A First Fence | Local Fencing Company in Hillside, IL

Hillside's freeze-thaw cycles can cause wood to crack and splinter. At A First Fence Inc., we use kiln-dried, treated lumber that has a lower moisture content, making it more stable during temperature swings. We also custom-space fence boards to allow for natural expansion and contraction, which reduces stress on the wood. If you have existing cracking, our fence repair service can replace damaged pickets and apply weatherproofing to protect against future freeze-thaw damage.

We provide a wide selection of over 100 styles, including wood, aluminum, vinyl, and ornamental steel. Each material is chosen for durability and appearance. For residential homes, we commonly install wood and vinyl for privacy, while aluminum and ornamental steel work well for commercial properties or decorative gates. During your free consultation, we help match the material to your needs and the local climate, ensuring your fence lasts.

Yes, automatic gate repair is one of our specialties. Common issues include misaligned sensors, worn-out motors, or electrical problems. We send a technician to diagnose the system, whether it's a swing or slide gate. We carry parts for most major brands and can also upgrade your gate opener for better reliability. We serve all of Hillside and surrounding suburbs for prompt repairs.
