Replace Your Leaning or Damaged Fence

Shepherd Contracting Services rebuilds residential and commercial fences throughout Lubbock, Texas.

Your fence in Lubbock may be leaning after a windstorm, split along the rails from age, or tilting because the posts rotted below ground. A damaged fence does not hold up to wind pressure, does not keep pets or children contained, and makes the property look neglected. You need the old fence removed and a new one installed with posts set deep enough to resist the next storm.

Shepherd Contracting Services removes and reconstructs fences that have been damaged by weather or time, including post replacement and reinforcement for improved wind resistance. The work matches existing fence styles when only part of the fence needs rebuilding, and it includes clean tear-out and professional installation for a finished appearance. Solutions are tailored for storm-damaged or aged wood fencing common across Lubbock.

How a Fence Gets Torn Out and Rebuilt

A fence rebuild in Lubbock starts with removal of damaged panels, rails, and posts, including digging out rotted wood and breaking up old concrete footings. New post holes are dug to a depth that accounts for wind load and soil type, then posts are set in concrete and braced until the mix cures. Rails and pickets are installed after the posts are secure, and spacing is checked to keep the fence line straight.

When the rebuild is finished, you will see posts that stand vertical without wobble, pickets that align evenly from end to end, and rails that do not sag or twist. The fence will hold steady in high winds, and gates will swing smoothly without dragging on the ground.

The service includes complete removal of old materials, installation of new posts and panels, and cleanup of debris. Posts are set in concrete with proper depth and bracing, and materials are selected to match the existing fence when only sections are being replaced. This service does not include grading or landscaping along the fence line, but it does include disposal of torn-out materials.

What Homeowners Ask About Fence Rebuilds

Homeowners in Lubbock often ask about matching existing fences, post depth, and how long the work takes, so these questions cover the practical details that come up most frequently.

How deep should fence posts be set in Lubbock?
Posts should be set at least two feet deep in Lubbock soil, with an additional six inches of concrete for stability in high winds. Deeper holes are required for taller fences or corner posts that carry more load.
What causes wood fences to lean after a few years?
Wood fences lean when posts rot below ground, when holes were not dug deep enough, or when concrete footings were skipped. Wind pressure accelerates the lean once the post loses its anchor in the soil.
When should I rebuild instead of repairing the fence?
You should rebuild when more than half the posts are damaged, when the rails are cracked or twisted, or when the fence no longer stands straight after being pushed back into place. Repairs will not restore structural integrity if the foundation is compromised.
What happens to the old fence materials?
Old fence materials are pulled out, loaded, and hauled away as part of the rebuild. Wood is separated from metal fasteners and concrete, and debris is disposed of at an appropriate facility.
Why do fences in Lubbock need reinforcement?
Lubbock sits on the South Plains where sustained winds and gusts regularly exceed thirty miles per hour, so fences need deeper posts, secure rail connections, and proper bracing to stay upright. Standard installation methods used in calmer climates will not hold up here.
