FAQs
What causes privacy fence panel damage in Chicago, and how can Kieffer fix it?
Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, high winds, and moisture from heavy snow can cause wooden privacy fence panels to warp, crack, or split. For metal panels, corrosion from road salt and de-icing chemicals is a common cause. Kieffer can repair or replace damaged panels, reinforcing them with weather-resistant materials. For metal fences, we fabricate new sections or treat rust to prevent future corrosion.
How do I know if my fence hardware is corroded, and what can I do about it?
Signs of corroded fence hardware include visible rust or white powder on hinges, latches, brackets, or screws, as well as difficulty opening or closing gates, or sagging sections. Kieffer can inspect your fence, replace corroded fasteners and hardware with galvanized or stainless steel options, and tighten loose connections to restore stability.
Can Kieffer help if my automatic gate isn't working due to weather or wear?
Yes. Common issues include frozen or jammed tracks, worn gears, or sensor misalignment from snow and ice. Kieffer offers automatic gate repair services to diagnose and fix mechanical or electrical problems. We can also upgrade sensors, replace damaged drive components, and perform seasonal maintenance to prevent future breakdowns.
