“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!”
Deck & Fence Repair
Rotted boards, loose railings, storm damage — deck and fence repair across Wilmington, Fayetteville, and the Cape Fear coast.
- Rot replacement
- Railing and post stabilization
- Gate realignment
- Full deck inspection
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.

What our customers say.
“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.”
“The owner of this company is very friendly and easy to speak with. The handyman showed up right on time and got right to work. Very professional and pleasant. He worked every minute he was at my apartment. I already hired them for another job. I will definitely spread the word on how amazing this company is.”
“So kind and accommodating! Prices are SO reasonable compared to other companies in the area. Great communication and customer service!”
“Was looking for a Handyman to install a toilet and ceiling fans. Called Hire a Handyman and received a quick callback. Set up an appointment for the next week. They were very polite and did a great job. Left everything cleaned up. Would definitely recommend.”
“Wow! Great company to work with. Truly experienced employee Allen is totally amazing. He comes up with a solution for everything! Wonderful, kind, caring, patient and a pro at his job!”
