METAL FENCES AND GATES BUILT FOR THE FOX VALLEY

Metal Gates and Fences in Aurora, IL

A fence should look as good in ten years as it does the day we hang the last gate. Aurora Fence & Gate Co. installs and repairs metal fencing, pedestrian and driveway gates, and custom-fabricated ironwork for homes and small businesses in Aurora, IL, and the surrounding Fox Valley towns. We set every post below the frost line, weld every joint ourselves, and finish the metal to stand up to Illinois winters. Family owned and operated, licensed and insured, with a 6-person crew that's been building fences here since 2018. Whether it's a new fence, a gate that drags, or a rusted section that needs replacing, tell us what you've got in mind — we'll come out, take a look, and give you a written price before any work starts.

Steve R., Aurora, Wood Fence Repair ★★★★★

Had one section leaning after the storms. They reset the posts and straightened it out. Looks solid again.

Monica, Oswego, Privacy Fence ★★★★★

We wanted more privacy around the patio without making the yard feel boxed in. They helped us settle on the height and spacing and I’m really happy with how it came out. Neighbors have already asked who did it.

Our Work Area

Aurora, IL

Aurora, IL is crossed by Galena Blvd and E New York St. When describing a nearby project, include the property location and whether the work concerns the fence line or an access opening; that helps focus the initial discussion.

Batavia

In Batavia, IL, Main St crosses the community before Randall Rd does the same. For a leaning gate, describe movement at the post as well as the frame so the support issue receives attention.

Oswego

US Hwy 34 and Douglas Rd each cross Oswego, IL. A new opening calls for consideration of ground clearance and support design alongside the dimensions of the gate itself.

Plainfield

Across Plainfield, IL, the verified routes include US Hwy 30 and State Rte 59. Bring the intended opening location into the conversation early, especially if nearby paving limits room for gate travel.

St. Charles

Illinois Ave serves St. Charles, IL; Randall Rd also crosses the community. When assessing an existing fence, the condition of its posts belongs in the decision about retaining or replacing panels.

Warrenville

Warrenville has established neighborhoods where original fences and gates have aged in place.

Naperville

Around the Metra station and the Washington Street corridor in downtown Naperville, future redevelopment is planned.

North Aurora

A large share of North Aurora homes were built in the 2010s.

Montgomery

Montgomery neighborhoods include newer subdivision homes, and the 2010s were a leading construction decade.

Lisle

Lisle has established neighborhoods with original metal fences and gates.

Winfield

Many Winfield houses date from the 1990s, so the original fence posts have been in the ground for decades.

Office: 657 Wolverine Dr, Aurora, IL 60502

Completed metal gate and fence section with straight posts, level rails, consistent picket spacing, and aligned latch.

How We Work

1

Request

Tell us your location, the fence or gate material, and what you want changed. Include whether the job involves a new opening, damage, difficult movement, or a worn finish.

2

Assess

We come to the property and look at the work before quoting. The assessment considers the opening, existing assembly, surrounding clearance, and condition of the supports.

3

Recommend

We discuss the approach in terms of what can stay and what needs attention. Repair, replacement, and refinishing solve different problems, so the recommendation should match the condition.

4

Schedule

We discuss scheduling once the scope is clear. The project process guide helps you prepare for the next steps and understand the sequence of work.

What Our Customers Say

Steve R., Aurora, Wood Fence Repair ★★★★★

Monica, Oswego, Privacy Fence ★★★★★

T. Brooks, Plainfield, Gate Repair ★★★★★

Gate finally closes without having to lift it with my foot. That alone is worth five stars.

Kevin & Laura, St. Charles, Cedar Fence Installation ★★★★★

We replaced an old chain-link fence with cedar and the difference is night and day. The crew worked around a couple of trees we wanted to keep and kept the line nice and straight even though the yard slopes toward the back. Took a little longer than we expected because of the weather, but the finished fence looks excellent.

Angela P., Batavia, Fence Staining and Repair ★★★★☆

Good experience. They replaced several bad boards, fixed a loose post and stained the whole back section. One small area needed another coat and they came back without making it a hassle.

Derrick, Aurora, Vinyl Fence ★★★★★

Very easy to deal with. Quote was clear, install was quick, and they didn’t leave a pile of dirt and concrete chunks in the yard.

M. Jensen, Oswego, Driveway Gate ★★★★★

Our old gate dragged every time the ground got wet. They rebuilt the hinge side, adjusted the latch and now it swings like it should. Simple job, but it had been annoying us for years.

Rachel, Plainfield, Backyard Fence ★★★★★

Really impressed with the crew. We have two dogs and I was nervous about having sections of the yard open during the work. They planned it so there was always a secure area for them and told me before they moved anything. Fence looks great too.

Dan H., St. Charles, Fence Replacement ★★★★★

Good work. Good people. Would hire again.

What Local Conditions Mean for You

Aurora, IL has a frost depth of 42 inches below finished ground grade. Freezing ground can move inadequately supported posts, changing the relationship between hinges, frames, and latches. A gate that starts dragging therefore deserves attention at its supports as well as its hardware; shifting a latch alone may leave the cause untouched.

Property Conditions

For new fencing, changes in grade affect panel placement and the gaps beneath the fence. Stepped and racked arrangements handle slopes differently, so appearance and ground clearance deserve consideration together. Landscaping, paving, and access for moving materials can also influence the work needed around the installation.

Common Planning Details

Material and finish choices belong in the same conversation. Steel and aluminum need compatible preparation and coatings, while decorative details create additional surfaces to prepare and maintain. We do not quote from a description alone: access, dimensions, supports, and existing condition need a property visit. Our cost factors guide explains what shapes the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you price the job over the phone?

No. We gather details during the initial conversation, but we look at the property before quoting. Measurements alone do not show damaged supports or difficult access.

Does a rusty fence need replacement?

Not always. Surface corrosion on sound metal may suit preparation and refinishing, while deep deterioration can make repair or replacement necessary. A new coating does not restore missing metal.

Will new hinges fix a dragging gate?

Sometimes. Worn hinges may be responsible, but a moving post or distorted frame can produce a similar symptom. Replacing hardware without addressing that cause may leave the gate dragging.
