"My wood stockade fence had 2 posts that rotted out and the panels were barely staying up. A lot of other fence companies seem to only do regular installations. Geo Bros. does repairs and squeezed me in after one of their regular jobs. It was not totally straight-forward for them because the original installer did a real Mickey-Mouse job and these guys had to figure it out and deal with it. After a little head scratching they got it sorted out and did a very good job. They were very professional and I was happy with the results. I would not hesitate to call them again."

"It went very smoothly from first contact through job execution. Some neighbors had recommended them as a previous contractor never did the fencing job he had promised. In the end, they were less costly and did a fantastic job."

"I needed a fence (or really more like a railing) installed along my walk, which my roommate needed to hang onto. I got 3 bids. Remarkable Fence charged half as much as the other two and they did a great job. They gave me just what I needed."

"They called me, came that night and looked at the fence gave me a price. Tell me the person won’t be here. The next day he came one post was snapped, but three sections of the fence were leaning against the trees, The two of them came in the back with the one post about a half hour later he was done came to the door showed me the job. I noticed two other post had metal bars in front of it. He said the other two were snapped and he put the metal post against the two broken post to hold it up and told me to hold but I should get it repaired in the winter didn’t charge me anything more did a great job and will have them come to replace the next two posts probably in two weeks great guys good and clean workers"

"Elder was great to work with, he did a thorough walk through to ensure he knew exactly what we needed done, and then was quick to send over an accurate estimate. The work was done on time, on budget, with no issues. I appreciated their flexibility to do a little more than we originally discussed, and the crews' ability to remove the old fence, cut down trees/stumps as needed, and work around any potential issues was very important. I would definitely recommend NewGen for any Fence + Landscaping needs."

FAQs for wood fence repair projects in Melrose, MA

Financial responsibility depends on where the fence sits. If it’s clearly inside your lot, you foot the bill. When it’s right on the property line, state laws—California and Illinois are two examples—usually require both neighbors to split repair costs equally unless you agree otherwise. Check your local rules before scheduling work so you know exactly what you’re on the hook for.

Start by walking the fence line and noting every issue—loose boards, leaning posts, cracked panels. Next, gather at least three quotes from licensed contractors, comparing experience, warranties, and costs. Once you pick a pro, they’ll secure materials, reset posts, and fix or replace damaged sections. A thorough inspection and a qualified contractor keep the fence safe and extend its life.

Straightening a leaning fence costs an average of $200 to $400. A fencing pro will assess the damage, reset or replace the posts, and realign the panels so the fence stands upright again. Fixing the lean early on prevents further strain on framing and keeps the structure both sturdy and attractive.
