Our Fencing Services

Residential Fence Installation

We install custom fences for homes, tailored to your yard’s layout and design preferences. Choose from wood, vinyl, aluminum, or composite fencing for aesthetics and durability that match your property’s needs. We also offer multiple design options that complement both modern and traditional home styles across Central Illinois.

Privacy Fence Construction

We offer full privacy fencing solutions ideal for Tolono or St. Joseph suburban homes. Privacy fences are perfect for families seeking a more secluded backyard, blocking views from busy streets or neighboring properties. We provide a variety of designs, including solid wood panels, vinyl privacy fencing, and decorative lattice tops to suit your desired level of seclusion.

Custom Fence Design

We design fences to fit architectural styles, lot dimensions, and personal preferences. Our custom designs blend functionality with style, offering options like ornamental wrought iron, split-rail for rural properties, or composite materials for modern homes. Every custom fence is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring it becomes a true asset to your property.

Fence Repair and Maintenance

We handle all fencing repairs, from storm damage to wood rot. Whether your fence has suffered from high winds, vehicle impact, or simple aging, our team can replace damaged sections, reinforce weak posts, and reseal wooden fences to extend their lifespan. Routine maintenance packages are also available to keep your fence looking fresh year-round.


Benefits of Professional Fencing Services

Professional fencing contractors ensure the fence is installed correctly, considering soil conditions, property lines, and structural integrity. This leads to a longer-lasting fence that can withstand weather, wear, and daily use without premature failure. Their expertise minimizes common installation errors that could compromise the fence’s stability over time.

This creates a safe environment where you and your family can relax without concerns of prying eyes or unwanted access.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does fence installation take in Champaign?

     Most standard installations take 2 to 5 days, depending on the size, material, and site conditions. Weather and permitting requirements may add time. Larger projects or custom designs may take slightly longer. We always provide a detailed timeline during the initial consultation to set clear expectations.

  • Do I need a permit to install a fence in Champaign County?

     Yes, fencing projects require permits in most areas like Champaign, Urbana, and Savoy. We handle all necessary documentation for compliance. Local codes often regulate height, placement, and material, so obtaining proper permits helps ensure your fence is built legally and safely.

  • What fence materials work best for Illinois weather?

    Wood, vinyl, and metal fencing all perform well. We recommend treated wood or powder-coated steel for weather resistance in the Champaign climate. Illinois’ temperature swings, high winds, and moisture levels require materials that resist warping, rust, and decay for long-term durability.

  • Can you repair just a portion of my fence?

     Absolutely. We offer section-by-section repair services for wood, vinyl, and metal fencing, extending the life of your investment without a full replacement. Our expert technicians carefully match existing materials and finishes to ensure seamless repairs that maintain your fence’s appearance.

  • How high can my fence be in residential zones?

     In most Champaign-area neighborhoods, residential fences can be up to 6 feet in backyards and 4 feet in front yards. Local ordinances apply. Some homeowner associations may have additional restrictions, which we review during the planning process to ensure full compliance.

  • Do you offer staining or sealing services?

     Yes, we provide staining and sealing for wood fences in areas like Mahomet and Rantoul. These services protect your fence and enhance its appearance. Regular sealing helps prevent moisture damage, UV fading, and cracking, significantly extending the lifespan of your wooden fence.

  • What’s the most cost-effective fencing option?

    Chain-link fencing offers the most affordable solution for large areas. Vinyl is a low-maintenance mid-range choice suitable for many homes in Urbana. The choice often depends on the balance between budget, aesthetic preference, and maintenance needs, which we help evaluate during consultations.

  • Can you install a fence in the winter?

    While it is possible, frozen ground can make winter installations in Illinois more difficult. Spring through fall is the optimal time for installation. Warmer temperatures allow for better post setting, faster project completion, and ideal conditions for long-term fence stability.
