Posts reset, pickets matched, sagging gates rehung square. Priced on the call, usually finished in one visit.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs wood fences and gates across Pasadena, from Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights and the Arroyo streets to Linda Vista, East Pasadena and the foothill lots below the San Gabriels. Posts rotted at the ground are reset in fresh concrete, broken 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 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Hundred-year-old neighborhoods, oak roots, foothill wind and valley heat wear a Pasadena fence down. We reset the posts, match the wood and the style, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight.

Age, roots and wind. Pasadena's historic neighborhoods have fences on posts set long ago, and decades of water hollow them at grade while the pickets above still look fine. Old oaks and sycamores push sections out of line from below, and the foothill windstorms that come down off the San Gabriels take down whatever is weakest. The fix is new posts in concrete and matched boards in the style of the house, not a new fence.
A like-for-like repair needs nothing. California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, and Pasadena keeps a front-setback fence to four feet and at least half open, a side or rear fence to six, and anything within five feet of a street line to four. Historic districts have their own design review for anything new, and we check before building it.
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.
Craftsman homes with picket and board fences on posts set a century ago in some places. The posts go at grade while the pickets look fine. We reset the posts and match the picket style of the house, so the repair reads as original.
Big trees, slopes down to the Arroyo and long fences that carry their own weight. Roots push sections out of line and a rotted post lets a run rack. We reset the posts deeper and re-plumb the line around the roots.
The windstorms come down off the mountains here first. A section goes over, a gate rips off its hinges. We rebuild the section on the existing posts, reset the ones that moved and rehang the gate on stronger hardware.
Describe the fence or send a picture of it. You get the price on the call, written down, before anything goes on the schedule, so there is nothing to renegotiate at the house.
Posts, rails, pickets, hinges, latches and concrete ride along from Glendale, so a reset post, a picket swap or a rehung gate is usually done on the first trip.
A gate that is beyond repair becomes a single new wood gate up to four feet wide, built on site to match the fence. A run that fell is rebuilt on the posts that are still sound.
The old posts, boards and concrete go in the truck, the yard is swept, and your one-year workmanship warranty is written into the paperwork you keep.
California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit. Pasadena keeps a fence or wall in the front setback to four feet and at least 50 percent open, a side or rear fence to six feet, anything within five feet of a street line to four, and 30 inches at the edge of a driveway; height is measured from the grade as it stood in 2009. Landmark and historic districts add design review for anything new. A like-for-like repair changes nothing.
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 Pasadena has no association; the landmark and historic districts do the reviewing instead, and a like-for-like repair rarely needs it. A new gate, a new section or a different style sometimes does, and we can give you the materials and finish in writing for it.

Call 747-298-8227Call, or text a photo, and the repair is priced on that call. Most Pasadena fence and gate jobs go on the calendar within days, and the truck leaves Glendale with posts, rails, pickets, hinges, latches and concrete on board, so the usual reset, swap or rehang is done in one visit.
Yes. Posts, rails, pickets, hinges and latches are the bread and butter of handyman work, and that covers most Pasadena fences. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, which puts a Craftsman match in a historic district, a new gate or a rebuilt section in scope too.
Three things set the price: how many posts are gone, how much new wood goes in, and how hard the line is to get to. A run behind an Arroyo lot with roots in it takes longer than a flat East Pasadena side yard. Describe it or text a photo and the written price comes on the call, before we book anything.
Yes. We match the picket profile, the spacing, the cap and the finish of the house, so the repair reads as original. In a landmark district we tell you on the call if anything new needs design review.
No. Wood repair is our lane: posts, rails, pickets, sections, gates and stain. We do not do whole-fence replacement, and vinyl, iron and electric gate openers are not ours either. If that is what your Pasadena fence needs, we say so on the call and still repair whatever can be saved.
Not a like-for-like repair. California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, and Pasadena keeps side and rear fences to six feet. A new fence in a historic district can need design review, and we tell you that on the call.
