01the possibilities
A fence and gate that stay solid and square
A solid fence and a gate that swings true give you privacy, a clear property line and a yard that looks finished. When something does go, it is usually the gate rather than the fence itself, since gates carry the weight and take all the movement, and in the wetter parts of the service area the posts are often the first to go where they meet the ground. We look at what has actually failed and repair that, rather than quoting a whole new fence line by default.
We build and repair wood fencing, including the gates that usually fail first. That covers new privacy fence, replacing sections that have rotted or leaned, and building wide rolling gates for driveways and side yards.
02what you get
What Fences and Gates Typically Involve
- New privacy fence, or repair of what is leaning
- Wide rolling gates for driveways
- Wood fence repair and section replacement
Free estimate, detailed and in writing before anything starts.
Our Fences and Gates Process
-
Tell us about the fence
Send the form or call and tell Amanda whether it is a new fence, a repair or a gate. We get back to you within 24 hours.
-
Kevin walks the line
Kevin checks the posts and the gates in person, then sends a detailed estimate. If the panels are sound, he prices what has actually failed rather than a whole new fence.
-
Posts first
Kevin and Lil Kevin set and anchor the posts for the ground they are going into, because the posts are what fail first, then hang the panels and the gates.
-
Walk it together
We walk the finished line with you, gates included, before we call the job done.
Fences and Gates Pricing in Tallahassee
Every job is different. We offer free, no-obligation estimates so you know the price before any work starts.
03 no surprises
A change order you approved is not a surprise
Older homes turn up the most, but even a newer one can hide something nobody could see at the estimate. That possibility is written into our estimates and proposals, and you sign it before anything starts. So when something does come up, the work stops, Kevin walks you through it, and it becomes a change order you approve, rather than something you find out about afterwards.
- it was disclosed before you signed
- the work stops
- Kevin talks it through with you
- you approve the change order
You decide before it goes ahead
They gave us a detailed quote and kept us informed every step of the way. There were no surprises from them for hidden costs or additional fees. Everything was extremely transparent.

It is clear that Kevin knows what he is doing. It is great to also see a father working with his son to teach him the trade!

Fences and Gates Questions, Answered
General
What takes a fence down fastest around here?
Root heave under the posts and constant damp where the wood meets the ground. Kevin sets and anchors the posts for the conditions, because the posts are what fail first, not the panels.
Can you repair part of a fence instead of the whole line?
Yes. If the panels are sound and it is the gate or a run of posts that has gone, Kevin replaces what has actually failed rather than quoting a whole new fence by default.
Does the owner actually do the work?
Yes. Kevin is on every job. His son Lil Kevin works alongside him, and the person who prices your project is the person who builds it. There is no sales rep handing your job to a crew you have never met.
How big is your crew?
Three of us, and that is the whole company. Kevin and his son Lil Kevin are the two on site, and Amanda handles every call and inquiry. The two of them get through what a crew of four would.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
No, Lumber Lunatics works on homes rather than commercial buildings.
Pricing
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Kevin comes out and looks at the job with you and talks through the options. He does not price it on the spot, because materials and labor have to be worked out properly, so the detailed estimate comes to you afterwards. There is no charge and no obligation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, check, zelle, and credit cards.
Trust
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on every project, with the specific terms spelled out in your written proposal before the work begins.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
If your project needs major plumbing or electrical work, Kevin will tell you so and recommend you bring in a licensed plumber or electrician. He is not licensed for that work and he is not going to pretend otherwise. You will hear that at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, Lumber Lunatics is insured on every project.
How far out are you booking?
Scheduling varies based on the scope of your project and our current workload. We will provide our current availability when we discuss your project.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend area, roughly an hour out. That includes Crawfordville, Quincy, Havana, Monticello, Midway, Blountstown, and Sneads. If you are near the edge of that, just ask.
