Fence Repair in Barrie, Collingwood & Simcoe County

A damaged fence doesn’t just look bad — it compromises your privacy, your property line, and your peace of mind. At Fence Right Inc, we provide professional fence repair services throughout Barrie, Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Stayner, and the surrounding Simcoe County area. Whether a harsh Ontario winter shifted your posts, a windstorm blew down a panel, or years of wear have simply caught up with your fence, our experienced team can assess the damage and get it looking and functioning like new.

We repair all fence types and all brands — you don’t have to have purchased your fence from us to call us. With over 25 years of fencing experience, owner Brad and his crew have seen every kind of repair job this region can throw at a fence.

Fence Repair Services We Offer

No matter what type of fence you have, our team has the tools, materials, and expertise to fix it properly. We repair fences for both residential and commercial properties across Simcoe County.

Wood Fence Repair

Wood fences are the most common type in our area — and after a Simcoe County winter, they’re also the most likely to need attention. We repair and replace:

• Rotted or broken fence boards and pickets
• Leaning, cracked, or heaved fence posts
• Damaged or sagging gate hardware and frames
• Split rails and top caps
• Storm damage, including fallen sections

We use quality pressure-treated lumber and cedar that matches your existing fence as closely as possible. Learn more about our wood fence installation services.

Chain Link Fence Repair

Chain link fences are tough, but they’re not indestructible. We handle:

• Bent or damaged posts
• Torn, sagging, or stretched mesh fabric
• Broken tension bars and top rails
• Damaged chain link gates and latches
• Re-tensioning loose fencing

See our full chain link fence services.

Ornamental Iron Fence Repair

Ornamental iron fencing adds real curb appeal to a property, but rust, vehicle damage, or ground movement can take a toll. We repair:

• Bent or broken iron pickets and rails
• Rust damage and protective coating failure
• Loose or failing post footings
• Gate hinges, latches, and closers

View our ornamental iron fence page for more detail on materials and styles.

Farm & Agricultural Fence Repair

From wire fencing to wood post-and-rail systems, we repair farm fences throughout rural Simcoe County. We understand the urgency when livestock containment is at stake — we’ll get to you quickly and get the job done right. Read more on our farm fencing page.

Vinyl & Composite Fence Repair

Vinyl fencing can crack or break in extreme cold or from impact damage. We replace cracked panels, broken posts, and damaged caps and rails to restore both the look and function of your vinyl fence.

Gate Repair & Adjustment

A gate that won’t close, drags on the ground, or has a broken latch is both inconvenient and a security issue. We repair and rehang gates for all fence types, adjust hardware, and replace worn latches and hinges.

Common Reasons Fences Need Repair in Simcoe County

Ontario’s climate is hard on outdoor structures. Here are the most common causes of fence damage we see in Barrie, Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, and the surrounding area:

Frost Heave

This is the number one cause of fence post problems in our region. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly through the winter and early spring, posts that weren’t set deep enough can shift, lean, or pop out of the ground entirely. Properly reset posts need to go below the frost line — a minimum of 4 feet in most parts of Simcoe County — and be secured in concrete to stay straight season after season.

Storm & Wind Damage

Georgian Bay weather brings strong winds, ice storms, and heavy snowfall that can knock down whole fence sections. If a storm has damaged your fence, call us right away — a downed fence is a safety and security issue, and we offer prompt repair scheduling.

Wood Rot

Even pressure-treated lumber has a lifespan. Prolonged ground contact, poor drainage, and moisture can cause posts and boards to rot from the inside out. Catching rot early — before it spreads to structural posts — can save you the cost of a full replacement.

Vehicle or Impact Damage

A car clipping a corner post, a lawn tractor backing into a section, kids playing — impact damage happens. We can replace individual sections or posts without having to redo an entire fence line.

General Wear & Age

Even a well-built fence will show its age eventually. Boards warp, hardware rusts, paint peels, and joints loosen. A targeted repair job extends the life of your fence by years and costs a fraction of full replacement.

Repair or Replace? We'll Give You an Honest Assessment

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is whether to repair their existing fence or invest in a new one. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — it depends on the extent of the damage, the age of the fence, and the type of material.

At Fence Right Inc, we’ll always give you our honest professional opinion. If a targeted repair is the right call, we’ll tell you that. If the fence has reached the end of its useful life and replacement would be more cost-effective in the long run, we’ll tell you that too — and we’ll give you a competitive quote on new installation.

As a general guide:

• Repair makes sense when damage is limited to a few sections, the posts are still structurally sound, and the fence is less than 10–12 years old.
• Replacement is worth considering when more than 30–40% of the fence is damaged, posts are rotted at the base, or the fence is over 15 years old and showing widespread wear.

During our free estimate visit, we’ll walk your fence line, identify every issue, and give you a clear picture of your options — no pressure, no upsell.
