Vanoppen Construction - Pekin's Best Fence Builders

If your gate hardware freezes, avoid forcing it, as this can damage the latch or hinges. Vanoppen Construction recommends using a de-icer spray or warm water to gently thaw the mechanism. For long-term solutions, we install weather-resistant hardware and apply lubricants designed for cold climates. We also ensure proper clearance and alignment during installation to reduce the risk of freezing. If your gate is already affected, we can inspect and upgrade the hardware to better withstand Pekin's winter conditions.

Fence discoloration is common in Pekin due to sun exposure and moisture. Vanoppen Construction offers fence painting or staining services that restore color and protect against UV rays and rot. We use high-quality, fade-resistant finishes and prepare the surface by cleaning and sanding. For wood fences, we can also apply a sealant to prevent future discoloration. If the damage is severe, we may recommend replacing affected boards before refinishing.

Yes, we offer deck design services as part of our construction process. We work with you to create a layout that fits your home and yard, considering factors like sun exposure, traffic flow, and local building codes. Our team handles everything from initial sketches to material selection, including options like composite or pressure-treated wood. We then build the deck with attention to detail, ensuring it's both functional and durable for Pekin's climate.
