Post Repair & Replacement

Stop The Domino Effect of a Failed Post

A single leaning or rotted fence post isn't just an eyesore — it puts massive structural strain on adjacent posts and panels, often leading to a cascade of fence failures across your property. Sacramento's soil moisture, heavy winter rains, and hot summers accelerate subterranean wood rot right at ground level where posts meet concrete.

At Palisade Fence Co., we specialize in targeted fence post replacement. Whether you need a residential fence update or commercial perimeter support, our hydraulic extraction methods ensure we replace compromised posts cleanly without disturbing adjacent fence sections.

Pairing your post repair with fence staining & sealing guarantees that your renewed fence line remains protected for years to come.

Why It Matters

Four Benefits of Professional Post Replacement

Fixing posts early saves thousands compared to full fence replacement.

Rot Diagnosis

We probe every post for internal rot not visible on the surface, identifying all compromised posts before work begins.

Concrete Footing Removal

Old concrete bells are broken out completely, not left in the ground, ensuring the new post sets properly in fresh concrete.

Pressure-Treated Wood

All replacement posts use #1-grade pressure-treated or clear redwood lumber rated for ground contact (UC4B).

Same-Day Stabilization

Leaning or broken posts can be temporarily braced and stabilized on the same day of the service call.

How We Work

Our 6-Step Post Replacement Process

Precision excavation, laser plumbing, and fast-set concrete for permanent stability.

1

Post-by-Post Inspection

We probe, tap, and moisture-test every post to map all compromised members before digging begins.

2

Old Post Extraction

Using hydraulic post pullers, we safely remove the failed post and concrete footing without disturbing adjacent panels.

3

Footing Excavation

We dig 18–24 inches deep in Sacramento's clay soil to ensure the new footing sets below the moisture zone.

4

New Post Setting

A #1-grade pressure-treated post is plumbed perfectly vertical with a laser level before concrete is poured.

5

Fast-Set Concrete Pour

We use fast-setting concrete with a tapered collar that sheds water away from the wood base to prevent future rot.

6

Panel Re-Attachment

Rails and fence panels are re-attached with upgraded stainless steel fasteners, leaving the site clean.

FAQ

Post Replacement Questions, Answered

Signs include visible lean greater than 2 inches, soft/spongy wood at ground level, cracked or heaving concrete footings, and fence panels that move independently when pushed.
A single post typically takes 2–3 hours including extraction, footing, and re-attachment. We can replace 4–6 posts in a full day.
We set posts 18–24 inches deep in Sacramento's clay-heavy soil, roughly one-third of the above-ground height, with the base flared to resist heaving.
In most cases yes. We carefully detach panels, replace the post, and re-attach the panels to the new post with minimal disruption to your fence line.
We use #1-grade pressure-treated pine rated for ground contact (UC4B) or clear heart redwood. Both resist rot and insects for 25–30+ years in Sacramento's climate.
Yes. Every post replacement includes full footing removal and a new concrete pour. We never set a new post into an old, crumbling footing.
