FAQs
How do you prevent fence posts from shifting due to frost heave in Swansea?
In Swansea, frost heave is a common issue. We set posts below the frost line (about 36 inches) and use a gravel base for drainage. This minimizes movement, keeps gates aligned, and reduces latch failures. We also use pressure-treated or steel posts for extra stability.
Can you paint or stain an existing fence to match my deck?
Yes, we offer professional fence and gate painting or staining as part of our full service. We’ll clean and prep the surface, then apply a weather-resistant finish. This works well for wood fences and can be coordinated with your existing deck stain for a cohesive look.
What’s included in a gutter replacement job?
We handle full gutter replacement including removal of old systems, installation of new seamless aluminum gutters, downspouts, and proper sloping for drainage. We also offer gutter addition, cleaning, and repair. For Swansea homes, we recommend checking gutters after fall leaf drop to prevent clogs.

Meet the Team
Vaughn's Fence & Remodel is a family-owned business based in Swansea, IL, serving local homeowners since 2017. Owner Keith Vaughn grew up in the area, learning construction trades from his grandfather’s basement workshop. That early foundation — combined with years of working in local neighborhoods — built a practical, hands-on approach to every job. We specialize in fence and gate installation, repair, staining, and weatherproofing, along with deck design, gutter services, and remodeling. Our team takes pride in delivering quality work at a fair price, whether it’s a basic repair or a full custom deck. For residents near White Oak Elementary School or Bicentennial Park, we’re the trusted local choice for durable fences that resist frost heave and gate latches that stay aligned through seasonal changes.
