What We Handle
Leaning & Broken Posts
The post is almost always the problem, not the panel. We dig out or cut off the failed post, set a new one plumb and solid, and tie the fence back into it.
Panel & Rail Replacement
Rotted bottom rails, snapped pickets, and cracked panels replaced to match the rest of the run, so the repair blends in instead of announcing itself.
Gate Repair & Rehanging
Sagging gates get squared, braced, and rehung on hardware that can carry the weight, with the latch lined up so it catches every time.
Post-Storm Fence Repair
Blown-down sections stood back up, salvageable panels reattached, and broken posts replaced, so the yard is secure again without buying a whole new fence.
Wood, Vinyl & Chain Link
We repair the fences Florida yards actually have: wood privacy, vinyl, and chain link, each with the right fasteners and fittings for the material.
Staining & Sealing
A coat of stain or sealer after the repair protects the wood from Florida sun and rain and buys the whole fence more years of service.
An Honest Answer at the Fence Line
Call a fence company about a leaning post or a gate that drags, and you will hear the same answer: they would rather quote you a whole new fence. Installation is their business, so repair calls go to the bottom of the pile or get talked up into replacement. Meanwhile your dog is testing the gap and the gate needs a hip check to close.
We take the repair calls. The Handyman Company resets and replaces leaning posts, swaps rotted rails and pickets, rebuilds broken panels, and rehangs gates so they latch with one hand. If a section is genuinely past saving, we will say so plainly and show you why, because an honest answer is worth more than a job. We are a state-licensed contractor (CRC1336072 and CBC1258366), the price is guaranteed in writing before work starts, and the repair carries our one year warranty.
One bad post or a whole run flattened by a storm, walk the fence line with us and we will give you a straight answer on what to fix and what to leave alone.

Repair or Replace? Read Your Fence Honestly
Fence companies answer this question with a sales pitch. Walk your fence line with this list instead.
- Push on the posts, not the panels. A panel that rattles on solid posts is a cheap fix. A post that moves at the ground is the real repair, and a few bad posts do not condemn the fence.
- Look where wood meets dirt. Rot starts at the soil line and inside the post hole, so a fence can look gray and tired up top and still be sound where it counts.
- Count the failed sections against the whole run. One or two bad sections is a repair. Rot in most of the posts means rebuilding the fence one expensive piece at a time, and we will tell you when you are there.
- Check the gate separately. Gates fail before fences do because they swing and slam all day, and a dragging gate on its own is a service call, not a project.
- After a storm, do not let a leaning section sit. Half-attached panels can usually be stood back up and re-posted, but a fence that lies flat in the wet grass for a month warps past saving.
Walk it once, then call 800-931-1106 and tell us what you found. You will get a straight answer about which side of the line your fence is on.
Built for Florida
Florida is hard on fences
Hurricane season runs June through November, and every summer the afternoon storms take a toll on fence lines. Wind rocks the panels, the soaked sandy soil gives up its grip, and posts that were tight in May are wobbling by September. Once a post starts moving, every gust works it looser, and one strong squall lays the whole section down.
Wood fences also just rot faster here. Near-daily summer rain keeps the bottom rails and post bases wet, the humidity never gives them a chance to fully dry, and the sun bakes the top edges gray and brittle. That is why so many Florida fence repairs start at the ground: the post rotted at the soil line while the rest of the fence still had plenty of life left. Replacing the post saves the fence.
What Moves a Fence Repair Estimate
Posts versus panels
Rail and panel swaps are quick carpentry. Posts mean digging, breaking out old concrete footings, and setting new ones plumb, so a repair with posts in it carries most of the labor.
The material
Wood repairs flexibly and matches easily. Vinyl goes fast but the replacement parts have to match the profile of what is there. Chain link is mostly about stretching and tensioning it correctly.
Access to the fence line
A run you can park a truck beside prices better than one behind dense planting, a pool cage, or a neighbor's locked yard, because every post and panel gets carried in by hand.
Matching what is standing
Standard pickets and panels blend in easily. Discontinued vinyl profiles or custom lattice tops can mean reworking a wider section so the repair does not announce itself.

Fence & Gate Repair: Common Questions
Can you fix one section, or do I have to replace the whole fence?
If the rest of the fence is sound, one section is exactly the kind of job we take. We repair what is broken and leave the rest alone. If we think the fence is too far gone to be worth repairing, we will tell you that plainly instead of patching something that will not hold.
My fence blew over in a storm. Can it be stood back up?
Often, yes. If the posts snapped or heaved out of the ground, those get replaced, and the panels that survived get reattached to the new posts. We sort the salvageable sections from the ruined ones on site and price the repair in writing before we touch anything.
Can you replace a post that is set in concrete?
Yes. We break out or work around the old footing, set the new post plumb, and secure it properly. It is the least fun part of fence work, which is exactly why the post is the part homeowners call us for.
My gate drags and will not latch. Is that fixable without a new gate?
Usually. Gates sag because the frame racks out of square or the hinge post leans, and both are repairable. We square and brace the gate, fix or replace the post if it is moving, and rehang everything so the latch lines up again.
What does fence repair cost?
Posts drive the number more than panels do, and the material matters too, so we walk the line before we quote anything. The price you approve is the price you pay, and if replacement is the smarter spend we will say so instead of selling you a repair.
When is replacement the better call?
When rot or damage runs through most of the posts, repair turns into rebuilding the fence one expensive piece at a time. If we see that, we will say so and help you compare the two honestly. Over half our work is repeat customers and referrals, and that only happens by giving straight answers.
