Leaning posts, dragging gates, missing boards, gray weathered wood — Illinois weather is hard on fences, and we put them right. Repairs, replacements, staining, and honest advice on which one you actually need.
Get My Free Fence QuoteFrom a single storm-snapped picket to re-setting a whole run of posts — one licensed, insured crew handles it all.
Heaved and rotted posts pulled, re-set in concrete below the frost line, and lined back up with the run.
Broken, rotted, or missing boards replaced and blended into the existing fence — not left looking like patches.
Sagging gates rebuilt and rehung with proper bracing and hardware, so they swing free and latch every time.
Washed and stained on the same weather-window schedule as our deck work — protection that buys your fence years.
Wind-flattened sections stood back up or rebuilt fast — with photos and an itemized quote if insurance is involved.
Extending a run, closing a gap, screening the trash cans — the small fence projects the big fence companies won't call back about.
Catch these early and it's a repair visit. Ignore them for two winters and it's a rebuild.
Frost heave and rot at the ground line are the usual culprits — and a leaning post drags its whole section with it.
Gates fail first — they're the moving part. Sag, worn hinges, and shifted posts are all fixable in one visit.
Boards that touch soil or sit in splash zones rot from the bottom up. Replacing the worst few now protects the rest.
If water soaks in instead of beading, the wood is unprotected. Washing and staining now beats replacing boards later.
Straight-line winds take fences down every spring here. We stand them back up fast — with documentation if you're filing a claim.
Loose boards and gaps at the ground get discovered by pets before people. We close the gaps and secure the run.
Four things drive a fence quote — and posts are the big one. Quotes are free, written, and itemized.
Posts mean digging, concrete, and cure time — they're the most labor-intensive part of any fence. Board swaps without post work go much faster.
Linear feet sets the base for repairs and staining alike — and both sides of a privacy fence count when it's stain day.
Common cedar and pressure-treated profiles match easily. Discontinued panel styles take some hunting — we'll tell you the options up front.
A simple re-hang is quick; a rebuilt double gate with new hardware is a bigger (and very satisfying) fix.
Absolutely — that's most of our fence work. We match the material and blend the new boards in, and staining afterward makes the repair disappear.
Frost heave and rot. Water in our clay soil freezes and physically lifts shallow-set posts, and wood at the soil line rots first. Re-setting deeper in concrete fixes both.
Usually, yes. Most gate problems are hinges, bracing, or the gate post — all fixable on their own.
We'll test-match on a spare board first. On weathered fences, a full wash-and-restain of the run gives the most even result.
Often, depending on your policy. We provide dated photos and an itemized written quote you can hand straight to your adjuster.
