Securing Historic Sites After Winter Damage
After a brutal winter in Berwyn left several construction sites along the Cermak Road Corridor exposed and vulnerable to vandalism, Sal saw firsthand how thawing ground and broken snow fences left historic wood-frame homes in Pyrce Park at risk. One morning, he noticed fresh footprints in the mud near a Queen Anne under renovation—right next to toppled barrier panels. With spring crews eager to restart work but no perimeter protection, materials sat unguarded and neighbors grew uneasy about site safety.
We rolled in before sunrise with OSHA-compliant steel panels and heavy-duty bases designed for soft, thawing soil. Our crew anchored each section securely between mature oaks without disturbing historic landscaping. Within two hours, the site had a continuous, tamper-resistant barrier that matched the neighborhood’s aesthetic—keeping equipment safe and residents at ease. Work resumed that same afternoon with zero delays.
They had us fenced and functional before our first coffee break—no more sleepless nights worrying about stolen tools.
