Residential Fencing Downers Grove IL | Call Discount Fence

For deck projects, we primarily work with pressure-treated wood and composite materials. Wood offers a classic, cost-effective look, while composite provides low-maintenance durability. We can help you choose the best option based on your budget and desired longevity. Our team handles everything from new deck builds to repairing rotted boards or loose railings.

Sagging gates are a common issue here due to seasonal ground movement and heavy use. We recommend checking the hinges and latch first—often tightening or replacing them solves the problem. If the gate frame itself is warped, we can reinforce it with a tension cable or swap the gate for a heavier-duty steel or aluminum model. We’ll also assess your posts; if they’ve shifted, we may need to reset them. Stop by our yard or call for a free estimate.

If your deck has widespread rot, significant structural damage, or boards that are too thin to safely support weight, replacement is usually safer and more cost-effective long-term. Signs include soft spots, splintering that can’t be sanded, or loose posts. For minor issues like a few cracked boards or a wobbly railing, repair is often sufficient. We can inspect your deck and give an honest recommendation—no pressure.
