Fence installation and repair is one of the most popular home improvement needs. Not only will fencing keep children and pets safe, but it also marks property lines and adds to your home’s overall value. Fences also help dampen noise from nearby neighbors and heavy traffic, give your landscaping structure, and provide ideal mounting for birdhouses, planters, and string lights.


Whether you need to install a brand-new fence or help repair an existing one, our handyman services provide what you need.

Maintenance and Repairs

What type of maintenance or repair your fence needs depends on the fence type, the extent of the damage, and other factors. Regardless of the material or damage, the first step is to have a professional from Mr. Handyman® assess the problem. We can then tell you what type of service is needed, including the cost of the fence repair. 

The most common wood fence repairs are panel or slat replacement or moisture damage. Wood fences warp and bend as they age and may need to be realigned. However, depending on the damage, replacing a wood fence may be better than repairing it.

Chain link fences are susceptible to moisture damage as well. Typically, you’ll see sagging that is compounded by metal corrosion. If you do, that is your sign to replace or repair it.

Typical repairs include replacing fence posts, hinges, and other hardware. If you notice any of the above or similar issues with your fence, it's best to check its overall condition before things worsen.

The Importance of Fence Gates

Installing a fence gate with the proper locking mechanisms keeps your children and pets inside while keeping intruders out. The gate is also critical if you have valuables or something potentially dangerous, such as a pool behind the fence, and wish to restrict access. 

For help determining a fence gate type, contact our professionals, who will guide you through selecting the best one for your needs.

What are common signs that indicate my fence needs repairs?

The most common signs your wood fence is in need of repairs includes spotting broken panels that are cracked or split, missing or loose slats, and wood rot stemming from moisture or insect damage. If your fence is painted or stained, you may see discoloration and peeling. Your wood fence may also be warped and bowing. Wood fences bend as they age and may become misaligned with the fence posts and ground, especially when exposed to moisture.

Chain link fences are susceptible to moisture damage as well. Typically, you’ll see sagging chain link fences and gates that are compounded by metal corrosion. If you notice your chain fence is loose and rusty, professional fence services from Mr. Handyman can make it look and function like new. Typical small-job fence repairs include replacing fence posts, hinges, and other hardware.

How long does a typical fence installation take?

While professional fence-builders follow proven strategies for efficiency and quality, building a fence is always a customized project. On average, building a 150-foot wooden fence with typical ground conditions takes a couple of days. Every yard is unique, and many factors affect the time it takes to install a fence, including:

  • Yard size
  • Project complexity
  • Ground conditions
  • Material availability

Your trusted service professional should be sharing a timeline and outline all steps during your consultation.

How much does fence installation cost?

The cost of a fence installation depends on the project's scope, number of gates, types of materials, terrain, and other factors. A traditional wooden fence, for example, costs more than a chain-link fence. Costs also depend on the type of wood, as prices can vary greatly.

Site preparation for a fencing project also have costs. Because most yards and properties have imperfect elevation and obstructions, trees, bushes, and other obstacles must be removed before beginning, adding time and labor to the total figure.

For complete fence installation and any soffit, fascia, and siding work, consider bundling these additional exterior repairs for maximum value and convenience.
