Questions and Answers

How do you address fence alignment issues on Chicago’s uneven lots?

Chicago’s older neighborhoods often have sloped or uneven lots, which can cause fence panels to sag or shift. We handle this by setting each post at a consistent 42-inch depth below the frost line and using adjustable brackets to level panels. Our team also checks alignment during installation and offers repairs for existing fences, ensuring your gate swings properly and panels stay straight despite ground movement.

What does your fence weatherproofing service include for Chicago’s harsh winters?

Chicago winters bring snow, ice, and salt that can rust and weaken wrought iron. Our weatherproofing includes applying a rust-inhibiting primer and a high-quality paint or stain that seals the metal. We also inspect welds and joints for weak spots, then reinforce them. This service extends the life of your fence and reduces the need for repairs after freeze-thaw cycles.

Can you install an automatic gate for a large commercial property near the Loop?

Yes, we install automatic gates for commercial properties throughout Chicago, including those near the Loop. We handle everything from the gate fabrication to wiring the opener and setting the control system. Our team also secures the necessary permits and ensures the gate meets city code for height and safety sensors, so it operates reliably for high-traffic areas.

Local Business Description

Established in 1997, our Chicago-based company specializes in fabricating and installing wrought iron fences, wood fences, handrails, security doors, and windows. With 30 years of experience, we stay current with evolving city codes—especially those following the porch collapse regulations, which tightened requirements for weight resistance, bar spacing, and railing height. We use grade A materials, set all footings 42 inches deep to bypass the frost line, and complete full welds rather than spot welding. Our team provides everything needed for your project, including architectural plans, engineer specifications, licenses, and permits, ensuring full compliance with Chicago codes. We serve general contractors across the Chicago area, from Lincoln Park to the South Side, handling projects from small repairs to large commercial installations. Our competitive prices and professional craftsmanship reflect our commitment to customer satisfaction. Whether you need fence alignment corrections for uneven ground or wind-damaged panel replacements, we deliver durable, code-compliant solutions that stand up to Chicago’s weather.
