Company Background

As experienced general contractors, they handle complete fence installation and construction, providing free estimates for every job. The team understands local conditions, such as frost heave during cold Illinois winters, which can shift fence posts over time. To combat this, they set posts below the frost line and use compacted gravel bases for drainage, reducing movement and prolonging fence life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fencing Freaks prevent fence posts from shifting due to frost heave in Mattoon?
In Mattoon, frost can cause the ground to expand and contract, which often shifts fence posts. Our team digs post holes below the frost line—typically 30 to 36 inches deep—and uses a base of compacted gravel to improve drainage. This prevents water from freezing around the post and reduces movement, keeping your fence stable through seasonal changes.
What types of fencing materials do you install for residential and commercial properties?
We offer custom wood fencing as our specialty, along with aluminum, vinyl, and PVC options. Wood gives a traditional look and can be stained or painted, while aluminum is lightweight and rust-resistant. Vinyl and PVC require little maintenance and are good for industrial sites needing durability. We help you choose based on your property type and budget.
Can you repair wind-damaged fence panels in Mattoon?
Yes, we frequently repair panels that have been knocked loose or broken by strong winds common in the area. We replace damaged boards or sections with new material that matches your existing fence, and we reinforce the rails with stronger fasteners to resist future wind. We also inspect adjacent posts for stability and recommend adjustments if needed.
