What should I do this week if the gate is hanging off?

Ask the tenant to keep the gate closed and avoid leaning on it. Schedule a dry-weather window, since Tulsa averages about 3.78 inches of rain in October and rain can delay outdoor welding. Tulsa property-maintenance rules require fences and walls to be kept structurally sound, so a landlord is responsible for a broken post or hanging gate.

What should I check when hiring a welder?

Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. Oklahoma licenses welders through its Welder Licensing Program and the Welder Certification License Application, so verify the welder's licence status with the state. Request a written quote that prices the specific damage, since fence costs vary by height, material, gates and upgrades.

How much does a typical post repair cost in Tulsa-area?

A typical Tulsa fence repair averages about $250, with most homeowners paying $200 to $300. Replacing posts or panels can cost $250 to $750, and more structural post work can reach $400 to $550 or more. Travel can add to the total.

Do I need a permit for a post repair?

Permits are typically required for new fence construction, and Tulsa fences over 7 feet need a building permit. Inside Tulsa city limits, the City of Tulsa Development Services department issues permits Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Confirm with the pro whether your repair needs one.
