Common Questions
How do you fix a broken gate hinge on a heavy driveway gate?
We inspect the hinge, the gate frame, and the post to determine if the hinge itself is damaged or if the mounting points have shifted. For residential gates in Vernon Hills, we typically replace worn hinges with heavy-duty models rated for the gate's weight and reinforce the attachment points with stainless steel lag bolts into the post. This prevents the hinge from pulling loose again, even with frequent use.
Can you match the stain or paint color on an existing fence I already have?
Yes. During our staining or painting service for fences and gates, we bring color swatches and can also take a sample from an inconspicuous area of your existing finish. We then match the color as closely as possible using a quality exterior-grade stain or paint that bonds well with wood or metal. For automatic gates, we ensure the coating does not interfere with sensors or moving parts.
What’s the most reliable way to prevent fence rail separation during Vernon Hills winters?
Fence rail separation is common here because of freeze-thaw cycles. We prevent this by using coated, corrosion-resistant screws instead of nails, and we install rail brackets that allow for slight movement without pulling apart. We also check the posts for frost heave and reset them if needed before reattaching the rails, so the entire fence stays tight year-round.
