Shelton Automatic Gate Services | Fence & Gate Experts in St. Charles, IL

Fence alignment issues in St. Charles are often caused by shifting soil from freeze-thaw cycles, strong winds, or improper initial installation. Signs include a sagging gate, uneven panel heights, or posts that lean. At Shelton Automatic Gate Services, we correct alignment by resetting posts, adjusting hinges, and reinforcing the framework. For automatic gates, we also recalibrate the opener and tracks. Our fence repair service ensures your gate swings true and your fence line stays straight for years to come.

Wind-damaged fence panels are a common sight in areas near the Fox River and open subdivisions. Typical signs include cracked or bent pickets, missing boards, or entire sections leaning. Our solution is straightforward: we assess the damage, replace or repair the affected panels, and strengthen the connection to the posts. For automatic gates, we check the frame and motor for stress. We also offer weatherproofing services to seal wood or metal against future wind and moisture damage, extending the life of your fence.

Absolutely. Weatherproofing and staining are key to protecting your gate and fence from St. Charles’ variable weather. The first sign that treatment is needed is when wood starts to gray or crack, or when metal shows rust. Our team applies high-quality stains and sealants that repel moisture and add UV protection. For automatic gates, we ensure the paint or stain won’t interfere with moving parts. This proactive service helps prevent panels from swelling, splitting, or weakening, reducing the chance of wind damage later.
