Fence repair & replacement in South Surrey, White Rock & the Peninsula.

Usually, yes. A lean almost always comes from a post that has rotted at the base or heaved out of the ground. We reset or replace the failed posts, re-plumb the line, and re-secure the panels so the run stands straight again — without tearing out the whole fence when it does not need it.

Whatever the fence actually needs. If the panels are sound and only a few posts have failed, we replace those posts and save you a full rebuild. If the fence is at the end of its life, we will tell you straight and rebuild it instead of patching something that will fail again next season.

In most cases we can match the height, style and board layout closely so a repaired section blends into the run. Older wood will have weathered, so a new cedar repair may look lighter at first — it silvers to match over a season or two, and can be stained to speed that up.

The honest test is how many posts and panels have failed. A couple of bad posts on an otherwise solid fence is a repair. Widespread rot, multiple leaning sections, or hardware failing across the whole run usually means replacement is the better value. We walk it with you and give you a straight recommendation — and our repair-or-replace guide walks through the full symptom-by-symptom test.

A well-built western red cedar fence in this climate commonly lasts 15 to 25 years. Posts usually fail first — so a mid-life fence with a few bad posts is worth repairing, while a fence near the end of that range with widespread rot is usually better rebuilt. Height rules can also matter when rebuilding; see our Surrey fence height guide.

A loose board or a gate latch — absolutely, and a good hardware store will set you up. Post replacement is where DIY usually goes wrong: pulling a concrete-set post, re-digging, setting the new post plumb and to depth, and re-hanging panels straight is heavy, fussy work. If a post has failed, it is worth at least pricing the professional fix before renting the tools.

Often, yes. In BC, a fence on the property line is generally shared between the neighbours on either side, and each pays half of the reasonable cost to repair or build it — even if a previous owner built it. Agreement comes first, and upgrades beyond what is reasonable are not automatically split. Our guide to who pays for a fence between neighbours in BC walks through the details — it is general information, not legal advice.

A single fence panel installed with two new posts starts at $450. Replacing one panel while retaining suitable existing posts starts at $350. Replacing one damaged fence post starts at $150 — and removal, haul-away and job-site cleanup are included. These are typical starting prices, not guaranteed fixed quotes; final pricing can change based on access, soil and concrete conditions, fence dimensions and style, surrounding damage, material requirements, and whether additional removal is needed. Your exact number is confirmed in a fixed written quote after a site visit.

For repairs we try to get out quickly, especially for a fence that has come down or is a safety or pet-containment issue. Call us and we will set the soonest site visit we can, usually within a business day or two.

Yes. Gates take the most wear on any fence. We re-square or rebuild the gate frame, reset the posts it hangs on if they have moved, and re-hang it on solid black hardware so it swings and latches clean again.

Yes. Removal, disposal and cleanup are included. We pull the old posts, panels and concrete, and leave the property tidy — you are not left with a pile of broken fence to deal with.

Yes. Ironwood Grounds is WorkSafeBC insured, which covers our crew while they work on your property — worth confirming with any contractor before work begins.
