Fence repairs in Hollywood follow the weather. In summer, afternoon storms soak the sand around a footing and a gust finishes the job, so a fence that stood straight in May is leaning by August. After a tropical storm or hurricane, whole runs go over at once. The rest of the year the damage is slower: wood posts going soft at the ground, fasteners rusting away near the beach, vinyl rails popping out of their pockets, and chain link sagging where the bottom wire has corroded.
We start by finding out why the fence failed. A post that snapped at ground level tells a different story from a post that tipped over with its concrete still attached. The first needs a new post. The second needs a bigger footing, or the next storm will tip it again. On aluminum and vinyl, we look for the maker's markings, because a matching rail or panel is the cheapest fix when it can still be bought. Near the ocean and the Intracoastal we replace corroded screws and brackets with stainless.
Tell us when you call if the fence encloses a pool, since an open pool barrier is a safety issue and we look at those first. Small jobs such as one post, a latch or a dragging gate are usually done in a single visit. Larger storm repairs are quoted in writing, with photos, so you can send the estimate to your insurer. If most of the posts in a run have failed, we say so and price the replacement next to the repair.
Fence repair in Hollywood: common questions
Do I need a permit to repair a fence in Hollywood?
It depends on how much is being rebuilt. Swapping a few boards or one panel is usually treated as upkeep. Rebuilding a run or changing the height or material is likely to be treated as a new fence. The City of Hollywood Building Division makes that call, and we ask before we start.
Can you match my existing fence?
Often, yes. Wood can be matched by board width and style, though new boards look brighter for a season. Vinyl and aluminum depend on whether the same profile is still made. When it is not, we replace a full side so the change falls at a corner.
My fence fell in a storm and I have a pool. What should I do first?
Keep children and pets away from the water and call us. We can close the gap with a temporary panel while the permanent repair is arranged. Take photos before anything is moved, in case you make an insurance claim.
