Black Sheep Fence - Chicago's Trusted Fence Builders

We handle a range of repairs, including straightening or replacing leaning fence posts, fixing damaged rails and pickets, and reinforcing gates that sag. For leaning posts, we often dig down, reset the post with a concrete collar, and add gravel at the base to improve drainage and prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. This approach keeps your fence secure through Chicago winters.

Discoloration from sun, rain, and road salt is common here. We recommend pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant wood, and apply high-quality stains with UV blockers and waterproofing sealants. For existing fences, we can clean and refinish the wood to restore its original look. Our weatherproofing services help maintain color and prevent graying, especially on fences exposed to lakefront conditions.

Yes, we frequently install fences and gates together as a complete package. Whether you need a standard walk gate or a wider driveway gate, we can match the style and material to your new fence. This ensures consistent design and a single installation timeline. We also offer staining or painting for the entire setup to protect against Chicago's elements.
