Keep Your Fence Standing Strong
Michigan weather is tough on fences. Wind storms, heavy snow, and the freeze-thaw cycle take their toll — posts lean, panels loosen, and gates start to sag. Dewitt Fence Company offers fence repair and maintenance across Greater Lansing to keep your fence looking good and doing its job for years longer.
Repairs We Handle
- Storm & wind damage — replace blown-down sections and broken panels quickly.
- Leaning & heaved posts — reset or replace posts compromised by frost and time.
- Rotted wood & broken pickets — swap out failing boards and rails before they spread.
- Sagging gates — re-hang, re-align, and re-hardware gates that stick or drag.
- Chain link fixes — repair torn mesh, re-tension fabric, and replace damaged hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair fences you didn't install?
Yes. We repair fences of all types and brands throughout Greater Lansing, whether we built them or not. Send a few photos when you reach out and we can often give you a ballpark before we visit.
My fence post is leaning after winter — can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycle is hard on fence posts. Depending on the cause, we can reset or replace the post and re-secure the affected section so it stands straight again.
Is it worth repairing or should I replace the fence?
It depends on the age and overall condition. If most of the fence is sound, a targeted repair is the smart, affordable choice. If it’s nearing the end of its life, we’ll give you an honest assessment of repair vs. replacement costs.
