What's included

Every fence & gate repair job covers

The same checklist whether it's a quick fix or the full replacement.

  • Leaning and broken posts reset or replaced — the root cause of most fence sag
  • Posts set to real depth in proper concrete, crowned to shed water
  • Storm-blown panels and pickets rebuilt and matched to weathered wood
  • Gates rehung, braced, and latching smoothly — the part everyone touches daily
  • Rotted rails sistered or replaced before the pickets follow them down
  • Honest triage: what needs fixing now, what has seasons left, what's done

Who shows up

Hi, I'm Zack.

Fifteen years on the tools across the west Denver metro. Most 'my fence is falling down' calls are two or three failed posts holding a grudge, and fixing those properly rescues the rest of the run.

Posts rot right at grade and our clay heaves the shallow-set ones a little more each spring. Reset to real depth in crowned concrete, they stop moving.

“Great work, great communication, great follow-through. I'm very impressed with the attic fan install Zack did, which involved long, hot work amidst blown-in insulation. He made himself available quickly and then stayed late to finish the job. Thanks Zack.”

Common questions

Fence & Gate Repair FAQs

Quick answers to the questions Denver homeowners and businesses ask me most.

My fence is leaning after the last windstorm. Can it be straightened?

Usually, yes — a lean means posts have failed or their footing has, and the fix is resetting or replacing those posts rather than replacing the run. Straighten, brace, re-set in proper concrete, and the fence stands square again. What I'll check while I'm there is whether neighboring posts are on the same trajectory, because wind finds the weakest one each storm in order.

Why does my gate keep sagging no matter how I adjust it?

Because adjustment treats the symptom. Gates sag from three causes: a hinge post going soft or loose, a frame with no real diagonal bracing, or hardware too light for the gate. The lasting fix addresses the actual one — often a solid re-set hinge post plus a properly braced frame. Anti-sag kits work when installed on the correct diagonal, which is the step the instructions lose people on.

Should I repair my old fence or replace the whole thing?

Count the failures honestly: a fence with a few bad posts and some storm damage repairs well and cheaply. A fence where most posts wiggle, rails crumble at every fastener, and pickets snap when leaned on has finished its service life, and repairs become a subscription. I'll walk the line with you, sort it into fix-now, watch, and done, and tell you plainly which side of the math your fence is on.

Can you repair a fence I share with a neighbour?

Yes, and I'd suggest sorting out who's paying for what before I start rather than after. Shared fences in Littleton and Lakewood are frequently the source of an awkward conversation; a written estimate you can both look at makes it a much easier one. I'll happily quote the whole run or just your side.
