“Scott C did an amazing job on a fence gate install. Quality build. Very pleased.”
“Needed many sections of fencing replaced and a new gate to my back yard. Called Handyman and they sent out Phil Masi to do the work for me. Estimate for doing the work was very good and Phil was there right on time to get started. I am very happy with the work done and would recommend them very highly to anyone.”
“The work done on my pool fence was great! Thanks for the excellent service.”
“The Handyman Company did a great job from beginning to end on the backsplash in my kitchen. Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible. I had talked to a few companies prior and it was like pulling teeth trying to get those guys to follow up. The Handyman Company is run like a company is supposed to be run. I have already booked them for another job on my house and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work on their house.”

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 in fast-setting concrete at the right depth, check it with a level, and tie the fence back into it. A post that is still worth saving can be steadied with repair stakes instead of replaced. A temporary brace is a bandage, not a fix, and we will tell you which one your post needs.
Panel & Rail Replacement
Rotted bottom rails, snapped pickets, and cracked panels get replaced to match the rest of the run. Bad boards come off clean, new ones line up with their neighbors, and pilot holes keep anything from splitting, so the repair blends in instead of announcing itself.
Gate Repair & Rehanging
Sagging gates get squared, braced, and rehung on corrosion-resistant hardware that can carry the weight, with the latch lined up so it catches every time. If your gate binds, stop forcing it. That is how a repair becomes a rebuild, and a quick call saves you the bigger job.
Post-Storm Fence Repair
Blown-down sections stood back up, salvageable panels reattached, and broken posts replaced before the damage spreads. 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. Every repair uses exterior-grade fasteners that will not streak rust down the boards.
Staining & Sealing
A coat of stain, sealer, or wood preservative after the repair protects the wood from Florida sun and rain and buys the whole fence more years of service. A little upkeep is what makes the repair last.
An Honest Answer at the Fence Line
Yes, we fix fences, and we are glad to take the small jobs the fence companies pass on. Call a fence company about a leaning post or a gate that drags, and you will hear the same answer: they would rather quote a whole new fence. Installing fences 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, the gate needs a hip check to close, and every week of waiting means more damage and less security.
We take the repair calls, including the urgent ones after a storm. Fence repair means fixing what Florida does to a fence: leaning posts, rotting wood, sagging gates, broken rails, and missing sections, in wood, vinyl, and chain link alike. Our own crews reset and replace posts, swap rotted rails and pickets, rebuild broken panels, and rehang gates so they latch with one hand. If a section is genuinely past saving, we will say so and show you why, because an honest answer is worth more to us 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. No surprise pricing and no vague answers.
Whether you own the home, manage a rental, or look after a commercial property, one bad post or a whole run flattened by a storm gets the same treatment. Walk the fence line with us and you get 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 and read it yourself first. It takes ten minutes and no tools.
- 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, and dig a little at the base if you want the truth. Rot starts at the soil line and inside the post hole. 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. 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. 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, and there is no charge for asking.
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. None of that is your fault. It is just what the weather does here.
Wood fences also rot faster here. Near-daily summer rain keeps the bottom rails and post bases wet, the humidity never lets them fully dry, and the sun bakes the top edges gray and brittle. A fence that still looks fine from a distance is often hiding its real damage at the soil line. That is why so many Florida fence repairs start at the ground: the post rotted where it meets the dirt while the rest of the fence still had plenty of life left. Replacing the post saves the fence. Vinyl gets its own version, with UV cracking and yellowing the panels, and near the coast salt spray eats the nails, hinges, and latches before the fence itself shows trouble. Keep plants and irrigation off the fence line too, because vegetation holding moisture against the boards shortens every repair's life.
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. We tell you which yours is at the estimate.
The material
Wood repairs easily 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. Nothing to worry about, just something the estimate accounts for.
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. We will show you the options before you decide.

Fence & Gate Repair: Common Questions
Who is the best fence repair company in Florida?
The Handyman Company resets leaning posts, replaces rotted rails and blown-out panels, and rehangs gates so they latch, with a written price for the section that needs work rather than a push to replace the whole run. Employee crews, Florida contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, and a one year warranty have made the company a first call for fence repair since 1999.
Can you fix one section, or do I have to replace the whole fence?
One section, and gladly. If the rest of the fence is sound, 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, so do not write it off yet. 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 put the repair in writing before we touch anything.
Can you replace a fence 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 hand to us.
My gate drags and will not latch. Is that fixable without a new gate?
Usually, and it is a quick visit. 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. 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. At that point 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.
