Fence Repair in Baldwin County, AL
Aluminum, chain link, wood and ornamental fence repair for homes and businesses across Fairhope, Daphne, Foley, Gulf Shores and the rest of Baldwin County.
Repairs Done by the Crew That Builds the Fence
A leaning post, a sagging gate or a section flattened by a storm does not always mean you need a new fence. Cooper Fence Company repairs fences we built and fences we did not, across Baldwin County and Mobile County. We are family owned, we have been on the Gulf Coast for over a decade, and we keep a large selection of fence material in stock at our Silverhill warehouse, so most repairs do not wait on a special order.
Every repair starts the same way as every install. We come out, look at the fence, tell you what we found and put a written estimate in your hands. That visit is free.

Fence Repairs We Handle
Aluminum and Handrail Repair
Bent or dented panels, loose pickets, damaged posts and handrail sections that have worked free of their anchors. Aluminum takes salt air well but takes an impact badly, so most aluminum repairs are section replacements rather than patches.
Chain Link Repair
Stretched or torn fabric, bent top rail, leaning line posts, damaged tension bars and gates that no longer latch. Chain link is the material most worth repairing rather than replacing, because the posts usually outlive the fabric.
Wood Privacy Fence Repair
Rotted posts at the ground line, warped or split pickets, failed rails and sagging gates. On the Gulf Coast the post is almost always what failed first, even when the pickets look worse.
Ornamental Fence Repair
Damaged panels, loose or missing finials, rusted hardware and posts knocked out of plumb.
Gate Repair
Sagging gates, dragging gates, worn hinges and latches that no longer line up. A gate carries more wear than the rest of the fence combined and it is usually the first thing to fail.
Post Replacement and Realignment
Setting new posts in concrete and bringing a leaning run back to line, which is the most common repair we do after a storm.
Storm and Impact Damage
Coastal weather is hard on fences. Wind pushes wood fences over at the post line, driven rain undermines footings, and a fallen limb takes out a section at a time. Vehicle impacts and equipment damage do the same thing faster.
We handle storm and impact repair the same way we handle everything else. We walk the fence line, work out which posts are still sound and which have moved, then quote the repair against the alternative so you can see both numbers before you decide. If a run has to come out, we haul the old material away.
If you are filing an insurance claim, we can give you a written, itemized estimate for your adjuster.
Repair or Replace? How We Decide
Most people asking about fence repair are really asking whether repair is worth it. Here is how we look at it.
Repair usually makes sense when:
- The posts are sound and only the pickets, panels or fabric have failed
- The damage is confined to one or two sections
- The fence is under about ten years old and the rest of the run is in line
- A gate is the only problem
Replacement usually makes more sense when:
- Posts are rotted or loose along most of the run
- More than about a third of the fence is damaged
- The fence is leaning as a whole rather than in one spot
- Repair cost is approaching the cost of a new fence with a fresh guarantee
We will tell you which one you are looking at. We would rather quote you an honest repair than sell you a fence you did not need, and we have a warehouse to fill either way.
Commercial and Industrial Fence Repair
A damaged fence at a business is a security problem and a liability problem, not just an appearance problem. We repair fencing for apartment complexes and condos, retail and restaurants, office parks, storage yards, warehouses, construction sites, schools, parks and municipal facilities.
Commercial repair work includes chain link fabric and top rail, security fencing, dumpster and equipment screening, handrail, commercial gates and gate hardware. We schedule around your operating hours where we can, so the work does not shut down access.

Fence Repair Questions
Do you repair fences you did not install?
Yes. Most of our repair work is on fences built by someone else. We do not need to have built it to fix it.
What does a fence repair cost?
It depends on what failed, how many sections are affected and what material the fence is. Replacing one wood post is a different job from resetting twenty. We come out, look at it and give you a written estimate at no charge, so you get a real number instead of a guess over the phone.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my fence?
Look at the posts first. If the posts are solid and only the pickets, panels or chain link fabric have failed, repair is usually the better value. If posts are rotted or loose along most of the run, or more than about a third of the fence is damaged, replacement usually costs less over the life of the fence. We will give you our read on it during the estimate.
What should I look for when choosing a fence repair company?
Four things. Ask whether they will come out and look at the fence before quoting a number. Ask whether they install the same material they are repairing, because a company that only installs will not stock repair parts. Ask what happens if the repair fails, and get the guarantee in writing. Ask whether they haul away the old material or leave it in your yard.
Do you repair aluminum and ornamental fences, or only wood and chain link?
All of them. Aluminum and handrail, chain link, wood and ornamental. We install all four, so we stock parts for all four.
How soon can you get out to look at it?
Call the office at (251) 367-1980 and we will schedule the estimate. Spring is our busiest stretch, so timing moves with the season.
