Types of Fence Damage We Repair
Storm & Hurricane Damage
Southeast Louisiana is no stranger to severe weather. High winds, heavy rain, and hurricanes can flatten entire fence sections, snap posts, and tear panels loose. Northbound Fences responds quickly to storm damage calls across Covington, Mandeville, Slidell, and surrounding areas. We repair and rebuild wood, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum fences damaged by storms — and we accept insurance claims to make the process easier on you.
Fallen Tree Damage
Fallen trees are one of the most common causes of fence damage in wooded areas like St. Tammany Parish. A single fallen tree can destroy multiple fence sections, crush posts, and bend metal components. Our team removes debris, replaces damaged sections, and restores your fence to its original condition. We work with your insurance company and provide documentation to support your claim.
Wood Rot & Decay
Louisiana's high humidity and frequent rainfall create the perfect conditions for wood rot. Posts that sit in the ground are especially vulnerable. We replace rotted posts, rails, and pickets with pressure-treated lumber that resists moisture and insects. If your wood fence is showing signs of soft spots, discoloration, or fungal growth, call us before the damage spreads.
Leaning & Shifting Fences
When fence posts shift due to ground settling, root growth, or erosion, your fence starts to lean and look uneven. This is more than a cosmetic issue — a leaning fence is structurally compromised and can collapse. We reset or replace affected posts, re-level the fence line, and reinforce the structure.
Animal Damage
Dogs digging under fences, deer crashing through rails, and livestock pushing against panels are all common in our area. We repair animal-caused damage and can add reinforcements like buried mesh, kickboards, or stronger bottom rails to prevent future issues.
We Accept Insurance Claims
If your fence was damaged by a storm, fallen tree, or other covered event, Northbound Fences makes the repair process simple. We accept cash, checks, and insurance claims. We provide detailed estimates and documentation that your insurance company needs to process your claim. Don't let a damaged fence sit — call us at (985) 630-4452 and we'll take care of the rest.
