from sagging the way an all-wood gate can. If you want something similar, or a gate to match an existing fence, send photos and rough measurements.

Before you replace a fence

New fences and big changes to height or style may need HOA approval, and in some cases a permit. Check with your HOA and the City of Madison before you commit to a replacement. We can provide the scope details you need for the application. For simple repairs that match what’s there, approval usually isn’t an issue.
