BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs wood fences and gates across Irvine and central Orange County. Leaning posts are reset in fresh concrete, broken pickets and rails are matched to the profile your village uses, and sagging gates 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 Orange County office on Michelson Drive.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Sun, daily irrigation and forty-year-old posts wear every Irvine fence down, and the HOA expects the repair to match. We reset the posts, match the wood and the stain, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight.

Irvine's fences live on irrigation. Sprinklers and drip lines soak the base of every post twice a day, and a post set in the 1970s or 1980s has spent forty years with wet feet. Above grade, the inland sun dries redwood and cedar until it checks and splits. The pickets usually look fine. The fence leans because the posts are gone at the ground line.
A like-for-like repair needs nothing from the city. California's building code exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, and Irvine's zoning caps a fence in a required setback at seven feet, with front-setback fences starting at two and a half feet at the property line. The approval that matters in Irvine is usually the HOA's, and a matching repair rarely needs one.
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.
A pool gate should close and latch on its own, with the latch release at least 60 inches up. That is the standard in California's Swimming Pool Safety Act, and it 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.
Wood fences from the 1970s and 1980s on posts that have spent forty years in irrigated soil. The posts go at the ground line while the pickets still look fine, so the whole run leans. Resetting the failed posts brings the line back straight, and we match the dog-ear or board-on-board profile the village uses so the repair passes the HOA's eye.
Slope lots, retaining walls and long side-yard runs. A fence on a slope carries its own weight downhill, and one rotted post lets a whole section rack. We reset the post, re-plumb the run and brace the gate so it stops dragging on the walk. Hardware here is usually fine; it is the wood at grade that fails.
Newer fences, newer failures: a gate that never latched right, a rail screw that backed out, a post set shallow by the builder. These are one-visit fixes, and the materials are still easy to match. HOA design standards are strict here, so we photograph the existing fence and match it exactly.
Send a photo of the gate or the HOA letter, or describe the fence on the phone. The price is in writing on that call, and the visit is set only after you have it.
The truck leaves Michelson Drive with posts, rails, pickets, hardware and concrete, plus the stain, so the post reset, the picket match or the gate rehang in Westpark is done the first time.
When a gate cannot be rehung we build a new single wood gate on site in your village's profile, up to four feet wide. A section on the ground is rebuilt on the existing posts.
Old posts, split pickets and concrete spoil leave with the truck, the side yard is swept, and your one-year workmanship warranty goes in writing, ready for the association file.
California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, and Irvine's zoning caps a fence in a required setback at seven feet; a front-setback fence starts at two and a half feet at the property line and may rise one foot for every three feet it steps back. Chain link and grape stakes are not allowed in Irvine at all. A like-for-like repair changes nothing, and we check before building anything new.
California's Swimming Pool Safety Act expects a pool barrier gate to close and latch on its own, with the latch release at least 60 inches above the ground. If your pool gate drags open or the latch no longer catches, that is the first thing we fix.
Almost every Irvine home is in a village association, and most do not need to approve a repair that matches the existing fence. A new gate, a new section or a different stain sometimes needs a form. We can give you the materials and finish in writing for it.

Call 714-844-1582Priced on the call, scheduled usually within days. On the truck are posts, rails, pickets, hardware, concrete and the stain your village uses, so a reset post, a matched run of pickets or a rehung gate is finished in the one visit, with something to show the HOA.
Yes. Resetting posts, matching pickets, fixing rails, hinges and latches is handyman work, and in Irvine the added skill is matching the village profile so the HOA is satisfied. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, and a rebuilt run or a gate built new is the same technician, the same paperwork.
The number follows the count of posts that have failed, the amount of wood being replaced, and the access, which in a village side yard with a drip line along the fence is usually simple. Matching the HOA's profile and stain is part of the price, not an extra. Text a photo or walk us through it on the phone, and the price is on the call, in writing, before the visit is scheduled.
A repair that matches the existing fence almost always does. We match the picket profile, the spacing and the stain your village uses, and new boards weather to match within a season or are stained to match on the day. If your association wants paperwork, we put the materials and finish in writing.
No. We stay in the wood repair lane: posts, rails, pickets, sections, gates and stain, matched to the village. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl, iron and electric gate openers are not ours, and chain link is not allowed in Irvine anyway. If that is what the fence needs, you hear it on the call, and we still rehang the gate and keep every run that can be kept.
Not a like-for-like repair. California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, and Irvine's zoning caps fences in a required setback at seven feet. A new, taller fence would need the city's Administrative Relief, and we would tell you that on the call.
