What Is Included
Gate and post diagnosis to identify the root cause of the failure
Fence post inspection for rot, lean, or failed concrete footing
Hinge tightening, re-anchoring with longer fasteners, or full hinge replacement
Diagonal tension rod or brace installation for gates with corner-to-corner sag
Latch strike plate realignment and adjustment for proper engagement
Optional spring hinge installation for self-closing function
When to Call
Gate that no longer swings freely -- dragging on the ground or binding at the frame
Latch that will not engage -- gate swings open on its own
Gate visibly sagging from the hinge side to the latch side
Hinges with screws that have stripped out of the post -- repeated re-tightening has not helped
Leaning fence post that the gate is mounted to -- post repair is needed first
What Affects the Cost
Every job is different. Here is what determines the cost:
Hinge repair versus hinge replacement versus adding a diagonal brace
Fence post condition -- a leaning or rotted post requires additional repair beyond the gate itself
Gate material -- wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link each require different hardware
Whether a lock, self-closing hinge, or security latch is being added at the same time
