Professional Fence Builders in Hillside, IL 60162 - Kerrington Gate Repair & Installation

In Hillside, moisture from rain and freeze-thaw cycles often causes fasteners to loosen and hardware to corrode. During a repair or installation, we replace any rusty or failing fasteners with stainless steel or coated options that resist rust. We also tighten all connections and apply anti-seize compounds to moving parts on gates. For automatic gates, we check electrical connections and weatherproof control boxes. This approach helps prevent the same issues from returning quickly, saving you repeated service calls.

When installing an automatic gate, we first assess your property's layout, driveway slope, and power source availability. We mount the gate posts with concrete footings deep enough to handle Hillside's soil conditions. We then run weatherproof wiring, install the motor and sensors, and test the gate for smooth operation. We also program safety features like obstacle detection. Finally, we show you how to use the remote controls and provide maintenance tips to keep the system reliable.

Yes, we paint and stain both fences and gates, whether manual or automatic. We start by cleaning the surface and removing any old peeling finish or rust. For wood fences, we sand and apply a primer if needed. For metal gates, we treat rust spots and apply a corrosion-inhibiting primer. Then we apply a high-quality exterior paint or stain that bonds well and protects against Hillside's rain and sun. The finish not only looks better but also helps your fence last longer.
