Wood Fence Replacement
Sometimes repairs aren’t enough. If your fence is falling apart, suffering from deep rot, or beyond patchwork, we offer complete wood fence replacement in Edmonton. We remove the old structure, clear the space, and install a sturdy, attractive new fence that’s built to last.

It’s a great opportunity to coordinate both fencing and facade upgrades in one project.
Wood Fence Repairs We Offer
Rotting Wood
Edmonton’s freeze-thaw cycles are rough on untreated or aged wood. Moisture gets in, and over time, parts of your fence start to rot. We remove decayed sections and replace them with pressure-treated, rot-resistant lumber. If caught early, it can save you the cost of a full replacement.
Cracks or Splits
Temperature changes can cause wood to expand and contract, leading to cracks. These can get worse with time and compromise the fence’s strength. We seal or replace cracked boards and reinforce the surrounding structure to prevent further damage.
Insect Damage
Wood-boring insects like carpenter ants and termites can hollow out fence boards and posts. We inspect and remove affected areas, treat the surrounding wood, and replace what’s beyond saving.
Peeling Paint or Stain
Peeling paint isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it exposes wood to moisture and speeds up deterioration. We strip old finishes, sand the surface, and apply a fresh coat of premium paint or stain to protect the wood and restore its appearance.
Loose or Missing Parts
Loose nails, screws, or boards can make a fence unstable. We secure or replace any missing fasteners and ensure the structure is solid from post to panel. Safety and strength always come first.
Wood Replacement or Repair—Which One Should I Choose?
Choosing between repair and replacement depends on the fence’s condition, age, and how widespread the damage is. If 20–30% of the structure is damaged or rotting, full replacement is usually the smarter investment. You’ll save on frequent fixes and enjoy a stronger, more reliable fence for years to come.
But if the problems are limited to a few boards or posts, repairs are cost-effective and efficient. Our team will inspect your fence and give you honest advice. We won’t upsell what you don’t need. Sometimes a few well-executed repairs and a fresh coat of paint or stain can extend your fence’s life by several years.

Our Fence Repair Process
Fixing a damaged fence isn’t just about replacing a few boards—it’s about restoring the structure, function, and look of your property’s boundary. Our fence repair process is designed to be efficient, transparent, and built to last. Here’s how we handle it:
1. Inspection and Assessment
We start by inspecting your entire fence, not just the visibly damaged spots. This lets us identify any hidden issues like rot, loose posts, or insect damage. We look at the condition of the boards, rails, posts, fasteners, and paint or stain. Then we walk you through our findings and discuss the best solution—whether that’s a straightforward repair or a full replacement.
2. Clear Quote, No Surprises
After the assessment, we give you a clear and detailed estimate. You’ll know exactly what we’re fixing, what materials we’ll use, how long it will take, and what it’ll cost—no hidden fees, no vague pricing.
3. Removing Damaged Materials
Next, we remove the damaged or weakened parts of your fence. That might be cracked boards, rotting posts, rusted fasteners, or peeling paint. We work carefully to preserve what’s still solid, and we make sure the surrounding structure is protected during the process.
4. Rebuilding and Reinforcing
We replace broken or rotten wood with high-quality, pressure-treated lumber that’s made to handle Edmonton’s climate. Posts are reset and reinforced for stability. Boards are secured tightly, gates are rehung and adjusted, and any loose hardware is replaced.
5. Finishing Touches
After the structural work is done, we finish the job with paint or stain if needed. This not only refreshes the look of your fence—it also protects the wood from weather and insects. You can choose to match your existing color or update the look altogether.
6. Final Walkthrough and Cleanup
Before we wrap up, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you’re happy with the work. We also clean up everything—no tools, no nails, no mess left behind. Just a solid, great-looking fence ready to last for years.
