Finished black corrugated metal fence with cedar posts and a new cedar gate, built by Cumberland Fence Co

A leaning fence doesn’t need replacing. It needs new posts.

Cumberland Fence Co leads with the cheapest fix that actually works: post replacement. We save your good panels, fix the structure, and straighten the fence for a fraction of a full rebuild — and we’re glad to take the small jobs other companies turn down. New installs, gates, and repairs too.

< ½ Post replacement often costs less than half the price of a brand-new fence.

Fences, gates, and the rest of the yard list

Based in Cumberland, working across the Comox Valley and surrounding areas. Most fence companies chase big tear-outs and treat small repairs as a nuisance — we built this business the other way around. The small fix, done right, is our specialty; full installs get exactly the same care when you actually need one.

New fence installs

All types of fencing, built straight and built to last — cedar and pressure-treated wood, standard panels, chain link, corrugated metal, and custom runs. Full design-to-cleanup service, with creative and funky designs available if you want something with character.

Gates that don’t sag

Gates are a specialty. Sagging gates and broken hardware are the usual story — our own gate design is as simple as it gets: lightweight, sag-free, and made to keep swinging true for years.

Corrugated metal & modern fences

Black corrugated panels framed in cedar: full privacy, a sharp modern look, and almost no upkeep. A favourite for anyone who wants the fence to be a feature, not just a boundary.

Pergolas, sheds & shed roofs

Outdoor structures built with the same care as our fences: pergolas that turn a patio into a room, solid sheds, and shed roof builds that keep your gear dry through a West Coast winter.

Property maintenance & jack-of-all-trades

Beyond the fence line, we take on the whole property maintenance list — the jobs that pile up around a house, rental, or strata.

Our specialty: post replacement

Most fences don’t fail all at once. The posts rot at ground level, the fence starts to lean — and the panels are usually still perfectly good.

  • We replace only what’s failedOld posts and their concrete come out, new posts go in, and your existing panels go right back up.
  • Panels get beefed up, not thrown outSometimes a fence just needs a piece of wood here and there to shore up the structure — we do that instead of selling you a whole new fence.
  • Years more life from the fence you haveStandard panels can be replaced one at a time as they eventually fail, so a full replacement can wait years down the road.
< ½ the cost

More often than not, post replacement is the cheapest option by far — often less than half the price of a full new fence.

That’s how most of our client relationships start: a leaning fence, an honest fix at the lowest sensible price, and no pressure to buy a whole new fence you don’t need yet. When the big install’s day eventually comes, you’ll already know who to call.

Not sure how bad it is? Get a fence survey.

We walk your entire fence line and map every post and panel, grading the condition of each one — so you can see exactly what’s failed, what’s tired, and what’s still solid.

  • A detailed map of your fenceEvery post and panel, marked with its condition — no guessing, no surprises halfway through a job.
  • You decide, with the full pictureFix only the failures now, or plan a staged repair over a few seasons. Especially useful for stratas and landlords managing long fence runs.

Every estimate comes with three honest options

No single take-it-or-leave-it number. You see what each level of work costs and what it buys you, then you pick.

Option 1

What needs doing

The essentials: failed posts replaced, structure made sound, fence standing straight again. The lowest-cost way to get the most value out of the fence you already have.

Option 2

Built for longevity

Everything in Option 1, plus the worn posts and tired panels that would be next to go — so you’re not calling anyone back in a year or two.

Option 3

Full replacement

The complete new-fence price, so you can compare it fairly against repairing. Sometimes it’s the right call — and you’ll know exactly why.

Who this suits: Homeowners who’d rather save than replace · Landlords keeping rentals in good shape · Stratas stretching a fence budget further

Good to know before we show up

Shared fence? We mediate.

Fences sit between neighbours, and sorting out who pays for what can be the hardest part. Mediating between neighbours is a specialty — we’ll help both sides land on a fair plan.

Dogs are no problem

Genuinely good with dogs — even the big, scary ones. Yours can supervise from the yard; we’re not put off, and we keep gates latched while we work.

On schedule, start to finish

We don’t run behind schedule. When we say we’ll be there, we’re there — and the job finishes when we said it would.

Clean yard, every day

Old concrete, offcuts, and debris leave with us. Your yard is left clean and organized — the only thing we leave behind is a straighter fence.

Common questions

Usually not. Fences lean because the posts rot at ground level — the panels are often still in good shape. Replacing the failed posts and re-securing your existing panels straightens the fence for often less than half the cost of a full replacement.

We walk the whole fence line and produce a detailed map showing every post and panel with its condition graded. You get the full picture first, then decide what to fix now, what to watch, and what can wait — no pressure either way.

Three options: what needs to be done, what could be done for more longevity, and the full replacement cost for comparison. You choose the level that fits your budget and how long you want the fence to last.

Yes — gates are a specialty. Where hardware is the only problem we repair it; where the gate itself is done, we build a new one in our own design: as simple as possible, lightweight, sag-free, and long-lasting.

That’s between you and your neighbour — but we’re happy to help the conversation along. Mediating between neighbours is one of our specialties, and a survey map with graded options makes it much easier for both sides to agree on a fair split.
