Fence Installation & Repair
Privacy, picket, and split-rail fencing built post by post, plus repairs for the fence you've already got. One person, start to finish.
A Fence Set in Concrete, Not Guesswork
A fence is only as good as its posts. Roy sets every post plumb, in a concrete footing, spaced to hold the panel or rail style you chose — the same approach whether it's a full privacy fence around a new pool or a short picket fence along the front walk. If you already have a fence that's leaning or rotting at the base, that's almost always a post problem, and it's often fixable without tearing out the whole thing.
Rittenworx handles both new installation and repair across Madison, Huntsville, Decatur, and Athens. Roy does the layout, the digging, and the build himself — no subcontracted crew, no surprises on the invoice.
Signs Your Fence Needs Attention
- Posts leaning or wobbling at the base
- Visible rot at the bottom of posts or pickets
- Gate won't latch or is dragging on the ground
- Sections down after a storm
- Fence doesn't match a new addition or landscaping
- You're selling and need the fence line cleaned up

Fence Repair
Post replacement, panel repair, and gate fixes for an existing fence that's leaning, rotting, or won't latch anymore.

From Walk-Through to Finished Gate
Walk the Line
Roy walks the fence line with you, talks through height, material, and gate placement.
Check the Property Line
Before anything gets dug, we confirm your property line and any HOA rules so there are no surprises later.
Written Quote
You get a real number based on linear footage and material — not a verbal guess.
Post Layout & Digging
Posts are spaced and set to plan, typically 6 to 8 feet apart depending on the fence style.
Setting Posts in Concrete
Each post is set plumb in concrete footings for a fence that stays straight for years, not months.
Panels, Pickets & Gates
Rails, panels, and gates go up level and square, with hardware that actually holds up.
Final Walkthrough
We check every gate swings and latches right before we call the job done.
