Signs It's Time for a New Fence
- Posts leaning or rotted at the ground along much of the fence
- Wood that's gray, split, soft or termite-damaged
- Repeat repairs every storm season
- Vinyl that's brittle, cracked or discontinued
- A new pool, pet or HOA requirement your current fence doesn't meet
Many Port St. Lucie homes built in the 2000s are on their first or second wood fence. Replacement is the perfect time to switch to vinyl and end the stain-and-repair cycle.
Our Fence Replacement Process
Removal & haul-away
We pull the old panels, posts and concrete footings and haul it all away.
Fix the layout
We confirm your property lines and easements from your survey, and it's the right time to add or widen a gate.
New fence install
New posts, panels and gates go in — usually in one to three days for a typical backyard once the permit is approved.
How Much Does Fence Replacement Cost in Port St. Lucie?
Replacement costs the same per foot as a new fence, plus removal of the old one.

Upgrade Your Fence When You Replace It
Replacing a fence is the perfect time to fix everything you didn't love about the old one. Common upgrades we make for Port St. Lucie homeowners:
- Wood to vinyl. End the stain-and-repair cycle with a fence that won't rot. It's our most common replacement project.
- Add or widen gates. Make room for a riding mower, a boat trailer or easier trash-bin access.
- Bring the pool barrier up to code. An older fence around a pool may not meet today's height, gap or gate requirements.
- Open up a view. Swap a solid fence along a lake or canal for see-through aluminum.
- Go taller for privacy. Move from 4 ft to 6 ft privacy in the back yard, within the city's height limit.
- Match your HOA's current standards. Many communities have updated their approved styles and colors since your fence went in.

Removal and Haul-Away, Done Right
Tear-out is the messy part of a replacement, so we make it painless:
- Everything goes. Panels, boards, rails, posts and old concrete footings are pulled and hauled away. Nothing is left stacked by the curb.
- Sprinklers and landscaping protected. We take care around irrigation lines, sod and planting beds, and point out anything we find along the old fence line.
- Pets and pools covered. We plan the work so your yard isn't left open overnight when you have dogs, or a pool that needs a barrier.
- One crew, start to finish. Removal and the new install are usually done back to back.
Removal is itemized on your written quote, so you know exactly what it costs.
What to Expect: A Typical Replacement Timeline
- Day 1, estimate: we measure, check your survey and talk through upgrades. You get a written quote with removal itemized.
- Paperwork: we file the city permit and give you what your HOA needs. Approval time depends on the city and your association, and is usually the longest step.
- Utility locates: underground lines are marked through Sunshine 811 before any new holes are dug.
- Install day or days: the old fence comes out and the new one goes in, usually one to three days for a typical backyard.
- Final walk-through: we check every gate and latch with you and leave the yard clean.
If your old fence is also your pool barrier, we'll plan the work so the pool isn't left unprotected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a fence in Port St. Lucie?
In most cases, yes — a replacement generally needs a permit just like a new fence. We take care of it. See our permit guide.
Can the new fence go in the same post holes?
Sometimes, but old concrete footings usually have to come out or the new posts get offset. We decide based on the condition and the new fence's post spacing.
Should I repair or replace?
If the damage is limited to a few sections, repair is usually cheaper. If posts are failing along the whole line or the fence is near the end of its life, replacement is the better value. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
How long does a fence replacement take?
Most backyard replacements take one to three days for removal and installation combined, once the permit is approved.
Do I need to be home during the replacement?
Not necessarily. We'll confirm the layout with you before work starts. If you have pets or a pool, we'll coordinate so your yard is secure at the end of each day.
Will replacing my fence damage my sprinklers or lawn?
We work carefully around irrigation lines and planting beds. Some disturbance along the fence line is normal, and we leave the area clean and raked.
