Post replacement

Fence post replacement cost

Replacing a wood post set in concrete runs about $250 to $500 per post, installed, before HST. Where the boards and rails are still good, new posts are often all a fence needs.

  • Locates booked through Ontario Dig Authority (formerly Ontario One Call) before we dig
  • Old post and its concrete broken out and hauled away
  • New post set in fresh concrete, plumb and in line
  • Rails and boards fastened back to the new post
  • Where concrete runs right up to the fence line, the post can sit on a steel base bolted to the slab

Price range checked October 2026. It moves with how much old concrete has to come out and how tight the access is. Your quote is based on photos or a site visit.

Repair or replace

How we decide

  • Most posts solid and a few failing: repair
  • Boards in good shape but posts rotting: repair if it's a few, replace if it's most
  • Fence well past its life and leaning in many places: replace
  • Posts that look sound above ground can be gone at the base, so we dig and check before we quote
  • Shared fence: we can quote both sides so neighbours see the same numbers

Our leaning fence guide shows how to check your own posts first.

Rotten fence posts replaced with the panels kept and re-hung, Markham

A post replacement along the side and rear of a Markham property. The panels were sound and the posts were not, so we were brought in for the posts alone and the owner re-hung the panels afterwards.

Fence repair questions

Can you fix a leaning fence?
Usually. A leaning fence often means one or more posts have rotted or heaved. We replace or reset those posts and straighten the sections if the boards and rails are still sound.
Is it worth repairing an old wood fence?
If the posts are the problem and the boards are in good shape, repairs make sense. If most posts are rotting at the base, replacing the fence usually costs less over time.
Can you match my existing fence?
We match style, height and board size as closely as we can. New wood will look different from weathered wood until it ages or both are stained.
How much does it cost to replace a fence post?
About $250 to $500 per post for a wood post set in concrete, installed, before HST. The price moves with how much old concrete has to come out and how easy the post is to reach. We confirm it from photos or a site visit.
Who pays to repair a shared fence?
Neighbours often split the cost. Our fence line guide covers how shared fences work in Ontario.
