Why Amarillo Fences Fail Where They Do
After enough spring windstorms you start to see a pattern. Almost every fence we're called to fix in Amarillo failed in one of four places:
- Wood posts at the ground line. Years of watering and dry spells rot them right where they meet the soil, and a 50 mph gust snaps them.
- Shallow footings. Posts set in a little concrete in heavy clay work loose as the soil swells and shrinks.
- Gates. Wind slams gates against their stops until hinges pull loose and posts lean.
- Panels and pickets. Vinyl panels pop out of rails, and dry wood pickets split off their nails.
Fix the root cause and a repair lasts. Patch the boards without fixing the posts, and you'll see the same section on the ground next spring.

Repairs are priced by the job after we see the damage.
Every lot is different. Your free on-site estimate turns these ranges into one exact, written price. More detail in our Amarillo fence cost guide.
Repair or Replace?
We'd rather sell you a repair that lasts than a new fence you don't need. Repair usually makes sense when:
- The damage is limited to a few posts or one or two sections
- The boards, panels or pickets are still in decent shape
- Your material and style are still available to match
Replacement is usually the better value when:
- Wood posts are failing all along the line, not just in one spot
- More than about a quarter of the fence is down, rotted or split
- You've repaired the same fence after several windy seasons
- You want to switch to steel posts, a taller fence or a different material
If it's time, see fence replacement. Most of the time, swapping broken wood posts for steel buys a solid wood fence many more years.
How a Repair Visit Works
Fast, straightforward and in writing.
Send a photo
Call or use the form. A photo helps us bring the right posts, panels or hardware.
Free repair estimate
We check every post along the line, not just the broken ones, and give you a written price.
Locates if needed
New posts mean new holes, so we submit a Texas811 locate request first.
Repair and test
Posts reset or replaced, sections re-secured, gates adjusted and every latch tested.
After a Windstorm or Hail: What to Do First
- Stay clear of power lines that may have come down with the fence.
- Secure pets. A downed fence is how dogs end up across town.
- Take photos from several angles before anything is moved. Many homeowner policies cover fences as "other structures," subject to the deductible, so check with your insurer.
- Save loose panels and pickets. Undamaged pieces can often go back up, which keeps the repair affordable and matching.
- Call for a written estimate. We put it in writing so you can send it to your insurance company if you file a claim.
Repairs by Fence Type
Wood: broken posts replaced with steel, split pickets and rails swapped, gates rehung.
Vinyl: panels reseated, hail-cracked pickets and rails replaced, posts reinforced with steel inserts.
Chain link: fabric re-stretched, bent top rail and posts replaced, damaged sections spliced in.
Iron and pipe: bent pickets straightened or replaced, broken welds rewelded, leaning posts reset and repainted.
Gate problems are often a post problem. See gate repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix just the broken posts?
Yes. Replacing failed wood posts with steel and reattaching the existing fence is one of our most common Amarillo repairs.
Does homeowners insurance cover wind damage to a fence?
Many policies cover fences under other structures, subject to your deductible. Photograph the damage before anything is moved and check with your insurer. We'll give you a written estimate.
Do I need a permit to repair a fence?
Most fence work 8 ft or under needs no Amarillo permit. Repairs to a pool barrier always need one, and we handle it.
How fast can you come out after a storm?
We schedule repair estimates quickly, but calls spike after a big wind event, so reach out early.
Can you repair a fence someone else built?
Yes. We repair wood, vinyl, iron, chain link and pipe fences no matter who installed them.
My gate won't latch after the freeze. Why?
Clay soil heaves and settles with freezes and thaws, shifting the gate post. Resetting or reinforcing the post usually fixes it for good.
