BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs wood fences and gates across Sunnyvale, from Cherry Chase, Fairbrae and Birdland to the Heritage District, Ponderosa Park, Lakewood and San Miguel. 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 Murphy Avenue in Sunnyvale.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Small lots, fences shared with two or three neighbors and sprinklers at the base of every post wear a Sunnyvale fence down. We reset the posts, match the wood, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight. Our office is on Murphy Avenue, so we are never far.

Age and water. Most Sunnyvale fences went up with the tracts in the fifties and sixties, and many have been patched rather than rebuilt since. Sprinklers keep the ground wet at the base of the posts, termites find the wood where it meets the soil, and the posts rot at grade while the boards above still look fine. The fix is new posts in fresh concrete and matched boards, with one price for both sides of a shared fence.
Not for a repair. Sunnyvale allows a fence up to four feet in the front yard and up to eight at the side and rear, and California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit. A like-for-like repair changes nothing, and we check before building anything new or taller.
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.
Mid-century tracts, including the city's Eichlers, with fences on their original posts and courtyard gates that open all day. The posts rot at grade and the gates sag. We reset the posts and match the board style, so the fence still suits the house.
Older lots, mature trees and fences between neighbors that have been patched for decades. We replace the sections that have gone, reset the failed posts and match the boards, so the repair reads as one fence again.
Smaller lots and good-neighbor fences with gates on every side yard. The hinge post goes first and the gate drags. We reset the post, rehang the gate square and price a shared fence once, for both sides.
Say what the gate or fence is doing, or text us a picture. We work out the price on that call and put it in writing. The schedule comes after, not before.
From Murphy Avenue the truck leaves loaded with posts, rails, pickets, hinges, latches and concrete, which is why the usual Sunnyvale repair is finished the first time out.
Some gates are done. Those get a new single wood gate, up to four feet wide, built on the spot. A section that fell is rebuilt on the posts that are still sound.
We haul off the old wood and hardware, sweep the side yard, and leave the one-year workmanship warranty with you in writing.
Sunnyvale allows a fence up to four feet in the front yard by right, and up to eight feet at the side and rear, measured from the higher side; taller front fences take a miscellaneous plan permit. California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, so an eight-foot fence takes one. Near a corner, solid fences stay out of the vision triangle. 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 Sunnyvale has no association; the Eichler tracts follow the city's Eichler design guidelines. A repair that matches the existing fence rarely needs approval; a new design or a taller fence sometimes needs a review, and we can put the materials and finish in writing for it.

Call 408-916-4022Quickly, because the office is on Murphy Avenue and the truck is already stocked. You get the price on the first call, and most Sunnyvale repairs are scheduled within days. Posts, concrete, rails, pickets and hardware come along, so a reset post, swapped boards or a rehung gate is done in one visit.
Yes, that is who should do it. Resetting posts, replacing rails and pickets, and swapping hinges and latches are handyman jobs, and on a Sunnyvale tract fence they are most of what goes wrong. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, which also covers a rebuilt section or a new gate.
It comes down to the count of failed posts, the amount of wood that must be replaced and how hard the fence is to reach on a small Sunnyvale lot. Send a photo or describe it and we give you the figure on the call, in writing, before any date is set.
Yes. We match the board width, the spacing and the finish of the fence that came with the house, and new wood is stained to match on the day. Tell us the street or send a photo and we price it on the call.
No. We stay in our lane, which is repairing wood fences and gates: posts, rails, pickets, sections, gate hardware and stain. A whole-fence replacement, vinyl, iron and electric gate openers are other trades. When a fence truly needs one of those, you hear it from us on the call, and we still rehang the gate and repair the sections that are sound.
Not a like-for-like repair. Sunnyvale allows side and rear fences up to eight feet and front fences up to four, and California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit. A taller front fence takes a city permit, and we tell you that on the call.
