What's Included

What a deck or fence repair includes.

Coastal weather is hard on outdoor wood. Salt air, heavy rain, hurricane gusts. We replace rotted boards, reset loose posts, rehang sagging gates, and restore railings back to safe, solid condition using treated materials that hold up through another summer.

  • Rot replacement

    Individual boards, stair treads, and joists replaced with treated lumber that matches the rest of the structure.

  • Railing and post stabilization

    Loose railings reset, wobbly posts re-anchored, and safety brought back up to code before anyone else uses the deck.

  • Gate realignment

    Sagging gates re-squared, hinges replaced, latches realigned — your fence closes properly again.

  • Full deck inspection

    Before we quote, we walk the deck or fence to spot the issues you can't see. One fix, not three return trips.

“From the appointment setting to follow-through communication to good quality of work, it has been a pleasure to work with Alan. He is efficient and courteous. Alan also was most accommodating to my elderly mother for her home repair needs and additional support. I highly recommend Hire A Handyman!”

“Cru arrived on time, worked diligently and did a perfect job. I will recommend Hire a Handyman to everyone I know. I couldn't be more pleased. And it came in under the estimate!!”

“The handyman that helped me today was awesome. I believe his name is Allen. I had a rough job of helping me fix an improperly installed window. He was very knowledgeable and identified the best way to fix the problem. He was mindful of the short time we had and didn't try to stretch it out for more money. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for help on small, medium, or large projects.”

“Professional, timely and affordable. I was very pleased and much better than those services that charge 3x as much. I'll use them again and again as needed! They worked on a closet and a loose door knob. Perfect work! The flat rate was great and no unnecessary add-ons. Good honest work.”

“I had a drawer fall apart and in my guest room the head board had separated from the support. I called and in less than 48 hours they came through and fixed everything at a very reasonable price. They were the most professional service I have experienced. They communicated effectively and I am very pleased.”
