Repair vs Replacement - Which Should I Choose?
One of the most common questions we’re asked as fence specialists is whether it’s better to repair fencing or replace it entirely. Ultimately, there’s no universal answer to this question, as it depends on a few factors.
Extent of Damage
For cosmetic damage or loose panels, repairs could be the way to go. If the damage is more extensive, our professionals may recommend a replacement. For example, this might be the case for structural problems, rotting, or if you’ve previously tried repairs only for more problems to arise.
Budget
Naturally, repairs are the cheaper option of the two, while replacements will require a larger budget. It might be that you want to perform short-term repairs now, and then replace fully when you have the budget. Of course, we’ll always advise if we think your fencing needs a replacement now.
Fence Age
If your fence is at an age that we would consider to be the end of its life, the most cost-effective decision in the long term may be a full replacement. On the other hand, a fairly young fence may be the perfect candidate for simple repairs and maintenance.
Security
Since fencing is pivotal for the security of your property, we may recommend a replacement in cases where we think your fencing leaves you vulnerable. As well as potential crime, poor fencing can open the door to pests.
Property Value
If you’re planning to sell the property soon, this could impact whether you opt for repair or replacement. With a full replacement, you may just recuperate some of the cost through a higher selling price and increased interest from buyers.
Don’t worry, our specialists can visit your property and provide all the advice you need to decide between repair and replacement. If you have any questions, call our team or pop into our Northbrook showroom today!
A Short Guide to Codes and Permits in Northbrook
As a homeowner, you’re responsible for ensuring that your property adheres to all the relevant codes. We appreciate that knowing the right steps can be confusing, and this is where our experience comes in handy. We’ll guide you through the relevant permits, and ensure that your property meets the requirements at every stage.
For example, you’ll need to send two copies of the plat of survey, alongside the fence application. Does your fence need a permit application? All new installations are likely to need an application, as are replacements that cover more than 25% for each side.

Testimonials
When it comes to a Fence instillation.. there is no better company in the north shore/chicago that I would recommend more than Fenceworks. They truly care about each customer like their family. I was informed every step of the way, true transparency throughout. Pricing was fair and competitive, and the craftsmanship was truly amazing. I look forward to buying a playground, trampoline, and basketball hoop this spring to wrap up all my home improvement projects in the future!

Got multiple quotes for our new privacy fence in the back yard. Fenceworks was not only competitive with pricing, (and surprisingly reasonable), but also most importantly - They had the best ideas and options, confidently answering all of my (MANY) questions as to logistics. I knew I’d “like” whatever they did, but I am blown away as to the end result (all of which happened in one day!) far exceeded my expectations. [We do have a small Chicago yard, but can’t believe this was all done in a day, still.]
To say I am happy and would recommend this company to others is an understatement!
(5/8/25) - Fenceworks had put a “gate”/door in as part of our fence: It looks great, but…weather and settling happen, so it was difficult to open the door after several months. I called Fenceworks to mention it, and LITERALLY they came out the NEXT day and slightly altered it. It’s been working perfectly ever since. Again, highly recommend going with this company if you’re thinking about installing a fence.
