Munoz Custom Fance - West Chicago's Experienced Fencing Company

Fence post movement, often due to frost heave, happens when moisture in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. In West Chicago’s climate, this is common. To prevent it, we set posts below the frost line (typically 36 inches deep) and use gravel for drainage, which reduces soil shifting. This keeps your fence stable through seasonal changes.

Signs include gaps between rails and posts, sagging sections, or loose boards. This often results from frost heave or age. Yes, we can repair rail separation by realigning posts, tightening connections, or replacing damaged rails. It’s a cost-effective fix that extends your fence’s life without a full replacement.

Yes, we provide gutter services, including cleaning, repairs, and installation. Proper gutters help manage water runoff, which can reduce soil saturation around fence posts and minimize frost heave issues. It’s a complementary service to keep your property’s exterior in good shape.
