Tear out the old fence, haul it away, and put a new one on the line, whether that is the same style or an upgrade.
If it's just a few bad posts, repair is the better call. We'll tell you which one your fence needs.
Tear-out and new build usually happen back to back, so your yard is open for as short a time as possible. If you have dogs, tell us and we will plan the order of work around them.
Replacement is the cheapest moment to change things. You can move to a lower-maintenance material like vinyl or aluminum, add height where the rules allow it, add a second gate or widen one for a mower, or correct a fence that was built off the property line years ago.
If the fence sits on the line between you and a neighbor, talk with them before work starts. Georgia does not have a general law that forces neighbors to split the cost, so it comes down to agreement. Whatever you decide, put it in writing.
It can be, and your quote will show it as its own line so you know what it costs. Removing and disposing of an old fence is real work, especially when posts are set in concrete.
Usually. If old concrete footings will not come out, we set new posts just beside them. If you are not sure the old fence was on the property line, check your survey first.
For a typical backyard, tear-out and rebuild take a few days total. We keep the gap as short as we can.
If the gate is in good shape and fits the new style, sometimes. Most old gates are as worn as the fence, so replacing it along with the fence usually makes sense.
