What to Do When a Storm Damages Your Fence in Edmond
Oklahoma storms do not give much notice, and a fence is often the first thing to go. One round of straight line wind or a heavy ice load, and a run that looked fine yesterday is flat in the yard this morning. If that has happened to you, here is how to handle it calmly and get things back to normal.
First, Keep Everyone Safe
Before anything else, look for hazards. A downed fence can hide broken boards with exposed nails, and a chain link section can leave sharp edges or loose wire. If a fence post took power lines with it, stay well clear and call the utility. Keep kids and pets inside until you have looked things over.
Close the Gap Temporarily
An open fence means an open yard. If pets or small children use the space, put up a temporary barrier so nobody wanders off while you arrange a repair. A few stakes and some mesh, or even a stretch of caution tape across a gap, buys you time until the real fix happens.
Take Photos Before You Move Anything
If you plan to file an insurance claim, photograph the damage from a few angles before you clean up or move debris. Clear pictures of what came down, and what caused it, make the claim smoother. Save them somewhere you can find them.
Call for a Repair Sooner Than Later
After a big storm, every fence company in the area gets busy at once, so the sooner you call, the sooner you are on the schedule. When you reach out, describe what happened and roughly how much came down. That helps us bring the right materials and, for straightforward jobs, often finish the same day.
Repair or Replace?
Not every storm means a full replacement. If the posts are still sound and only a section of panels or mesh came down, a repair usually puts things right for far less. We will walk the fence with you, show you what we find, and give you an honest recommendation either way.
If a storm has left your Edmond fence damaged, we are ready to help. Call Redbud Fence & Repair at (405) 658-1582 for a fast, free estimate and we will get your yard closed back up.
Fences We Repair in the Edmond Area
Whatever went up around your yard, we most likely fix it. Here is what we get called for most.
Wood and cedar
We reset leaning or rotted posts in concrete, replace cracked and missing pickets and boards matched to your fence, and re-secure loose rails so the whole run stands straight again.
Chain link
We restretch sagging mesh, straighten or replace bent posts, repair top rails and bottom tension wire, and fix gates that drag or will not latch.
Gates
The part that moves every day, so it usually fails first. We rehang dragging gates, square the frame, and swap worn hinges and latches so they close clean every time.
Posts
One failed post pulls the sections beside it out of line. We pull it and set a new one in concrete so the problem stops spreading down the fence.
Storm damage
Straight line winds and ice take sections down fast. We secure or rebuild them quickly, often the same day for straightforward jobs.
What You Can Expect to Pay
Everyone wants a ballpark before they call, so here is an honest one for the Edmond area. These are typical ranges, not a quote. What moves the price most is the material, whether the posts are sound or need resetting in concrete, and how much of the fence is affected. A single panel is quick and cheap. A run flattened by a storm is a bigger job. We put the firm number in writing after a free look, so there are no surprises.

Fence Repair Done the Neighborly Way
Redbud Fence & Repair provides fence repair in Edmond, OK, and we treat your yard the way we would want ours treated. Leaning posts, cracked cedar boards, rusted chain link, sagging gates, loose rails: if it is holding your fence back, we set it right. We work on wood, chain link, vinyl, aluminum, and wrought iron, so it does not matter what went up around your place years ago.
We are a local, family run crew, and Edmond is home. We know the clay soil off Broadway that heaves posts after a wet spring, the long summer heat that dries out cedar, and the ice storms that roll through Oklahoma County without much warning. That local knowledge is a big part of why our repairs tend to hold up instead of failing again the next season.
There is usually no reason to replace a whole fence when a repair will carry it for years. We will tell you honestly which one your fence actually needs, walk the line with you so you can see what we see, and hand you a written price before we start. Most repairs wrap up in a single visit, and we always haul off the old material and leave the yard clean.
- Straight answersWe tell you whether a repair will hold or a replacement makes more sense. No pressure either way.
- One visit, most jobsWe come prepared to finish, so you are not left with an open yard for days on end.
