Services / Fence and gate repair

Fence and gate repair

A gate that has dropped an inch will not latch, and a gate that will not latch is how a dog gets out. Plenty of fence trouble comes down to a few pickets, a loose rail and a gate that needs squaring up rather than a whole new fence.

What the job involves

  • Cracked, split and missing pickets replaced and matched as closely as the wood allows
  • Sagging gates squared, rehung and fitted with an anti sag brace
  • Latches and hinges replaced with hardware that will survive a summer here
  • Rails re-secured where the nails have worked loose
  • Posts reset in concrete where the post itself is still sound

What is not included

  • Whole fence replacement. That is a fencing contractor and a bigger crew.
  • Fences on a property line you are in disagreement about
  • Rotten posts where the concrete has to come out of the ground

What it costs

$140 for the first hour, then $100 an hour. A gate is usually one hour. A run of pickets depends on how many, and I will tell you the number before I start.

Examples of this work

  • A gate that has stopped latching
  • Six pickets after a storm
  • A leaning post reset in concrete

Yours not on the list? Text a photograph and I will tell you either way.
