Q: How long does fence repair take?

Q: Does GottaGuy Services repair all types of fences?
A: GottaGuy Services repairs wood fences, including redwood and cedar, which are common in Petaluma and Sonoma County. This includes board replacement, post reinforcement, rail repair, and gate repair.
Q: What is the advantage of hiring a handyman versus a fence contractor for fence repair?
A: Generally, a handyman provider like GottaGuy Services will look to make minor repairs, like using fence post brackets to shore up and reinforce rotted, broken and loose posts, and replacing broken / rotted rails and fence boards, or re-aligning sagging gates as needed.
A fence contractor can take on major repairs, and more often oriented towards a full replacement of an aging fence rather than make multiple minor repairs, as it is not economically feasible as they are a larger operation with more overhead.
