Wind Damage, Leaning Posts and Broken Boards
Strong winds off Lake Ray Hubbard and clay soil that swells and shrinks are the two biggest reasons Rockwall fences lean. We straighten the fence and reset or replace failed posts in concrete, then replace broken boards, rails and pickets.
We also repair storm damage, falling-limb damage and rot at the ground line. Our leaning fence guide explains the most common causes.
Gate and Opener Repair in Rockwall
We fix gates that sag, drag or won’t latch, replace worn hinges, rollers and latches, and straighten bent iron gate frames. For automatic gates, we repair openers, sensors, keypads, remotes and battery backups.
Gate stopped working? Our gate troubleshooting guide lists a few safe checks, and our Rockwall crew can handle the rest.

Fence and Gate Repair Questions from Rockwall Homeowners
Answers to the questions Rockwall homeowners ask us most about fence and gate repair.
Do you repair fences another company installed?
Yes. Easton Fencing repairs cedar, wood and iron fences and swing and slide gates in Rockwall no matter who installed them.
Can you fix a fence damaged by wind off the lake?
Yes. We straighten wind-damaged fences, reset or replace broken posts in concrete and replace damaged boards and rails.
Can a leaning fence be fixed without replacing it?
Yes, in most cases. If the boards and rails are sound, we straighten the fence and reset or replace only the failed posts.
Do you repair automatic gate openers in Rockwall?
Yes. Easton Fencing repairs openers, sensors, keypads, remotes and battery backups. See our automatic gates in Rockwall.
How fast can you get to a repair in Rockwall?
We are based in Rockwall, so we can usually schedule repairs quickly. Many are finished in a single visit.
Should I repair or replace my fence?
If only a few posts or sections are damaged, repair is usually the better value. If several posts have failed and much of the wood has rotted, replacement may make more sense. Call (469) 544-9707 for an honest recommendation.
