Common Questions About Fencing in Evanston

Do I need a permit for a new fence in Evanston? +

Yes, Evanston requires a building permit for all new fences. Unlike generic 'fence companies near me' that leave you to handle the paperwork, we assist with the Evanston Citizens Portal application, ensuring your Plat of Survey is correctly marked and your permit is approved quickly.

How deep do you dig the fence posts? +

To prevent "heaving" during Illinois winters, we dig our post holes at least 32 to 36 inches deep. This ensures the post is below the frost line, keeping your fence straight and sturdy for years to come.

Do you remove and haul away my old fence? +

Absolutely. We provide a full-service experience. We will tear down your existing fence, haul away all debris, and even remove the dirt from the new post holes so your yard in Evanston looks better than when we arrived.

What is the difference between your wood fences and big-box store panels? +

We never use pre-made panels. We build every fence "board-by-board" on-site. This allows us to use higher-quality Western Red Cedar and heavy-duty screws (not nails), resulting in a fence that is significantly stronger and perfectly follows the slope of your land.
