Devoted to ensuring residents throughout the Chicago land area the finest fence installation and maintenance. With more than 20 years, we’ve gained unique experience handling thousands of jobs with expert precision. As a family owned and operated business, we've been serving the Chicago land area for the past 9 years. Offering the best quality at the best price and treating our customers the way they want to be treated.

"I had A&M Fence come and replace the wood on a fence I had installed only 3 years ago. Rule #1 *never* have a landscaping company install a fence. The old fence was weather beaten, falling apart and the metal rusting; it looked 10 years old! A&M Fence replaced the boards with new cedar, replaced and secured the bolts, removed the rust and installed decorative spikes. The completed job vastly exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with the fence. I had to wait a few weeks for the install since they are busy, but they are worth the wait. I'm going to have them do other fence work and I've recommended them to my neighbor. They are professional and take pride in their work."

We all know a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for updating a space. Still, nothing adds elegance and warmth like custom woodwork and trim. Imagine transforming your living room or custom storage, and a fireplace makeover. Now move to the kitchen and imagine how much better it would look with new, custom-built cabinets. Maintaining the exterior of your home is important to avoid structural issues and keep it looking good. Murach’s Construction can handle all your exterior repairs and perform installations that enhance the beauty of your home. Whether you need us to repair damaged wood, or make improvements to the exterior of your home, you can rely on us for all your exterior home repairs and installation. We do all kinds of handyman services.

"Mark installed floors in our kitchen and living room. We chose hardwood and his work was well priced for the great job that he did. Will definitely recommend him and use him again as he is a Jack of all trades. Thanks Mark!"

"We hired Oscar to build a new front porch. At first, everything went well. However, we ultimately agreed to change the scope of the project a little bit (instead of re-painting and repairing a wood awning, covering it with Trex). We paid for the job (including the painting work that was not performed), but then Oscar kept pushing us off on finishing the project, saying he had bigger jobs to worry about. He also did not have his crew come finish the punch list work on the original scope, so there are some missing fasteners and warped Trex that he agreed to replace but did not. We have been chasing him for months to finish up, but he mostly ignores our messages and says he can't get to us. It's been very disappointing, because he seemed like a nice guy and had come highly recommended."

I've been a handyman and remodeling homes on the side for more than 30 years. At the conclusion of a 32 year career as an insurance professional, I chose to pursue my hobby as a full-time self employed residential remodeling/home improvement contractor. I recently added Angie's List to my portfolio of service providers and have a 94% 5-Star rating (100 + reviews) with another similar service provider. I approach every job as if it were my own home, delivering high quality work with attention to detail. Timely and efficient communication are also my standard practice. Give me a try - you'll be happy you did!

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Redwood and cedar work well for gates because they resist decay and severe weather conditions. Redwood is considered more elegant, though cedar is more affordable. Other options include oak and treated pine. Avoid softwoods like pine and spruce for outdoor projects, as they are susceptible to water, rot, and sun damage.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren’t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that’s easy to clean.

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.
