Texas sun, storms, soil movement, and daily use are hard on outdoor structures. We assess the visible condition and make practical repairs that bring decks, fences, and gates back toward safe, solid use.
A loose picket may be simple, while repeated movement can point to a post, rail, fastener, or framing issue. We look at the surrounding condition so the proposed repair addresses what is actually failing.
Repair versus replace
When a focused repair can restore useful life, we will say so. When deterioration is widespread or the supporting structure is compromised, we will explain why broader work may be the more responsible choice.
Match materials where practical
New exterior wood will not immediately look identical to material that has weathered for years. We work toward a clean, compatible repair and set expectations about appearance, finish, and how new material will age.
Frequently asked
Can you replace only the damaged fence boards?
Yes, when the rails and posts are still sound. We assess the supporting parts before recommending a focused board or picket repair.
Can you fix a gate that drags or will not latch?
Often. The cause may be hinges, hardware, alignment, movement, or a damaged post. We identify the likely cause before choosing the repair.
Do you repair deck framing?
We handle deck and porch repairs within an appropriate scope. If the condition calls for engineering, permitting, or a different specialist, we will explain that after inspection.
Can staining or painting be part of the project?
Yes, when the surface is in suitable condition and has had the preparation and drying time the selected finish requires.

Handy Hippie - Quality Workmanship, Fair Pricing, and People Who Truly Care
As we prepared to move into our new home, we had a long list of projects that needed to be completed, and Handy Hippie absolutely delivered.
Their team helped us install 17 window blinds throughout the house, mount and align multiple bathroom mirrors, install cabinet hardware, upgrade cabinet doors with soft-close hinges, and install bathroom accessories including towel bars, towel rings, and toilet paper holders. Every project was completed with exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship.
What stood out most was the quality of their work. They took the time to make sure everything was aligned correctly, installed properly, and finished to a high standard. Nothing felt rushed. They treated our home with care and approached every job, large or small, with professionalism and pride.
Their pricing was very competitive, communication was excellent, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. After seeing the quality of their workmanship and the way they conducted themselves, I knew I had found a team I could trust.
That trust became even more important just days before our move-in date when we experienced an unexpected kitchen sink issue that had been caused by the silicone around a newly installed sink becoming disconnected during a cleaning. The sink, garbage disposal, and plumbing had been installed by someone else, but I immediately reached out to Handy Hippie because of the confidence they had already earned through their previous work.
Without hesitation, they stepped in, addressed the issue, and helped us get everything back in order at a critical time. When you're preparing to move into a new home, that kind of support means a lot and is something you don't forget.
Beyond their skill and craftsmanship, the entire Handy Hippie team was simply a pleasure to work with. Honest, dependable, professional, and genuinely focused on helping their customers.
To the Handy Hippie team, thank you for your hard work, attention to detail, fair pricing, and for being there when we needed help the most. We are extremely happy with the results and grateful for the support you provided during our move.
I would confidently recommend Handy Hippie to friends, family, and neighbors. If you're looking for quality workmanship backed by people who truly care, look no further. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
