Is This Service Right for Your Project?

This service is a good fit if you need a gate adjusted, hinges replaced, a latch repaired, loose boards secured, or a small section of fence repaired.

What We Repair

Handy Ivan helps with common gate & fence repair projects, including:

Sagging Gate Repair
Gates often sag because of loose hinges, worn hardware, post movement, or everyday use. Handy Ivan can review the existing condition and provide practical repairs when the gate and post structure are suitable.
Hinges, Latches & Hardware
Replacing or adjusting gate hinges, latches, handles, and basic hardware can improve daily use and security. Customer-supplied hardware can often be installed when it fits the existing gate and mounting surface.
Minor Fence Board & Reinforcement Repairs
Small fence repairs may include replacing loose boards, securing damaged pickets, adding minor reinforcement, or correcting simple issues that affect appearance or function.
