Estimating Fence Repair: Posts, Pickets and Gates
Common Fence Jobs
- Replacing broken pickets.
- Resetting a leaning post.
- Fixing a sagging gate.
- Replacing a section.
Posts Are the Big Variable
Resetting a post in concrete takes far longer than nailing pickets. Count posts separately.
Gates
A sagging gate is usually a hinge, a post or a missing brace. Price gate repair as its own item.
Repair vs Replace
When more than a third of a section is bad, replacing it is often cheaper. Give the customer both options.
Utility Lines
Setting posts means digging. Follow your local call-before-you-dig rules.
