In 2025, the cost of repairing a wooden fence can range significantly based on various factors. For minor repairs involving 1-3 boards, expect costs between $95 and $225. Moderate repairs, including hardware and minor post work, range from $225 to $450. Major repairs, such as post replacement and gate realignment, can cost $450 to $950. These figures include labor, materials, and disposal fees, but exact costs depend on your location and current material prices.
