Fence Repair and Installation in Arlington Heights

A fence with gaps, cracked boards, or a wobbly run does not do the job it was built for. Oakbridge Home Services offers fence repair and new fence installation in Arlington Heights, from single pickets that have split to a full new fence where the old one is beyond sensible repair.

Picket work is a good place to start when the posts are still sound. Replacing broken or missing pickets, refitting loose boards, and tightening a sagging rail can restore privacy and appearance without disturbing the whole fence line.

Fence Services in Arlington Heights

  • Picket replacement for split, warped, or missing pickets
  • Panel repair and replacement for damaged runs
  • Post replacement for posts that have rotted or broken at the base
  • Leaning and fallen fence repair, with the posts and rails checked first
  • Gate sections: repair, realignment, hinges, and latches
  • New fence installation, planned around the yard and the existing layout

One typical request is a privacy fence where a row of pickets has weathered unevenly: the damaged boards are taken out, replacements are fitted, and the run is checked for loose fixings. Another is a new fence for a yard that previously had only a partial boundary — in that case we discuss the length, height, and style before any work is priced.

How the Price Is Worked Out

A price is given only after a description. What matters most is the length of fence involved, the number of pickets, panels, or posts, the condition of the existing posts, the fence material and height, and whether the work 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

Can you match new pickets to my existing fence?

We fit replacements to the existing boards as closely as the fence allows. Older wood may have weathered, so a new board can look slightly different at first, and we will say so before work starts.

Is a new fence better than repairing an old one?

It depends on the posts and rails. If the structure is sound, repair is usually the practical choice. If posts are failing along the run, a new installation may be worth discussing, and we explain why.

Do you work on fence gates in Arlington Heights?

Yes. Gate sections are checked as part of the fence, including hinges, latches, and the post the gate hangs from.

What should I send to get a price?

A description, photos, your ZIP or address, and your phone number. A price is given after that description, not before it.

When is the work scheduled?

Timing is agreed when booking, once the scope and price have been confirmed.
