Tips and Tricks for Wood Fence Repair

Well-maintained exterior fencing adds value and beauty to anyone's home. To ensure you have a fence you'll love for years to come, we're sharing a few tips and tricks where fence repair is concerned. 

Increased property value. Though a more subtle benefit of fence repair, an updated fencing structure adds value to your home. 

Consistency. Fence repair adds more value and benefit to a home when the fence style and design is kept consistent. Replacing individual parts can be tricky, as it becomes obvious which parts are newer than others. Consider taking pieces from a less visible spot to repair obvious problems in your fencing and replace the hidden parts with new components. 

Rotting. Contact with the ground makes rot a popular reason for fence repair needs. Generous amounts of wood preservative will help eliminate this problem from spreading after loose fence components are secured with wood scrap or metal braces. 

Replacement. A wood fence typically lasts about 20 years with regular maintenance. If your fence is older than this and has seen its fair share of repairs, consider a new fence installation. Today, there are many more fencing options available with longer life expediencies than there was decades ago.
