When a Wood Fence Has Lived Its Life — What Comes Next

Every wood fence eventually reaches the point where repair stops making sense: posts rotting one after another, boards graying and cupping, gates that won’t stay square. That’s not failure — that’s a 15-20 year material reaching the end of a good life.

We tear out the old fence completely — posts, footings, and all — and either rebuild in fresh cedar or pressure-treated pine, or help you switch to vinyl or aluminum if you’re done with maintenance. Either way, the new fence goes in with posts set below the frost line.

How Replacement Works for Wood Fences

Three steps from first call to finished fence.

01

Free Replacement Estimate

We inspect your existing fence, confirm replacement is the right call, and give you a written estimate covering removal and the new fence.

02

Removal & Site Prep

We remove and properly dispose of all old fence material — no pile of old posts left behind — and fully prepare the site.

03

New Fence Installation

Your new fence goes in with fresh posts set in concrete, built to NJ climate standards and backed by our workmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

The rule of thumb: when a third or more of the posts are rotting, or damage spans multiple sections, repairs will keep coming. One-off damage is worth fixing; systemic rot means the fence has aged out.

Yes — full removal and haul-away is included, footings and all. Old treated lumber is disposed of properly; it should never be burned or left in ground contact.

If you love the look and don’t mind sealing every few years, new cedar is hard to beat. If you’re replacing because you’re tired of the upkeep, vinyl (privacy) or aluminum (ornamental) removes maintenance entirely. We quote both paths.

Generally no — old footings have to come out, and fresh concrete needs undisturbed soil to hold. We dig new holes on the same line, so the fence position doesn’t change.

Yes, primarily: linear footage, height, and style set the base, with gates, removal complexity, and terrain adjustments on top. Your written estimate breaks all of it out.
 

What Affects Wood Fence Replacement Cost in New Jersey

No two properties price the same. Every Imperial Fence quote is itemized in writing — these are the factors that move the number.

Old fence removal

Tear-out and disposal — including breaking out concrete footings — is part of every replacement quote.

Linear footage

Total length sets the baseline for posts, panels, and labor.
 
03

New material & style

Replacing like-for-like is the baseline; upgrading changes the per-foot price. We quote both so you can compare.

Site prep

Old footings, roots, and grade changes along the established line can add prep time.

05

Gates & upgrades

New gate locations, wider openings, or upgraded hardware are priced as clear line items.
