Emergency Fence Repair
When the fence is down and the dog is pacing the gap, you need someone on the phone, not a form that gets answered next week. Call, and say what happened.

What counts as an emergency
If the fence is keeping something in or out that matters today, it's urgent: a dog that can get out, a pool that's open to the street or the neighbors, a section that fell onto a sidewalk or a neighbor's yard, or a side of the house left open. A fence that's leaning but standing can wait for a normal estimate.
While you wait
- Stay away from any power line touching the fence. Call PG&E or 911.
- Keep pets inside or leashed, and keep everyone out of a pool area with a broken barrier.
- Close the gap with plywood, a spare panel, or wire fencing screwed or zip-tied to the standing posts, and stake the bottom edge. Dogs push under flimsy fixes.
- Take photos before you move anything.
What happens when you call
Say what happened, where you are, and what the fence needs to hold in. Your request goes to a local fence contractor. The first job is making the yard secure with a temporary fix or bracing; the permanent repair gets scheduled once the damage has been looked at properly.
What emergency fence repair usually costs
Same-day or after-hours visits can carry a premium, so ask on the call. Often the urgent part is a temporary fix to close the gap, and the permanent repair is priced like a normal job.
Every job is different, and the estimate is free. Full breakdown: fence repair costs in Brentwood.
An honest note on timing
How fast someone can come out depends on the contractor's schedule and how many people the same storm hit. No time is promised here that can't be kept. Calling early and sending photos is the best way to get on the schedule.
Emergency Fence Repair: common questions
Can someone come out today?
Sometimes, depending on the contractor's schedule and demand after a storm. Call to find out. Photos help them plan the visit.
Is emergency fence repair more expensive?
It can be, especially after hours. Ask on the call. Often the urgent part is a temporary fix, and the permanent repair is priced normally.
The fence fell on my neighbor's side. What should I do?
Tell them right away, take photos, and move sections that block a path or driveway if it's safe. If the fence is shared, you may be able to split the repair cost.
