Fence Repair in Northern Virginia, DC & Maryland
Franklin Services LLC repairs wood and vinyl fences for homeowners across the DMV — Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Springfield, Washington DC, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville, and Gaithersburg. Call (240) 714-6330.
Fences fail from the ground up. A leaning section almost always traces back to a post — rotted at the soil line or heaved by frost — and fixing the post fixes the fence. We reset and replace fence posts (properly set in concrete), replace broken pickets and rails, rehang sagging gates, and repair storm damage on wood and vinyl fences.
Gates deserve their own mention because they're the part of the fence you actually use. A gate that drags, won't latch, or needs a lift-and-shove to close is usually fixable in a single visit: new hinges, a corrected post, or a tension adjustment.
After a windstorm, call sooner rather than later — a leaning section pulls on its neighbors, and one bad post becomes three. We can often secure a damaged section temporarily the same week and complete the full repair after.
If your fence is at the property line, we'll work cleanly and respectfully on both sides — good fences and good neighbors both matter.
Fence Repair — frequently asked questions
My fence is leaning — can it be straightened?
Usually yes, by resetting or replacing the affected posts. If the post is rotted at the ground, it needs replacement; if it's heaved or loose, it can often be reset in fresh concrete.
Can you match my existing fence style?
For common styles (picket, board-on-board, privacy panels) yes — new wood will look lighter until it weathers or is stained to match.
How long does a post replacement take?
Setting a post in concrete is a same-day job, but the concrete needs to cure before the fence section and gate are rehung — typically we return after a day or two to finish.
Do you repair vinyl fences?
Yes — cracked panels, broken rails, and gate hardware on vinyl systems can usually be replaced piece-by-piece if the profile is still made.
