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 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Strict city rules on what a fence may be, old trees, a wet season that keeps every post damp and salt air on the waterfront wear a Coral Gables fence down and make every repair a careful one. We reset the posts, match the wood and the finish, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight.

Water, shade and age. The Gables is shaded by old trees and irrigated year round, so wood posts and gates stay damp at grade and termites work on them there. Gates hung in masonry walls drag once a hinge loosens. On the waterfront, salt air takes the hardware. And because the city limits where a wood fence may stand at all, the existing ones are worth keeping: the fix is a careful repair that matches, not a new fence.
Coral Gables is the strictest city in the county on fences: a new wood picket fence is an allowed material only on Santa Maria Street and in Golden Gate, MacFarlane Homestead, the Coconut Grove Warehouse Subdivision and Kings Bay, and fence permits go through the city architect first. We repair existing wood fences and gates to match; anything new, we check with the city first.
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, aluminum 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.
Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act wants a pool barrier gate that opens away from the pool and closes and latches on its own, with the release on the pool side where a small child cannot reach it. That is the first thing we check on a pool fence. The gap the dog found at the bottom is a rail and a picket, fixed in the same visit.
Mediterranean homes under strict review, with wood gates in garden walls and older fences that predate today's material list. We repair what is there to match, reset the gate posts and rehang the gates, and check with the city before anything changes.
The places where the code allows a wood picket fence: four feet at most, cedar, cypress or redwood, painted on both sides, rotting wood replaced. We match the pickets, the spacing and the paint, and replace the rot the city asks about.
Gated estates with associations, salt air and heavy gates. The hardware rusts first and the hinge posts move. We replace the hardware with coated or stainless and rehang the gates square.
Send a photo of the gate in the wall or the leaning pickets, or just describe it. The price comes back on that call, written out, and nothing is scheduled until you approve it.
Concrete, posts, rails, pickets and gate hardware ride in on the first trip, so a reset post, a matched picket run or a rehung garden gate is normally finished before we leave Coral Gables that day.
A gate too far gone is replaced with a single wood gate, four feet wide at most, built on site. A section that has come down is rebuilt on the posts already standing.
Rotten pickets, the old post and the chipped paint go with us. The one-year workmanship warranty is in writing on your paperwork, not a promise you have to remember.
Coral Gables keeps walls and fences to four feet, six for an iron or aluminum picket fence between masonry columns with the Board of Architects' approval, and a few subdivisions allow six. A wood picket fence is an allowed material only on Santa Maria Street and in Golden Gate, MacFarlane Homestead, the Coconut Grove Warehouse Subdivision and Kings Bay, at four feet, in cedar, cypress or redwood, painted on both sides. Fence permits go through the city architect and then the building department, with drawings and a survey.
Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act expects a pool barrier gate to open outward, away from the pool, and to close and latch on its own with the release on the pool side out of a child's reach. If your pool gate drags open or the latch no longer catches, that is the first thing we fix.
The old core has no associations; the city's architectural review does that work. The gated waterfront enclaves have associations as well. A repair that matches the existing fence is the simplest path through both, and we can give you the materials and finish in writing for any review.

Call 786-527-2055Usually within days. The price is set on the first call, the visit goes on the calendar, and the technician arrives with the posts, hardware, pickets and concrete the job needs. A post reset, a run of matched pickets or a gate rehung in its wall is a one-visit job in Coral Gables.
Yes, and in Coral Gables that is the right call, because a careful matching repair is what the city wants to see. Posts, rails, pickets, a hinge, a latch: handyman work. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, and a rebuilt section or a new gate stays with the same crew.
The price follows the failed posts, the wood that has to go, and the access, which in the Gables often means a gate inside a masonry wall or a fence behind a hedge. Describe it or text a photo, and you have the figure on the call, in writing, before any date is booked.
It depends where you live. The city allows a new wood picket fence only on Santa Maria Street and in Golden Gate, MacFarlane Homestead, the Coconut Grove Warehouse Subdivision and Kings Bay. Elsewhere we repair the existing wood fence and gates to match, and for anything new we check with the city first.
No. We repair the wood fence and gate you already have, which in Coral Gables is usually the one the city wants kept. Vinyl, aluminum and iron fencing, electric gate openers and whole-fence replacement are outside our lane, and we say that on the call. The gate and the sound sections, we still fix.
Most fence work in Coral Gables goes through the city architect and a building permit. A repair that matches the existing fence is the simplest case. We tell you on the call what your job needs.
