Professional Pallet Repair
Expert repair services that extend pallet life by 5-10 years. Save up to 70% compared to buying new pallets.
Why Repair Instead of Replace?
Pallet repair is one of the most cost-effective and environmentally responsible decisions a business can make. The average wooden pallet has a lifespan of 10-15 years when properly maintained, yet many businesses discard pallets after just 2-3 uses due to minor damage. Our professional repair services breathe new life into damaged pallets, extending their useful life while saving you substantial money.
Consider the economics: a new GMA pallet costs $12-$18, while repairing that same pallet typically costs just $3-$6. That's a 50-70% cost savings. For businesses using thousands of pallets, these savings add up quickly to tens of thousands of dollars annually. Beyond direct cost savings, repairs reduce your purchasing needs, stabilize inventory, and minimize the operational disruptions caused by pallet shortages.
Environmental benefits are equally compelling. The pallet industry is a major consumer of hardwood lumber. By repairing pallets instead of replacing them, we reduce demand for virgin timber, conserve forest resources, and decrease the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing new pallets. Every repaired pallet represents 15-20 pounds of wood saved from processing plants and potentially from landfills.
Our repair facility employs skilled craftsmen with decades of combined experience in pallet construction and repair. We understand pallet engineering, load-bearing requirements, and industry standards. Every repair meets or exceeds NWPCA (National Wooden Pallet and Container Association) guidelines. Repaired pallets are as structurally sound as new pallets and come with our quality guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pallets are worth repairing?
Generally, if the pallet frame (stringers/blocks) is intact and only deck boards need replacement, repair is cost-effective. We provide free assessments - bring your pallets in or send photos, and we'll advise on repair viability and costs versus replacement.
What is your repair quality guarantee?
All repaired pallets come with a 90-day quality guarantee. If a repair fails under normal use within 90 days, we'll re-repair it free of charge. Our repairs meet NWPCA standards and are as structurally sound as new pallets when properly maintained.
Can you repair pallets while maintaining ISPM 15 certification?
Yes! We can perform repairs that maintain ISPM 15 certification, or we can heat-treat and re-certify pallets after repairs. All replacement wood is heat-treated, and we provide proper ISPM 15 marking and documentation for international shipping compliance.
Do you repair plastic or metal pallets?
We primarily specialize in wooden pallet repairs, but we can handle certain plastic pallet repairs (welding cracks, replacing components) and metal pallet repairs (welding, straightening). Contact us with specifics, and we'll advise on feasibility and pricing.
What is the minimum quantity for pickup service?
For free pickup and delivery, we typically require a minimum of 50 pallets. Smaller quantities can be dropped off at our facility, or we can schedule pickup during a route in your area (may involve wait time).
How long do repaired pallets last?
Properly repaired pallets can last 5-10 additional years with normal use. Lifespan depends on load weights, handling practices, storage conditions, and maintenance. Many of our clients repair the same pallets 2-3 times over their lifecycle, maximizing value and minimizing waste.
Can you match my existing pallet specifications?
Yes! We stock a wide variety of lumber grades, sizes, and types to match your existing pallets. For specialty requirements, we can source specific materials. Maintaining consistent specifications ensures compatibility with your equipment and processes.
Do you offer ongoing repair programs?
Absolutely! Many clients establish regular repair schedules (weekly, monthly, quarterly). Ongoing programs benefit from preferred pricing, priority scheduling, and dedicated account management. We can even provide on-site repairs for large volume operations.
