When a storm took your fence down, take pictures of the fence and of what hit it before you move a thing, then phone your insurer and a fence company. Keep clear of any downed line near the fence and report it to your electric utility.
Half my fence blew down. Who can fix it fast and what will it cost?
We can help. Call or text (931) 293-9766 with photos and a rough length of what is down. A run lying flat with broken posts is a major repair, $900 to $2,500 in the national 2026 figures. After a big storm line or a tornado, such as the one that crossed north Clarksville in December 2023, every fence crew in the county is booked within days, so get on the list early.
My dogs are in the yard and the fence is open to the road. What can be done right away?
We can close the opening for the time being. That means propping the posts that survived and fixing a temporary panel across the gap, with the permanent repair to follow. Mention dogs or a pool when you call, and we put the visit ahead of routine work.
Is there an extra charge for emergency or weekend fence repair?
That differs from company to company, and some do not work after hours at all. Ask when you book. It usually costs less to have the gap closed temporarily now and the real repair done on a normal weekday.
Does homeowners insurance cover a fence knocked down by a storm or a tree?
Often it does, as an other structure on the property. The policy wording, the deductible and the cause all matter, and only your insurer or agent can give you the answer. On a small repair the deductible can be higher than the cost. We provide an itemized written estimate for the claim.
My neighbor's tree fell on my fence. Whose insurance pays?
As a rule your own policy covers your own fence, even though the tree stood next door. The picture can change if the tree was dead or the owner had been warned about it. Ask your insurer how they handle it. We can rebuild just the crushed sections if matching material can still be bought.
The insurer offered much less than the repair quote because the fence is old. Now what?
Ask for the calculation in writing. Many policies pay the depreciated value of an old fence, not the cost of a new one. Send the adjuster an itemized estimate in reply. If there is still a gap, fixing only the storm-damaged part is often the practical route.
The storm knocked the fence down and my neighbor says it is mine. Who pays?
Whoever owns the fence pays, so start with whose land it is on. Tennessee's partition fence law (T.C.A. 44-8-202) says partition fences may be put up and repaired at the joint expense of the owners, and that a person who joins to a fence or uses it as a partition fence owes a share. It does not settle where the line is. A licensed land surveyor does that. Our shared fence page explains more.
Call (931) 293-9766 or text us photos of the damage.
