Q&A
How does Northern Illinois Fence handle deck repair and replacement for older homes in Batavia?
We assess the existing structure for rot, insect damage, and wear. For deck repair, we replace damaged boards, reinforce framing, and secure railings. If a full replacement is needed, we remove the old deck and install a new one using pressure-treated lumber or composite materials, tailored to the home’s style and the Batavia climate.
How does frost heave in Batavia affect fence posts, and what do you do to prevent movement?
Frost heave occurs when soil freezes and expands, pushing fence posts upward. In Batavia’s winters, this can cause leaning or shifting. We dig post holes below the frost line (typically 36-48 inches), use concrete footings with gravel drainage, and often employ steel post anchors to keep the fence stable year-round.
What deck construction options do you offer for Batavia homeowners near the Fox River?
We design and build custom decks using materials like cedar, composite, or PVC, which resist moisture and rot common near the river. Our decks include features such as built-in seating, privacy screens, and safe staircases. We work with local building codes and can help with permits for properties close to waterways.
