Q&A
Why do my fence gate latches keep failing, especially in winter?
In Chicago, frequent freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow can cause gate posts to shift or latch mechanisms to freeze. At Windy City Fence Company, we handle this by installing heavy-duty, weather-resistant latch systems and using galvanized or stainless steel hardware that resists rust and ice buildup. We also ensure proper post setting and drainage to prevent shifting, so your gate functions smoothly year-round.
Can you paint or stain my existing wood fence to match my home?
Yes, we offer fence and gate painting or staining services for both new and existing installations. We use weatherproof stains and paints specifically formulated for Chicago’s humidity and temperature swings, protecting your wood from moisture, UV rays, and snow damage. Our team matches colors to your home or deck to ensure a seamless look.
What is the best type of fence for a windy area like Chicago?
For windy locations, we often recommend chain link or vinyl fencing because they allow wind to pass through more easily than solid wood panels, reducing stress on the structure. Our chain link uses galvanized steel, which resists rust, and our vinyl is reinforced to prevent cracking. Both options are durable and require minimal maintenance.
