Fence and Gate Repair around Zephyrhills
Sandy Pasco soil and summer storms are hard on fence posts. A post that was solid ten years ago can rot at the ground line or work loose after a wet season, and the gate is usually the first thing to show it.
Wayne resets posts in concrete, replaces pickets and rails, rehangs gates so they latch, and tightens up deck and porch railings so they are safe to lean on.

What changes the price
Every job is priced before work starts. These make one fence and gate repair job bigger or smaller than another.
Posts
Resetting or replacing posts is the main work. Pickets and rails go faster once the posts are solid.
Material
Wood, vinyl and chain link each repair differently, and vinyl depends on finding matching parts.
Gates
Rehanging a gate so it swings and latches right takes careful adjustment.
Access
Tight side yards and thick plants along the fence line add time.
Materials, and why
Wood posts get replaced with pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact and set in concrete. In sandy Pasco soil, a post just tamped into dirt will lean again by the next rainy season.
Gates get heavy-duty hinges and, when they need it, an anti-sag kit or a diagonal brace. Latches get set so they catch every time, not just when you lift the gate a little.
Before you call
- Push on each post near the gate. Movement at the base means the post is the problem.
- Look at the bottom of wood posts for soft or dark wood.
- Check that the gate hinges are not pulling out of the post.
- Note any HOA rules about fence color or style.
What a visit includes
- Checking every post and the gate
- Resetting or replacing posts in concrete
