About Us
How We Got Started
It often starts the same way for homeowners in Portland. After a week of steady rain, you look outside and notice your fence leaning just a little more than before. The gate no longer closes properly. A post feels soft at the base. What once felt solid now feels uncertain.
We started Elite Fence Repair Portland because we got tired of watching this story end the same way... with homeowners being told they needed a $6,000 to $10,000 full replacement when the real problem was a couple of failing posts or fixable structural damage. After years working in the fencing trade across the Portland Metro area, we saw it happen over and over. Good people spending thousands more than necessary because no one took the time to assess what could actually be saved.
Here's what we realized: in the Pacific Northwest, fences rarely fail because someone neglected them. They fail because the environment is relentless. Constant rain saturates the soil. Shifting ground destabilizes posts. Wind and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles wear down even the strongest cedar, vinyl, and metal fences. The damage happens slowly, quietly... until one day it doesn't feel safe anymore.
We saw a gap in the market. Big installation companies wanted new builds. Handymen offered quick patches that lasted one season. But almost no one specialized in professional structural repairs designed specifically for Portland's wet climate and unstable soil conditions. So we built a company to fill that gap.
What started as a small, local repair operation grew into something bigger, a mission to serve homeowners across Portland, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Beaverton, Tigard, and Happy Valley who deserved honest answers and solutions that actually last. We're licensed, insured, and focused entirely on doing repair work the right way.
Today, our mission hasn't changed: help homeowners protect their privacy, security, and property value by restoring fences using techniques and materials that hold up against everything the Northwest throws at them.
What Drives Everything We Do
We believe a fence is more than a boundary line. It protects families, keeps pets safe, guards your privacy, and shapes how your home looks from the street. That belief drives how we approach every single project.
We don't rush jobs. We don't cut corners. And we don't recommend full replacements unless they're truly necessary. Our goal is always to give you the most practical, long-term solution... not the most expensive one.
Quality, transparency, and respect for your property guide everything we do. From the moment you call for a free estimate to the final walkthrough after we finish, you'll get clear communication, honest pricing, and craftsmanship built to handle Portland's wet soil, shifting ground, and heavy rainfall. We understand what causes leaning posts, rotted cedar, sagging gates, and unstable fence lines, and we fix the root problem, not just the symptoms.
Because we're locally owned and operated, we treat every property like it belongs to someone we know. Whether we're working in Lake Oswego, Sherwood, Tualatin, or Hillsboro, the mindset stays the same: do the job correctly, treat the space with care, and leave the fence stronger than we found it.
