Robert's Contracting: Reliable Privacy Fence Installation Serving Franklin Park, IL 60131

Our local clay soil retains a lot of moisture, especially after heavy rains or snowmelt. Combined with the freeze-thaw cycle, wood fence posts that aren't pressure-treated or properly set with gravel can wick up water, leading to accelerated rot at ground level. Robert's Contracting addresses this by using concrete footings and rot-resistant materials to prevent future decay.

Sagging gates in Franklin Park are typically caused by loose hardware, rotted hinge posts, or heavy gates that have pulled their screws out of wood. The sign is often a gap at the top corner of the gate or scraping along the pavement. Our team can re-secure the hardware, replace the rotted post, or install a tension bar to correct the alignment without fully replacing the gate.

Yes, in many cases we can perform a 'post replacement' repair, cutting out the rotted section and setting a new post in concrete next to it, then splicing the old fencing to the new post. This saves you money and preserves the rest of your fence. We first assess whether the fence panels are still sound — if so, it's a straightforward local repair.
