Kiltz Home Repair: Reliable Fencing Company Serving Rockford, IL 61109

Fence posts often lean due to soil movement from freeze-thaw cycles common in northern Illinois. Over time, moisture can rot the wood at ground level, and wind pressure on fence panels can loosen posts. Kiltz Home Repair can assess your fence, replace rotted posts with set concrete footings, or adjust tension to bring the line back into alignment.

Kiltz Home Repair carries a variety of hinges and can match the existing hardware or upgrade it for better durability.

Kiltz Home Repair will inspect the joists, replace damaged boards, and tighten connections to extend the deck’s life without tearing it all out.
