When your fence is damaged, whether from severe weather, accidents, or simply wear and tear over time, it's essential to address the issue promptly. At MW Fence, we understand the importance of maintaining your property's security and aesthetics. Let's explore various fence repair options, including insurance coverage.
Professional Fence Repair
Instead of trying to DIY fence repair, professional repair is often the best solution as they provide:
- Specialised assessment of damage extent
- Proper tools and materials for lasting repairs
- Knowledge of local building codes and regulations
- Expertise in working with insurance companies
Professional repairs ensure your fence remains sturdy and visually appealing.
When to Consider Fence Replacement
However, there are times when repairing a fence isn't the most cost-effective option. Consider replacement if:
- The fence is old and frequently needs repairs
- Damage affects more than 20-30% of the fence
- You want to upgrade to a more durable or attractive fencing material
MW Fence offers a wide range of fencing options for replacement, from classic wood to modern vinyl and long-lasting aluminium or steel fences.
Commercial Fence Repair
When it comes to businesses, a well-maintained fence is crucial for security and professionalism. Commercial fence repair often involves:
- Heavy-duty materials and construction
- Compliance with commercial zoning laws
- Minimal disruption to business operations
At MW Fence, we specialize in commercial fence repair, ensuring your business property remains secure and presentable.
Residential Fence Repair
On the other hand, residential fence repair focuses on both functionality and aesthetics:
- Matching existing fence styles and materials
- Addressing privacy concerns
- Enhancing curb appeal
Our team at MW Fence understands the unique needs of residential properties, especially with shared fences, and can provide tailored repair solutions.
Insurance Coverage for Fence Repair
Unfortunately, the cost of fixing a fence can often discourage homeowners from making timely repairs.This is because many homeowners are unaware that their insurance may cover fence repairs under certain circumstances:
- Typically covered under "other structures" in your policy
- Usually about 10% of your dwelling coverage limit
- Covers damage from covered perils like storms or fallen trees
However, insurance coverage has some caveats:
- Damage must be from a covered peril, not neglect or wear and tear
- You'll need to pay your deductible before coverage kicks in
- Claims may affect future premiums
Before filing a claim, consider the repair cost versus your deductible and potential premium increases.
Choosing the Right Fence Repair Service
When selecting a fence repair service, consider:
- Experience and expertise in various fence types (including over various terrain types)
- Proper licensing and insurance
- Customer reviews and testimonials
- Warranty on repairs
At MW Fence, we pride ourselves on meeting all these criteria and more.
