When a fence panel starts to lean or a gate no longer latches, the security and curb appeal of your Salem home drops fast. CountBricks combines on-site expertise with AI-powered estimating to bring your fence back to life quickly and cost-effectively. In this guide we cover everything a homeowner needs to know about fence repair in Salem, Oregon—materials, timelines, cost ranges, and how CountBricks makes the entire process seamless.
• Rotting cedar or pine pickets from Oregon’s wet winters
• Warped rails and posts caused by fluctuating temperatures
• Wind-damaged chain-link sections after seasonal storms
• Sagging gates that drag on concrete driveways
• Loose hardware and rusted fasteners reducing structural integrity
Traditional contractors still scribble numbers on a clipboard. CountBricks captures the scope of work via a quick voice conversation, generates a detailed material takeoff, and produces a line-item estimate in minutes. Our software pulls real-time pricing from local suppliers in Salem, ensuring you never overpay for lumber, hardware, or concrete mix. See a sample at CountBricks.com/services.
Pricing varies with length, material, and the extent of damage, but our job data across Marion and Polk counties shows:
• Minor repairs (replacing up to 5 pickets, re-securing a post): \$220–\$450
• Moderate repairs (gate rehanging, 8–12 pickets, post footing reset): \$450–\$850
• Major section rebuilds (20+ pickets, multiple posts, new hardware): \$850–\$1,500+

Salem averages 43 inches of rain annually. CountBricks recommends sinking posts at least 30 inches with fast-setting concrete and using hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware to stop corrosion. Our AI defaults to these specifications, so your quote automatically reflects best practices for local soil conditions.
