Hutch & Son Home Improvements - Elyria's Reliable Fencing Company
Elyria, OH 44035
Q&A
We get heavy snow and wet ground in Elyria. How do you install fences so they don't shift or rot?
Our team addresses Elyria’s freeze-thaw cycles by setting fence posts with concrete footings that extend below the frost line. We use pressure-treated lumber or rot-resistant materials, and we apply weatherproofing sealants to wood and aluminum gates. If you have an existing fence that’s leaning or has rotted posts, we can repair or replace the affected sections with these same methods to keep your fence stable for years.
What materials do you use for custom decks, and can you include a wheelchair ramp?
We build decks from wood, composite, vinyl, or aluminum—whichever fits your budget and maintenance preferences. All our decks are custom-designed to your property’s layout. Yes, we can integrate wheelchair ramps directly into the deck design, using gentle slopes and non-slip surfaces to meet accessibility needs without sacrificing looks.
Do you handle automatic gate repairs, or do you send out a separate company?
We repair automatic gates ourselves using our own crew. We don’t subcontract gate work. We fix openers, sensors, and gate hinges for both residential and light commercial gates. If your automatic gate is sluggish, making noise, or not closing properly, we can diagnose and repair it on-site.
