Fence Builders West Chicago IL | Call Gabino Fence Services

Leaning fence posts often result from frost heave in winter or soil erosion after heavy rains. The freeze-thaw cycle in northern Illinois can shift posts set too shallow. Gabino Fence Services digs down to stable soil, sets posts in concrete, and braces them properly to prevent future leaning.

Signs include sagging gates, squeaking or grinding sounds when opening, and visible rust or cracks near the hinge screws. If the gate drags on the ground or doesn't latch easily, the hinges may be failing. Gabino Fence Services can replace worn hinges with heavy-duty, weather-resistant models and align the gate for smooth operation.

Yes, in many cases. They assess the damage and often re-set the leaning post, reinforce it with a concrete collar, and straighten the attached rails. This saves you money compared to full replacement. If the post is rotted or cracked, they'll replace just that post and tie it into the existing fence.
