Expert Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Addison, IL 60101 - Steele Automatic Gate Services

We start by inspecting the hinge, post, and gate alignment. For wooden fences, we reinforce the post if it's rotted or loose, then replace the hinge with a heavy-duty model suited for your gate weight. We test the swing and adjust the latch so the gate closes securely. This is a common issue in Addison, especially after wet seasons, and we typically complete the repair in one visit.

We recommend a high-quality wood sealer or stain that resists moisture and UV damage. After cleaning and sanding the surface, we apply two coats, paying extra attention to end grains and joints. This protects against freeze-thaw cycles and humidity, which can cause warping or rot. We also offer weatherproofing for metal gates using rust-inhibiting primers and paint.

Yes. We prepare the surface by cleaning, sanding, and masking off any sensors or moving parts. We then apply a professional-grade paint or stain in the color of your choice. For automatic gates, we ensure the coating doesn’t interfere with the motor or hinges. This service is popular near Lake Addison and the Addison Park District, where homeowners want a cohesive look.
