Get matched with top wood fence repair pros in Chicago, IL

"We always turn to A&M Fence for repairs on our 22-year-old wood fence and they always do exceptional work. This year we had them replace one whole side of the fence around our yard, and we couldn't be more pleased. Not only is the work high-quality, but clean-up is thorough and the entire job was timely. They also know all the requirements for our local permit. Complete pleasure to work with."

"Hired them to replace the wood in our fence. Very quick to respond and get the work scheduled. Excellent quality."

"They responded with the quote quickly & even did aerial view of the fences around me so they knew what was in my area, so I was a little taken back when they gave me a quote attaching my project to the neighbor's fence. The pricing seemed reasonable until they told me they couldn't give me the color I wanted until I changed to a wood fence. This means they did not plan to purchase the materials I needed for my job, I was being given what they had in stock."

"Overall we were happy with the result, but disappointed with the communication. We wanted to finish the partial fence around our backyard, and gave First Fence the specs from our HOA. The estimator was behind and it took a couple weeks before he could come out. My husband waited at home for the estimator on the scheduled day, but he did not even ring the doorbell. My husband called him later in the day and he said he had already been out. My husband would have preferred to discuss the job with him in person while he was here, and was denied that ability. Also, our HOA specs required a 5' fence height, but the existing fencing was actually 6'. The estimator wrote up the quote for 5' per the HOA, and did not even mention that it would be different than the existing fencing (which was merely being continued - it would have looked horrible!). One day while we were considering the quote, I realized the fencing was actually 6'. We called the estimator, and his response was "yeah it's 6', I noticed that." He did not say anything about it to us before, nor did he note it on the estimate. Disappointing. After revising the quote to a 6' fence rather than 5' (increasing the price of course), we decided to move forward with First Fence and made the down-payment. When I asked, the rep said the installation would occur in 4 to 6 weeks. Again, disappointing since we were hoping for a quick installation. As time went on, we did not hear from First Fence at all. Finally, after 4 weeks had passed, I called First Fence and was told they had us on the schedule for a specific date about 2 weeks out on a Wednesday. We began planning for the installation, but then on the Friday before, First Fence called and told us they would install on Monday. That was less convenient and we had to reschedule other things to accommodate on such short notice. The installation of the approximately 130 feet (including 2 gates) was completed in one day. The workers were mostly professional, although one of them told my husband they did not have enough wood, despite the estimator having come out and measured. That was certainly not our fault! (We were not charged extra, but my husband was worried they were trying to blame us.) So the whole thing took a minimum of 8 weeks - 2 weeks for the estimator to come out, then we sat on the estimate for a bit and had it changed, then 6 weeks from returning the signed contract with down-payment to installation. The end result looks great - cedar shadowbox fence that encloses our backyard. I just wish they had communicated more/better. For example, the gate type/size and lock mechanism was not discussed (beyond the basic info on the quote). I wonder now if we had any other choices than what they installed for the mechanism, but it's too late. I would have also appreciated some "caring for your wood fence" guidance/pamphlets so we can protect and care for the beautiful cedar wood. For the price ($5170 before the Angie's List discount, $4653 after), I think they are a bit on the high side. Maybe they were up-quoting us because of the size of our house? But it was difficult to find a reputable fence company in our area. The fence passed local permit inspection a couple days later with no problems. We are now the envy of our neighbors who do not have finished fences. I'm just glad the installation is finally over!"

"We hired Rob to repair some broken slats and both gates on our older wooden fence. He was responsive, professional, and did great work. The amount he charged us was a really good value, especially considering the fact that it took him much longer to complete the work than he thought it would. I would definitely recommend hiring Mending Fences!"

"On August 13th I contacted the Americana Iron Works & Fence company and I began an agreement for them to repair my front entrance railing. I gave them an earlier bad review, which was a wrong review on my part. In lieu of this pandemic it is not unexpected that a company cannot return phone calls or complete giving a date to schedule a project, it is hard sometimes because people can experience staff shortages or may be overwhelmed with the pandemic. Particularly when my project is only 30 days on the books. Also within this 30 day period I gave the company a little stress because they were not returning my calls and there was one occasion where I left an abusive message. The reason I know first review was my fault was because stepping back we are in an unusual situation as a nation. Finally the manager Mike called me and gave me a brief overview of the reasons of their delays which I understood. It was not necessary but he showed humility and concern for me as their customer. Within that conversation he expedited my project and said that he would have someone in that week. He called me on a Monday September 21st at noon, two days later he called me at 8 in the morning and said that he would have a crew between 9-10. Exactly at 9 Miguel arrives, prepared. Mike must have called me at least 5 times assuring me and overseeing what is going on from a distance but I do not know how many times he spoke to Miguel. My service order included sanding and painting the two rails that were repaired and it called for white paint but originally it was lost somehow that I wanted the rails to be painted black but because it was not written up properly I was subject to be charged extra for the color black. Mike said to me that he would call me back after speaking to his boss about what could be done. Good news was as a courtesy I would not be charged extra! Miguel was instructed to go buy the extra supplies and stay longer on the job site to paint the railings black. The reason I have changed my rating to excellent is because this company was not just concerned about the project or the materials but concerned about my happiness and they should have deserved excellent all along! They were already excellent, I just did not know it! One of the things Mike called to ask me was if I was happy and happy was an understatement.! He was not concerned about the final pay that day of the 23rd. I asked if I give his payment to the staff member but he said no he would like to meet me. How many managers do that? I met him today the 24th, he asked me with a mask on if I was happy, I told him I was and I was happy to meet him as well. This company is concerned about the human factor and that is why I am changing my rating because of their customer service and customer satisfaction. - Daniel N. in Berwyn"

"James is very detail oriented and was the only one of the four individuals to provide estimates that checked under the back porch for rot which was there and definitely would have added to the cost, however, he found it and accounted for it. In doing the job, James is very passionate about his work and makes sure that it is done right.  His work with wood is exceptional."
