Salt-rusted hardware replaced, posts reset, boards matched on both faces, gates rehung square. Priced on the call, usually finished in one visit.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs wood fences and gates across Miami Beach, from Flamingo Park and the Venetian Islands to Nautilus, La Gorce and Normandy Isles. Posts eaten at the ground by termites and damp are reset in fresh concrete, broken pickets and rails are matched, and gates that sagged in the last storm 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 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Ocean on one side, the bay on the other, salt air on every hinge and a hurricane season every year wear a Miami Beach fence down faster than anywhere inland. We replace the hardware, reset the posts, match the boards on both faces, and rehang the gate so it latches with one hand. Same fence, standing straight.

On Miami Beach the one-year workmanship warranty matters, so every repair gets it in writing before we leave.
Salt first. On a barrier island the salt air takes plain steel hinges, latches and rail screws within a season or two, and the wood follows. The water table is close under the sand, so posts stay damp at grade, and termites find them there. Then a storm leans on the weakened run. The fix is coated or stainless hardware, new posts in concrete and matched boards, not a new fence.
Miami Beach asks for a building permit for fence work, with a signed and sealed survey and plans, and a wood fence has to be finished the same on both sides with its supports facing in. In a historic district a certificate of appropriateness comes first, at staff level for fences. We tell you on the call what your job needs.
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, aluminum 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.
Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act wants a pool barrier gate that opens away from the pool and closes and latches on its own, with the release on the pool side where a small child cannot reach it. That 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.
The oldest streets on the island, most in historic districts, and island lots with water all around. The hardware rusts first. We replace it with coated or stainless, reset the posts and match the fence, with the certificate of appropriateness handled before anything new.
Larger waterfront and golf-course lots with long runs and heavy gates. Salt and damp take the hinge post first and the gate drags. We reset the post, rehang the gate on hardware sized for it and match the boards on both faces.
Smaller lots from the 1940s and 1950s, with ocean air on one side and the bay on the other. The posts rot at grade while the boards look fine. We reset them and rebuild the sections that have gone.
Send a photo of the rust or the lean, or just describe it. The repair is priced on that call, put in writing, and nothing is booked until you say go.
Coated hardware, posts, rails, boards and concrete come over to the island with us, so a hardware swap, a post reset or a gate rehang is usually finished the first time out.
When the gate is done, a single wood gate up to four feet wide is built on site, finished on both faces to match. A section the wind laid flat goes back up on the existing posts.
The rusted hardware, soft posts and split boards leave with the truck, the side yard is swept, and the one-year workmanship warranty is in writing in your hand.
Miami Beach asks for a building permit for fence work, with a signed and sealed survey, plans and product approval where it applies. On single-family lots a front fence is held to five feet at the property line, rising a foot for every two feet it sits back up to seven, a side fence on a street, waterway or golf course to five, and an interior side or rear fence to seven. Wood fences are finished the same on both sides with the supports facing in. In historic districts a certificate of appropriateness comes first.
Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act expects a pool barrier gate to open outward, away from the pool, and to close and latch on its own with the release on the pool side out of a child's reach. If your pool gate drags open or the latch no longer catches, that is the first thing we fix.
Most single-family streets in Miami Beach have no association; some of the gated islands do. A repair that matches the existing fence rarely needs one. In a historic district a new gate, a new section or a different look needs a certificate of appropriateness, and we can give you the materials and finish in writing for it.

Call 786-527-2055On Miami Beach most of it is priced on the first call and on the calendar within days. The truck carries coated hardware, posts, rails, boards and concrete, so a hardware swap, a post reset or a gate rehang is one visit. A new gate in a historic district waits for the certificate of appropriateness, and we say so on the call.
Yes. Swapping hinges and latches, resetting posts and replacing boards is handyman work, and on a barrier island that is most of what a fence needs. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, and the same technician handles a rebuilt section, a new gate or a pool gate brought to the Florida standard.
Three things set a Miami Beach price: how many posts are gone, how much wood and hardware has to be replaced, and how we get to the fence on an island lot. Text a photo or describe it, and the figure comes back in writing on the same call, before a date is set. We do not print dollar amounts, because a South Beach side-yard fence and a Bayshore waterfront run are different jobs.
Because plain steel does not last on a barrier island. We replace hinges, latches and screws with coated or stainless hardware sized for the gate, reset the hinge post if it has moved and rehang the gate square.
No. Our work on Miami Beach is wood fence and gate repair: hardware, posts, boards, gates, sections, stain. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl, aluminum, iron and electric gate openers are other trades. If your fence is past repair we tell you on the call, and we still swap the hardware, rehang the gate and fix the sections that can be kept.
Usually. The city asks for a building permit for fence work, and in a historic district a certificate of appropriateness first, which the staff can grant for fences. We tell you on the call what your job needs.
