Leaning fence panels, gates that will not latch, soft deck boards and loose railings repaired for Florida's wet, humid weather.
Fence, gate and deck repair covers replacing damaged fence boards and posts, repairing gate latches, hinges and alignment, and fixing deck boards, stairs, railings, porch railings and patios. It applies to wood and vinyl fencing and to existing outdoor structures that need repair rather than rebuilding.

About Casselberry: North of downtown Orlando, Casselberry is a Seminole County city with many lakes, including Lake Howell, Lake Kathryn and the Triplet Chain of Lakes. Housing is a mix of detached houses, attached homes and multi-unit buildings, with much of it a few decades old.
Before anyone picks up a drill, the first question on a fence repair is whose fence it is. Casselberry’s housing is mixed: a detached house typically has a fence and gate with one owner, while an attached home, or a unit in a multi-unit building, can share a fence line, patio or porch rail, so responsibility for a repair is not always obvious from the street.
Once ownership is clear, the repair happens in place. On a gate that means adjusting a sag, replacing hinges or fitting a latch that catches again. On wood or vinyl fencing it means replacing a cracked board, securing a panel that leans and repairing a post that moves when pushed. On a small deck or porch it means split boards, a loose stair and a rail that wobbles. If a deck feels soft or bouncy, have it looked at first, since the framing under it may be outside handyman scope.
Before booking, confirm what is yours to repair with the owner or landlord, and check with your local building department or HOA about fence height, property lines and approvals. Then note each problem by spot, with a photo. One visit suits a single gate or rail, and a monthly or quarterly plan can fit a rental that changes hands.

These answers apply across the Orlando metro, including Winter Park, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, Windermere, Oviedo and Winter Garden.
Saturated ground can let posts shift, and humidity swells and shrinks wood, so gates drop and latches stop lining up. Many gates only need hinge, latch or post work. On a pool gate, a latch that no longer catches is a safety issue worth fixing soon.
Often, yes. A leaning section usually traces to one or more loose or rotted posts, and damaged boards and panels can be replaced individually. If most posts and rails have gone soft, repairing section by section may stop making sense and a full replacement may be the better route.
Replacing worn surface boards and repairing stairs and railings is routine repair. A deck that feels soft or bouncy may have a problem in the framing underneath, so keep weight off it until it is inspected. Major structural work may be outside handyman scope and may involve permits.
That depends on the property and any rules that apply, so confirm with the owner or landlord first, and check with your local building department or HOA. Once a fence, gate or rail is yours to repair, Clean Corps repairs what is there. It does not build new ones.
Often the trouble is the hinges, the post the gate hangs from or the latch. A visit can adjust or replace the hardware and bring the gate back into line on the existing wood or vinyl fence. Whether a post needs more than a repair is confirmed before work starts.
Note each problem by spot, with a photo of the rail, step, board or gate, and say if you own, rent or share it. A deck that feels soft or bouncy may be outside handyman scope. Then phone (407) 638-8956, or request service on the website.
