Fence Repair & Installation in Estero, FL
From sagging fencing to broken fence gates, we handle fence repair, staining, and installation across Southwest Florida. Hurricane damage, rotting posts, rusted hardware, pool code violations — our licensed team has seen it all. Serving Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers since 2010.
A fence that is leaning after last year’s storm season, a gate that drags on the paver driveway, a wood fence turning gray because the stain wore off two summers ago — these are the calls we get every week in Southwest Florida. Fencing takes a beating down here between hurricane winds, sandy soil that shifts under posts, year-round humidity, and Formosan subterranean termites that can hollow out a pressure-treated 4x4 in a single season.
Fence Repair & Post Resetting
Leaning fences are the single most common fencing issue we deal with in Lee and Collier counties. The sandy soil composition in Southwest Florida does not grip concrete footings the way clay soil does up north, so fence posts shift over time — especially after heavy rain or hurricane-force winds. We reset leaning posts with fresh concrete at the proper depth, replace broken or rotted posts entirely, and swap out cracked or warped pickets and panels. If a tree came through your fence during Ian or Milton, we remove the debris and rebuild the damaged sections. We also handle general home repairs that often come alongside storm damage, so we can address the full list in one trip.
Gate Repair & Replacement
Gates fail for a few predictable reasons: hinges corrode from salt air and humidity, latches rust and stop engaging, posts shift and throw the gate out of alignment, and wood gates warp from moisture exposure. We repair or replace gate hardware, rehang sagging gates, and install new gates when repair is no longer practical. For pool enclosure gates, we install self-closing hinges and self-latching hardware that meets Florida Building Code requirements — the latch must sit at least 54 inches from ground level on the pool side.
Fence Staining & Sealing
Wood fencing in Southwest Florida needs restaining or resealing every two to three years. Skip it and the wood grays out, absorbs moisture, and becomes a magnet for mildew and rot. We pressure wash the fence first, let it dry, then apply a quality exterior stain or sealant rated for Florida’s UV exposure and humidity. If you have other painting or staining work around the house, we can bundle that into a single visit.
New Fence Installation
We install vinyl, wood, aluminum, and chain link fencing for residential properties. Vinyl is the most popular material in our area because it resists humidity, termites, and fading without ongoing maintenance. Aluminum is the go-to around pools — it meets barrier code, does not rust, and keeps the view open. Wood fencing costs less upfront and looks great when maintained, but requires that regular staining schedule. We work with your HOA requirements on height, material, color, and setback before starting any installation.
Pool Enclosure Fencing & Code Compliance
Florida pool barrier code requires a minimum 4-foot fence with self-closing, self-latching gates. Openings cannot allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through. If your existing pool fence has gaps, a gate that does not self-close, or a latch a child can reach, it is not compliant — and it will get flagged on a home inspection. We bring pool fencing up to current code, whether that means replacing a section, adding proper gate hardware, or installing a new barrier. Call us at (239) 880-2423 for a free estimate.

How Our Fencing Process Works
We walk the full fence line with you. Posts get checked for lean and rot, panels get inspected for cracks and warping, and gates get tested for alignment, latch function, and self-closing action. You get a written estimate before any work starts.
We source the right materials for the job and your HOA requirements. Vinyl, wood, aluminum, chain link — we match the existing fence or spec the replacement based on what holds up best in Southwest Florida conditions. Everything arrives on-site ready to go.
Our crew completes the repair or installation, sets posts in concrete at the correct depth for sandy Florida soil, and cleans up the work area fully. Gates are tested for smooth swing, proper latch engagement, and self-closing function where required by pool code.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fence Services
How much does fence repair cost in Southwest Florida?
Fence repair costs depend on the scope of damage, material type, and linear footage. A single leaning post reset typically runs $150–$350 including concrete. Panel or picket replacement ranges from $200–$600 depending on material. Full-section repairs after hurricane damage can run $500–$2,000+ depending on how many posts and panels need replacement. We provide free on-site estimates with a written breakdown so you know exactly what you are paying for before work begins.
Does my HOA need to approve fence work before you start?
In most Southwest Florida communities, yes. HOAs in Estero, Bonita Springs, Naples, and Fort Myers typically regulate fence height, material, color, and placement. Some communities only allow specific fence types (vinyl in a particular color, for example). We recommend getting HOA approval before scheduling installation. For repairs using the same material and style as your existing fence, most HOAs do not require separate approval, but it is worth confirming with your association. We can help you identify the specifications of your existing fence for the approval application.
Can you repair fence damage from Hurricane Ian or Milton?
Absolutely. Hurricane fence repair is a significant part of our workload in Southwest Florida. Ian in 2022 and Helene and Milton in 2024 left a lot of fencing down, leaning, or missing panels across Lee and Collier counties. We handle everything from resetting leaning posts to full section rebuilds. If your fence was damaged by a fallen tree or wind, we remove the debris, assess what can be salvaged, and replace what cannot. Sandy soil makes post resetting especially common after storms — the ground shifts and posts lose their hold.
What are the Florida pool fence requirements?
Florida Building Code requires a pool barrier (fence or wall) at least 4 feet high with no openings that allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through. Gates in pool barriers must be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch positioned at least 54 inches from the ground on the pool side (or otherwise inaccessible to young children). Lee County and Collier County enforce these requirements during permitting and inspections. If your pool fence does not meet current code, we can bring it into compliance — whether that means adding a self-closing hinge, relocating a latch, or replacing sections that have gaps.
Should I choose vinyl or wood fencing in Southwest Florida?
Vinyl fencing is the more popular choice in our area for good reason. It does not rot, is not affected by termites, handles humidity without warping, and requires almost no maintenance beyond occasional pressure washing. Wood fencing costs less upfront but requires regular staining or sealing every 2–3 years to hold up against Southwest Florida moisture, and it is vulnerable to Formosan subterranean termites that are active across Lee and Collier counties. Aluminum fencing is another strong option, especially around pools, because it does not rust and meets pool barrier code without blocking the view. Your HOA may also limit which materials are allowed, so check that first.
