Need fence repair in Burnaby? You’re in the right place. Whether your fence is leaning, boards are broken, or a storm knocked the whole thing sideways, we fix it. Fast.
Burnaby’s coastal weather is tough on fences. Constant rain rots wood from the inside out. Wind loosens posts. Moss and algae eat through stain. And our freeze-thaw cycles heave fence posts right out of the ground. If your fence looks tired, it probably needs help.
At Eddy Property Services, we handle every kind of fence repair, wood, chain link, vinyl, and metal. We fix leaning fences, replace broken boards, repair gates, reset posts, and rebuild entire sections. Licensed, insured, and based right here in Burnaby.
Types of Fence Repair We Handle in Burnaby
Every fence has different problems. Here’s what we see most in Burnaby, and how we fix each one.
Wood Fence Repair
Wood fence repair is our most common call. Cedar fences are popular in Burnaby, but they don’t last forever, especially without regular maintenance.
Common Problems- Rotting boards, especially at the bottom where they touch soil
- Cracked or split pickets from sun exposure and temperature swings
- Warped rails that pull away from posts
- Faded, peeling stain that leaves wood unprotected
We replace rotted or broken boards with matching cedar. We straighten warped rails and resecure them to posts. For fences that are still structurally sound but look rough, we recommend our pressure washing service to strip away moss, algae, and old stain — then a fresh coat of stain or paint to protect the wood for years.
Chain Link Fence Repair
Chain link fences are low-maintenance, but they’re not indestructible. We see a lot of chain link damage in Burnaby from falling branches, vehicle bumps, and general wear.
Common Problems- Bent or leaning posts
- Torn or stretched mesh
- Broken tension bands and rail ends
- Sagging top rails and gates that drag or won’t latch
We straighten bent posts, replace damaged mesh sections, and retighten sagging fences. For badly damaged sections, we replace the entire panel. We also install new tension wire to keep the mesh taut and looking clean.
Fence Post Replacement
Fence post repair is often the most critical part of any fence fix. A fence is only as strong as its posts. When posts rot, lean, or snap — the entire fence follows.
What Causes It- Ground moisture rots wood posts below the surface where you can’t see it
- Concrete footings crack during freeze-thaw cycles
- Wind puts constant lateral pressure on corner and end posts
We dig out the old post, pour a new concrete footing, and set a fresh pressure-treated post. For chronic problem areas, we use steel post brackets or metal post bases to keep the wood off the ground completely. Your fence won’t lean again.
Gate Repair & Installation
Gates take the most abuse of any part of your fence. They get opened and closed thousands of times. They sag. They drag. They won’t latch. And in Burnaby’s wet weather, gate hardware rusts out fast.
Common Problems- Sagging gates that drag on the ground
- Latches that don’t line up and broken hinges
- Gates that swing open on their own
- Rotted gate frames on wood fences
We rehang sagging gates with heavy-duty hardware. We install anti-sag kits with tension cables. We replace rusted hinges and latches. For wood gates that are too far gone, we build and install a new gate that matches your existing fence. Need a new gate where there isn’t one? We cut in a new opening and install a custom gate.

Signs Your Burnaby Fence Needs Repair
Not sure if your fence needs professional help? Here are the warning signs Burnaby homeowners should watch for:
Leaning posts.
If your fence leans more than a couple of inches, the posts are failing. This only gets worse. A leaning fence in a windstorm can collapse onto your yard, your neighbour’s property, or your car.
Rotting boards.
Poke the bottom of your fence boards with a screwdriver. If it sinks in easily, the wood is rotted. Burnaby’s rain accelerates rot, especially on north-facing fences that never fully dry out.
Loose or missing pickets.
Gaps in your fence are a security issue. Pets escape. Kids wander. And it looks bad. Loose boards flap in the wind and damage neighbouring pickets too.
Sagging gates.
If your gate drags on the ground, scrapes the driveway, or won’t close, it needs attention. A sagging gate puts stress on the hinge post and can pull the whole fence section out of alignment.
Moss, algae, or green film.
This is common on Burnaby fences, especially in shaded, damp areas. Moss holds moisture against the wood and speeds up rot. A good pressure wash followed by stain can add years to your fence.
Storm damage.
Fallen branches, high winds, and heavy snow loads can snap posts, break boards, and flatten entire fence sections. After any major storm, walk your fence line and check for damage.
Catching problems early saves money. A $150 post repair today prevents a $2,000 full fence replacement next year.
Fence Repair vs. Replacement: Which Do You Need?
This is the honest advice we give every customer: repair when you can, replace when you must.
Choose repair when:
The damage is limited to a few boards, one or two posts, or the gate hardware. The fence is less than 10–15 years old and mostly in good shape. The main structure (posts and rails) is still solid. You’re on a budget and want to extend the fence’s life a few more years.
Choose replacement when:
More than 30–40% of the posts are rotted or leaning. Multiple sections are damaged beyond repair. The fence is 20+ years old and repairs keep adding up. You want to change the fence style, height, or material. The cost to repair is more than half the cost to replace.
We’ll give you a straight answer. If a $300 repair will keep your fence standing for another 5 years, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing money at a fence that needs replacing, we’ll tell you that too. We don’t upsell.
Need a full fence replacement in Burnaby? We handle that too, from tear-down to post-setting to the final picket. Call 236-880-8768 for a free on-site assessment.

How to Repair a Leaning Fence: DIY vs. Professional Help
Wondering how to repair a leaning fence? Here’s the reality: fence post repair isn’t always a quick weekend project. If your fence is leaning, the posts have likely shifted in the ground or rotted at the base.
A proper repair involves digging out the old post, removing rotted sections, and re-setting it in concrete. If the post is completely rotted, you’ll need a replacement. This requires the right tools, materials, and know-how to ensure the repair lasts.
For simple fixes like tightening loose boards, DIY might work. But for structural issues like leaning posts or broken frames, it’s worth calling in the pros. We’ll diagnose the problem, fix it right, and save you the hassle of a half-done repair.
Fence Repair FAQs
How much does fence repair cost in Burnaby?
Most fence repairs cost between $100 and $400 depending on the problem. Replacing a single broken board starts at our $100 minimum. Post replacements run $200–$400 per post. Full section rebuilds or storm damage repairs can cost $400–$800+. We provide free on-site estimates — we’ll walk your fence line and give you a price before we start any work.
Do I need a permit for fence repair in Burnaby?
For standard repairs like replacing boards, resetting posts, or fixing gates, no permit is needed. If you’re building a brand new fence or replacing an entire fence that exceeds Burnaby’s height limits (typically 6 feet in back yards, 4 feet in front yards), you may need a permit from the City of Burnaby. We can advise you on what your project requires.
How long does fence repair take?
Most repairs are done in a single visit. Replacing a few boards takes about an hour. Post replacement takes 1.5–3 hours per post (concrete needs to cure, but the fence is usable right away). Full section rebuilds take half a day to a full day depending on size. We’ll give you a time estimate when we quote the job.
Can you repair fences in the rain?
Yes. We work in Burnaby weather year-round. Light to moderate rain doesn’t stop us from doing structural repairs, post replacements, or board swaps. The only thing we’ll delay is staining or painting, which needs dry conditions to cure properly. For staining, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit when the weather cooperates.
What type of wood is best for fences in Burnaby?
Western red cedar is the gold standard for Burnaby fences. It’s naturally rot-resistant, handles our wet climate well, and ages to a beautiful silver-grey. Pressure-treated lumber is a more affordable option and works well for posts and rails. We recommend cedar pickets on pressure-treated frames for the best balance of durability and cost.
My fence is on the property line. Who pays for repairs?
In BC, if a fence sits directly on the property line, both neighbours typically share the cost of repairs equally. If the fence is entirely on your property, it’s your responsibility. We recommend talking to your neighbour before starting work. We can provide a written quote that you can share with them to split the cost.

Fence Post Repair: Why It Matters
Your fence posts are the backbone of your entire fence. When they fail, the whole structure becomes unstable. Fence post repair is one of our most common services in Burnaby because posts take the brunt of weather, soil movement, and time.
We start by assessing the damage. If the post is still solid, we might be able to reinforce it. If it’s rotted or beyond repair, we’ll replace it with a treated post that’s built to last. Either way, we’ll make sure your fence stands strong for years to come.
