BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs wood fences and gates across Hillsboro, from Orenco Station, Tanasbourne and AmberGlen to Shute Park, Jackson School and the new streets of South Hillsboro. Posts rotted at the ground line are reset in fresh concrete, broken cedar pickets and rails are matched, and gates that drag are rehung square, usually in one visit. You get the price on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled, and we keep every board that is still sound. Since 2005, from our office on Tanasbourne Drive in Hillsboro.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Eight months of rain, valley soil that drains slowly and moss on every shaded board wear a Hillsboro fence down. We reset the posts, match the cedar, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight. Our office is on Tanasbourne Drive, so we are never far.

Water that stays put. Much of the Tualatin Valley floor is silt loam that drains slowly, with water sitting a foot or two down through the wet season, and nearly all of the year's rain falls between October and May. A post set in that soil rots at the ground line while the pickets above still look sound, and moss on the shaded side keeps the boards wet. The fix is new posts in fresh concrete and matched cedar, not a new fence.
Hillsboro is stricter than its neighbors: a new fence, or moving part of one, takes a city fence permit, though Oregon needs no building permit for a wood fence up to seven feet. The code does not name a repair in place, so before we rebuild a section we check with the city. Posts, pickets and gates we simply fix.
Reset posts and matching pickets fix most fences for a fraction of the cost of a new one, and that is the work we do. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl and iron are not our lane. If that is what the fence needs, we say so on the call, and we still fix the gate and the sections that can be saved.
Oregon's residential code wants a pool barrier gate that closes and latches on its own, with the release out of a small child's reach. If a pool gate drags open, that is the first thing we fix. The gap the dog found at the bottom is a rail and a picket, fixed in the same visit.
Planned streets with association standards and fences between close lots. The posts rot where the downspouts and sprinklers reach them, and the gates sag. We reset the posts, rehang the gates square and match the association's board and stain.
Older homes, big trees and fences on their original posts. The bottoms of the boards go soft under the moss and the run leans. We replace what has gone, keep what is sound and match the cedar.
Newer fences that were set shallow, in valley soil that stays wet. A few winters in, the posts loosen and the gates drag. We reset the posts deeper in concrete and rehang the gates, so they hold through the next wet season.
Describe the trouble, or text a photo of it, and the price is quoted on that call and put in writing. Nothing goes on the schedule until you have seen it.
Our office is on Tanasbourne Drive, so the truck is never far, and it carries posts, rails, pickets, gate hardware and concrete. The usual Hillsboro repair is done on the first visit.
A gate that cannot be saved is rebuilt on site as a single wood gate up to four feet wide. A section that fell is rebuilt on the posts that are still standing.
Everything we took out, posts, boards, hardware and the old concrete, goes back on the truck. The one-year workmanship warranty is in writing and in your hands before we leave.
Oregon exempts wood fences up to seven feet from a building permit, but Hillsboro asks for a city fence permit to install a new fence or move part of one. Its code keeps a residential fence to six feet two inches, or four feet two inches in the front setback, and a vision clearance triangle at corners and driveways open between 30 inches and 10 feet. Before we rebuild a section, we check with the city.
Oregon's residential code expects a pool barrier gate to close and latch on its own, with the release out of a small child's reach. If your pool gate drags open or the latch no longer catches, that is the first thing we fix.
Orenco Station, Tanasbourne, AmberGlen and the South Hillsboro neighborhoods have associations with fence standards. A repair that matches the existing fence rarely needs approval; a new gate or a different stain sometimes needs a form, and we can put the materials and finish in writing for it.

Call 971-571-5787Priced on the call and usually scheduled within days, from an office on Tanasbourne Drive that is never far from your street. The truck shows up with posts, rails, pickets, hinges, latches and concrete, so resetting a post, swapping a run of pickets or rehanging a gate in Hillsboro is normally finished in one visit.
Yes. Hinges, latches, pickets, rails and posts: handyman work, all of it, and most of what a Hillsboro fence ever needs. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so rebuilding a section or building a new wood gate on site is handled by the same technician. The one thing we check first is the city's fence permit, which Hillsboro asks for on a new fence or a moved one, not a repair.
How many posts failed, how much cedar has to be replaced, and how easily the fence can be got at set the price. A run against the back of a South Hillsboro lot costs more to get at than a side gate on the driveway. Say what it is doing or text a photo, and the figure comes on the call, in writing, before we book a date.
Usually not to fix it. Hillsboro asks for a fence permit to install a new fence or move part of one, and Oregon needs no building permit for a wood fence up to seven feet. Resetting posts, swapping pickets and rehanging a gate is repair; before we rebuild a whole section, we check with the city.
No. Posts, pickets, rails, sections, gates and stain on a wood fence are what we repair in Hillsboro. A whole-fence replacement, vinyl, iron or aluminum fencing and electric gate openers are outside our lane, and we tell you so on the call. The gate and the sections worth saving, we still fix.
Yes. Posts are reset in concrete that cures in the wet, and a picket swap or a gate rehang takes a few hours between showers. Staining and sealing wait for a dry stretch, and we tell you which part of the job that is.
