B&M Construction - Belvidere's Best Residential Fencing

Fence rail separation is often caused by the wood shrinking and swelling due to our local humidity changes, combined with strong winds. Signs include loose rails or gaps between pickets. Our solution involves removing the damaged rails, replacing them with pressure-treated lumber, and using galvanized brackets or screws to secure them tightly. We also check the posts to ensure the entire section is stable.

Wind-damaged panels may look crooked, have cracked or missing boards, or the entire panel may be leaning. If you see these signs after a storm, call us. We will assess the damage, replace any broken components, and reinforce the attachment points. For windy areas near Belvidere, we often recommend using heavier-gauge brackets and longer screws to help panels withstand future gusts.

Absolutely. A wobbly fence often starts with a weak post base. As a general contractor and concrete expert, we can remove the old posts, pour new concrete footings set below the frost line, and then install the new fence sections. This integrated approach prevents future leaning and rail separation, making your fence last much longer.
