Fence & Gate Repair in Fate, TX
A gate that drags the ground or won't latch is one of the most common fixes we make in Fate — new fences settle, posts loosen in the clay, and hardware gives out faster than the wood does. We rehang gates, brace posts, and swap failing pickets and rails so the whole line looks squared away again.
We reset dragging gates, reinforce or replace leaning posts, and repair the panels that a North Texas windstorm loosened up. We know what the local HOAs expect for fence appearance, so the repair passes muster instead of earning you a letter.

- Sagging and dragging gate rehang
- Gate hardware, hinges and latch replacement
- Leaning and loose post reset or replacement

How a fence & gate repair visit usually goes
Walk the Whole Line
We check every post by hand, not just the obvious leaner, and note failing rails and boards so the quote covers the real condition of the fence, not one symptom.
Reset Posts to Stand the Wind
Broken or heaved posts get pulled and reset in fresh concrete, plumbed and braced while curing, because everything else on the fence depends on the posts holding.
Rebuild Rails, Boards and Gates
Rotted rails and split pickets come off, new material goes on straight and tight, and gates get squared with anti-sag hardware so they swing instead of scrape.
Match the Finish and Pass Inspection
Stain gets matched to the existing fence or your HOA's approved palette, hardware gets a final adjustment, and the repair blends in instead of announcing itself.
Most of Fate's master-planned neighborhoods write a specific stain color and fence profile into their covenants, and an unstained repair patch on a stained fence draws an HOA letter almost as fast as a leaning panel does. We match the approved color on every board we replace, so the repaired section disappears into the fence line instead of flagging itself for the compliance drive-by.
What shapes the price in Fate
Fence quotes in Fate come down to posts, footage, and finish. Resetting posts in concrete is the biggest driver, since it's the heavy work everything else rests on; board and rail replacement scales with the length involved. Cedar versus pine, matching stain to your HOA's required color, and rebuilding versus re-hardwaring a gate all move the number too. A storm-damage repair priced from photos is usually fast — send a few shots of the leaning section and we'll take it from there.
Neighbors often ask
My gate sags and scrapes — replace it or repair it?
Usually repair. A sagging gate is almost always a loose post or a racked frame, and an anti-sag brace kit plus fresh hardware brings it back level for a fraction of a replacement.
Will the repair meet my HOA's fence rules?
We build to what Fate-area HOAs expect for color, height and finish, so the fix blends in and stays compliant — no violation notice, no doing it twice.
The fence I share with my neighbor is failing — how do repairs usually work?
Shared fences are typically a split arrangement between neighbors, though every situation differs. We're happy to write the quote so both households can see the scope clearly, and we'll repair to the good-neighbor standard — finished sides and matched stain — so both yards come out looking right.
Should the new boards be stained right away or left to weather?
New cedar benefits from a short drying period before stain will absorb properly — often a few weeks depending on the season. We can return to stain once it's ready, or coordinate the timing in one plan, and we'll match your fence's existing color so the repair blends in rather than stripes.
