Wolf Spirit Deck - Oakbrook Terrace's Trusted Residential Fencing

We address frost heave by digging post holes below the frost line—typically 36 to 48 inches deep—and adding a gravel base for drainage. This prevents soil from pushing posts upward during freeze-thaw cycles. We also use pressure-treated or steel posts and backfill with compacted gravel rather than dirt, ensuring your fence stays level and stable year-round.

Successful fence staining starts with proper surface preparation: cleaning, sanding, and applying a high-quality oil-based or acrylic stain. We recommend waiting for a dry stretch of weather with temperatures between 50°F and 90°F. We also apply a UV-protective topcoat to minimize fading. For Oakbrook Terrace homes, we schedule staining in late spring or early fall when humidity is lower.

Often, yes. We specialize in deck resurfacing, which involves removing only the worn deck boards and railings while leaving the existing framing if it’s in good condition. After inspecting the substructure, we reinforce or replace any compromised joists, then install new composite or pressure-treated decking. This saves time and money compared to a full rebuild.
