About This Service
Most fences don't need to be torn out and replaced — they need their mesh replaced. If the posts in the ground are still sound, Modern Fence Install can remove your old, sagging, or rusted material and install our professional-grade non-electric containment mesh directly onto your existing framework. You save 40–60% versus a full replacement.
The most common scenario is old chain-link or other metal-post fences. The posts themselves are usually still solid in the ground — it's the chain-link mesh or screening that has rusted, sagged, or been pushed in by deer and dogs. Rather than digging out perfectly good posts, we leverage them and bring the fence back to like-new containment strength with our mesh.
During your free virtual consultation, share photos or short video of your fence — close-ups of the posts, the base, and any damaged sections. We'll evaluate post condition, plumb, and spacing to determine if reuse is the right call, and we'll send a transparent, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Existing posts kept — new mesh and hardware installed
Old chain-link mesh removed; posts re-used with our material
The mesh and hardware we install during a restoration is the exact same professional-grade material we use on brand-new installations — same gauge, same coatings, same hardware standards. Restored is not 'lower-tier.' It's the same fence, on your existing posts.
We restore fences regardless of who originally installed them. As long as the posts are structurally sound, we can work with them. If we find the posts aren't reusable, we'll tell you straight and recommend full replacement instead of patching something that won't last.
Crews installing our mesh directly on sound existing posts
Save 40–60% vs Replacement
Keeping your existing posts eliminates the biggest cost in a fence install — labor, digging, and concrete. You pay for the mesh upgrade, not a new framework.
Built for Chain-Link & Metal Posts
Our most common restoration: removing old chain-link mesh and installing our non-electric containment mesh on the existing metal posts.
Same Professional-Grade Mesh as New Installs
The mesh, wire, and hardware we use on restorations is identical to our new installations. No 'restoration-tier' shortcuts.
Honest Post Assessment
If your posts are sound, we reuse them. If they're not, we tell you up front and quote full replacement instead — no patchwork that won't last.
Hardware Upgrades Included
Gates, tensioners, and brackets are replaced as part of the restoration so the whole fence performs like new.
Faster Than Replacement
Most restorations finish in 1 day. No tear-out of posts, no digging, no concrete cure time — just new mesh on your existing framework.
Any Fence — Any Installer
We restore non-electric containment fences regardless of who put them in originally, as long as the posts are sound.
Same Containment Strength
A restored fence holds dogs, deer, and predators the same as a brand-new install — because it's the same mesh.

"Our chain-link was 20 years old and the mesh was shot, but the posts were rock solid. Modern Fence Install reused every post, swapped on their containment mesh, and it looks and performs like a brand new fence. We saved over $2,000 versus the replacement quotes we got."
