How much will it cost to have my fence repaired?

Monday, September 6th, 2010

A friend of mine was very careless with his cigarette, and set fire to my fence. I will need two fence panels replaced, including the posts. The fence is made up of cedar planks, and I believe it is 6 feet high. I will also need a redwood retaining wall board replaced. I am just curious if it is worth filing a homeowners claim, or if I should hire a handyman to do the repair? I live in NorCal btw.
It is city code that we have fences. Besides that we have a large dog who requires a fence.
