Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Sun, sprinklers, termites and the occasional Santa Ana wind wear every San Diego fence down. We reset the posts, match the wood, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight.

Inland, the sun dries redwood and cedar until it splits. On the coast, salt air eats the hinges and latches first. Everywhere, sprinklers soak the base of the posts and subterranean termites finish the job below grade. The pickets are usually fine. The fence leans because the posts are gone.
In the City of San Diego a standard fence under seven feet needs no building permit, and a front property-line fence is limited to three feet (Information Bulletin 222). A like-for-like repair changes nothing. Other cities in the county have their own heights, and we check before building anything new.
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.
Salt air gets the hardware before it gets the wood. Hinges seize, latches stop catching, and the screws holding the rails let go. Morning fog keeps the base of each post damp, so the rot starts at the ground line where nobody looks. The fix is usually a new post, new rails and coated hardware, with the sound pickets kept.
The sun does the damage. Redwood and cedar dry out, split along the grain and turn gray, and a dog-ear picket that has baked for ten summers breaks when you lean on it. Then a Santa Ana wind takes a whole section. Most of these homes are in HOA communities, so we match the profile, the spacing and the stain, and new boards weather to match within a season.
A lot of these fences went up in the 1980s and 1990s. The posts were set in soil or thin concrete, and thirty years of sprinklers and subterranean termites have hollowed them at grade. The pickets often look fine. The fence leans because the posts are gone. Resetting the failed posts brings the whole line back straight without replacing the fence.
Describe the lean, the drag or the rot over the phone and you get a written San Diego price before anything goes on the calendar.
The truck leaves World Trade Drive with posts, rails, pickets, coastal hardware and concrete, so the usual repair is done when we pull away.
A gate that is done becomes a new wood gate built in your yard; a run that went over in a Santa Ana comes back on the posts that held.
Old wood and concrete leave with us, and the one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice.
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). A like-for-like repair changes nothing. Other cities in the county have their own heights; 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 San Diego HOAs do not need to approve a repair that matches the existing fence. A new gate, a new section or a different stain color sometimes needs a form. We can give you the materials and finish in writing for it.

Call 858-330-5590Call and we price it on the spot; most San Diego jobs are on the calendar within days. Because the truck carries posts, rails, pickets, hardware and concrete, the usual post reset, picket swap or gate rehang is done in one trip.
Yes. Posts, rails, pickets, hinges and latches are handyman work, and that is most of what San Diego fences need. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds California license #1106209 and is bonded and insured, so a rebuilt section or a new gate is covered too.
The price follows the number of failed posts, the amount of wood to replace and how easy the fence line is to reach; a canyon-edge fence in Scripps Ranch takes more work than a flat side yard in Clairemont. Text a photo or describe it on the call and you have the written price before we schedule.
No. Our lane is wood: posts, pickets, rails, sections, gates and stain. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl, iron work and electric gate openers go to a fence contractor, and we say so on the call while still fixing whatever can be saved.
Yes. We match the picket profile, the spacing and the stain; a new pressure-treated board grays to match a San Diego fence within a season, or we stain it to match before we leave.
A repair that matches the existing fence rarely needs anything. In the City of San Diego a fence under seven feet needs no permit. A new gate, a new section or a different color sometimes needs an HOA form, and we can put the materials and finish in writing for it.
