How much does fence repair cost in Wichita?
Most fence repairs land between $250 and $800, depending on what failed and how much of the run needs work. Single broken picket: low end. Multiple sister posts plus rail replacement: mid range. Storm-down section requiring partial rebuild: higher end. We give you a written quote on site after we see the damage.
Not every job needs a full tear-out and rebuild. Most fence issues — leaning posts, broken pickets, sagging gates, storm-snapped sections, post rot — can be repaired without replacing the whole run. We do same- or next-day repair work across the Wichita metro when scheduling allows.

Common fence repairs we handle in Wichita
- Leaning posts — pulled out and re-set in concrete, or sistered if the post itself is sound
- Broken or split pickets — replaced with matching cedar from current stock
- Sagging gates — re-hung, re-leveled, hardware replaced if needed
- Storm-snapped sections — partial section rebuild, integrated with the existing run
- Post rot at ground level — pulled and replaced; concrete footings re-poured
- Loose or missing hardware — galvanized replacements throughout
If a section's been down for a while or the whole run is past its useful life, we'll tell you straight — sometimes a full replacement is the better call than chasing repairs across an aging fence. Free in-person assessment either way.
Storm damage fence repair in Wichita
Kansas weather doesn't ask permission. Storm cells, straight-line wind, hail, and the occasional tornado all leave fence damage in their wake — snapped pickets, leaning posts, sections flattened by a fallen tree, gates twisted off their hinges. We prioritize storm-damage repairs and try to be on-site within a business day or two of your call.
For tree removal and storm cleanup, we partner with Baker Tree Service — when a tree comes down across your fence, it usually needs to come off the fence before we can rebuild. Baker has been doing tree work in Wichita since 2006 and handles the tree removal cleanly. Call Baker direct for tree work:

Once the tree is clear, we handle the fence rebuild on the same property — no second contractor to coordinate, no scheduling gaps.
Frequently asked questions
How much does fence repair cost in Wichita?
Most fence repairs run between $250 and $800 depending on what failed and how much of the run needs work. A single broken picket is at the low end; multiple sister posts plus rail replacement lands mid-range; a storm-down section requiring partial rebuild reaches the higher end. We give you a written quote on site after seeing the damage.
Who pays for fence repair between neighbors in Kansas?
In Kansas, fence-repair responsibility generally depends on who owns the fence (which neighbor it's on their side of the property line), and what your local jurisdiction or HOA rules say. There's no automatic 50/50 split. Many neighbors split costs voluntarily when both yards benefit, but legally the owner is responsible unless an agreement says otherwise. Check your plat or property survey to confirm whose property the fence sits on.
Can a leaning fence post be repaired or does it need replacement?
Depends on whether the post itself is structurally sound or rotted. If the post is fine but the concrete footing has shifted, we can often dig it out and re-set in fresh concrete. If the post has rot at ground level or has split, it needs to be pulled and replaced entirely. We tell you which one your situation is at the estimate.
How long does it take to repair a fence after storm damage?
Single-section storm repairs are typically same- or next-day jobs when our schedule allows. After a major storm event (when many fences across Wichita are down at once), we prioritize by severity and try to get every storm-damage call assessed within 2-3 business days. For tree-on-fence damage, see the storm damage section above — we partner with Baker Tree Service for tree removal before we rebuild.
Do you offer emergency or same-day fence repair?
When scheduling allows, yes. We aim for same- or next-day service for urgent situations (dog containment failure, security concerns, storm damage to a yard with kids or pets). Call us at (316) 285-9172 — text a photo if you can — and we tell you honestly whether we can get there today, tomorrow, or what the wait looks like.
