When panels start to bow, boards rot at the bottom, or a whole run loses its line, a Palatine fence can go from tidy to tired in a season. Oakbridge Home Services repairs panels and boards in Palatine, and installs new fences where a repair would only paper over a failing structure.
Panel work is about more than swapping a board. We check the rails the panel hangs from, the posts at each end, and the fixings in between, so a repaired panel stays straight instead of sagging again.
What We Do for Fences in Palatine
- Panel repair and replacement, including bowed and broken panels
- Replacement of rotted boards and bottom rails
- Post replacement where a panel has failed because its post has
- Picket replacement for individual damaged boards
- Gate section repair and realignment
- New fence installation for a complete replacement run
- Reinforcement of panels that have started to move
A common Palatine example is a back fence where the lower boards have softened: those boards are replaced, the rail is checked, and any post that has shifted is dealt with at the same time. Another is a side run where one panel has been pushed out of line — the panel is refitted rather than leaving the whole run to follow it.
What Affects the Price
A price is given only after a description. It depends on the number of panels or boards, whether posts or rails also need work, the fence height and material, the total length, and whether the job is a repair or a new installation.
To get a price, send a description of the problem, photos, your ZIP or address, and your phone number through the Get a Price page, or call or text (224) 584-5800.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair a single panel, or does the whole fence need work?
A single panel can often be repaired on its own, provided its posts and rails are sound. We check those first and explain if more work is needed.
What causes boards to rot at the bottom?
Boards near the ground stay damp longer, and once wood softens it loses strength. Replacing the affected boards and checking drainage around the base helps the repair last.
Can a gate be repaired as part of panel work?
Yes. Gates are part of the fence line, so hinge, latch, and alignment work can be included in the same visit.
