Fence Services in Elk Grove Village, IL
Few Chicagoland suburbs are split as cleanly as Elk Grove Village. When the town was planned in the mid-1900s, its founders set the east side aside for industry and kept the west side for homes, a decision that grew into the largest business park in North America, with thousands of companies working alongside quiet residential streets just a few blocks away. It's a place where a family fence and a commercial security fence can be needed on the same afternoon.
First Fence Company is a family-owned fence company that has served the greater Chicago area since 1989, and we install residential, commercial, and specialty fences across Elk Grove Village, from a backyard near Busse Woods to a warehouse perimeter off Tonne Road. Whether you're a homeowner closing off the yard for the kids and the dog, or a facility manager securing a loading area, our fence installers will help you find the right structure and build it to last.

Why Elk Grove Village Homeowners and Businesses Call First Fence
As a fence contractor in Elk Grove Village, we bring more than 100 fencing styles and 35-plus years of local experience to every project. Much of our work still comes by word-of-mouth referral, which tells you how we like to do business. We get to know your property, walk you through your options, and install fencing we'd be proud to put our name on.
Elk Grove Village asks a lot of a fence. On the residential west side, lots sit close together and many back up to busier corridors or the edge of the business district, so privacy and a clean finished look matter. On the industrial east side, the priorities shift to security, durability, and controlled access. And because O'Hare sits right next door, a taller, solid fence often does double duty by cutting down on noise. We've built for all of it, and we're glad to be the fencing service Elk Grove Village turns to for the job.
Residential Fences in Elk Grove Village
Every yard is a little different, so we start with what you want the fence to do, whether that's to add privacy, keep pets and kids safe, dress up the front of the house, or simply mark the line. Here are the residential options we install most often.
Custom-Designed Fences
When a standard panel won't quite fit your lot, your home's style, or a tricky grade, we design and build a fence to suit. This is the right path for combination fences, unusual layouts, and homeowners who want something one-of-a-kind.
Wood Fences
We install Western Red Cedar, a naturally beautiful, weather-resistant wood that ages gracefully and takes stain well. Cedar is a favorite for privacy fencing on Elk Grove Village's close-set lots.
Vinyl (PVC) Fences
For homeowners who want a low maintenance fence, vinyl is hard to beat. It won't need painting or staining, wipes clean, and holds its color through Chicago winters and humid summers alike.
Composite Fences
Composite combines the warmth of wood with real durability. It resists pests and moisture, stands up to the weather, and offers a rich, modern look with very little upkeep.
Chain Link Fences
Practical, affordable, and long-lasting, chain link is a dependable way to enclose a yard, a garden, or a dog run. It's a smart pick when you want security and low maintenance without blocking the view.
Aluminum Fences
Aluminum fencing gives you the elegant look of iron with far less maintenance. Powder-coated and rust-resistant, it's popular for front yards, pool areas, and anywhere curb appeal counts, and it comes in a range of styles from flat-top to spear-top.
Ornamental Steel Fences
For a stronger, more substantial version of that classic wrought-iron look, ornamental steel adds security and a high-end finish that suits both traditional and modern homes.
Iron Fences
Timeless and distinctive, a wrought iron fence brings real character and craftsmanship to a property. It's the choice for homeowners who want a decorative, enduring statement at the property line.
Gate Installation
A fence is only as good as its gate. We handle gate installation in Elk Grove Village for every fence we build, including walk gates, double drive gates, and pool gates with self-closing, self-latching hardware that keeps little ones on the right side of the fence. If your existing gate sags, sticks, or won't latch, we can repair or replace that too.
Fencing for Families, Pets, and Pools
A lot of Elk Grove Village calls come from parents and dog owners who simply want a safe, enclosed yard. We'll help you choose a height and picket spacing that fits your family, including aluminum with puppy pickets to keep smaller dogs from slipping through, and set gates that latch securely every time.
For pool owners, we offer pool fence installation that's designed to meet local safety requirements, with self-closing, self-latching gates. In Elk Grove Village, pool barrier requirements are handled as part of the swimming pool permit rather than a separate fence permit, so it helps to plan the fence and the pool together, especially if you're working toward an inspection date. We'll coordinate with your timeline so the barrier is ready when you need it.
Commercial Fence Installation in Elk Grove Village
Elk Grove Village is home to thousands of businesses, and few fence companies know its commercial side the way we do. We provide commercial fence installation for warehouses, manufacturers, offices, retail sites, and multi-unit residential properties throughout the village and its business park.
Industrial & Recreational Fencing
Heavy-duty chain link and perimeter fencing built to protect equipment, inventory, outdoor storage, and parking areas, and to hold up to daily use on a working site.
Security & Perimeter Fencing
For properties that need a stronger deterrent, we install taller commercial-grade chain link and ornamental steel perimeter systems.
Access Control & Automated Gates
Slide and swing gate operators, keypads, and controlled-entry systems let you manage who comes and goes without slowing down your operation.
Dumpster & Equipment Enclosures
Clean, durable screening that keeps refuse areas and equipment out of sight and meets property standards.
Pergolas, Trellises & Custom Woodworking
Beyond fencing, our custom woodworking team builds pergolas, trellises, and other structures to finish out a patio, courtyard, or commercial entrance.
Property managers and business owners can expect detailed proposals, clear communication, proof of insurance, and scheduling that works around your operations. Phased work is available when a large project needs to be spread out over time.
Fence Repair & Replacement in Elk Grove Village
Not every fence needs to come down. If a storm, a delivery truck, or simply age has left your fence leaning, sagging, or broken, we offer fence repair in Elk Grove Village that includes replacing posts and panels, straightening runs, and fixing gates. Chicago-area wind storms are a common culprit, and we can usually get a damaged fence secure again quickly.
When a fence is past saving, we handle full fence replacement as well, removing the old materials and installing something built to last. If you're not sure which way to go, we'll give you an honest assessment rather than push you toward the bigger job.
Permits and Elk Grove Village Fence Code
A little planning up front keeps a fence project on track. In Elk Grove Village, residential fences are generally limited to six feet in height along the property line, and fences aren't permitted in the front yard or ahead of the building setback line. If your lot backs up to a business or industrial district, an eight-foot fence may be allowed to screen that boundary. Corner lots and unusual situations are reviewed case by case, so it's always worth confirming the specifics with the village's Community Development Department at Village Hall before you build.
Most residential fence projects here require a permit and a completed inspection. First Fence can help with the permit process, but we don't handle every step for you. We prepare the drawings, the plat of survey, and the material details you'll need for the application; you submit the application and obtain the permit yourself, since it's issued in the property owner's name.

Fencing Services in Elk Grove Village FAQs
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Elk Grove Village?
Yes, most residential fence projects in Elk Grove Village require a permit and a final inspection. First Fence prepares the drawings, plat of survey, and material details for your application, but the property owner submits the application and obtains the permit, since it's issued in the owner's name. We're glad to point you in the right direction with the village's Community Development Department.
How tall can my fence be in Elk Grove Village?
Residential fences are generally limited to six feet along the property line, and front-yard fences aren't permitted. If your lot abuts a business or industrial district, an eight-foot fence may be allowed to screen that boundary. Because corner lots and special cases are reviewed individually, we recommend confirming your specific limits with the village before installation.
What kind of wood fences do you install?
We install Western Red Cedar, a naturally durable, good-looking wood that weathers well and takes stain nicely. If you've come across pressure-treated pine in your research, it's a fair thing to ask about, we're happy to talk through the wood options with you so you can choose what's right for your home.
Can First Fence handle commercial fencing in the Elk Grove Village business park?
Absolutely. We install commercial and industrial fencing throughout Elk Grove Village, including heavy-duty chain link, ornamental steel perimeter fencing, security fencing, automated and access-controlled gates, and dumpster enclosures. We provide detailed proposals, proof of insurance, and scheduling that works around your operations.
Do you install pool fences that meet code?
Yes. We install pool fencing designed to meet local safety requirements, with self-closing, self-latching gates. In Elk Grove Village, the pool barrier is addressed as part of the swimming pool permit rather than a separate fence permit, so we'll help you plan the fence and pool together, handy when you're working toward an inspection deadline.
My fence was damaged in a storm, can you repair it?
In most cases, yes. We repair leaning and storm-damaged fences across Elk Grove Village, replacing broken posts and panels, straightening runs, and fixing gates. If the fence is too far gone to save, we'll tell you honestly and can handle a full replacement instead.
