Fence Replacement in Norman, OK
Ironclad Fence Norman replaces worn-out fences across Norman, OK and Cleveland County, from tear-out to the last gate latch. We take down old wood, chain link, vinyl and wire fences, pull or break out the old concrete footings and haul everything away, then build a new wood, vinyl, chain link or ornamental fence on galvanized steel posts set in concrete, on the same line or a new one. As a Norman fence company, we’ll also tell you honestly if a repair would do the job instead. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate and a written, itemized quote.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Fence Replacement in Norman, OK
Replacing a fence is two jobs: getting the old one out cleanly and building the new one to last. We do both, in one schedule.

Tear-Out and Haul-Away Included
Removing the old fence, its footings and the debris is on your quote as its own line, so there are no surprises and nothing left behind.

Plan it
Same Line or a New One?
Most replacements follow the old fence line, but a replacement is also the easiest time to fix where the fence was.
Replace on the Same Line
Most common
The new fence follows the old one, so property lines, gates and neighbor agreements stay the same. We pull the old footings and set new posts in fresh concrete along the same string line.
Move or Change the Fence
Worth considering
Take back yard space, straighten a crooked line, add or move gates, or go taller. If the old fence’s position was a guess, check your plat or get a survey before we set the new posts.
What a Replacement Includes
- Tear-out
- Old boards, panels, wire, rails and posts taken down and stacked for haul-away.

Timeline
How Long Does Fence Replacement Take?
Tear-out adds surprisingly little time. On most backyards, the old fence comes down and the new posts go in within a day.
- From your call to the on-site estimate, typically
- 1–3 days
- For in-stock wood, chain link and steel posts
- 0–5 days
- Tear-out and new fence for a typical backyard
- 1–3 days
- From request to finished fence for most homes
- 1–3 weeks
Vinyl, aluminum and custom iron take 1–4 weeks to arrive, so we schedule the tear-out for when your new material is here, keeping the yard open as short a time as possible.

Questions
Fence Replacement FAQ — Norman, OK
Can the new fence go on the same line as the old one?
Usually, yes, and most replacements do. If the old fence was on or near the property line, we follow the same line unless you want to move it. If you're not sure the old fence was in the right place, now is the time to check your plat or get a survey, before the new posts go in.
What happens to the old concrete footings?
We pull them out or break them up and haul them away. If an old footing is very large or under a slab, we may set the new post just beside it instead. New posts never go into old, cracked concrete.
Do I need to talk to my neighbor before replacing a shared fence?
It's a good idea. Let them know when the old fence will come down, especially if they have dogs, and ask whether they'd like to share the cost. Many neighbors split a shared fence, and it's wise to put that agreement in writing. Decide together which side the finished face will be on.
Can I replace just one side of my fence?
Yes. Replacing the worst run first, like the back line or the side that faces the street, is common. We match the height and style as closely as we can so the old and new sections line up where they meet, and we can quote the rest for later.
How long will my yard be without a fence?
For a typical backyard, the old fence usually comes down and the new posts go in on the same day or the next, and the new fence is finished in 1 to 3 days. If you have a dog, plan to keep it inside or on a leash for those days. We'll tell you each day which parts of the yard are open.
Is replacement a good time to change materials?
It's the best time. Since the old fence is coming out anyway, switching from pine to cedar or vinyl, going taller, or moving to steel posts costs little extra in labor. Check your HOA's rules before you change material, height or color.
Do I need a permit to replace a fence?
A replacement fence follows the same City of Norman rules as a new one, including height limits and any permit the fence needs, and your HOA may need to approve it even if it matches the old one. We check both before we start.
