Serving Pomona, CA and surrounding areas. (626) 659-1648
Leaning posts, cracked boards, or a gate that drags are more than annoyances. We find the real cause, fix it right, and back our work so the problem does not come back.
Fence repair in Pomona, CA covers everything from replacing a few broken boards to resetting a leaning post or reattaching a sagging gate, and most jobs are completed in a single visit.
If your fence is leaning or falling apart, the first question is always what actually caused the problem. In Pomona, the answer is often the soil - the clay-heavy ground here swells in winter and shrinks in summer, which pushes posts out of alignment over time even when they were installed correctly. A repair that does not account for the soil will fail again within a year or two. That is why we assess every post along the affected section, not just the boards that are visibly broken.
Depending on the extent of the damage, we may also recommend looking at fence replacement if a section has been patched multiple times and the underlying structure is compromised. But we will always show you exactly what we are seeing and give you an honest assessment before recommending anything.
Stand at one end of your fence and look down the line. A lean - even a gentle one - usually means a post has shifted, rotted at the base, or lost its footing. In Pomona, this often happens after a wet winter when the clay soil has swelled and then dried out.
Individual boards that are visibly cracked, warped, or no longer sitting flush against the fence frame are a clear sign repair is overdue. In Pomona's climate, this damage tends to accelerate once it starts - a cracked board lets moisture in, which speeds up rot in the surrounding wood.
A gate that scrapes the ground, swings open on its own, or refuses to close is telling you something has shifted. This is usually a hinge that has pulled loose, a post that has moved, or a gate frame that has warped. Left alone, a misaligned gate puts extra stress on the post it hangs from.
If you can push a screwdriver into the base of a fence post and it gives way, the wood has rotted through. Rot at ground level is the most common reason fences fail in Pomona, especially in older neighborhoods where original posts were set without adequate protection from soil moisture.
Fence repair covers more than you might expect. We handle post resets and replacements, board-by-board replacements, rail repairs, gate adjustments, and hardware replacements - all grounded in an honest assessment of what actually needs fixing. If storm damage knocked down a section, we will also evaluate the posts that are still standing but may have shifted. And if you have been thinking about upgrading while we are already on site, we can talk through custom fence design options at no extra charge.
Not every damaged fence needs to be torn out. But some sections have been patched so many times that repair no longer makes financial sense - at that point, fence replacement gives you a fresh start with materials and post depths sized for Pomona's soil and climate. We will always tell you which situation you are in before a single board comes down.

Pomona's clay-heavy soil is the biggest long-term threat to any fence in the area. The ground swells when it rains and shrinks during the long dry summers, and that repeated movement pushes posts out of alignment year after year. Add in Santa Ana wind events that regularly gust above 50 miles per hour, and Pomona homeowners face a combination of conditions that is harder on fences than most of Southern California. A repair that does not account for both factors - soil movement and wind loading - tends to fail again within a season or two.
We serve homeowners throughout the area, including Covina and San Dimas, where older housing stock means many fences have been standing for decades and are overdue for an honest assessment. If your neighborhood falls under HOA rules - common in Pomona's newer developments - we are familiar with the documentation typically required before repair work can begin, and we will make sure the finished repair meets your association's standards.
California law treats fences on shared property lines as jointly owned, which means both neighbors share in the cost of repairs. Before we start any work near a property line, we will walk you through what the California Good Neighbor Fence law actually means for your situation. You can read more about shared fence responsibilities at the California Legislative Information site.
We will respond within one business day. When you reach out, we ask a few basic questions - what kind of fence you have, roughly how long the damaged section is, and whether a shared property line is involved - so we come prepared.
Before giving you a firm price, we assess the damage in person. We check posts for rot, look at how the fence sits relative to the property line, and tell you honestly what we are seeing. This is your chance to ask questions.
Before any work begins you get a written quote breaking down labor and materials separately. If a permit is needed, we explain what that means for the timeline. Take your time to review - we will not pressure you.
Most Pomona fence repairs are done in a single visit. We haul away old materials and do a final walkthrough with you before leaving - so you can confirm the gate latches, posts stand straight, and new boards match the existing fence.
