Established in 1983. Fence Masters has since turned into ChicagoLands & Northern Indiana's largest vinyl fence dealer With over 10,000 Vinyl, Aluminum, Wrought Iron, Chain Link, and Wood fences professionally installed, we service the: Residential - Commercial - Industrial market needs.
"They installed a vinyl fence on my property late last year. The fence came out fine but they dumped the excess stone/concrete used in securing the fence posts into my neighbors yard behind some bushes. Needless to say he wasn't happy about it and neither was I. I called Fence Masters on several occasions, left multiple messages and spoke with a handful of different people, including one foreman (or whatever his title was) who said that he was going to come out and make it right and that they didn't do business like that and so on and so forth. Well, he never showed. I called again afterward and left another message for him. He never returned the message. They also forgot to put their company sign on the fence. Normally I wouldn't care, but the workmanship warranty states that the sign must be present for the warranty to be in effect. I told them about this during my calls as well, but they didn't do anything about it. The bottom line is that the company is completely unprofessional. Installing a fence isn't rocket science, there are plenty of companies out there that will get the job done right. If you want one that is customer service oriented and conducts itself in a professional manor, Fence Masters isn't it. I will never hire them again."

Composite decking stands up to weather, insects, and daily wear without the yearly sanding and staining that wood needs. The boards keep their color, resist splintering, and won’t warp in the sun, so you can spend more time relaxing and less time on upkeep. Over its 25- to 50-year life span, that durability can easily offset the slightly higher upfront price.
Yes, you can install composite decking on a rooftop, but the structure must handle the added weight and have the right slope for drainage. A structural engineer or experienced deck builder will confirm load limits, recommend specialized fasteners, and design a ventilation layer that keeps moisture from collecting under the boards. Those extra steps protect both the roof and your new deck for decades.
Building a composite deck starts with permits and a solid foundation of footings and framing. Next, installers lay joists, secure hidden fasteners, and place the deck boards, followed by railings and stairs if you need them. The job wraps up with a final inspection and thorough cleanup, leaving you with a ready-to-enjoy outdoor space.
Most composite decks last 25 to 50 years—far longer than many wood options. Plastic binders shield the wood fibers from moisture, while built-in UV inhibitors keep colors from fading. Combine that durability with the absence of splinters and decay, and you get a deck that looks fresh season after season with minimal upkeep.
Timeline depends on deck size, site prep, and crew experience, but most residential projects wrap up in a few days to a couple of weeks. Simple ground-level platforms go fastest, while multi-level designs or sites that need excavation add time. A seasoned pro will give you a clear schedule and keep you informed if weather delays pop up.
Composite isn’t your only choice. For classic warmth, you can choose pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods or aluminum for a lightweight, water-resistant surface. Each material has its own maintenance routine, price point, and style, so weigh the look you want against how much time you’re willing to spend on upkeep.
