Boston’s coastal climate, historic neighborhoods, and tight property lines create a perfect storm for fence wear. Heavy snowfall, salt-rich Nor’easters, and wide temperature swings can split boards, tilt posts, and weaken fasteners faster than in most U.S. cities. Homeowners often delay repairs because they fear hidden costs and drawn-out timelines. CountBricks removes that uncertainty by generating a voice-driven estimate on site, pulling live cost data for lumber, hardware, and labor so you know the exact price of your fence repair before we unload a single tool.
• Rotting or split cedar pickets caused by trapped moisture
• Heaved posts from freeze-thaw cycles in clay soil
• Rusted fasteners and brackets on older pressure-treated sections
• Wind-damaged privacy panels after coastal storms
• Sagging gates that no longer latch securely
1. Our field technician starts a secure voice session on the CountBricks mobile app.
2. You outline what you see—loose post, broken panel, leaning gate—while we capture measurements by laser or blueprint scan.
3. The CountBricks engine compares material takeoff data with live supplier pricing in the Greater Boston area.
4. Labor hours are calculated using regional union and non-union averages, adjusted for site access and disposal fees.
5. You receive a detailed line-item estimate and optional upgrades (stain, hardware, gate automation) in under five minutes.
6. Approve on the spot and we lock your material costs so there are no mid-project surprises.
• Premium cedar pickets for historic row houses in Beacon Hill
• ACQ-treated pine for budget-friendly backyard perimeters
• Black vinyl-coated chain link for pet runs in Somerville
• Powder-coated aluminum for coastal corrosion resistance in Winthrop
• Composite boards for low-maintenance modern builds in Seaport District
Because CountBricks taps live inventories, we show you what is actually in stock at the nearest yard—no waiting three weeks for special orders unless you choose to.
• Permit fees: Many neighborhoods require a simple repair permit; CountBricks files paperwork electronically with local building departments.
• Demolition & disposal: Older fences often contain lead paint or creosote; disposal costs are calculated in real time to meet state regulations.
• Soil conditions: South End brownstones may have shallow utilities; we include hand-digging premiums when augers aren’t allowed.
• Winter premiums: Ground frost can add labor hours between December and March; by knowing the forecast our AI suggests the ideal work window and potential cost savings.
Transparent Pricing: Our AI pulls live supplier rates every 60 seconds, so lumber hikes never become your surprise change order.
Speed: Voice-to-estimate means quotes in minutes, not days. Most fence repairs are scheduled within 48 hours.
One-Click Documentation: You receive a detailed scope, 3D mock-up, and warranty certificate through your CountBricks dashboard.
Skilled Craftsmanship: CountBricks crews are vetted carpenters who specialize in residential exteriors—we never subcontract critical structural repairs.

The owner of a 1905 triple-decker in South Boston noticed her backyard fence leaning after a brutal winter. She opened the CountBricks app, described the issue, and our AI calculated that three posts and twelve pickets needed replacement. Within four minutes she received a $2,180 quote, locked to live lumber costs.
• Permit secured online with Inspectional Services in under 24 hours
• Old ACQ-treated lumber hauled to a certified recycling center, cost pre-approved in the initial estimate
• New 4x4 cedar posts set 48" deep to exceed frost requirements
• Stainless steel hardware upgraded for salt-spray resistance
The entire repair took one workday, and the tenant patio was usable by sunset. Our post-project drone scan confirmed plumb alignment, and the owner downloaded her warranty certificate directly from CountBricks.com/portfolio. She later added a gate automation upgrade—again priced in real time without a second site visit.
• Schedule repairs before mid-November to avoid frost-related labor premiums
• Opt for kiln-dried cedar if your yard lacks drainage—less shrinkage means tighter joints
• Ask CountBricks to preset posts to deck-railing height if you plan future outdoor seating
