Fence & Gate Repair

Valley wind finds every weak post and loose hinge.

When the wind comes through the pass it load tests every fence in the valley, and the gate is usually the first thing to fail. A dragging gate gets worse every week, and a leaning fence section is a neighbor problem waiting to happen. I fix them before they become either.

What I repair

• Sagging gates squared up with tension braces and fresh hinges
• Latches aligned so the gate actually closes, pool gates especially
• Broken pickets, boards, and rails matched and replaced
• Wobbly posts reinforced or reset
• Gate wheels, springs, and self closers installed
• Sun beaten wood sealed so it lasts a few more summers

What it costs

Repairs are quoted flat from your photos and stay under the $1,000 line, which covers a lot of fence fixing. Walk the fence line, photograph the ugly spots, and send the batch. One visit handles all of it.

I am not a licensed contractor. California law limits my jobs to under $1,000 total for labor and materials, on work that needs no building permit. A full new fence run is licensed contractor work, and if your fence is past saving I will say that instead of billing you to patch a goner.

Other jobs I take all the time: TV Mounting, Ceiling Fans, Faucets, Toilet Repair. One visit can cover several, and I work across the whole valley, see where I work.
