Most fence repairs in Houston come down to posts. Ground that swells after heavy rain and shrinks in a dry summer slowly pushes posts out of line, and a wood post that sits wet for years rots at the ground line. Once a few posts go, the panels between them start to lean.
A good repair crew will tell you honestly whether a section is worth fixing or whether the fence is near the end of its life. If more than about a third of the posts are failing, a replacement often costs less over time than repeated patching.
After a storm, take photos of the damage before anything is moved. Your homeowner's insurance may cover a fence knocked down by wind or a fallen tree, and the photos plus a written repair quote are what the adjuster will ask for.

What to ask for
- Reset or replace leaning and broken posts
- Replace rotted pickets and rails to match
- Rehang sagging gates and fix latches
- Storm cleanup and full section rebuilds
Storm knocked your fence down?
Leaning posts, missing pickets, fences on the ground. Choose storm damage in the form so the request goes to the front of the line.
What makes Houston fences different
Clay soil that moves
Much of the area sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought. Post depth, concrete and steel posts make the difference.
Storm season
Hurricanes and tropical storms bring wind that flattens weak fences. After Hurricane Beryl in 2024 many homeowners waited weeks for repairs.
Humidity and termites
Wet air and termites shorten the life of untreated wood. Sealed cedar, vinyl and aluminum last longer.
HOAs and deed restrictions
With no city zoning, fence rules in Houston usually come from HOAs and deed restrictions. Check them before you build.
