"We used them 18 years ago for the first fence and are so happy with their work again! They were professional and on time. They worked meticulously around all the cables and wires and dug everything by hand and had ZERO cable slicing. When our neighbor replaced their fence just days later, they came back out and closed the gaps left by the neighbor's fence (annoying), with no extra cost to us! I highly recommend Aztec Fence Inc!"

"Tim was great.  Came in and showed us difference types of fencing.  Gave us a great deal on a fence.  The guys came out to install a few weeks later.  Our job was a tough one with all of the rocks in our soil.  They had to hand dig the holes for the posts.  Took them 2 days because of this.  They came back bright and early on Saturday (a holiday weekend at that).  It looks amazing!  We were very happy with Northwest.

"We strongly recommend Aspen Fence. After an onsite walking of the property Jeff was very professional with a prompt written quote. After several quotes Aspen was the low bidder. As for the installation of the fence, Aspen's crew was quick and worked with us because there were some minor issues with water pipes and trees on the fence line. We are very happy with the fence and with Aspen's workmanship. We will definitely use Aspen Fence for any future fencing needs.

"Hansen Bros did a beautiful and wonderful job. Very professional, very clean (they protected the plants, sidewalk and bricks all around the job.) Great communication about when they would be showing up (as weather for an outside job can make a big difference)...and they showed up on time, performed outstanding work and their pricing for the whole job was very fair and reasonable. They even washed the windows on the outside. I will definitely be hiring them again for any paint work I need done. I highly recommend Hansen Bros.!"

"The salesman was extremely knowledgeable, and the guys who came to do the work were punctual, polite, and professional.  They covered our carpet where they were walking in and out, broke apart our basement floor, installed the drain tiles, and they re-concreted the floor.  Everything looks great so far!  I will re-post if there are any issues this spring, but I am very confident in their work (and it came with a guarantee).

FAQs for barbed wire fence installation projects in Great Lakes, IL

Barbed wire is a type of fencing made from steel wire with sharp edges or points spaced along the strands. It's designed to prevent unauthorized entry or contain livestock by acting as a physical deterrent. Barbed wire fences are often seen in agricultural settings or high-security areas because they're effective, durable, and require little maintenance.

You can expect to pay between $3 and $6 per linear foot for a barbed wire fence, including installation. The exact price depends on factors like material quality, number of strands, wire thickness, and labor costs. If you have a larger project, bulk purchasing and hiring a professional might offer cost savings.

The number of strands you need depends on the fence's purpose and the level of security you want. For a standard livestock fence, you might use three to five strands. For higher-security needs, you may require more strands to meet your needs. Consider your specific requirements and talk to your fence installation pro to determine the appropriate number.

Barbed wire fencing regulations vary by location. In many residential areas, the use of barbed wire is restricted or prohibited due to safety concerns. Before installing a barbed wire fence, work with your barbed wire fence installation pro to check local zoning laws and homeowner association rules to ensure compliance with regulations.

The lifespan of a barbed wire fence depends on the quality of materials and environmental conditions. Fences made with high-quality, galvanized wire and proper coatings can last between 20 and 30 years. Regular maintenance and inspections can extend the fence's longevity by addressing issues like rust or damaged strands promptly.
