"If you're thinking about hiring a different company DONT! Will and his crew at Eagle fence are awesome! I have a large yard and was hesitant on hiring just any company to complete the job. The Eagle fence crew came out and installed my fence within 2 days. They did an excellent job and my fence looks great. Again if you're thinking about having a fence installed or repaired, Will at Eagle fence is your guy, trust me."

"Southstar Fence replaced my worn out wood decking with composite boards. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. They were quick professional and did an outstanding job. Now we have a deck that will last forever. Thanks Southstar Fence!"

"Luis was the first pro to respond to my request for quotes and was very flexible with coming out for an estimate. His quote was very reasonable and he was available to start in just a few days. Luis and his crew removed our old fence, cleared out the dead area and put in the new fence in about half a day. The team was quick, efficient, polite and did great work. I will definitely call Luis again for our next need."

"I had a fantastic experience with Dan from Basement Gurus! He helped install a French drain in my basement crawl space, and I couldnâ  t be happier with the results. Not only did he address the drainage issue, but he also sealed off openings under my wood deck that were allowing raccoons to get in. Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed throughout the process. Highly recommend Basement Gurus for any basement needs!"

"Santos repaired brickwork on steps and porch foundation; also repaired and painted attic windows and a decorative window on an upper floor. He had to come back to complete the work (because of weather) and he did that promptly. His fee was very reasonable."

"Awesome. Danny and his crew were great to work with. They planted a lovely dogwood, flowers for 5 clay pots, 5 hanging pots, 5 concrete vases, 2 concrete boxes, and a large wood planter. They transplanted a flowering bush I wanted to keep, cleaned out and raised the soil level of the wood box (size approx 6x8 feet) so the perennials and annuals could be seen. We discussed the colors I wanted, he shared photos of his suggestions, and made adjustments based on my feedback. My front, side and backyards now look wonderful! Next year I plan to work with him starting April and not August :-). I recommend them highly."

FAQs for wood fence repair projects in Wilmington, DE

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.
