Questions and Answers
How does L & M Fence handle fence post rot, which is common in Chicago's climate?
We counter post rot by using pressure-treated lumber or naturally rot-resistant wood for posts. During installation, we set posts on a gravel base to improve drainage, which prevents moisture from pooling at the base. For existing fences, we replace rotted posts and reinforce the surrounding area to ensure long-term stability.
Can you repair an automatic gate that stops working in the middle of winter?
Yes, we repair automatic gates year-round. Winter issues often involve frozen sensors, battery failure, or ice blocking the track. Our technicians diagnose the specific problem—whether it's a motor, control board, or wiring issue—and perform the necessary repair to get your gate operating safely.
What types of fences do you install for Chicago homes?
We install wood, vinyl, chain-link, aluminum, and wrought-iron fences. Each material is suited to different needs: wood offers privacy, vinyl is low-maintenance, and metal provides durability. We also install matching gates, railings, and can add weatherproofing treatments to extend the life of your fence.
