BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs wood fences and gates across Walnut Creek, from Northgate and Rancho San Miguel to Parkmead, Saranap and Tice Valley. 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 Quail Court in Walnut Creek.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Oak shade, sprinklers at the base of every post and long fences on the open-space edge wear a Walnut Creek 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 Quail Court, so we are never far.

Water at the ground line. Walnut Creek gardens are watered all summer and the clay stays wet all winter, so the posts rot at grade while the boards above still look fine. Under the oaks the fence never dries out; on the open-space edge it bakes. One weak post lets a run lean, and deer and the fall winds find it. The fix is new posts in fresh concrete and matched boards, not a new fence.
Not for a repair. California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, and Walnut Creek keeps a front fence to three feet and a side or rear fence to seven. A like-for-like repair changes nothing; anything taller takes a minor use permit, 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.
Long back fences on the open space and the hills. The boards bake in the sun and the posts go where the irrigation reaches them. We reset the failed posts, replace the split boards to match and close the gaps the deer found.
Older fences between neighbors on their original posts, shaded by the oaks and never quite dry. The posts go at grade and the run leans. Resetting them brings the line back straight, and a shared fence gets one price for both sides.
Hillside lots, pools and side gates. The pool gate stops closing on its own and the hinge post leans. We reset the post and rehang the gate so it closes and latches every time. In Rossmoor we work to the community's own rules.
Call and tell us which post wobbles or which gate drags, or text a photo. We put a price on it during that call, in writing, and only then talk about a day.
The truck from Quail Court carries posts, rails, pickets, hinges, latches and concrete. That is why a reset post, new pickets or a rehung gate in Walnut Creek is usually done on the first visit.
If the gate is beyond repair, we build a new single wood gate on site, four feet wide at most. A section the deer or the wind took down goes back up on the posts still standing.
Rotted posts and split boards leave on the truck and the yard is left as we found it, minus the problem. The one-year workmanship warranty goes in writing.
California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit. Walnut Creek's zoning code keeps a fence in the front setback to three feet and a side or rear fence, or the street side of a corner lot, to seven, measured from the higher side; anything taller takes a minor use permit with a hearing. Residential fences are wood, iron or steel. 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.
Rossmoor and many of the newer streets run their own architectural rules. A repair that matches the existing fence rarely needs approval; a new gate, a new section or a different stain sometimes needs a form, and we can give you the materials and finish in writing for it.

Call 925-302-5955The price comes on the first call, and a Walnut Creek job usually gets a date within days. Because the office is on Quail Court and the truck carries posts, concrete, rails, pickets and hardware, a rotted post, a few pickets or a dragging gate is done in one visit, and a section the deer pushed through usually is as well.
Yes. Fence and gate repair is handyman work at heart: posts, rails, pickets, hinges, latches. That is what fails in Walnut Creek, under the oaks or on the open-space edge, and it is what we fix. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, and a rebuilt section or a brand new gate is within reach too.
How many posts failed, how much wood has to be replaced, and how reachable the fence is: those three set the price. A long run on the open space in Northgate is a different job from one post between two downtown yards. Text a photo or describe it and we price it on the call, in writing, before any date is picked.
Yes. Deer push through where a post has rotted or a rail has let go. We reset the post, replace the rail and the boards to match, and check the rest of the run for the next weak spot while we are there.
No. Wood fence and gate repair is the whole of our lane: posts, pickets, rails, gates, sections and stain. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl, iron and electric gate openers are not things we do, and we tell you that on the call rather than at the house. We still fix the gate and keep every section that can be kept.
Not a like-for-like repair. California exempts fences up to seven feet from a building permit, and Walnut Creek allows side and rear fences up to seven feet. A front fence over three feet, or anything taller than seven, needs the city first, and we tell you that on the call.
