Fences and Gates
Fence repair, new fence, and gates that latch — priced in writing before we start.
Geoff's Fix It builds and repairs wood fence and gates in Springfield and the towns around it. Privacy, shadowbox and horizontal board, on wood or steel posts set in concrete.
Repairs, priced by the job
A gate that drags, a post that has given up, a run of loose pickets — those are repairs, and we price them like repairs. Every visit has a $130 minimum that covers the first hour of labor. Materials are billed separately.
The prices below are rough starting figures, not a promise. Send photos and we'll narrow it down; if the job needs a look in person, we'll come out. Either way you get a firm number in writing before any work starts.
Fences and gates
- Fence post removal and replacement — about $300 per cemented post
- Gate assembled and hung, with hardware — about $210 per gate door
- Gate rehanging and adjustment for gates that drag, sag or won't latch
- Rail, picket and panel replacement on privacy and shadowbox fence
These assume standard residential conditions; the final quote depends on scope, site and materials. The full list is on our Pricing page. Mailbox posts and porch columns are on our Posts, Mailboxes and Columns page, and deck work is on our Decks page.
When a repair isn't the right answer
We'll say so. If most of a fence's posts have rotted off at the ground, resetting them one at a time costs more than a new run. When that's what we find, we'll show you what we're seeing and quote the rebuild.
New fence and gates
Privacy, shadowbox and horizontal-board fence on wood or steel posts set in concrete, with three rails and pickets cut level along the top. On every build:
- Posts set in concrete, string-lined and plumbed before anything else goes on.
- Gates built on adjustable steel frames, or fabricated to fit — single walk gates and double drive gates.
- Hardware that holds up: coated or stainless fasteners, with self-closing hinges and latches where you want them.
- Staining scheduled as its own visit, once the new wood has dried enough to hold it.
Fence pricing is driven by post count and footage. Send a photo of the run and a rough length and we can get close before anyone comes out.
