$150-$800
Minor to moderate repairs, from a single board to resetting posts. Final price is set in your free written quote.
The number of posts or boards needing attention, and whether a post needs to be reset below the frost line, are what mainly drive the price – a single loose board costs a lot less than resetting a leaning post.
We repair the section that failed rather than the whole fence: replacing damaged boards, re-hanging gates and fixing hinges and latches. A leaning post is reset below the frost line, so frost heave doesn’t tilt it again next winter.
A leaning post, a sagging or hard-to-latch gate, loose or missing boards, or a post that visibly shifted after last winter's frost heave are the most common calls we get.
Ottawa's ground freezes deep enough that frost heave is a real and common cause of fence posts tilting or lifting over winter – it's mechanical, not a sign of rot, and it's fixable by resetting the post correctly.
Most fence calls are a handful of damaged boards or one problem post, not the whole fence – we replace what's actually broken rather than pushing a full rebuild.
A gate gets used and slammed far more than the rest of the fence, so hinges and latches are usually the first thing to fail – and usually the cheapest to fix.
Every job gets a quote in writing before we start – no verbal estimates that change later.

Yes – we regularly repair a few boards, a leaning post, or a gate without touching the rest of the fence.
Frost heave is the most common cause in Ottawa – the ground freezing and shifting around the post base. Resetting it below the frost line is the fix.
