What do you need?

What kinds of fence repair do you handle in Anaheim?

Most fence trouble starts with the posts. Fence repair in Anaheim usually means one of the following: a leaning or rotted post, a broken rail, missing or split pickets, a section blown down in a Santa Ana wind, a gate that drags on the ground, or a latch that no longer closes.

We repair wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum and iron fences. Often the fix is small and does not need a full replacement. A new post and two rails can bring a whole section back, and a few new boards can finish the look. If the whole fence is failing, we will say so and show you what replacement would involve.

Is it worth repairing my fence or should I replace it?

A repair makes sense when the damage is limited and most of the fence is sound. A replacement makes more sense when many posts are soft, the rails are rotted throughout or the fence leans along its whole length.

A simple rule of thumb

  • One or two bad posts or a storm-damaged section: repair.
  • Scattered missing boards on a solid frame: repair.
  • Posts rotted at the base across most of the run: replace.
  • A fence that has been patched many times and still leans: replace.

We do not push for a bigger job than you need. If you are weighing it up, see our wood fence installation page for what replacement involves.

What goes into gate repair and gate automation?

A gate that drags or will not latch is usually a hinge, a post or a frame problem. We re-hang the gate, add bracing, reset the post and fit a better latch, so it opens freely and locks again.

Automatic openers are a separate job. They suit driveway swing gates and slide gates, and make daily life easier. A solid installation includes the right type of operator for the gate weight and width, remote and keypad controls, and safety sensors that stop the gate if something is in the way. Properly installed gate operators follow the UL 325 safety standard.

Battery backup and solar options are worth discussing if power is limited near the gate. A heavy or poorly hung gate will wear out an opener quickly, so we often repair the gate itself first.

Repair prices depend on how many posts, rails and boards need work, the fence material, how hard it is to reach and whether concrete has to be broken out. Gate automation depends on the gate size, weight, the type of opener, the controls and the power supply. We give a written quote after we see the job.

Many small repairs take a few hours, and larger ones a day or two. Posts that need new concrete need time to cure before heavy loads. Automatic gate installs can take a day, including wiring and testing.

On the day, expect some noise, and we may ask you to move cars away from the gate. When we finish we test everything with you and clean up the old wood or hardware.

When should I call about a fence or gate problem?

Call as soon as you notice a lean, a soft post or a gate that has started to drag. Small problems grow quickly once wind or rain gets hold of them. Call right away if a fence has come down and you have pets or a pool.

If a bigger change makes more sense, take a look at vinyl fencing for low upkeep or chain link fencing for a lower-cost replacement. You can also start from the home page and see everything we do in Anaheim.

Questions about fencing in Anaheim

Can you fix one section of my fence instead of all of it?

Usually yes. We can replace one bad post, a few rails or a damaged section and match the rest as closely as possible. Older wood may not match new boards at first, though stain and a few weeks of sun will blend them. We tell you what to expect before we start.

Why does my gate keep dragging on the ground?

Most often the post has leaned, the hinges have loosened or the gate frame has sagged. We check which one it is, then reset the post, add bracing or replace the hardware. Fixing the root cause is better than planing the bottom of the gate, which only hides the problem for a while.

Can you add an automatic opener to my existing gate?

Often yes, if the gate is straight, strong and swings or slides freely. We check the weight, the width and the posts first. If the gate is too light or worn, we may suggest a rebuild first, because a weak gate damages an opener quickly.

Are automatic gates safe for kids and pets?

They should be, when installed properly. Safety sensors and reverse functions stop and reopen the gate when something is in its path, and operators should meet the UL 325 standard. We test these features at the end of the job. Even so, children should be kept away from gates when they move.

What do I do if my fence blows down in a Santa Ana wind?

Make the area safe first, keep pets and children away from loose panels and take photos if you plan to make an insurance claim. Then call us. We can secure or remove the fallen section and quote the repair. Check the posts too, since a fallen panel often means a failing post.

Do you repair fences that I share with a neighbor?

Yes. We can quote the repair and walk the line with you. California neighbors generally share the cost of a reasonable boundary fence repair, and written notice is usually expected. Keeping the neighbor informed early prevents most disputes, and having the line checked first means everyone knows which fence is being repaired.
