Lighthouse Contracting | Reliable Privacy Fence Installation in Montreal, MO
Montreal, MO 65591
Company Profile
Based in Montreal, MO, Lighthouse Contracting provides durable fences, gates, decks, and excavation services across the Ozarks, Springfield, Fort Leonard Wood, Jefferson City, and Columbia. We focus on practical construction that holds up to Missouri's weather and soil conditions. Our team handles everything from new deck builds and repairs to trench digging for utilities, automatic and manual gate installation, and fence painting, staining, weatherproofing, or replacement. We know local terrain—rocky ground, expansive clay, and freeze-thaw cycles—and plan each project accordingly. For Montreal homeowners, we address the frequent issue of fence posts loosening in Missouri's clay soils by using deeper post holes and wider footings to prevent frost heave and shifting. Located just off Route 7 near Montreal’s town center, we serve neighborhoods around the Niangua River and areas close to Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Every job includes a clear plan, fair pricing, and a neighborly approach. Call for a free consultation.

Q&A
My existing deck has rotted boards and loose railings. Can you repair it, or do I need a full replacement?
We assess each deck individually. If the joists and ledger are still sound, we can often replace only the decking, railings, or stairs—saving you time and money. If the structure has significant rot or is not up to current code, we recommend a complete replacement. Give us a call, and we'll inspect and give you an honest opinion.
I need a new fence in Montreal, but the ground here is full of clay and rocks. How do you make sure the posts stay straight and don't heave in winter?
Clay soil and rocky ground are common around Montreal. We dig posts deeper than standard—typically 36 to 48 inches depending on frost depth—and use a wider concrete footing. This anchors the posts below the frost line and prevents the soil's freeze-thaw cycle from pushing them up. For rocky areas, we may use a mechanical auger or hand-dig to keep the holes straight and clean.
What does automatic gate installation involve, and do you handle the wiring and opener setup?
Yes, we install the entire system: gate framing, hinges, posts, the automatic opener motor, safety sensors, and all necessary wiring. We also handle conduit for underground wiring if needed. Before we start, we review your gate dimensions and weight, then recommend a suitable opener. After installation, we test the safety features and show you how to operate it.
