Fence Repair in Dripping Springs and the Hill Country
A different kind of bro.
Fences fail in sections, and replacing the whole run is rarely the right call. Board replacement, post resetting, gate realignment, and structural reinforcement. No new fence builds. Repair only is the focus, which keeps the work honest and the scope manageable.
Repair the Run, Not the Fence
Service overview
Cedar fence repair across the Hill Country focuses exclusively on extending the life of existing fence runs. The Handy Bro replaces individual boards, resets sagging posts, realigns gates, and addresses the structural issues that accumulate on cedar fences over a decade. The repair first philosophy means homeowners get an accurate picture of what is salvageable before any work begins.
The Handy Bro intentionally focuses on repair only, not new fence builds. The repair only focus keeps the work honest, the scope manageable, and the customer relationship straightforward. If a property needs an entirely new fence run, that is a different contractor job. If a property has 80 percent of a good fence that needs targeted repair, that is exactly the work we do.
Hill Country cedar fences age in predictable ways. Posts shift in clay soil after 8 to 12 years. Gates sag from use and weather. Boards crack from UV and wind. Each issue has a specific repair approach, and most Hill Country fences benefit from a combination of post resetting, board replacement, and gate realignment to get back to like new condition.
Fences That Need Work
Real scenarios
Repair Only, No New Builds
The Handy Bro handles cedar fence repair across all Hill Country areas. New fence builds are intentionally not part of the service catalog. The repair only focus means homeowners get honest scope assessment without upsell pressure for full replacement contracts.
Sagging Gates From Use and Weather
Sagging gates are the most common fence repair call. Usually the fix is not just a new latch. Most often the post supporting the gate has shifted in clay soil, the hinges have loosened, or the gate frame has racked over time.
Leaning Posts in Clay Soil
Hill Country clay soil shifts seasonally with rainfall and drought cycles. Fence posts that started plumb 10 years ago lean by 5 to 15 degrees by year 12. Post resetting involves removing the leaning post, expanding the hole, plumbing, and re setting.
Cracked and Weathered Cedar Boards
Most Hill Country cedar fences have a handful of boards every 50 to 100 feet that have cracked, warped, or weathered ahead of the rest. Selective board replacement with matched cedar preserves visual consistency without full fence refresh cost.
