Gate Rebuild & Hardware Replacement

Sagging gates that drag, gates that won't latch, broken hinges, busted handles, and rotted gate frames. We rebuild the frame, re-hang on stainless or galvanized hardware, install self-closing hinges where the HOA requires them, and re-square the opening so the gate swings true.

  • Frame rebuild — square, plumb, and braced
  • Stainless and galvanized hardware (salt-rated)
  • Self-closing hinges and pool-code latches
  • Gate widening and second-gate additions

Why Sarasota fences need more repair

Sarasota's combination of hurricane wind, sandy soil, and salt air is rough on every type of fence. Posts that were set in 12 inches of concrete in the 1990s now lean after every major storm. We re-set posts at 36 inches deep in 80-lb bags of concrete — that's what keeps them standing through the next Ian.

Salt air on Siesta, Lido, and Bird Key destroys cheap gate hardware in 2–3 years. Standard zinc-plated hinges and latches turn to powder. We use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware on every coastal Sarasota install — the kind that lasts 15+ years even at the beach.

Most Sarasota HOAs (Palmer Ranch, Lakewood Ranch, Stoneybrook, Prestancia) have strict fence-style and color requirements. We work with HOA-approved materials, provide install photos for approval, and match existing runs exactly. No surprise re-do notices.

Frequently asked

Questions Venice homeowners ask us

Straight answers — the same ones we give over the phone before a job goes on the calendar.

How much does fence repair cost in Sarasota?
Most fence repairs in Sarasota run $200–$600 depending on the work. A leaning post reset is typically $150–$250 per post. A storm-loosened picket section runs $200–$400. Full gate rebuilds $250–$500. Fix it Once Handyman Services gives a flat price over the phone after a quick photo.
Can you fix a leaning fence post without replacing the whole fence?
Almost always, yes. We dig out the failed post, set a new one in deeper concrete, and re-attach the existing panels. Saves you 70%+ versus a full fence replacement and looks identical when finished.
Do you do wood, vinyl, and chain-link fence repair?
All three. Wood is the most common in older Sarasota neighborhoods (Gulf Gate, Arlington Park). Vinyl dominates Palmer Ranch and Lakewood Ranch. Chain-link is mostly side and back yards across the county. We stock parts and hardware for all three.
Can you repair fence damage after a hurricane?
Yes — storm-damaged fences are most of our June–November work. We re-set leaning posts, replace blown-out panels, rebuild damaged gates, and bring runs back square. We do not handle insurance claims directly, but we provide itemized invoices that work for claim documentation.
Do you install short new fence runs?
Yes — short new runs (typically under 60 linear feet) and gate-only installs are something we do every week. Full new-yard fences over 100 linear feet we'll refer to a fence-specialty contractor.
How fast can you get to my Sarasota fence?
Most Sarasota fence repairs schedule within 5–7 days. Storm season pushes that to 10–14 days. Emergency calls (fence on the ground after a storm, gate that won't latch) we try to fit same-week.
