Repair Questions
When is repair better than buying new?
If at least 60-70% of the pallet is intact, repair is usually more economical. We can assess your pallets and recommend the best approach.
Do repaired pallets meet GMA standards?
Yes. Our repairs meet or exceed GMA pallet specifications. Repaired pallets maintain their original load-bearing capacity.
Can you repair heat-treated pallets?
Absolutely. We use heat-treated lumber for repairs and can re-stamp pallets to maintain ISPM 15 compliance for international shipping.
What's your minimum for on-site repair?
On-site repair services are available for quantities of 500+ pallets. For smaller quantities, drop-off or pickup service is more cost-effective.
