Frequently Asked Questions
How does George Hindley address common fencing issues caused by Minneapolis winters, like frost heave or rust from road salt?
In Minneapolis, freeze-thaw cycles and road salt can wreak havoc on metal fences and gates. George Hindley mitigates this by using heavy-gauge steel and applying marine-grade weatherproofing coatings that resist corrosion. For new installations, posts are set below the frost line to prevent heaving, and we recommend annual inspections to catch salt damage early. Our repair services include replacing rusted sections and repainting with durable, weather-resistant finishes.
Can you fabricate a custom awning for a commercial property near the North Loop or Uptown?
Absolutely. We custom-fabricate awnings from steel or aluminum for businesses in neighborhoods like the North Loop, Uptown, and Dinkytown. Whether you need a retractable awning for a sidewalk café or a fixed canopy for a storefront, we work with you on design, color, and mounting to match the building’s architecture and local zoning requirements.
What types of automatic gates do you install, and do you service properties near the Minneapolis chain of lakes?
We install sliding, swinging, and cantilever automatic gates for driveways and commercial lots, including properties near Lake Harriet, Bde Maka Ska, and the Chain of Lakes. Our systems include keypads, intercoms, and remote access, and we also offer ongoing repair and maintenance. All installations meet safety sensor requirements and local building codes.
