fences that look authentic
Residential Fencing in Chicago, IL
We install wood, vinyl, aluminum, composite, and chain link fences for homes throughout Chicago and the surrounding communities. We also handle gate installation and gate automation.
Still the most common choice in Chicago's bungalow belts and older neighborhoods. Wood gives you flexibility on height and style, and when it's installed right, it looks good for years. We do privacy fences, picket fences, and custom designs. Staining or sealing is on you to keep up, we'll tell you what to expect
Low maintenance, consistent look, holds up to Chicago winters without rotting. Vinyl privacy fences are popular in neighborhoods where backyards are tight and neighbors are close. We also do semi-privacy and picket-style vinyl for front yards and corner lots.
For front yards, garden borders, or anywhere you want a defined perimeter without blocking the view. Aluminum is lightweight and rust resistant. Ornamental steel gives you more weight and a more traditional iron look. Both are long-lasting options for Chicago's climate.
Composite has the appearance of wood without the upkeep. If you like the look of wood fencing but don't want to deal with sealing or repainting every few years, composite is worth the higher upfront cost.
Practical, durable, and a lot more affordable than other materials. Chain link is used in Chicago yards often for dog runs, side yards, utility areas, and alley-facing boundaries. We offer standard galvanized and vinyl-coated options.
We install manual and automatic gates to match whatever fence you have. Driveway gates, walkway gates, single and double configurations. Automation systems are available for remote access, useful for driveways that get regular use or for households that just want the convenience.
We also build deer fencing for properties with yard or garden issues, and custom dog kennels for homeowners who want a dedicated space for their animals, designed to keep them secure without taking over the whole yard.
We repair leaning posts, broken panels, sagging gates, and storm damage. Sometimes a targeted repair is all you need. Other times, especially with older wood fences, a full replacement is more cost-effective in the long run. We'll give you a straight answer on which one makes sense.

Commercial Fencing in Chicago, IL
Commercial fencing jobs are different from residential ones. The scale is bigger, the specs are tighter, the coordination is more involved, and there’s usually someone above you waiting on a report. We’ve been doing this long enough to understand how property managers and facilities teams think, as well as how we can best work with them to find a commercial fencing solution.
We work with property management companies, restaurant chains, industrial facilities, warehouses, and office buildings throughout the Chicago metro area. Here’s what we cover:
Chain link, steel, and ornamental options for securing the outer edge of a commercial property. We design layouts around traffic flow, access needs, and the type of facility as a warehouse has different requirements than a parking structure. Installation is done to code, with documentation available for your insurance or compliance team.
Heavy-duty fencing for factories, distribution centers, and high-traffic sites. These installations need to stand up to daily use, equipment contact, and Chicago's winters. We use materials specified for the application, not just what's cheapest.
Automated gate systems, gate operators, and access control integration for commercial properties. We can install slide gates, swing gates, and single and double configurations. Systems can be tied into existing access control setups or installed as standalone solutions. We handle the physical installation including hardware, wiring coordination, and final testing.
For property managers with ongoing needs, we offer scheduled maintenance that includes inspections, minor repairs, gate adjustments, and addressing issues before they turn into bigger problems. We can work around tenant schedules and document the work if you need records for ownership or your board.
For storefronts, parking lots, and any area where vehicle intrusion is a concern. We install standard and decorative bollards to manage traffic flow and protect structures.
For construction sites, outdoor events, or seasonal needs. Installed fast, removed when the job's done.
We have on-site welding capability for custom metalwork, repairs to iron or steel fences, and fabrication work that can't be handled with standard parts. Useful for older ornamental fences or custom commercial installs that need something built to spec.
