Why Choose Our Fence Repair Experts
Skilled Craftsmen, Reliable Results
Handy Dandy Dons Handyman Construction specializes in precise, long-lasting fence repair that restores safety, privacy, and curb appeal. Our team services wood, vinyl, composite, chain-link, ornamental iron, livestock, and custom fences, focusing on structural integrity and a seamless look.
We diagnose root causes—rotted posts, failed footings, soil movement, corroded fasteners, wind or impact damage—then apply the right fix: post resets with concrete or steel sleeves, sistered rails and scarf joints, epoxy wood consolidation, rust remediation and coated replacements, precise gate realignment, and clean, consistent finishes backed by a workmanship guarantee.
From Minor Damage To Major Failures
Typical issues include leaning or loose posts, cracked or rotten pickets and rails, separated panels, sagging or dragging gates, misaligned latches, bent chain-link fabric, broken top rails, loose or missing tension wire, buckled vinyl panels, UV-chalked surfaces, cracked concrete footings, insect damage, and fastener corrosion.
Our solutions range from resetting or replacing posts with pressure-treated lumber and hot-dipped galvanized hardware to installing steel post-repair sleeves, re-tensioning chain-link, swapping damaged vinyl panels, reinforcing rails, and upgrading gate hardware. We also match profiles and finishes, custom-mill pickets when needed, and blend stains or paints for a uniform appearance.
Clear Steps From Inspection To Finish
Assessment and quote: we inspect alignment, plumb, anchorage, material condition, fastener corrosion, soil and drainage, and gate operation. You receive a clear, itemized estimate detailing labor, materials, disposal, and any optional upgrades, along with realistic timelines—often same day for minor fixes, half-day for a section, and 1–2 days for multi-post repairs.
Repair execution: we safely brace and disassemble as needed; excavate failed footings; install gravel bases and bell-shaped concrete footings; or use engineered post sleeves and brackets where appropriate. For chain-link we stretch fabric and replace rails; for vinyl we swap panels and add aluminum stiffeners; for wood we use proper scarf or sister joints, exterior-rated adhesives, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. Gates are squared, re-hung, and tuned with anti-sag kits.
Finish and handoff: we sand rough edges, prime and paint or stain/seal as specified, protect new fasteners from corrosion, and leave a clean site with hauled-away debris. You get maintenance guidance—clean annually, reseal wood every 2–3 years, lubricate hinges, and keep vegetation off rails—and a clear warranty on our workmanship.
