Mrc Construction | Trusted Fence Builders in Chicago, IL

A sagging gate is often caused by loose hinges, a warped frame, or a settling post. Over time, weather and regular use can weaken the hardware or shift the alignment. The solution involves inspecting the hinges, tightening or replacing them, and adjusting the post if needed. Our team can reinforce the gate to prevent future sagging and ensure smooth operation.

Signs include widespread rot, loose or cracked boards, wobbly railings, or nails popping up. If the structural support beams are damaged or the deck sways when walked on, replacement is safer than repair. We’ll assess the condition and recommend a new deck that meets your needs and local building codes.

Yes, in most cases a broken hinge can be replaced without needing a new gate. We’ll remove the old hinge, check the gate’s alignment, and install a new, sturdy hinge that fits the frame. This is a common repair for Chicago homes, especially after harsh winters when hardware can corrode or loosen.
