Mchenry, IL 60050
FAQs
How do you prevent fence posts from shifting due to frost heave in Mchenry?
Frost heave is a common issue here, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. We set posts below the frost line (typically 48 inches deep) and use concrete footings with gravel drainage. For heavier gates, we reinforce with steel brackets and anchor bolts. This approach keeps your fence stable year-round.
Can you install an automatic gate for my driveway in Mchenry?
Yes, we specialize in both manual and automatic gate installation. Our automatic gates use durable slide or swing mechanisms, with options for remote access and safety sensors. We custom-fabricate the gate to match your home’s style, whether ornamental iron or powder-coated aluminum.
What types of metal fabrication do you offer for residential projects?
We create custom railings (interior and exterior), window well covers, steel stairs, Juliette balconies, and decorative gates. Every piece is hand-forged or fabricated in our Mchenry shop to your exact measurements. We also provide mobile welding for on-site repairs and modifications.
