A leaning fence or a soft deck board doesn't fix itself — on the Peninsula it usually gets worse fast. But most of the time the fix is two or three posts or a few boards, not the whole structure. Wood fence, gate, and deck repair across Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View, and the surrounding Peninsula towns — done by the independent local contractor assigned to your area.

How it works

Send photos of the damage through the form — the post at ground level, the full fence line, the gate that won't close. The contractor for your area replies with the likely repair and a ballpark before anyone drives out. No pressure. If the photos show it's beyond repair, the contractor will say so.

What gets repaired

Towns covered

Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley, Redwood City, East Palo Alto. Each city has its own fence rules — heights, setbacks, and permit requirements differ more than most homeowners expect. See your city's page for the specifics before planning any work.

Ballparks from photos are preliminary — the contractor sets a final price after an on-site look. Rules cited on this site come from city codes and can change; verify with your city's Planning Department before major work.

Repair or Replace?

Can it be repaired? Often, yes — and it costs a fraction of replacement.

Usually repairable

  • Broken or missing boards
  • Sagging gate
