I have been involved in trades since the early 1990's. I returned to college, at the age of 32, to earn a degree in trade sciences and received a B.S. in 2005. I am a Jack of all trades so to speak. if I look at a project and don't feel comfortable that I can do a professional job, I will gladly recommend someone that is qualified for free.

I have been a general contractor for 15 years now owner and operator of hoyt construction for 1 year now. I have done everything from new home construction to finishing carpenter. I can do drywall, flooring, tile. I can do fencing, decks, sunrooms and even full kitchen remodels. I have always told myself to do every job like I would if I was working in my own house. I think that's what sets me apart from other construction companies. I have always said I can also beat anyone's price almost every time.

Free computer drafting with general knowlege of design. I have 30 years experience in building houses. I am familiar with local subcontractors. I can get any job done at a reasonable cost.

"The work was done properly and when some additional jobs were added, Mr Grant went out of his way to get subcontractor's in to fix the added jobs promptly. I was very happy with the results and would recommend Steven Grant Construction to anyone who needed a prompt quote and a properly done job. He took the extra steps to finish my job within the quote so I stayed on budget."

FAQs for projects in Normal, IL

A shadowbox fence arranges boards on alternating sides of the rails with small gaps between them, creating an identical appearance from both sides while allowing some airflow between the boards. Standard privacy fences place all boards on one side with no gaps, creating a solid barrier. The shadowbox design requires more lumber to achieve the alternating pattern, but provides the benefit of an attractive appearance for both the homeowner and neighbors.

Installation timelines depend on the length of your fence, site conditions, and weather factors. Professional fence contractors can complete standard residential projects efficiently, while DIY installations require more time, especially if you're learning the techniques or working alone. Factors like rocky soil, slope challenges, or the need for multiple gates can extend the timeline for any installation project.

Maintenance requirements vary by material choice. Pressure-treated lumber requires the most attention, needing to be stained or sealed every two to three years. Cedar and redwood need treatment every three to five years. Composite and vinyl options require minimal maintenance, with only occasional cleaning needed. All fence types benefit from periodic inspections to address any developing issues before they worsen.

Shadowbox fences perform well in windy conditions because their design allows some air to pass through the spaces between boards, reducing the overall wind pressure on the structure. This partial airflow makes them less susceptible to wind damage than solid privacy fences. For maximum stability in particularly windy locations, ensure posts are properly set according to recommended depths based on your fence height.
