Servicing the North Shore and the North Side of the city . Fenceworks is a family owned business that has been around the North Shore since 1967. We specialize in Western Red Cedar Fencing, Aluminum, PVC, Chain Link.

"About 15 years ago, we purchased a swing set for our yard. Our kids and the neighborhood kids spent hours playing outside on it. Now that we are selling our home, we are leaving behind the set, and I have to believe that its presence in the yard helped the sale price. Truly a great long-term investment, that brought countless memories to our family."

We are committed to providing a great price, a great product, and great customer service without sacrificing quality. Our family started in 1992, and has since built a excellent reputation for service & quality in fencing and Yard products industry. We offer year round service so there is always someone to assist in the design or creation of superior products. The Aztec Fence family is proudly serving the entire Illinois & Wisconsin markets. Our staff is fully licensed, bonded and insured, and has received multiple awards for service from the BBB. We have many sizes, styles and colors available.

"We contacted Aztec to quote removal of existing and installation of a new fence. We set up an appointment for a few weeks later. About a week before our appointment there were new restrictions due to Coronavirus, so we called Aztec to confirm they were still meeting us the following Monday. Well, Monday came and we waited and waited. Finally called Aztec, and they told us they had no record of any appointments in our city. Very frustrating, because we came from out of town to make this appointment, and our neighbor also cleared his calendar so we could all meet. Since this is the way Aztec handles (or doesn't handle!) appointments, I can't imagine how well they would handle the actual job."

At EcoClean Roof, we pride ourselves on providing a roof washing service that is not only effective but also environmentally friendly. Serving the North Chicagoland area, we utilize safe, sustainable ingredients instead of harmful chemicals. This commitment ensures the protection of your plants and animals while delivering a spotless roof. Choose us for a cleaner home and a healthier planet. After brushing off loose dirt and moss from your roof, your gutters will be cleaned at no additional cost. Contractors can sometimes charge $200+ for this service alone. We then spray on a soft wash solution to the entire roof that removes brown, yellow, green, and black stains. Soft washing was invented to replace pressure washing, which was found to cause streaks, damage paint, and tears the circular granules off the roof shingle surface. Shingle granules are designed to provide grip, fire prevention, and snow dissipation. An alternative needed to be created. Although soft washing was the solution that was developed to replace pressure washing, traditional chemicals like diluted Bleach and Chlorine were used. These chemicals are harmful to skin, clothes, pets, and plants even in small amounts. These chemicals leak off the roof, down rain spouts, and contaminate the things we hold dear as homeowners. Our company promises to never use chlorine or bleach. We use a custom ordered organic mixture of hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, which is safe for people, pets, and plants. This is the Eco Clean difference.

"The house had never been cleaned before. It had gone to the dogs! The service restored its luster and beauty. I love my house now. It feels great. Thank you Eco Clean Roof. I would definitely recommend this service."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should confirm that the fencing installer you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. In most cases they do not need a specific fencing license, but rather a general contractor’s license. Hiring a licensed contractor protects you as a homeowner from fraud, poor work, and potential legal woes.  

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Licensing and certification are not necessary.

Answered by Regino Adrian Pizarro at LDFY Fence Repair and Services, LLC in Denver, CO on 01/21/25

Before you hire a fence installer to build you the fence of your dreams for your yard, it’s important to set expectations up front by asking questions. Some questions to consider include: 

  • Do you offer a warranty?

  • Do you offer financing or a payment plan?

  • Do you have references?

  • Do you have photos of previous work?

  • What type of fencing materials do you work with?

Answered by Angi Experts

Endorsed by 41 pros


Do you have references? 

Are all fasteners exterior (galvanized)?

How deep are you concreting the post?

What is the lowest maintenance fencing?

How will you deal with slopes?

Answered by Chris Yancey at Yantons Outdoor Living LLC in Beavercreek, OH on 01/07/25

Only some fences require a permit to build. Factors like where you live, how tall your fence will be, and where in your yard you plan to build all impact the need to have a permit. Below are a few examples of when a permit is needed; it’s always best to check with your fence installer to confirm if a permit is required.

Generally, if you live somewhere rural, like on a farm, there’s a good chance you will not need a fence permit. However, you will most likely need a permit if you live in a highly-populated area. In addition, many privacy fences in your backyard won’t need a permit if it is 6 feet or shorter. However, you might need a permit for anything over 3.5 feet in your front yard.

Any solid panels over 8 feet in height will require a permit, while a 2-foot lattice top on a 6-foot fence does not require a permit. 

Answered by Connor Andrews at Craftsman Fence, LLC in Kirkland, WA on 01/22/25


Permit requirements can vary, so it's best to check with your county and municipality. Your fence contractor should be able to help confirm the specific requirements.

Answered by Carlos Martinez at CLM Home Improvements in New Carrollton, MD on 01/20/25


If you are digging in the ground, then yes. If it's just a repair with no digging, then no.

Answered by Terri Webb at Webb's Fencing & Repairs, Inc. in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 01/17/25

The average cost to install a fence is between $1,760 and $4,500. These costs are what an average homeowner spends, but you might spend more or less depending on several factors. For a smaller DIY project, you might get away with spending as little as $430, or for a much larger project (like fencing for a 5-acre yard), you can spend in excess of $43,000

Besides the size of your yard, other factors like your fence material, fence height, site prep, and additional fence features like gates all impact the overall cost. Additionally, the high cost of raw materials and manufacturing can all make the overall price tag higher.

The overall cost of a fence project depends on numerous factors, including the size of your yard, fence material, fence height, site preparation, and additional features like gates.

Answered by Carlos Martinez at CLM Home Improvements in New Carrollton, MD on 01/20/25


Specific pricing varies drastically based on material choices and options. Length of fence, height, and gate options all are contributing factors that will determine the overall cost of a fence. Typically a per foot price can be given that ranges from $20-$50 per linear foot for installations.

Answered by Todd Rosier at A Plus Fencing Solutions in Yakima, WA on 01/08/25


It all depends on the specifications of the fence, such as linear footage, gate installations, demolition and haul-off, and other factors.

Answered by Connor Andrews at Craftsman Fence, LLC in Kirkland, WA on 01/22/25


It depends on the type of fence, the scope of work, and other factors.

Answered by Terri Webb at Webb's Fencing & Repairs, Inc. in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 01/17/25

Fence installers typically charge by the hour when working on a project. Typically, you can expect to pay around $50 per hour for fence installation. Your project might take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the length of your fence, overall project complexity, and fence type.
