Metal Gates and Fences in Aurora, IL
A dragging gate, loose fence panel, or failing finish calls for a closer look before you choose replacement. At Aurora Fence & Gate Co., we handle metal fence and gate installation, fabrication, repair, and refinishing. We are family owned and operated, and we come to the property to look at the work before quoting.

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.
How We Work
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
