Fence Replacement
Swap Out What No Longer Stands Straight
Fence Replacement in Lubbock for sections leaning from wind damage or rotted posts failing inspection
Fine Build Construction removes and replaces deteriorated or unsafe fencing for homeowners and businesses across Lubbock when posts lean past vertical, panels split along rails, or gate frames no longer close without force. You receive full removal of old materials, including concrete footings, followed by installation of new posts, rails, and panels using updated fasteners and alignment. A crew evaluates which sections can remain and where complete tearout is necessary to meet current height and setback codes.
This service is needed when wood fences show rot at ground level, chain link fabric sags beyond retensioning, or vinyl panels crack from impact and sun exposure. Replacing failing sections restores property lines, keeps pets and children contained, and eliminates liability from leaning posts near sidewalks. Modern materials include composite boards that resist moisture, powder-coated steel that holds color, and pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact in alkaline soils common here.

What Happens During Removal and Reinstallation
You begin with a walkthrough where the crew marks sections to be removed, confirms property lines using survey stakes or plat maps, and identifies underground sprinkler lines or gas service. Old posts are pulled or cut at grade, and concrete footings are broken out if they interfere with new post placement. Debris is loaded and hauled the same day to keep your yard accessible.
After replacement, you will notice posts plumb in both directions, panels that sit level without gaps at the bottom, and gates that swing freely and latch without lifting. Fine Build Construction sets new posts in fresh concrete, aligns rails using string lines, and fastens pickets or privacy boards with corrosion-resistant hardware. You see clean edges where old fence met driveways or flower beds, and no soil mounding from backfill.
The work includes setting posts to frost-free depth, though frost heave is rare in this region. It does not include grading to fix drainage issues, relocating sprinkler heads, or painting and staining unless added separately. If your replacement changes fence height or position, the crew verifies compliance with setback rules before installation begins.
Common Questions About Replacing an Existing Fence
Property owners frequently ask about timing, disposal, and whether partial replacement saves cost compared to full removal.
What gets removed during a typical fence replacement?
All posts, rails, panels, gates, and hardware are pulled, along with any concrete footings that sit where new posts will be placed or that protrude above grade.
How long does a full backyard replacement take?
Most residential perimeter replacements are completed in two to three days depending on linear footage, material type, and whether old footings require jackhammering in caliche layers.
When should you replace only part of a fence instead of the whole run?
Partial replacement works when damage is isolated to a few panels and the remaining structure is plumb, rot-free, and built with materials still available to match height and style.
Why upgrade to composite or vinyl during replacement?
These materials eliminate the staining and sealing cycle, resist splintering and insect damage, and maintain appearance longer under Lubbock sun and wind without seasonal maintenance.
What happens if the new fence line is slightly off from the old one?
The crew confirms property boundaries using your survey or plat before setting posts to avoid encroachment disputes and ensure the fence stays within your lot.
