Fence repair in Independence, MO.

Simple repairs (replace a couple boards, tighten a gate, straighten a post) run $200–$500. Post replacement is $145–$285 per post installed. Section rebuilds run $25–$45/lf. A typical storm repair — 3 posts, one gate, and 20 ft of new boards — runs $850–$1,800 in Independence.

Yes — section repair is almost always cheaper than full replacement. If less than 30% of your fence is damaged and the rest is structurally sound, partial repair usually makes sense. Above that, we quote both options so you can compare. We won't upsell a full replacement you don't need.

Most residential repairs are quoted within 48 hours and completed in a single day on site. Storm-damage jobs get priority scheduling. From signed quote to repair day is typically 3–7 days — faster than new installs because there's no permit lag on like-for-like repair.

No. Repair and like-for-like replacement of an existing fence does not require a permit in Independence. Full replacement, height change, or moving the fence line does require a permit — we pull it if the scope changes.

Yes. For wind, ice, tree-fall, and vehicle-impact damage we provide itemized written quotes with photos of the damage, cause notes, and material specs — everything an adjuster needs. We can bill your insurer directly on approved claims.

Usually yes. Leaning is almost always a post-footing failure — concrete cracked from freeze-thaw, post rotted at grade, or the ground shifted (common on Independence's clay soils). We reset or replace the post to 30 in depth with new concrete and re-attach the panels. Repair beats replacement unless multiple adjacent posts have failed.

Yes. We match cedar grade, board width, spacing, and cap style. New boards will start lighter than the weathered ones — we can stain them to match or let them weather naturally (usually 6–12 months to blend in Independence's climate).

Yes. Much of Independence sits on limestone shelf, especially around 24 Highway, Truman, and the older Fairmount area. We use pneumatic rock drills when needed and never skimp on hole depth — every replaced post goes to 30 in in concrete, rock or not.
