Company Profile

Since 1996, All Type Fence has been a family-owned and operated fence contractor serving all of Lake County from Hammond, Indiana. Starting by working with his older brother, the owner founded the business 30 years ago and continues to build fences today. The company specializes in residential, commercial, and industrial fencing, including wood, vinyl, PVC, chain link, security fences, and temporary fencing. As a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor, All Type Fence provides free estimates and backs all work with a two-year warranty. The team handles both installations and repairs for manual and automatic gates, plus services like fence painting, staining, and weatherproofing. Located near landmarks such as the Lake County Government Center and the Indiana Welcome Center, All Type Fence understands the needs of Hammond homeowners. The region’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause wooden and metal fences to shift or rust over time. All Type Fence addresses these local challenges by reinforcing posts during installation and using weather-resistant materials and coatings. For existing fences, the company offers timely repairs—whether a gate is dragging or a panel needs replacing—so property owners don’t have to worry about long-term damage. Whether you’re near Gibson Woods Nature Preserve or in the neighborhoods around Lake Street, All Type Fence provides dependable, straightforward service that keeps your property secure and looking good.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical wood fence last in Hammond’s climate, and how do you weatherproof it?

A properly installed and maintained wood fence can last 10 to 15 years in our climate. At All Type Fence, we always seal and stain wood fences during installation to protect against moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. We also apply a weatherproofing treatment that resists rot and warping. If your existing fence shows signs of wear, we can repair or replace damaged sections and reapply weatherproofing to extend its life.

Do you repair automatic gates, or is it better to replace the whole system?

We repair automatic gates—including motors, sensors, and arm mechanisms—before recommending a full replacement. Our technicians can diagnose the issue on-site and often fix it with a simple part replacement or adjustment. If the system is very old or beyond repair, we’ll explain your options and install a new automatic gate that integrates with your existing setup.

My wooden gate is dragging on the ground after this winter. Is this a common problem in Hammond, and can you fix it?

Yes, dragging gates are very common in our area because soil shifts and moisture swells the wood during freeze-thaw cycles. At All Type Fence, we see this regularly. We can adjust the hinges, trim the bottom, or replace worn hardware to get your gate swinging freely again. If the post has shifted, we’ll dig it out and set it properly. It’s a straightforward repair that we’ve done hundreds of times for Hammond homeowners.
