Looking for professional gate repair in Colorado Springs? Jeremy's Fences/Decks/Handyman, LLC builds sturdy, wind-resilient fencing engineered for Front Range Chinook gusts, expansive clay soil, and high-altitude UV exposure.

Engineered for Front Range wind loads and Colorado freeze-thaw cycles.
What Our Gate Repair Includes
We never take shortcuts with post depth or fasteners. Every project includes complete professional execution from utility locate coordination through final cleanup.
Why Standard Fences Fail in Colorado Springs
Property owners across Colorado Springs, Fountain, and Falcon face unique climatic stresses: sudden 70-80 mph downslope Chinook winds, severe frost heave in winter, and bentonite clay that heaves unanchored posts out of plumb. Our specialized gate repair prevents leaning sections, loose pickets, and sagging gates through engineered depth and superior fastening.
Footing Depth: Minimum 24 inches (below 20" frost line).
Fasteners: Ceramic exterior screws (no nails to work loose).
Concrete: ~100 lbs per post for lateral wind resistance.
Our Step-by-Step Craftsmanship Process
1. Mechanical Alignment Diagnostic
Checking hinge post plumb, frame squareness, hinge pin deflection, and latch strike clearance.
2. Post Stabilization / Reset
Realigning or replacing leaning hinge posts with deeper footings if subterranean shifting occurred.
3. Frame Re-squaring & Gusseting
Pulling racked rectangular frames back into 90-degree square using steel turnbuckle truss kits.
4. Hardware Overhaul & Upgrade
Replacing stripped lag screws with through-bolts, and upgrading to commercial adjustable strap hinges.
5. Latch Realignment & Strike Adjustment
Shimming and tuning striker plates to ensure positive self-latching without lifting.
6. Full Swing Cycle Test & Lubrication
Cycling gate 20 times and lubricating hinge pins with high-performance white lithium grease.
Cost Factors
The cost of gate repair in Colorado Springs depends on overall linear footage, ground slope, soil rockiness (especially on the granite west side near Manitou Springs), post material choices, and custom gate widths. Standard wood privacy fences generally range between $26 and $42 per linear foot installed, while specialty ranch rails, metal posts, or custom shadowbox styles reflect lumber grade and post depth specifications.
PPRBD & Local Permits
Gate repairs are classified as routine property maintenance and do not require PPRBD permits. If the gate encloses a swimming pool, all repairs must restore compliance with ISPSC pool safety standards (self-closing, self-latching from any open angle, 54-inch latch height). Fully registered under Colorado SOS #20191360619.
The Veteran Standard
Don't let a dragging, stuck gate ruin your day. While other contractors tell you 'you need a whole new fence,' Jeremy's Fences diagnoses the exact mechanical failure. We rebuild gate frames, reinforce hinge posts, and upgrade hardware to deliver smooth, one-finger latching operability.

“I have so many positive things to say about Jeremy's fence Company. I wish I could give more than five stars because I would. From the first phone call the customer service was beyond excellent. Communication is important for me and I was communicated with timely and consistently during the entire process. I am so happy with my fence. The quality of work is beyond what I have seen from other companies. My fence is in my front yard so I wanted to make sure that it looked really good. Jeremy was very patient listening to my needs and answering all of my questions prior to building the fence and as things came up during the build. All of the guys, Josh, Tyler, and Caleb were a pleasure to have around. There was even one morning when we had to rescue and find a home owner of a dog that got loose on my street. Everybody participated and we found the dog's owner. Not only do I 100% recommend Jeremy's company to build your fence, I believe you will actually enjoy having them around while they are building it.
