When it's time for a new fence
If more than a third of the posts move when you push them, repairs stop paying off. We build new privacy fence from $32 per foot for treated pine and $44 per foot for cedar, and we'll tell you honestly which side of the line you're on.
Fence down after a storm
We keep posts, rails and panels on the truck from March to November, so most storm calls are fixed in one trip.
- Take photos first. Wide shots and close-ups of each broken post. Homeowner's insurance often covers fences hit by a tree or wind.
- Call or text (616) 555-0137. We answer seven days a week in storm season and give you a time window, not a "sometime next week."
- We secure it, then fix it. If a dog or pool is involved, we close the gap with a temporary panel the same or next day, then repair properly.
We write itemized invoices insurance adjusters accept, with photos before and after.
Repair or replace? Check your fence
Walk the line and tick what you see. It's the same checklist Ray uses on a visit.

Gate rebuild · Eastown
“Our gate had dragged for two summers. Ray rebuilt the frame, added a brace and a self-closing hinge. It shuts with one finger now.”
Storm repair · Wyoming
“A neighbor's maple took out 16 feet of fence. He sent photos and an invoice my insurance paid without a question.”
Post reset · Kentwood
“He told me I didn't need a new fence, just three posts reset. Saved me thousands and it's been solid two winters.”
Ray Hollis, and a truck full of posts
I built new fences for other companies for eight years and kept getting the repair calls they didn't want. In 2009 I bought a used F-250, a post puller and a trailer, and started taking those calls myself.
We're three people now: me, my son Danny and Luis, who has set more posts than anyone I know. We'd rather fix the fence you have than sell you a new one, and most of our work comes from neighbors of people we've helped.

How fast we get to you
Typical wait from your call to us standing in your yard, in business days. Storm weeks run a day or two longer.
Common questions
Can you match my existing fence?
Usually. We carry treated pine and cedar in the common board widths and bring samples for stain. New wood will look brighter for a season before it weathers in.
Will insurance pay for storm damage?
Often, if a tree or wind took it down. We give you dated photos and an itemized invoice to send your adjuster. Your deductible applies.
Do you fix fences another company built?
Yes, that's most of our work. We repair wood, vinyl, chain link and aluminum regardless of who put it in.
Can you work in winter?
Yes. We dig until the ground freezes hard and can still fix gates, boards and rails all winter. Frozen-ground posts get a temporary brace until spring.
Is there a minimum charge?
Our minimum visit is $85, which covers a latch or hinge swap. Most repairs land between $150 and $600.
Do you guarantee the work?
Every repair has a one-year warranty on parts and labor. If a post we reset moves, we come back and fix it free.
Fence down and the dog's in the yard? We answer seven days a week from March to November.
