Hernando County's big oaks and open land mean storms hit fences two ways: falling limbs and straight-line wind. We repair what can be saved and replace what can't.
The first few hours
Keep away from any fence touching a power line and call the utility. Before moving debris, take photos of every damaged section from several angles for your insurer. If animals or a pool depend on the fence, put up temporary fencing or keep them clear until it's repaired.
Storm damage on rural properties
On acreage, storm damage is often spread across long fence lines, with sections down in several places. We'll walk the whole line with you, put a written estimate together for your insurance claim, and secure livestock and pool areas first.
Fix it or replace it
Check the posts. Broken boards or wire on solid posts usually mean repair. Leaning or snapped posts along a long run, especially on an older fence, usually mean replacement. We'll give you our honest call in writing.
Rebuilding for the next storm
Most fences that fail in a storm fail at the posts. When we rebuild, we set posts deeper with more concrete, and we suggest open designs where privacy isn't needed so the wind passes through.
