FENCE FAQ

There are many various kinds we install. Aluminum, steel, composite, vinyl, cedar, pine, chain link, you name it!

We can put up vinyl, metal, chain lin, steel, composite, and pressure treated pine fences. We use nails, rails, concrete, and posts to build the fences. Sometimes there are post caps and decorative toppers such as lattice included.

This all depends on your municipal code. From our experience, most Illinois towns don't allow any fence to be taller than 6' tall unless backed up to a major road or thoroughfare. These roads are often designated on the village website based on the amount of traffic and if they are considered "major" roads or not. Some towns, such as Schaumburg, only allow a maximum of 5' tall fences.

In most cases, you must build your new fence within 6" of your property line. This can often be stated in the municipal code itself. Building a fence along a property line is considered a "perimeter fence" so it needs to be close to the property line. Your fence CANNOT be over the property line on to a neighbor's property or public property. 

It takes one to three days for most full yards. If the job is a partial installation, should just be 1 day. If there is no removal of an existing fence, 1-2 days. Sometimes it can take up to a week for larger projects and bad weather which causes unforeseen delays. Winter extends these timeframes due to limited daylight conditions and cold weather.

It really depends on how you want your fence to look, and what you need it to do. Do you need it to be strong and dense? Wood is a better choice. Are you more interested in upkeep and longevity? In those cases, vinyl is a better choice.

Vinyl fence, also called PVC fencing, looks like plastic, because it is. To see more photos of vinyl fencing we've installed, please visit our vinyl fence page or our photo gallery.

You can get the best deals in early Spring or late fall, before the winter. During these changing seasons, we often run promotions of new fence installations.

The most valuable thing you can do for your home is have a new fence installed. Vinyl, composite, or stained wood would add the most value. Having said that, putting up a new fence in general will make the house worth more, especially compared to house that doesn't have a fence at all. Many families today have kids and/or dogs so the need for a fence is a crucial necessity, hence increasing the value of your home.

Fences are built with rails, which are the horizontal tubes or boards, depending on the material. For instance a chain link fence has a horizontal top rail, while a wood fence has 2-3 horizontal rails. These horizontal rails should be facing towards your home if its your fence. The horizontal rails will face the neighbor's house, if the fence belongs to your neighbors.

Illinois Fence Law, or the "good neighbor law" states that any fence that shares a boundary, for instance a perimeter fence, with another neighbor, you are both responsible for maintainence of the fence. It also states that both neighbors must share in the responsibility of installation of a new fence. This applies to all counties in Illinois with less than 1 million population. What that means that it applies to all counties except Cook County. Read more here
