Common Questions

What types of fencing and gate repairs do you offer in Harvard, IL?

We handle a full range of fence and gate services, including installation, replacement, and repairs. Common fixes include tightening sagging gates, realigning posts, replacing hinges or latches, and repairing damaged sections. For homeowners near Harvard Square or the surrounding neighborhoods, we also offer custom cedar and treated wood fences that match the local style.

How do you fix sagging gates caused by settling posts in Harvard's soil?

Sagging gates are a frequent problem in this area due to shifting soil and freeze-thaw cycles. Our approach involves checking the post depth and stability, adding concrete footings if needed, and replacing hardware with heavy-duty brackets. We also adjust tension or add a wheel support to take the weight off the hinges, ensuring your gate swings smoothly and stays level.

Can you help with pressure washing my fence and deck before painting or staining?

Yes, we offer pressure washing as part of our preparation services. Cleaning your fence or deck removes dirt, mildew, and old stains, which helps paint or stain adhere better and last longer. We serve homes throughout Harvard, including properties near the business district, and we can schedule washing and finishing in one efficient visit.
