Fence replacement is two jobs done right: removing the old fence completely, and installing the new one on a properly prepared line. We handle both — posts, panels, gates, and concrete footings all come out and get hauled away. No buried footings for the next crew to hit, no pile of old fence left at the curb.
Replacement is also the moment to get the fence you actually want. Keep the material you know, or upgrade — old chain link to vinyl privacy, tired wood to maintenance-free aluminum. Because the line is already established, replacement often moves faster than a first-time installation once permits clear.
The new fence goes in to the same standard as every Imperial Fence installation: fresh post holes set in concrete below the frost line, galvanized hardware, reinforced gates, and a final walkthrough before we call it done.
AT A GLANCE
Replacing is the perfect time to rethink your material — pick one to see what replacement involves.
Three steps from first call to finished fence.
We inspect your existing fence, confirm replacement is the right call, and give you a written estimate covering removal and the new fence.
We remove and properly dispose of all old fence material — no pile of old posts left behind — and fully prepare the site.
Your new fence goes in with fresh posts set in concrete, built to NJ climate standards and backed by our workmanship.
No two properties price the same. Every Imperial Fence quote is itemized in writing — these are the factors that move the number.
Tear-out and disposal — including breaking out concrete footings — is part of every replacement quote.
As with installation, total length sets the baseline for posts, panels, and labor.
Replacing like-for-like is the baseline; upgrading materials changes the per-foot price. We quote both so you can compare.
Old footings, roots, and grade changes along the established line can add prep time.
New gate locations, wider openings, or upgraded hardware are priced as clear line items.
Widespread post rot or rust, repeated repairs, and leaning runs are the signals. When a third or more of the posts are failing, replacement stops the repair treadmill — we’ll confirm with a free assessment.
Yes — complete removal and disposal is included in every replacement, footings and all. Nothing gets buried and nothing is left at the curb.
Absolutely — replacement is the ideal time to upgrade. We’ll quote your line in more than one material so you can compare like-for-like against an upgrade.
Generally no. Old footings come out, and new concrete needs undisturbed soil to hold, so we dig fresh holes along the same line. Your fence position doesn’t change.
A typical residential replacement runs 2–4 days: removal and new posts first, then panels and gates after the concrete cures. Larger properties scale from there.
Privacy, pets, deer, curb appeal — our solutions pages cover fencing by what you need it to do.
