Questions and Answers
How does Fenceworks handle fence alignment issues common in Northbrook's freeze-thaw cycles?
Northbrook's winters cause the ground to shift, which can throw fence posts out of alignment. We recommend using concrete footings set below the frost line to minimize movement. If your fence is already leaning, we can often realign it by adjusting the posts and re-setting them properly. We also suggest a spring inspection to catch small shifts before they become bigger problems.
Can you paint or stain my existing fence to match my Northbrook home's exterior?
Yes. We offer fence and gate painting or staining using weather-resistant finishes that hold up to our local humidity and snow. We'll help you choose a color that complements your home, whether you're near Techny Prairie Park or in a subdivision off Dundee Road. Proper preparation, including cleaning and sanding, ensures the finish lasts.
Do you repair gate hardware that freezes in winter?
Absolutely. Frozen gate hardware is a common issue in Northbrook due to ice buildup in latches and hinges. We can replace standard hardware with stainless-steel or brass options that resist rust and freezing. We also lubricate moving parts with a cold-weather lubricant and check the gate's alignment to prevent binding when temperatures drop.
