Older wooden fences in Wilmette often show their age at the base: posts soften, lower boards rot, and panels start to lean. Oakbridge Home Services repairs aging fences in Wilmette by replacing the posts and boards that have worn out, and installs new fences when the old fence has reached the end of its useful life.

For example, a Wilmette fence with rotted posts at its base might be repaired by replacing those posts and the lower boards around them, keeping the sound upper panels. A fence where rot has spread through most of its posts would instead be discussed as a new installation.
