About This Service
Fences in Tampa Bay face constant challenges from Florida’s heat, humidity, wind, and seasonal storms. Wood rot, leaning posts, broken boards, and gates that won’t latch are all common. Highmark’s handymen repair and maintain fences throughout Tampa Bay, extending their life and keeping your property secure and looking its best.
Wood Fence Repair
Wood fences are the most popular style in Tampa Bay and the most susceptible to Florida’s climate.
Fence Board Replacement — Cracked, split, or rotted fence boards removed and replaced with pressure-treated pine or cedar boards matched to the existing fence style.
