We offer custom-made wood fences, vinyl fences and more, built to meet your specific needs. Our high-quality, custom-designed fences are tailored to suit your property and style. Share your ideas with us, and we’ll create the ideal fencing solution for you.
WOOD FENCES
A wood fence usually starts with a practical problem. You may need to enclose the yard for a dog or young children, create privacy from a neighbor’s second-story deck, or replace a fence that came through last winter leaning and weathered. In other cases, a new home simply needs the boundary it never had. Whatever brings you to the project, the questions are usually the same: Which style makes sense? What type of wood should you choose? How much will it cost?
VINYL (PVC) FENCES
If your idea of fence maintenance is not doing any, vinyl fencing is hard to beat. This is a great option for homeowners who want a fence they can install once and largely forget about with no spring staining, no scraping and sealing, and no wondering whether another season of Chicago weather has finally taken its toll. With vinyl, a quick cleaning is usually all it takes to keep the fence looking fresh year after year.
COMPOSITE FENCES
We offer high quality modern fencing for the residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Looking for a fence that combines aesthetics with durability and requires very little maintenance? Then welcome to wood plastic composite (WPC) fence solutions, an increasingly desirable, modern and practical alternative to more traditional fence options such as lumber.
CHAIN LINK FENCES
Whether you call it chain link, cyclone fencing, or simply a wire fence, the reason this style has been a Chicago-area staple for generations is because it works. Chain link fencing gives you a durable, practical way to define your property, keep pets and kids safely contained, secure equipment, or protect a commercial site, without the upkeep that comes with wood.
ALUMINUM FENCES
If you want the elegant, open look of wrought iron without the cost and upkeep, aluminum fencing is hard to beat. Its clean architectural lines add curb appeal while providing a durable perimeter for your property. Because aluminum won’t rust and its powder-coated finish holds up to the elements, you get years of attractive, low-maintenance performance without the sanding, staining, or painting that other fence materials may require.
ORNAMENTAL STEEL FENCES
For unmatched elegance, a decorative steel fence is the perfect choice for homes or businesses. Whether enclosing an estate, park or apartment complex, ornamental fences offer maintenance-free beauty, durability and a professional look. Available in various designs, these fences feature welded steel construction for added strength. First Fence Company is proud to be Chicagoland’s leading ornamental fence provider, offering steel fences that will last for years to come.
IRON RAILINGS AND FENCES
There’s a reason iron remains one of the most distinctive fencing materials ever made. Slender pickets, substantial gates, custom scrollwork and carefully crafted details give an iron fence a presence that few other materials can match. It can complement a historic Chicago greystone, define the entrance to an estate, or add a refined architectural touch to a modern property. More than a barrier, a well-designed iron fence becomes part of the property itself.
WE DO MORE THAN JUST FENCES!
You’ll quickly learn that First Fence Company is more than your trusted fencing company in Chicagoland — thanks to the wood-working expertise of our commercial fence contractors, we are also the company you can trust to create beautiful pergolas, trellises and other custom wood structures.
PILLARS

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I enhance my outdoor space on a budget?
To enhance your outdoor space on a budget, consider affordable fencing options like chain link or wood panel fences. Chain link is durable, low-maintenance, and one of the most cost-effective choices.
What should I do to prepare for my free estimate appointment?
To prepare for your free estimate with First Fence Company, have your plat of survey ready for our consultant. This legal document shows your property lines and helps us ensure accurate planning. It is also required when applying for a fence permit through your local city or village. Having this document on hand will allow us to provide you with an efficient, precise estimate tailored to your needs.
What is the installation process?
The installation process begins with obtaining necessary permits for your fence. Once permits are in place, prepare your property by reviewing the property lines and clearing the area. Haul away any dirt or debris as needed. Our team will then proceed to install your fence, ensuring everything is aligned and securely placed. After installation, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough to make sure the project meets your expectations and specifications.

Residential Fence Installation Services Across Chicagoland
Since 1989, First Fence has installed residential fences throughout Chicagoland from our location at 4900 Harrison Street in Hillside, IL. Much of our work takes us to the western suburbs, where we have years of experience working with local properties, soil conditions and municipal fence regulations.
Fence requirements vary from one town to another. In Naperville, for example, homeowners may need a permit before installing a backyard fence, and height limits depend on the location and applicable rules. Oak Park and River Forest have their own requirements for front yards and certain historic areas. Property owners also need to consider property lines, fence height, material restrictions and which side of the fence faces the neighboring property.
Before installation, we review the applicable local requirements, coordinate permit details and contact JULIE to have underground utility lines marked before digging. Our crews also account for local frost conditions when setting fence posts, helping create a stable fence that holds up through seasonal changes.
The right fence depends on your property, how you use your yard and the amount of upkeep you prefer. Cedar wood fencing is a popular choice for backyard privacy, while aluminum fencing works well around pools and open yards. Vinyl fencing offers another option for homeowners who want the look of a finished fence without regular staining. For front yards and decorative boundaries, ornamental iron fencing adds a classic appearance while keeping sightlines open.
