When to Repair vs. Replace

Consider Repairs When:

• Damage is isolated to a few boards or sections

• The fence is relatively new (less than 5 years old)

• The foundation and posts are still solid

• Issues are cosmetic rather than structural

• Basic maintenance can resolve the problem

Time for Replacement When:

• Multiple sections show significant damage

• The fence is over 15-20 years old

• Repairs would cost more than 50% of replacement

• Foundation issues are widespread

• Frequent repairs are becoming necessary

• You're dealing with extensive rot or rust

Coastal Considerations

Living in Charleston presents unique challenges for fencing. Our humid climate and salt air can accelerate wear and tear. Regular maintenance is crucial, and choosing the right materials for our coastal environment can significantly extend your fence's lifespan.

Preventive Maintenance Tips:

1. Regular Inspections

2. Walk your fence line monthly

3. Check for loose hardware

4. Look for signs of pest infestation

5. Inspect for water damage after storms

6. Routine Maintenance

7. Clean your fence annually

8. Treat wood fences with sealant

9. Tighten loose hardware

10. Clear vegetation from fence lines

11. Address small issues promptly
