Frequently asked questions about Fence Installation & Repair Services

The price for fence repairs starts at $45 per hour in Philadelphia. You can expect minor repairs, such as replacing a broken picket or two, to take up to a half day. Moderate repairs, such as replacing several damaged sections, can take up to a full day. Major repairs replacing entire sections from storms or an accident take several days to complete.

Check with your Tasker before the job to determine what experience they have, but many Taskers are happy to install wooden, vinyl or chain-link fences.

Chain-link fencing is one of the most affordable options. Basic wooden fencing is also relatively affordable, especially if you do some of the work yourself. While vinyl fencing requires a larger upfront cost compared to wood or chain-link fencing, it requires minimal long-term maintenance.

Yes, you can fix a rotting fence simply by removing the damaged sections and replacing the rotted boards and posts. Don't forget to treat the repaired wood to prevent further damage. To prevent future rot, regularly inspect your fence and repair any issues promptly.

The most challenging aspect of installing a fence can vary depending on the project. Properly setting the posts is crucial for long-term fence stability. Complex designs can also add difficulty to fence installation. Other factors, such as ease of access to the site and making sure the fence follows property lines, can further complicate the job.

  • Norma dabney R.Carlyle did a wonderful job and — with the time he had left over after quickly fixing our toilet, he even adjusted our central air conditioning. I will definitely use him again and again!Fence installation
  • Kristina L.Timely, professional and reliable. Would hire again! Fence installation
  • Sung W.Punctual, clean, fixed our ceiling very quickly. I wish I found him a lot sooner!Fence installation
  • Maralin B.Adam Aziz kept in touch, arrived on time, was kind and very conscientious about putting in our 2 window air conditioners. He made sure they were secure and checked our filters (one was awful) to make sure they would run efficiently. We had no idea exactly how the units had been securely installed over the years (there were some missing parts; I think our previous seasonal installers had improvised in securing the units but we were no help) but Adam didn't give up and was very professional. I think on new units with all the correct hardware it would have gone more smoothly and quickly, but we had not paid enough attention in recent years to give him any help. Thanks Adam.Fence installation
  • Caitlin K.Trevor did a great job and was very flexible to my schedule. No issues! Fence installation
  • Chelsea J.This was my first time using a TaskRabbit service, and I had a good experience. Adam was nice, respectful, and informative. He did a decent job installing my air conditioning unit and really helped me out during a heatwave! He also removed my other AC unit and placed it on the porch for me. The only thing I wish I hadn’t assumed was that he would have all the tools necessary to install or modify an AC unit for a row home. He made do with what we both had, but there are still a few things I need to take care of myself. It's not a big issue since I'm used to handling adjustments with my AC because of the window setup. Ultimately, I'm just happy to have cool air during this hot weather!Fence installation
