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 Lake Mary: North of Orlando in Seminole County, Lake Mary is a suburban city built up along the I-4 corridor and Lake Mary Boulevard. Single-family homes lead the housing mix, alongside apartments and condominiums, and named lakes such as Big Lake Mary sit inside the city.
A gate that drags, drops or will not latch is the usual fence call, and in Lake Mary it comes from two kinds of owner: people living in their homes, the majority of occupied homes by Census estimates, and landlords of the sizable share that are rented. Where a pool sits inside the fence, the gate is the repair to look at first, because hinges, latch and alignment decide whether it swings shut and catches on its own.
Gate work starts with hinges, latch and alignment. A sagging wood or vinyl gate is re-hung and its hinges tightened or replaced, a gate that drags is adjusted until it clears the ground and meets the latch, and a worn latch is swapped for new hardware. Fence work covers split boards, leaning panels and posts that move when pushed, and deck work covers split boards, stair treads and railings. Metal fences, new construction and full replacements are outside this service.
Note which gate or fence section is affected, whether it is wood or vinyl, what it does, and whether a pool is behind it. Pool barrier rules vary, so check with your local building department or HOA about what applies to yours. Landlords planning ahead can read our hurricane checklist for Orlando rental properties. Call (407) 638-8956 or request service online, and mention a monthly or quarterly plan if you manage several properties.
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.
Yes, for wood and vinyl gates: hinges, alignment and latch hardware are repaired or replaced on the existing gate. Pool barrier requirements differ by property, so ask your local building department or HOA what applies. The repair makes no claim of meeting any standard, and metal pool fencing is outside this service.
Yes, a landlord can request it. A real share of occupied homes in Lake Mary are rented, so landlords and property managers are a real part of the picture. Have the address, the affected gate or fence section and a short description of the problem ready when you call (407) 638-8956 or request service online.
A post that moves when pushed or a panel that leans after heavy rain is often a repair, such as a loose post, a rail or a few boards. Full fence replacement is not part of this service. What can be repaired is judged during the visit.
