Ames Fence Repair
JM Painting & Remodeling handles fence repair throughout Ames. Board by board or a full run. Every Ames job runs the same way regardless of how large it is: the surface gets prepared before anything is applied, and no step gets skipped at your house because it is hidden once the work is finished.
Our Fence Repair scope in Ames
- Leaning posts reset or sistered
- Gates re-squared so they latch again
- Posts checked at grade, where they fail first
- Broken pickets and sagging rails replaced
Homes in Ames share conditions with the surrounding Liberty County communities, Liberty (3.1 mi), Hardin (7.2 mi), Kenefick (7.4 mi) among them: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. A rotted post will pull a new panel down with it, so posts get sorted first.
The numbers on Ames: 1,137 residents (2023 est.) across roughly 3.3 square miles of Liberty County, about 344 people per square mile. Closest communities we also serve: Liberty 3.1 miles out, Hardin 7.2 miles out, Kenefick 7.4 miles out.
A fence repair job in Ames starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.

Why Ames homeowners call JM Painting

Because we run regular routes through Liberty County, a Ames job is local work for us: Liberty is 3.1 miles away and on the same circuit. That means realistic scheduling, and a crew that comes back quickly if anything needs a touch-up.
