Windstorms in King County can knock over fence sections, snap posts, and leave your property exposed overnight. When that happens, you need a contractor who can respond quickly and get your fence back up.
New Ridge Fencing LLC handles storm damage fence repairs across Woodinville, Kirkland, Bothell, Kenmore, Bellevue, and the rest of King County. We’ve been doing this for 11+ years and we’ve seen what every major storm season leaves behind.

Common Storm Damage We Repair
Fallen Fence Sections
High winds can push entire sections of privacy fencing over, especially if the posts were undersized, not set deep enough, or have rotted at the base over time. We reset or replace posts, re-attach or rebuild panels, and get the fence standing straight again.
Snapped or Cracked Posts
Wind loads on a solid privacy fence are significant. Posts can snap at or below ground level, especially older posts weakened by moisture and rot. Post replacement is one of the most common storm repairs we handle.
Broken Rails and Boards
Flying debris, falling branches, and the force of a fence section going down can break individual boards and rails. We match the existing material and style whenever possible so the repair blends in.
Uprooted Trees on Fence Lines
A fallen tree can crush a fence section completely. In these cases, we coordinate with your tree service — once the tree is cleared, we rebuild the damaged section.
Gate Damage
Storm damage can knock gates out of alignment, bend hinges, or damage the gate frame. We repair and rehang gates to work properly again. See our gate services.
Repair or Replace After Storm Damage?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the rest of the fence. If a storm knocked down one or two sections but the rest of the fence is solid, repair is usually the smart call. If the storm exposed underlying problems — widespread post rot, old and brittle wood, failing connections — replacement may be more cost-effective. Read our full guide on repair vs. replacement.
If replacement makes sense, cedar fencing starts at $37/LF, chain link at $33/LF, and metal at $45/LF. Every project is quoted individually based on your specific situation.
Insurance and Storm Damage
Many homeowner’s insurance policies cover storm damage to fences. We can provide documentation of the damage and a detailed estimate that you can submit with your claim. Check with your insurance provider about your specific coverage.
Preventing Future Storm Damage
The best defense against storm damage is a properly built fence from the start. Posts set at the correct depth in concrete, quality hardware, and materials rated for our climate all make a difference. If your fence survived one storm but barely, it might be worth having us assess whether reinforcement or targeted upgrades could prevent damage next time.
