RESIDENTIAL FENCE AND GATE CONTRACTOR IN the CHICAGOLAND and Northwest Indiana area

A fence is more than just a boundary around your property. It adds privacy, improves security, enhances your home’s appearance, and gives you a finished outdoor space you can enjoy for years to come. Since your fence is an investment that will be part of your property for decades, finding the right residential fence contractor matters.

Consider working with Fence Masters. From our beginnings as a two-person company in 1983 to becoming the largest fence contractor in the Midwest, we’ve installed more than 50,000 fences backed by quality workmanship,

Does Your Home Need a Fence?

Every homeowner has different reasons for considering a residential fence, but the goal is often the same: creating a property that works better for the way you live. At Fence Masters, we frequently install residential fences for homeowners who:

• Want more backyard privacy. Nearby homes, busy streets, exposed patios, or open yard lines make it hard to relax outside, and you want a more private outdoor space.
• Have children or dogs that need a safely enclosed yard. You want your kids or pets to have more room to play while maintaining a clear, secure boundary around the property.
• Need to replace an old, damaged, or failing fence. Your current fence is leaning, rotting, rusting, storm-damaged, or outdated, and you need a replacement that better fits the property.
• Are updating a yard as part of a larger exterior project. Landscaping, a new patio, a pool, or a hot tub has changed how you use your backyard, and you need fencing that finishes and protects the space.
• Want to clearly define a property boundary. An open yard, unclear lot line, shared space, or ongoing neighbor disputes have you looking for a more visible, lasting boundary.
• Want to improve curb appeal. You want a fence that looks intentional and complements your home, not one that simply closes off the yard.

Whatever your reason for looking into a new fence, our team is ready to help. Browse our photo gallery to see examples of our workmanship and imagine what Fence Masters can create for your property.

Gates and Gate Operators

A fence is only as functional as its access points. That’s why we also install gates that match your fence material and your home’s aesthetic. Whether you need an entry point for a yard, pool, driveway, or farm, we have you covered. Our gate operators range from keypad and keyless entry to motion-sensor technology, so you can open and close your gate without leaving your car or interrupting what you’re doing.

What Fencing Does Your Home Need?

Every home is different, and the right fence for yours will depend on a few key factors specific to your property and lifestyle:

• Privacy: How much visual coverage do you need from neighbors, streets, or nearby buildings?
• Security: Are you protecting a pool, containing pets, or securing a perimeter?
• Appearance: Do you want a classic picket look, a sleek modern line, or ornamental detail?
• Maintenance: Are you willing to stain and seal wood periodically, or do you prefer a material that needs almost no upkeep?
• Lifespan: How long do you want the fence to last before replacement or major repair?
• Budget: What are your installation costs and long-term upkeep expenses?
• Weather Resistance: How well does the material hold up against wind, snow, and humidity?
• Pet and Child Containment: Does the design prevent gaps that small pets or children could slip through?

Our team walks you through these trade-offs so you land on a fence that fits your property and your budget.
