Question Answers
How do you prevent vinyl fence posts from heaving during freeze-thaw cycles?
We use a three-step process: First, we dig a hole wider than the post to allow for ample concrete. Second, we cut 3-inch holes in the bottom of the post so concrete flows inside and out, locking it together. Third, we fill with concrete mix that includes Portland cement. This stops the post from lifting over time, a common issue in Monee's climate.
Can you repair a broken gate hinge on a wood fence in Monee?
Yes, we repair gate hinges for all fence types. If a hinge is rusty or damaged, we replace it with heavy-duty hardware suited for your gate’s weight. We also check the post and frame for rot or misalignment to ensure the gate swings smoothly. In Monee, moisture from snow and rain can accelerate wear, so we recommend weatherproofing the wood as part of the repair.
What types of fencing do you install for residential properties near Monee?
We install wood, vinyl (PVC), aluminum, chain link, and horse rail fencing. For homes near landmarks like Monee Reservoir or along Route 50, vinyl and aluminum are popular for low maintenance. Wood works well for privacy in neighborhoods like Eagle Ridge. We also offer painting, staining, and weatherproofing to match your home's style.
About the Local Business
The Fence Guys Inc., founded by Robert Jones in Monee, IL, brings over 25 years of fence and gate expertise to the community. Robert, an artist by training, started installing fences in 1987 and opened his own company in 1995 after witnessing poor installation practices at other firms. He uses a unique method to prevent post heaving in vinyl and aluminum fencing: a wider hole, concrete inside and outside the post, and 3-inch holes cut at the base to lock the post in place. This approach, refined in 2009, stops the gradual lifting that can cause a fence to rise inches over a few years. Services include installation, painting, staining, repair, and weatherproofing for wood, chain link, vinyl, aluminum, and horse rail fences. Robert’s philosophy, passed down from his father, is to do the job right without shortcuts. The company serves Monee and nearby areas like Tinley Park, ensuring fences that stand strong through Illinois winters.
