Fence Cost in Mount Prospect, IL — By Material & Post Type
Not all fences are built the same. In Mount Prospect, where freeze-thaw cycles put serious stress on posts every winter, the material and post you choose matters as much as the boards. Here's what each option costs — and what you're actually getting for the money.
Cedar + PostMaster® Post
Steel core, cedar boards — built to outlast Illinois winters
PostMaster® posts are galvanized steel with a wood sleeve — the look of a traditional wood fence with a steel core that will never rot, crack, or lean. Paired with premium Western Red Cedar boards.
- Steel core eliminates post rot
- Naturally rot & insect resistant cedar
- Backed by a lifetime post warranty
- Looks like a traditional wood fence
Cedar + Black Galvanized Post
Sharp contrast finish — the upscale backyard upgrade
Black powder-coated galvanized posts paired with natural cedar boards create a high-contrast look that stands out on any block. The galvanized steel core resists rust far longer than a standard wood post.
- Powder-coat resists chipping & rust
- Outlasts wood posts by 15–20 years
- Pairs beautifully with stained cedar
- Popular upgrade from old wood fences
Pressure-Treated Wood Fence
Solid, reliable, and easy on the budget
Pressure-treated pine is chemically treated to resist rot, insects, and moisture. With proper sealing every 2–3 years, a treated wood fence in Mount Prospect can last 15–20 years.
- $10–$15 less per foot than cedar
- Treated for moisture, rot & insects
- Can be painted or stained any color
- Same board-by-board build quality
Vinyl Picket Fence
Never paint it. Never seal it. Never worry about it.
Vinyl fencing holds up to Mount Prospect winters without warping, cracking, or rotting — and never needs painting, staining, or sealing. Clean it once a year with a garden hose.
- No painting or sealing — ever
- UV inhibitors prevent fading
- Won't warp in freeze-thaw cycles
- Multiple styles and colors available
