Here's exactly how we handle every fence repair job in River Forest, step by step.
Step 1
We come out, inspect the full fence line, and find every problem — not just the obvious one.
Step 2
No surprise charges. You get a clear price before we touch a single board.
Step 3
We match your existing fence materials so repairs blend in naturally — wood, vinyl, or metal.

Step 5
We carefully remove broken boards, bent rails, or rotted sections without disturbing good sections.

We install new materials securely — properly fastened, leveled, and aligned with the existing fence line.
Step 7
Every gate hinge, latch, and closer gets checked and adjusted so your gate swings and locks perfectly.
Step 8
We walk the entire repaired fence with you before we leave — you see the work, you approve it, done.

Most River Forest homeowners wait too long to call for fence repair — and by then, what would've been a simple board replacement turns into a full post replacement. Here's what to watch for:
A leaning fence post is almost always a sign of ground rot or concrete failure at the base — and the longer you wait, the more it spreads to neighboring sections. Catching it early saves you hundreds.
Wobbly gate hinges are one of the most common repair calls we get across River Forest and nearby areas like Oak Park and Elmwood Park — and it's usually a fast fix if caught early.
If you see cracked or splitting wood boards, peeling paint near the fence base, or sections pulling away from posts — that fence is telling you it needs help now, not next spring.
The cost of fence repair in River Forest depends on damage type, materials, and length of repair needed. We provide upfront quotes, with no surprises.
Most residential fence repairs in River Forest are completed in a single visit — typically 1 to 3 hours depending on damage size and fence type.
Yes. We repair wood, vinyl, chain-link, aluminum, and composite fences — including gates, posts, rails, and full panel sections.
