About Our Fence & Gate Service
Fences in Chicagoland take a beating. Freeze-thaw cycles heave posts out of alignment, summer storms snap pickets and topple panels, and years of moisture slowly rot the base of even pressure-treated wood posts. A fence that was straight and solid five years ago can develop a noticeable lean, a dragging gate, or gaps between boards that compromise both privacy and security. Left unaddressed, minor fence damage accelerates — a single leaning post shifts stress to its neighbors, and within a season or two, an entire section can fail.
Whether you're near the only Baha'i House of Worship in North America or anywhere in Wilmette, we arrive with the same commitment to quality and professionalism.

Our White-Glove Fence & Gate Process for Wilmette Homeowners
From first call to final walkthrough — here's how we deliver fence & gate repair in Wilmette.
Damage Assessment
We inspect the full fence line to identify all damage — not just the obvious section. We check post stability, board condition, gate operation, and hardware integrity.
Repair Plan & Quote
You receive a clear scope of work and fixed price. We note materials to be used, expected completion time, and any HOA or setback considerations.
Repair & Replace
Posts are reset in concrete, damaged panels and pickets are replaced, gates are rehung with new hardware, and all repairs are stain-matched to the existing fence.
Final Check & Warranty
We test every gate for smooth operation and secure latching, verify post plumb, and provide before-and-after photos along with a written repair warranty.

What North Shore Homeowners Say About Our Fence & Gate
“A storm knocked down a 30-foot section of our cedar fence. CrestLine came out, removed the damaged panels, set new posts in concrete, and installed new cedar boards to match. You can barely tell which section is new. Excellent repair work.”
“CrestLine completely transformed our outdated 1990s kitchen. New shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a stunning tile backsplash. The crew was meticulous about protecting our floors and cleaned up every single day. Couldn't be happier with the result.”
“I had a whole list of small jobs that had been bugging me for months — squeaky doors, a loose railing, caulking in the bathroom, and a shelf that needed mounting. CrestLine knocked them all out in one visit. So nice to have everything done!”
