Replace with wood fence.

Cedar. Metal posts. Oil stain. Metal gate frames. Gate big enough to fit your largest equipment.
Everything else is just extra but I like having toe boards and capping, board-on-board, molding, etc. toe boards especially helps keeping fence line clean.

What exactly are you asking for------a company or handyman to do the job?
If so, a location would be very helpful in getting a proper answer and possibly steering you in the right direction.

Start saving money. Prepare for about $30 or more per foot.

Cedar fence boards
Galvanized rink shank nails
2” from between the bottom of fence and the ground
3 horizontal runners - 6” to 8” from the top and bottom of the fence boards
4 x 6 cedar wood posts, set 24” deep
Form concrete around posts into symmetrical shape
Bayou Boys Fencing, LLC did a great job for me.

Rule of thumb for fence posts:
8’ wide spacing max for most fences. Less is better. Take the total length and space them evenly. I hate looking at fences with exposed posts that are spaced at 8’ and have a short section at the end.
25-50% of the fence height needs to be in the ground (e.g. 6ft tall fence needs posts buried 2’ to 3’)
So, don’t buy 10’ posts for an 8’ fence

Prepare for sticker shock!
Insist on three stringers instead of two (the horizontal boards you nail the picketts to). That will prevent twisting of the pickets.

How much privacy do you need? If you do not need any just get a chain link fence and never have to mess with it again
