On most older fences the posts are still solid and the mesh is finished. If yours are sound, we remove the failed material and install our non-electric containment mesh on the framework you already paid for.
About This Service
Fences rarely fail all at once. The mesh rusts, sags, or gets pushed in by deer and dogs long before the posts give up, and posts set in concrete often outlast the material hanging on them by decades.
That's the case for restoration. If the posts are plumb, solid in the ground and correctly spaced, we strip the failed material and install our professional-grade non-electric containment mesh on the existing framework — you skip the digging, the concrete and the post labour, which is the expensive part of any fence.
The most common candidate is old chain-link or another metal-post fence. The mesh is finished; the posts are fine. Pulling out serviceable posts to replace them with new serviceable posts is money spent on no improvement.
Existing posts kept — new mesh and hardware installed
Old chain-link removed; posts reused with our material
The mesh, wire and hardware used on a restoration are the same specification we install on new projects. There is no restoration-grade shortcut material — the difference is what we reuse, not what we install.
During the free virtual assessment we look at post plumb, base condition, rust and spacing. If the posts are sound we say so; if they aren't, we say that too and quote a full replacement rather than hanging good material on a framework that won't hold it.
Our mesh installed directly on sound existing posts
Costs less than full replacement
You skip digging, concrete and post labour — the largest line item in a new fence — and pay for the mesh upgrade.
Built for chain-link and metal posts
Our most common restoration: removing failed chain-link mesh and installing containment mesh on the existing posts.
Same material as new installs
Identical professional-grade mesh, wire and hardware. No restoration-tier substitutes.
Honest post assessment
Sound posts get reused. Bad posts get called out and quoted as replacement — no patchwork.
Hardware replaced too
Gates, tensioners and brackets are part of the scope so the whole fence operates properly.
Less disruption
No post extraction, no digging and no concrete cure across your yard.
Any original installer
We work on existing fences regardless of who put them in, provided the framework is sound.
Timeline in writing
Your dates and duration are confirmed in your written proposal before work begins.
What homeowners ask us
Restoration only makes sense when the framework is genuinely sound. Here's what we look at and what changes the answer.
Plumb, movement at the base, rust at the ground line, and whether the footing is intact. A post that's straight, tight in the ground and not rusted through at grade is a post worth keeping.
Existing spacing has to suit the mesh we're installing and the tension it carries. Where spacing is too wide, adding intermediate posts is usually still far cheaper than a full rebuild.
Mesh, tensioners, brackets and gate hardware are replaced as part of the work. Reusing tired hardware is how a restored fence ends up feeling like a repair instead of an upgrade.
Leaning, bent or rotted posts, failed footings, or a line that's structurally wrong for what you need now. We'd rather lose the smaller job than install good mesh onto a framework that will pull it out of true.
The largest cost in a new fence is post work: digging, setting, concrete and the labour around it. Restoration skips that entirely, so you're paying for material and installation rather than for a framework you already own.
We restore fences regardless of who originally installed them, as long as the posts are structurally sound. Bring photos of the posts and base to the consultation and we'll tell you where you stand.

How It Works
A simple, transparent process from start to finish — no surprises.
Share photos or short video — especially the posts and the base. We evaluate whether the framework can be reused.
You get a written quote covering mesh removal, new material, hardware and timeline.
We strip the failed material, inspect each post, and install our professional-grade non-electric containment mesh on the existing framework.
We walk the finished line and gates with you so you know exactly what was replaced and what was kept.
See the Difference
| Feature | Our Fence | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower — no post labour, digging or concrete | Full price for posts, labour and materials |
| Disruption | Minimal — no digging or concrete | Full tear-out, post holes and rebuild |
| Mesh and hardware | Same professional-grade as new installs | Same professional-grade as new installs |
| Framework | Your existing posts, inspected and reused | New posts, newly set |
| When to choose | Posts are plumb, solid and correctly spaced | Posts are rotted, bent, leaning or missing |
