Fence Repair in Taylors, SC
The post at the bottom of the lot goes first here, and it is the one nobody can see from the house. We walk the whole line and test every post before we quote.
Fence repair in Taylors happens on two very different kinds of ground three miles apart. Southern Bleachery mill village lots are small and level with short runs and a fence usually older than the current owner, while Pebble Creek spreads more than 430 homes across roughly 500 acres of woodland, ponds and creeks with the ground climbing toward Paris Mountain.
Taylors has 23,222 people and no city government, so there is no local ordinance to satisfy and unincorporated Greenville County rules apply. We work on wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link alike, whoever put it there. Someone answers from 7am to 7pm seven days a week, and the assessment is free on site with no deposit and nothing owed if you decide against the work.
On a Pebble Creek lot the fence dies at the bottom
Water runs downhill and so does the damage. On sloping ground everything coming off the yard above arrives at the lowest run of the fence, and if that section sits tight to the ground it holds the water there. The posts at the low end spend far more of the year wet than the posts at the top of the same fence.
With ponds and creeks through the community there is more than rainfall moving around. Soil washes out from around a footing until the post has less holding it than it started with, and a post that has lost its grip works itself further loose with every storm. Cecil clay drains slowly and the Upstate takes about 48 inches of rain a year, so the low corner never really gets a chance to dry out.
Resetting that post the way it was set gets you a few seasons. We pull the old footing, widen the hole, crown the concrete so water sheds off it and open a deliberate gap under the fence where it crosses the drainage path, which is what stops the repair coming back.
Mill village repairs happen against somebody else's fence
Around the old Southern Bleachery, which ran from 1924 to 1965 and is on the National Register, the lots are small and there is usually a fence already standing on at least one boundary. That means a repair is rarely a standalone job. The rebuilt section has to meet what is already there at the right height and on the right line.
Short runs work in your favor on cost, because a whole side might be fifty or eighty feet and rebuilding it outright reads as intentional rather than patched. New wood looks bright against weathered boards for a season or two and then settles, so concentrating the new material in one run instead of scattering it down the line is usually the better looking answer.
No council and no zoning officeExists in Taylors, so a repair here answers to unincorporated Greenville County and to nobody else.
Gates on a slope have one extra problem
A gate that drags is nearly always the hinge post tilting under the weight of the leaf rather than the gate itself sagging, so the fix starts at the post. Bracing the gate treats the symptom while the post keeps moving.
On a sloping Taylors lot there is a second issue. A gate has to swing over ground that falls away, so the clearance underneath was set for a specific grade, and if soil has washed out or built up the leaf now catches or hangs high. We check the ground under the swing as well as the post, then rehang and set the hardware to the actual weight.
What a fence repair job in Taylors includes
A Taylors assessment walks the whole fence, including the part of the lot you never go to.
- The full run walked with a hand on every post, top of the lot to bottom
- The failure mechanism identified before any number is discussed
- Old footings pulled and posts reset in wide holes with crowned concrete
- Drainage crossings reopened so water passes under the fence instead of damming
- Sections rebuilt to meet an existing neighbor fence at the right height and line
- Chain link re-tensioned and re-tied, or fabric replaced where it has rusted out
- Gates rehung after the hinge post is corrected, with the ground under the swing checked
- Broken material loaded and hauled off before we leave

Why choose us
Why Taylors calls us for fence repair
We start at the bottom of the lot
On sloping ground the fence fails where the water ends up, which is usually the corner furthest from the house and the last place anyone looks. We walk the whole line rather than the section you called about, and we check the ground around the low posts for washout before pricing anything. Fixing the top of a fence while the bottom keeps sliding is the most common wasted repair we see.
No city hall, so we check the county
Taylors is a census designated place with no council, no zoning office and no fence ordinance of its own, which surprises people who go looking for a Taylors permit. Unincorporated Greenville County rules govern your fence, and in Pebble Creek the neighborhood association may have more to say than the county does. For a like for like repair neither is usually an obstacle, and we confirm it at the assessment.
Saturday morning is when the phone rings
A limb across the fence on a Saturday morning does not wait for Monday, especially with a dog in the yard. We take calls every day of the week from 7am to 7pm, weekends included, and an open yard goes to the front of the list. The assessment costs nothing and carries no obligation. Eight years in business, 55 plus fences built and repaired, 4.7 stars from 24 Google reviews.

Questions we get asked
Fence Repair questions from Taylors homeowners
Why do the posts at the bottom of my yard keep failing?
Because everything that lands on the yard above them ends up there. On a sloping Taylors lot the low run collects the runoff, and if the fence sits tight to the ground it holds that water against the boards and around the footings instead of letting it through.
Two things fix it. The post gets pulled with its old footing and reset in a wider hole with concrete crowned to shed water, and the fence gets a deliberate gap where it crosses the drainage path so water keeps moving. Without the second part you are buying the first part again in a few years.
Do I need a permit to repair a fence in Taylors?
There is no Taylors permit because Taylors has no government to issue one. It is a census designated place, so unincorporated Greenville County rules are what apply, and South Carolina has no statewide fence permit either.
For a like for like repair that puts back the same height, material and line, this is rarely an issue anywhere. It matters more if a rebuilt section would be taller or sit somewhere different. In Pebble Creek the neighborhood association is the more likely authority to check, and we raise it at the assessment if the repair changes anything visible.
Can you rebuild one side without it looking like a patch?
Yes, and on the small mill village lots it is usually the better looking answer. Rebuilding a complete run of fifty or eighty feet reads as intentional, while three new boards dropped into a weathered fence reads as a repair for years.
New wood is bright against old wood for a season or two before it weathers in, so where we cannot rebuild a full run we concentrate the new material in one place rather than spreading it along the line. Where your fence meets a neighbor's existing run we match the height and the top line so there is no awkward step where the two join.
