How Much Does Fence Repair Cost? (2026)

Most fence repairs cost $150–$700. Replacing a single post costs $100–$300, fixing a leaning section $150–$400, and gate repair $100–$350. Minor board replacement is the cheapest at $5–$30 per board.

Repair if: damage is localized (a few boards or one post), the fence is less than 10 years old, and the structure is generally sound. Replace if: more than 20% of posts are rotting, the fence is leaning throughout, or it's past its expected lifespan.

Yes. For a slightly leaning fence, you can add braces or stakes ($20–$50 DIY). For a significantly leaning section, the post likely needs replacement ($100–$300 professional). Acting early prevents the whole section from falling.

Replacing a single fence post costs $100–$300 including labor and materials. This involves removing the old post, setting a new one in concrete, and reattaching the fence panels. DIY cost is $20–$50 for materials.
