Business Background

Gregs Fences has been serving Milwaukee, WI, for over a decade, specializing in fence and gate installation, repair, and maintenance. Milwaukee's harsh winters often cause frost heave that shifts fence posts and warps wooden panels, while lake-effect winds from Lake Michigan can loosen gates and damage chain-link. Gregs Fences addresses these common local issues by using frost-resistant concrete footings, pressure-treated lumber, and heavy-duty hardware designed to withstand Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles. Located just off I-94 near the Miller Park neighborhood, they provide prompt service to areas like the East Side, Bay View, and Wauwatosa. Whether you need a privacy fence for your backyard near the Menomonee River or a secure gate for a commercial property downtown, Gregs Fences offers durable solutions tailored to Milwaukee's climate and soil conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my fence posts lean or heave after winter in Milwaukee?

Frost heave is a common problem in Milwaukee due to clay-rich soils that expand when frozen. Gregs Fences solves this by digging post holes below the frost line (typically 48 inches) and using concrete collars with drainage gravel to prevent water pooling. This keeps your fence stable year-round, even in neighborhoods like Riverwest or near the lakefront.

My wooden gate is sagging and won't latch properly—what's the cause?

In Milwaukee's humid summers and freezing winters, wooden gates often warp or loosen at the hinges due to moisture expansion and contraction. Gregs Fences reinforces gates with galvanized steel corner brackets, adjustable hinges, and T-hinges rated for heavy use. We also recommend cedar or redwood for better resistance to rot, especially in shady areas like under trees in Shorewood.

Can you fix a chain-link fence that was damaged by a snowplow?

Yes. Snowplows frequently bend posts and tear chain-link fabric along Milwaukee streets and driveways. Gregs Fences can replace damaged sections, reset bent posts in concrete, and tighten the fabric to restore tension. We also offer heavy-duty terminal posts and tension bars for areas near curb lines, such as along Capitol Drive or Howell Avenue.
