A leaning post or a broken panel doesn't mean you need a new fence. Microworks repairs posts, panels, rails, and gates across North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, and the rest of Metro Vancouver. Priced before we arrive, usually done in one visit.
Answered in under 10 seconds. No forms, no chatbots.
Most fence calls come down to one or two problems: a post gone soft at ground level, a panel that took a hit in a windstorm, or a gate that's dropped out of square. Those often call for targeted repairs, not replacements and they're exactly the size of job we're built for.
These are the fence and gate repairs Metro Vancouver homeowners call us for most. Most are usually handled in a single visit.
Posts fail at ground level first, where moisture sits. We replace the failed post, reset it properly, and reattach the panels on either side so the line stays straight.
Windstorms, falling branches, and plain age take out panels one at a time. We replace the damaged section and match the existing boards as closely as the material allows.
A gate that drags, won't latch, or has dropped out of square usually needs its hinges, post, or bracing sorted; not a new gate. We fix the cause.
After a windstorm, we handle the structural fixes: re-securing leaning sections, replacing snapped boards, and making the fence safe again.
Cedar lasts, but horizontal rails and bottom boards hold water. We cut out the rot and replace the damaged sections with suitable exterior-grade material.
Re-staining protects the wood and resets the look. We prep, clean, and apply a finish suited to the exposure.
Rain is the main culprit here. Water collects where posts meet the ground and where horizontal rails sit flat, and over a few wet seasons, the trapped moisture can lead to rot. By the time a fence starts to lean, the damage is usually at the base, not where you can see it. That's why a fence that looks fine from the street can come down in a single windstorm.
We check the posts first on every fence call. Replacing panels on a failing post line leaves the underlying problem unresolved.
We price the labour before we arrive, so you know what the visit costs when you book it not after.
Call and describe the fence: how many posts or panels, whether a gate's involved, and roughly how old it is. Photos help. Five minutes on the phone is usually enough.
Your Service Advisor fits the work into a Half Day or Full Day Block and sets the date on the same call. The labour price is fixed at that point. No site visit needed.
A Microworks technician arrives in a van carrying 100+ tools and works through the fence list in order.
We walk you through the finished repair, tidy the work area, and settle the balance on site. Materials are the only variable.
Fence work looks simple until a post won't come out or the new panel sticks out from the existing fence. With Microworks, you get:
Posts assessed before panels are replaced
Flat-rate labour, confirmed before booking
Exterior-grade, weather-rated materials
Gates rehung square and latching properly
One technician, with most repairs completed in one visit, no subtrades
Work area cleaned before we leave
Microworks knocked out a list of small repairs in one visit door that didn’t close, loose railing, and a few drywall patches. All the stuff we’d been ignoring for months. Super easy to deal with and very tidy.

We’d been putting off mounting the TV and installing blinds because we didn’t want to mess up the walls. They handled the TV, two bedroom blinds, and a grab bar in one appointment. Worth every dollar for the peace of mind.

We had water damage on one wall and a couple of cracked tiles in the kitchen. Microworks repaired everything so cleanly that our painter asked who did the prep work. That says a lot.

I booked them for “just a bit of carpentry” some trim fixes and a loose step. The difference it made to how the house feels is huge. On time, respectful, and clear about what they could and couldn’t do.

I really liked that they didn’t try to turn my small requests into a big renovation. I got a straightforward estimate, they did exactly what we discussed, and everything was cleaned up before they left. I’ve already recommended them to two neighbours.

Not every fence is worth repairing, and we'll tell you when yours isn't.
One or two failed posts in an otherwise solid line
Panels damaged by impact or a single storm
A gate that's dropped, drags, or won't latch
Surface weathering that staining will fix
Rot confined to rails or bottom boards
Most posts are soft at ground level
Rot running through several panels
A fence that's been patched repeatedly
Structural lean along the whole run
If your fence appears to need a full replacement, we'll explain the limits of what we can handle on the call before booking a Block.
One failed post or a broken panel drags down the look of the whole yard. Here's what a targeted repair does.
We're built for the repair work most fence companies don't want the one-post, one-panel, one-gate jobs.
We work across the North Shore and Metro Vancouver every day, and we know what the rain here does to a cedar fence.
Labour price is fixed when you book. No callout fee, no hourly meter, or separate quote visit to sit through.
Exterior-grade fasteners and suitable exterior-grade materials, backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Fence repairs fail early when the wrong fastener or untreated lumber goes in. We use materials rated for wet coastal exposure.
Microworks repairs fences and gates for homeowners across North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Port Moody. Your Service Advisor will confirm which post, panel, and gate repairs fit into your Block. We clean before we leave.
Yes, that's most of what we do. We replace the damaged posts or panels and leave the rest of the fence alone.
No. We price the labour over the phone and book the date on the same call. Describe the damage, send a photo if you have one, and we'll match it to a Block.
Usually, yes. A gate that drags or won't latch usually has a problem with the hinge, post, or bracing rather than the gate itself.
We match species and profile as closely as the material allows. New cedar is often lighter than older boards and weathers in over time. Staining can help blend the colour sooner.
We handle sections and gates rather than full tear-outs. If your fence needs replacing end to end, we'll tell you on the call.
Yes. Storm damage is one of the most common fence calls we get, and many repairs can be handled in a single Block.
One call. A person who knows handyman work, prices it on the spot, and puts a technician on your calendar. No forms, no chatbot.
