Metro East Deck & Fence - Edwardsville's Trusted Fencing Company

For Edwardsville's mix of humidity and freezing winters, we often suggest composite decking for its low maintenance and resistance to warping. For those who prefer wood, we use pressure-treated lumber and advise annual sealing to protect against moisture. We'll help you choose based on your budget and how much upkeep you're comfortable with.

Frost heave is a common issue here in Edwardsville. We set fence posts at least 36 inches deep, well below the frost line, and use concrete footings that are wider at the bottom to anchor the post. This keeps your fence stable through freeze-thaw cycles. We also install heavy-duty gate hinges to handle any minor ground movement without binding.

Often, a deck can be repaired rather than replaced. We inspect for rot, loose boards, or damaged railings. If the main structure is sound, we can replace individual boards, reinforce the frame, or install new hardware. A full replacement is recommended only if the framing is compromised or if you want a complete style change. We'll give you an honest assessment.
