Pool Fencing Peoria, IL

Initial Consultation and Measurements

The first step is to schedule an on-site consultation at your property. Our fence experts will assess your unique needs and preferences, such as material, height, style, and placement of gates or access points. We’ll take precise measurements of the area to be enclosed by the pool fence.

Proper measurements ensure the fence is designed and built to suit your poolscape. We’ll also inspect the site and identify any obstructions, sloped areas, or utilities to take into account while planning the layout. Our team will make recommendations and provide options to choose from based on your goals, HOA regulations, and local building codes.

Permitting and Approvals

Once we have finalized the project scope and fence specifications, we’ll submit the necessary paperwork to your city or county to obtain permits. Securing permits in advance is mandatory for pool fences in most jurisdictions.

Our familiarity with local permitting processes helps expedite approvals. We’ll also coordinate with your HOA or neighborhood architectural committee as needed to get their green light. Keeping up with code changes and requirements is part of our commitment to building compliant, long-lasting fences.

Materials Selection

With the permits in place, we’ll help you select the perfect fencing materials for durability, aesthetics, and budget. Aluminum, vinyl, wood, chain link – each has advantages. Aluminum and vinyl are durable, low-maintenance options. Wood infuses a classic, natural look. Chain link is very affordable.

We’ll provide samples of different styles – privacy, semi-privacy, picket, and more – along with color choices. You can change materials between different sections of the fence, getting the best of everything! We’ll place the order to get the materials delivered on time.

Demolition and Site Preparation

Our team will demolish and remove any existing fence or landscape features in the pool area to clear the space. We may have to trim some trees or bushes that are obstructing the planned fence line. Proper site preparation is key to smooth installation.

We’ll remove all debris and dispose of it properly. The ground will be leveled in places to ensure the new fence posts sit on stable, even footing. Concrete footings will be poured and given time to cure if building a wood fence. Our goal is to prep the site for flawless installation.

Precision Installation

With years of experience erecting all kinds of fences, our team has installation down to a science. We take care to install posts and panels plumb and square for optimal structural integrity. Proper gating and self-closing mechanisms will be installed according to code. You can watch our crew in action and ask questions.

If building a wood fence, we use advanced techniques like threading the rails through the pickets to prevent warping. Aluminum and vinyl sections are assembled using sturdy braces and brackets. For chain link, we tightly stretch the mesh and secure it neatly to the posts. The end result will be a straight, even fence that enhances your poolscape.

Gate Installation

Gate placement is planned carefully to allow convenient access without compromising safety. All gates will be outfitted with latching mechanisms that automatically close and lock per regulations. Appropriate hardware will also be installed to accommodate locks.

Safety is our top priority. Special coated hinges, gate stops, and pool-code compliant latches will be used. We want to eliminate any gaps or openings where a child could potentially gain access. Compliance gives you peace of mind. We’ll ensure the gates function smoothly and close securely after each use.

Inspection and Cleanup

Once the pool fence installation is complete, we’ll do a final walkthrough and inspection with you. This is a chance to point out any last tweaks or adjustments needed before we wrap up. We’ll clean up the entire work area, leaving your property neat and tidy, and ready to enjoy.

Next, we’ll notify the local building department to come inspect and approve the new pool fence. We’ll provide any needed documentation and remain available until the project passes inspection and receives final sign-off. Only then do we consider our work complete. Your absolute satisfaction is our #1 goal.

Scheduling Maintenance

Proper maintenance helps your pool fence retain its safety, function, and aesthetics over many years of use. We recommend periodic maintenance checks, especially important for wood fences. Our team is always available for repairs, sealant reapplication, tightening loose parts, and more.

Many homeowners choose to have us handle scheduled maintenance under a service contract. We’ll conduct thorough multi-point inspections at least twice per year and perform any upkeep required. Don’t hesitate to contact us whether it’s for a quick repair or keeping your fence in top shape over the long run.
