Fence & Gate Repair in San Angelo, TX
Out here the wind never really quits, and it works on a fence season after season — racking gates, loosening posts, and prying pickets loose. San Angelo dryness cracks the wood on top of that. We put fences and gates back to square and rehang gates that won't latch.
We reset or replace leaning posts, swap out split and warped pickets, add bracing and hardware where a gate has sagged, and tighten everything so it stands up to the next gust. If a whole run is failing, we'll tell you honestly what's worth repairing and what isn't.

- Sagging gate realignment and bracing

How a fence & gate repair visit usually goes
Walk the line
We inspect the whole run, not just the obvious failure, probing posts at the ground line and checking rails and hardware, so you know what is sound and what is next to go.
Reset the bones
Failed posts get pulled and reset in fresh concrete, plumbed against the prevailing wind. Where a wood post keeps failing in the same spot, we will suggest a steel post that ends the cycle.
Rebuild and rehang
New rails, pickets and bracing go in where needed, and gates get squared up with anti-sag hardware, proper hinges and a latch that lines up in both the wet and dry seasons.
Finish for the climate
Fresh cuts get sealed, hardware gets tightened to spec, and we will point out where a coat of stain now saves you a round of board replacement two summers from now.
This is ranch country, and the fence wisdom runs deep. You still see steel pipe fencing and mesquite posts on the older places for a reason: they shrug off what kills cheap wood. On residential fences we borrow the lesson, favoring steel posts dressed in wood-look brackets where wind keeps snapping wooden ones. It costs a bit more once and stops the repeat repairs.
What shapes the price in San Angelo
Fence pricing follows posts, footage and access. A gate rehang with new hardware is the simple end; resetting posts in concrete is the labor-heavy part, and every additional failed post adds real work. Material choice matters too, since cedar pickets cost more than spruce and last longer in our dry heat, and long rural runs out toward Grape Creek carry travel and hauling considerations. We quote by the repair, not the hour, and we separate must-fix from can-wait so you control the spend.
Neighbors often ask
My gate drags and won't latch — can you fix it?
Usually yes. Gates sag as posts shift and hardware loosens in the wind. We square it up, add an anti-sag brace or new hinges, and get it latching clean again.
Do you replace whole fences?
We focus on repairs and section rebuilds rather than full tear-downs. If your fence is mostly sound, we'll fix the failing parts and save you the cost of replacing the rest.
Wood or metal posts, which should I use here?
For this wind, steel posts set in concrete outlast wood by decades and hold a straighter line. You can face them with brackets so the fence still reads as all wood. If you are already resetting more than a couple of failed posts, upgrading them to steel usually pays for itself.
Should I stain my fence, and when?
Yes. Dry heat and UV are what actually kill fence boards here, checking and cupping them until they split. A penetrating stain every few years slows that dramatically. Brand-new boards should weather a few weeks first, and we can fold touch-up staining into a repair visit.
