Why the post comes first
Fence and gate repair in Brigham City that starts at ground level
A gate that drags is almost always telling you about the post rather than the gate. That is where we look first, because it decides whether you need a repair or a rebuilt section.
Posts pushed and probed
Every post near the problem gets pushed at shoulder height and probed at the base before anything else is assessed.
Repairs matched to the fence
Damaged pickets and rails are swapped to match the existing fence, and section repairs are built to line up with what is already standing.
Gates that latch without lifting
Hinges, latches and gate hardware are set so the gate swings and latches without being lifted.
More about why homeowners choose To The T
Freeze and thaw through a Box Elder County winter works on exactly the joint where a post meets the ground, which is why fence problems tend to show up after a hard winter.
Fence repairs often ride along with other outdoor items on a list, like a soft trim board or a porch post that has gone at the base. Those are covered on Rot Repair in Brigham City and Punch List & Honey-Do Repairs in Brigham City.
What we repair
Fence post, picket and gate repairs for Box Elder and Weber County yards
Most fence problems come down to a few failures. A post has rocked loose in the ground. A run of pickets has weathered or snapped. Or a gate has dropped out of square and now drags or will not latch.
We reset or replace the post, swap the damaged pickets and rails to match, and re-hang the gate with solid hardware so it lines up and stays that way. The focus is repair and section work. If you need a whole new fence line, send a photo and we will tell you straight whether it fits what we do.
More about fence & gate repair
What the job can include:
- Loose or leaning posts reset or replaced
- Broken pickets and rails replaced
- Sagging gates squared and re-hung
- Hinges, latches and gate hardware
- Section repairs to match the existing fence
A dragging or dropped gate, loose rails or fasteners, and a few damaged pickets are repairs. Posts rotted at ground level, or a whole run leaning after wind, mean rebuilding that section.
Two things stay off the list. Anything to do with a deck, including deck railings, is outside our scope. So is a powered gate opener, since that is electrical work. We can square and re-hang the gate itself.
Fence work can ride along as one line on something bigger. It sits on the common-items list for a homeowner punch list, and it shows up on commercial maintenance lists next to door hardware and rot repair for buildings, where it gets grouped into the same trip as the rest of the list. See Commercial Property Maintenance in Brigham City for how those lists run.
Signs a fence needs work
Signs your fence or gate needs repair
Fences fail from the ground up, so the most useful check is at the base of the posts, not anywhere you can see damage from the house.
- A gate has started dragging, or you have to lift it to latch it
- A post moves when you push it at shoulder height
- The base of a post is soft, dark or crumbling at ground level
- A run has started leaning after wind, especially in one direction
- Rails have pulled loose or pickets are separating at the fasteners

More signs to watch for
A moving post is the one that decides between a repair and a rebuild of that section. Checking it takes a minute, and it is worth doing before spending anything on new gate hardware, because new hinges on a failing post just sag again.
If only a couple of pickets are gone and the posts are solid, that is the smallest version of the job. If posts along the run have started to go at ground level, fixing pickets first spends money on a section that will need rebuilding anyway, so we will say that before you book.
How a fence repair runs
The To The T fence and gate repair process
- Step : 01
Send photos
Show the gate or the run, and include the base of the nearest posts. You get a ballpark from that.
- Step : 02
Check the posts
Posts get pushed and probed at ground level before anything else, since that is where repair versus rebuild is decided.
- Step : 03
Repair or quote the section
Sound posts mean bracing, refastening and re-hanging. A failed post means that section is quoted as a rebuild rather than a repair.
- Step : 04
Set the gate and walk the run
Gate hardware is set so it swings and latches without lifting, and the rest of the run is checked so the next weak post gets flagged early.
Real reviews
What customers say on Google
While Tyler was looking at my house he was professional, honest and upfront. During his initial consultation he quickly fixed my doorbell. Since then I gave him the key to my house and he worked on several of my projects that consist of Garage opener maintenance, installation of a new door, install of door locks and various items that I could not tackle.
Tyler is a great handyman. I had some trouble with my dishwasher not sitting right, which led to lots of trouble while loading/unloading it. He came in and within a few minutes knew what the problem was and exactly how to fix it. He's a very trustworthy and kind guy. I'd trust him to work at my house while I was away if I had a bigger project. 5 stars!
Tyler fixed the lock on my front door. He fixed the reclining gear on my couch. He changed out my dryer and was able to quickly identify and solve the electrical head not matching. Willing to trust that he could solve most any challenge encountered or quickly identify a solve in a home. Also, have confidence with his abilities as well as with vehicles.
Tyler has done a couple of different things for me. He is professional and does research to make certain he knows exactly what needs to be done to do the job correctly. I am finally confident that after four years and two prior repairs that my skylights will no longer leak. Plus he said if they do he will come back and fix them.
Tyler replaced a rotten wood bearing column on our front porch. He did a good job and was willing to explain what he was doing during and before the process. I appreciate the extra care he took in making sure the porch was level and the new post was secure. He did a really great job for us!
FAQs
Fence & Gate Repair in Brigham City: frequently asked questions
My gate will not latch. Is that a big fix in Box Elder or Weber County?
Usually not. A dragging or non-latching gate is often a hinge, a square-up and fresh hardware, which is a common one-visit repair, as long as the post holding it is sound.
Can you reset a leaning fence post in Brigham City?
Yes. A post that has rocked loose gets reset or replaced so the run stands straight again. If it has rotted at ground level, that section is a rebuild.
Can you match the existing pickets on my fence in Weber County?
That is the aim on every repair. Damaged pickets and rails get swapped to match what is already standing, and section repairs are built to line up with the rest of the run. Send a close photo of a good picket so we can see the profile.
Do you build new fences in Box Elder and Weber counties?
We focus on repair and sections. Send a photo of the job and we will tell you what fits.
Can you fix or install an electric gate opener in Weber County?
No. Gate openers are electrical, which we do not do. We can repair and re-hang the gate itself so it swings true for whoever handles the opener.
Do you build or repair decks around Brigham City and Ogden?
No. Decks, decking and deck railings are outside our scope entirely, and we say so before booking.
Can a fence repair go on the same visit as other jobs at my Brigham City house?
Yes, and it usually should. Fence and gate repair is one of the common punch list items, so a loose post can share a trip with a sticking door or a drywall patch inside.
Is there a minimum for a small fence or gate repair in Box Elder or Weber County?
There is. A job under two hours carries a minimum, and we confirm it before you book. We do not publish a figure, so a gate fix pairs well with other outdoor items on a list.
Are you licensed for fence repair in Utah?
We hold a full Utah general contractor license: License No: 13021266-5501 (held by Precision Cut Construction LLC). Anyone can check it on Utah DOPL's public licensee lookup.
