right now.

It's only about 6 feet to replace. It just needs a post, a couple of 2X4's, and about 15 boards.

The problem is I don't really have the equipment to dig a hole for a post and don't want to deal with the concrete and all that crap. Way easier to just get a fence company or handyman to come out and do it for a few hundred dollars.

The problem is none of the big companies want to take a small job and most have a minimum amount they will charge which is more than the job itself. Someone who will actually take the job for a decent price will get a much bigger job in the future as the whole fence will need replacing at some point.
