Fences R Us has been repairing fences across Ocala since 2003. The crew handles wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental iron, and agricultural fencing. Manny looks at the fence, tells you what needs fixing, and gives you a written quote. No pressure to replace what does not need replacing.

When to Fix Your Fence and When to Start Over
This is the question Manny gets asked on almost every repair call. Here is a straightforward guide based on what the crew sees most often in Marion County.
| Condition | Recommendation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 posts leaning, rest of fence solid | Repair | Post reset costs a fraction of full replacement |
| More than half the posts leaning or rotted | Replace | Repair cost approaches replacement at that point |
| A few boards cracked or split | Repair | Individual boards swap out fast and cheap |
| Boards rotted at base across full fence | Replace | Base rot means posts are likely failing too |
| One or two sections storm damaged | Repair | Isolated damage repairs well without touching the rest |
| Fence over 20 years old, multiple issues | Replace | Repair costs add up fast on an aging fence |
| Gate sagging, posts solid | Repair | Gate rehang and hardware swap is a quick fix |
| Paint faded but structure sound | Paint | A fresh coat adds years without new material cost |
Fence Painting and Staining in Ocala, FL
A wood fence that looks worn is not always a fence that needs replacing. Florida sun fades paint and dries out wood fast. A fresh coat of paint or stain protects the boards from UV and seals out moisture. It adds years to the life of the fence.
Fences R Us paints and stains wood fences across Marion County. The crew handles prep work: cleaning, light sanding, and any minor board repairs needed before paint goes on. Paint over a dirty or damaged fence does not last. Prep is the job.
Color matching is available if you want to match an existing house color or HOA requirement. Bring a color chip or the paint name and Manny's crew will match it.
How Often Should You Paint a Wood Fence in Florida?
Every 3 to 5 years is standard for painted wood fence in Central Florida. Stained fences hold up slightly longer between applications. Direct sun exposure shortens the cycle. A fence on the south or west side of a property fades faster than one in shade.
Paint
- Sits on top of the wood surface
- Solid color coverage
- Hides imperfections in older boards
- Needs reapplication every 3 to 5 years
- Can peel if applied over wet wood
- Best for privacy fences and HOA color requirements
Stain
- Soaks into the wood grain
- Semi-transparent to solid coverage
- Shows wood texture and grain
- Lasts 4 to 6 years before reapplication
- Does not peel
- Best for new wood and natural wood looks
