Fence Repair in Parker, TX
We reset failed posts and rebuild whole sections for homeowners in Parker, Murphy, and Allen.
Wind Damage on Exposed Lots
A fence in a tight subdivision sits in a pocket. Houses on both sides, trees overhead, maybe a building behind it. The wind arrives there tired.
A Parker fence has none of that protection. Two acres of open ground, no tree breaks, no neighboring structure to slow anything down. The fence stands alone and it takes the full push. When we get a repair call from Parker, we already know which direction to look.
- Every post gets checked, not only the one that dropped.
- We read which way the run leans, because wind damage tells you where it came from.
- The base of each post gets probed where the steel meets the concrete.
- The damage gets measured post by post, so you know how much fence is actually in the job.
Repairs We Handle
Fence repair in Parker means structural work. Posts that failed, runs that leaned over, whole sections a wind event laid flat. On acreage that is nearly all a repair call ever is.
- Post replacement where a post has snapped, rotted at the soil line, or leaned past holding.
- Whole section rebuilds where a stretch has gone over or twisted beyond straightening.
- Storm work on runs that came down in a Collin County wind event, sometimes 80 miles per hour across open ground with nothing in the way.
- Kicker board replacement along the base, the piece people call a rot board.
- Rebuilds on runs that someone propped up with stakes or lumber leaned against them, which is not a repair.
We rebuild in cedar, and on the open stretches we also put back ornamental iron.
How Exposed Runs Fail
Parker fences do not fail the same way a subdivision fence does. The combination of length and exposure changes the mechanics. Here is what actually happens.
Wind on Open Ground
In a neighborhood, each row of houses steals energy from the wind before it reaches the next fence. On a Parker lot there is no first row. The gust crosses open land and arrives at your fence at the same speed it started with.
That is not a small difference. The same weather that rattles boards in Plano or Allen arrives here with enough force to push a post out of the ground. Fences on open lots fail in whole stretches, not one panel at a time.
Why Parker Requires Open Construction
Parker's fence code asks for 50 percent open construction on most lots. Solid fencing catches every gust like a sail. An open fence lets half the wind pass through, which cuts the load on the posts dramatically.
That code was written for a reason. If your fence is solid where it is not supposed to be, it is catching more wind than the posts were sized for. That is one of the first things we look at on a repair walk through.
How One Post Takes a Section
A fence isn't a row of independent posts. It's one connected structure. When one post lets go, the rails it carried now hang off the posts on either side. Those two posts are suddenly doing three posts' work every time the wind blows.
On a short subdivision run, that extra load might hold for years. On a long exposed run, it holds for months. A repair that would have been two posts in March is six by August. So we check every post on the line, not just the ones that are visibly leaning.
Hidden Damage on Far Stretches
Nobody walks the back corner of a two-acre lot every week. A run can be leaning out there for a full season before anyone notices, quietly loading its neighbors the whole time.
Sight down the line from one end, not straight at it. A lean shows up from the end that you would miss from 10 feet away.
Push on a post at chest height. Movement at the base means the ground has let go.
Check the stretch that faces open ground first. That side takes the weather before anything else does.
Look at the rails where they meet the posts, not only at the boards.
What Goes Back Into the Ground
Posts still hard and tight at the ground line stay. Anything leaning more than a few degrees, or soft at the base, comes out with the concrete around it. Parker's own code says a fence cannot be out of vertical alignment more than 20 percent. We hold a tighter line than that.
Heavy duty galvanized steel posts, coated so rust never gets started.
Set 3 feet into the ground, which matters more here than anywhere else we work. Shallow posts on an exposed lot are the reason for most of the repair calls we get.
Set 6 feet apart, not the 8 feet the industry treats as standard. Closer spacing shares the wind load across more posts per linear foot.
A kicker board along the base, keeping the boards up off damp dirt.
On a run this exposed, that spacing and depth are not details. They are the difference between a repair that lasts and one that sends you back to the phone in two years.
How a Parker Fence Repair Runs
- Send photos or call, and we'll come walk the whole run with you.
- We check every post along the line and measure what is actually damaged, not just what fell.
- You approve a scope that names each post and each section, so nothing gets added once the crew is out there.
- Posts go in first, then framing, then boards. On a permitted repair, we handle the city inspection at the end.
- The old material leaves with us.
What Our Customers Say

Very responsive and fixed my fence issue professionally and quickly. Excellent communication and workmanship. Highly recommended!
My Mom and Dad found Mom’s Fence Man they were so pleased with their quality workmanship on their new fence and I was so happy to hear how they had such a great experience. I also had a beautiful new gate with fence built and most recently a new beautiful shared backyard fence. They went above and beyond communicating from the beginning with several easy to understand quotes to updates through the materials arriving and updates of their arrival on the day of work. Throughout the process from the beginning up to the building of my new fence I was able to continue my daily work and scheduled appointments with no interruptions and have peace of mind.
He did a great job, was very communicative and easy to work with! Highly recommend!
I can’t thank Bill, Yvette and the rest of the team at Mom’ Fence Man for their dedication and hard work with replacing my 21yr old fence. From the design process to the demo and installation, the entire process and project were handled with the utmost care and dedication to excellence. I would highly recommend Mom’s Fence Man to anyone looking to install or replace their fence. Thank you Bill, Yvette and the rest of the team for bringing my dream to life! I can’t thank you enough! :) Tracy Marshall #momsfenceman #customerservice #amazing #teamwork #trustedpartner #excellence #expertcraftsmanship
Bill came out and fixed the issues I had. He is so helpful and kind. I love working with this company
My experience with Mom’s Fence Man in replacing my old 6’ fence with a beautifully crafted 8’ fence was 100% positive. The communication was excellent from start to finish. I always knew what to expect and the timelines given were accurate so I was able to plan my time accordingly. Bill helped with the design options and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Home repairs and improvements have always been something I dread, but this experience showed me that doesn’t have to be the case if you have the right company. I highly recommend them.
Bill and his team were very professional, easy to work with, and provided great guidance throughout the process. They did an excellent job with our fence replacement and repairs, and we’re very happy with the results. Highly recommend Bill and his team!
Fantastic work! Yvette and crew took great care in removing and replacing our fence. They took their time and did it right. We are thrilled with the final product and give Mom's Fence Man our highest recommendation.
When I called Bill he answered the phone and we made an appointment to get an estimate to repair my fence. He showed up on time and provided a reasonable estimate. Two weeks later as scheduled his reliable and professional crew arrived on time and completed my repairs the same day to my satisfaction. He was very nice and honest to work with. If I need more repairs in the future I will call him. I recommend you at least call for an estimate and I think you will be pleased! (I had called another company after I spoke to Bill to get a second estimate and to this day they never returned my call. That he answered my call impressed me a lot!)
Frequently Asked Questions
My fence leans the same way for a hundred feet. Is that fixable without replacing everything?
It depends on what the posts look like underground. A lean that runs in one direction across a long stretch is wind pushing the whole run, not one post rotting. Some of those posts may still be solid at the base and can be reset. Others have to come out. We check each one and quote only what actually failed.
Does Parker's open construction rule apply to a repair?
If the original fence was built as open construction, the repair goes back the same way. If you have a solid stretch on a lot that is not along Parker Road, Dillehay Drive, or Hogge Drive and not within 30 feet of a pool, the city may flag it. We check the code before we quote the repair so that does not become your problem after the work is done.
How do I check the back of my property myself?
Sight down the line from one end rather than looking at it head on. A lean that is invisible from 10 feet away shows up clearly from the corner post. Then push on a few posts at chest height. If the base moves in the ground, that post is done even if the boards above it look fine.
Two posts are down. Should I fix just those or check the whole run?
Check the whole run. The posts on either side of the ones that failed are now carrying extra load. On an exposed lot with nothing to break the wind, that extra load will push them past their limit faster than you expect. We would rather tell you the rest of the run is sound than have you call again in four months.
Does repair work carry your warranty?
Yes. Repairs carry a 3 month craftsmanship warranty. If a post we set moves inside that window, we come back out and reset it. You do not pay twice for the same post.
