Gilberto’s Welding Services - Chicago's Trusted Commercial Fencing

Cracking is a common sign of moisture and temperature swings. We assess the damage and can reinforce the fence with custom metal brackets or replace damaged sections. For long-term prevention, we recommend our fence weatherproofing service, which seals the wood against moisture and reduces the impact of future freeze-thaw cycles. We also check for any frost heave in the posts and re-set them if needed.

Yes, we frequently repair leaning posts caused by frost heave in Chicago. Our approach is to pull the post, dig down below the frost line, add concrete footing, and secure it with a custom metal base or bracket from our metal fabrication service. This stabilizes the post and prevents further movement. We then rehang the gate and adjust the hinges for smooth operation.

Absolutely. We install automatic gates designed for our local climate, using corrosion-resistant materials and weatherproof components. Our metal fabrication allows us to create custom gate frames that won't warp or crack. We also seal all electrical connections against moisture and snow, ensuring your gate operates reliably through winter, spring, and summer.
