The Handy Swan — Chico, CA handyman

Fence Installation and Repair Across Greater Chico

Standard wood, ornamental, gates, repairs after wind or time.

A solid fence is your property line, your dog's world, and your weekend privacy. We install standard wood fencing, ornamental fencing, and gates — plus repair the post-, panel-, and storm-damage jobs that stacked up after the last few Butte County winters.

Since we're already on site with saws and post-setting gear, homeowners frequently add a decks quote to the same visit.

Frequently asked

What can you do?

  • Standard wood fencing (cedar, redwood, pressure-treated)
  • Ornamental fencing and decorative tops
  • Gate builds and gate repair
  • Post replacement (set in concrete)
  • Panel replacement after wind or impact
  • Lean correction and tension repair

How long does a new fence last in Chico's climate?

Pressure-treated cedar or redwood with posts set in concrete typically holds 15–25 years. The biggest killer is post rot at the ground line, which we address during install.

Do I need a permit for a new fence in Chico?

Most residential fences under 6 feet in the side/back yard don't require a permit in Chico city limits. Fences over 6 feet or in front-yard setbacks do. We can confirm for your property.

Can you match a neighbor's existing fence?

Yes — send us a photo and we'll match board width, height, and style so it looks like one continuous run.
