FAQs for Gate Repair:

 

Q: How much does it cost to repair my wooden gate in Petaluma?

 

A: The average cost to repair a wooden gate in Petaluma typically ranges from $250 to $600 for a professional repair, depending on extent of repair, and type of material used.

 

Things to consider - age of gate, using redwood vs. pressure-treated (redwood is more costly and less resilient than pressure-treated wood, but more aesthetically desirable), and long-term or temporary repair.

 

Q: The post holding my gate up has rotted out. Does it need to be replaced?

 

A: Not necessarily. Ed of GottaGuy Services based in Petaluma can often fix a broken or rotted gate post using iron bracing. Iron bracing works like a splint on a broken bone; joining the two ends back together making it nearly or exactly as sturdy as when it was new. 

 

The iron bracing method saves a good amount of labor and material cost. Removing and replacing a fence post can take several hours. Installing a fence post bracket takes roughly half the time in both labor and materials.

 

Q: Which is better for my gate repair: a contractor or a handyman?

 

A: Generally, a handyman for your gate repair project would be more advantageous. Ed of GottaGuy Services fills that need by having a more flexible schedule and well as less cost than a contractor.

 

Ed specializes in smaller jobs like wooden gate repair and replacement that a contractor would consider too small.

 

Q; Why is my gate dragging?

 

A: There could be multiple factors: the gate frame may be failing; going from a square to a parallelogram shape (from a rotted frame or loosening nails), failing hinges pulling out from the post or gate, improperly built frame with diagonal brace backward or missing.

 

Ed of GottaGuy Services based in Petaluma will be able to provide advice after an on-site inspection.
