Frequently asked questions

Does the NailIt estimate include labor costs?

No. NailIt is designed for DIY homeowners and calculates materials only. You're doing the work yourself, so you only pay for lumber, fasteners, hardware, and supplies.

What factors affect the total materials cost?

Cost depends on fence length, damage severity, wood type (pressure-treated vs. cedar), gate size, and hardware quality. Minor repairs may cost $150–$300; full sections or multiple gates can exceed $600.

Should I buy extra materials?

Yes. Plan to buy 10–15% extra lumber and fasteners for waste, mistakes, and future touch-ups. Your NailIt estimate can help you account for this buffer.
