Rusted coastal hardware replaced, posts reset, sagging gates rehung square. Priced on the call, usually finished in one visit.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs wood fences and gates across La Jolla, from Bird Rock and Windansea to the Shores and the Muirlands. Hinges and latches the salt air has eaten are replaced with coated hardware, posts rotted at the ground are reset in fresh concrete, 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 San Diego office.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Salt air, morning fog and the first ocean wind of the afternoon wear every La Jolla fence down from the hardware in. We replace what has rusted, reset the posts, match the wood, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight.

From the hardware in. Salt air finds plain steel hinges, latches and screws within a few seasons, and once the rail screws let go the section racks. Below that, morning fog and the marine layer keep the base of every post damp, so the rot starts at the ground line where nobody looks. The pickets usually look fine. The fence leans because the posts and the hardware are gone.
La Jolla is in the City of San Diego: a standard fence under seven feet needs no building permit, and a fence along the front property line is limited to three feet (Information Bulletin 222). A like-for-like repair changes nothing. Parts of La Jolla sit in the Coastal Overlay, where a new fence that affects a view can need more, and we check before building anything new.
Reset posts, coated hardware 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.
Salt air gets the hardware before it gets the wood. Hinges seize, latches stop catching, and the screws holding the rails let go within a few seasons of plain steel. The marine layer keeps the base of each post damp, so the rot starts at the ground line. The fix is a new post, new rails and coated or stainless hardware, with the sound pickets kept.
Slopes, retaining walls and long side-yard runs that carry their own weight downhill. One rotted post lets a whole section rack, and the afternoon wind off the water finishes it. We reset the post, re-plumb the run and brace the gate so it stops dragging on the walk.
1970s and 1980s fences on posts set in soil, with thirty years of sprinklers and subterranean termites behind them. The pickets often look fine; the fence leans because the posts are gone at grade. Resetting the failed posts brings the line back straight without replacing the fence.
We price the repair on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled.
Posts, rails, pickets, hardware and concrete come along, so a post reset, a picket swap or a gate rehang is finished the same day we arrive.
A gate that is done gets a new single wood gate built on site, up to four feet wide. A fallen section is rebuilt on the existing posts.
The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty.
La Jolla is in the City of San Diego: a standard wood, chain link or masonry fence under seven feet needs no building permit, and a fence along the front property line is limited to three feet (Information Bulletin 222). Parts of La Jolla sit in the Coastal Overlay, where a new fence that affects a public view can need a permit of its own. A like-for-like repair changes nothing; 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.
Most of La Jolla has no association, and the ones that exist rarely 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 858-330-5590We answer in under three rings, price most fence and gate repairs on the call, and usually schedule within days. The technician brings posts, rails, pickets, coated hardware and concrete, so a post reset, a picket swap or a gate rehang is finished in one visit.
Yes. Most fence and gate repairs are exactly handyman work: posts, rails, pickets, hinges and latches. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a rebuilt section or a new gate is not a problem either.
It depends on three things: how many posts have failed, how much wood and hardware needs replacing, and how easy the fence is to reach. Tell us what the fence is doing, or text a photo, and we give you the price on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled. No surprises at the house.
Coated or stainless hinges and latches and exterior-rated screws. The old hardware rusted through because it was plain steel; the replacement is made for salt air, and we seal the new wood while we are there.
No. We repair wood fences and gates: posts, pickets, rails, sections, gates and staining. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl fencing, iron work and electric gate openers are not our lane. If your fence needs one of those, we tell you on the call and still fix what can be saved.
Not a like-for-like repair. La Jolla is in the City of San Diego, where a fence under seven feet needs no building permit. A new fence in the Coastal Overlay that affects a view can need one, and we tell you that on the call.
