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 and ipe hardwood decks provide the longest durability for your outdoor space. Composite decks last 30 years exactly, and ipe hardwood decks continue reliably for 75 years when maintained properly. Frequent cleaning and sealing preserve these materials and protect them against weathering. This exceptional endurance minimizes future repair needs and offers a solid, lasting investment.
Replacing your deck directly increases your home’s market value and enhances its curb appeal. A new deck returns between 50% and 65% of its cost in additional home value at resale. This upgrade not only modernizes your outdoor living space but also significantly bolsters buyer interest, ensuring that your investment adds both functionality and an attractive aesthetic.
You should replace your deck when visible signs of wear begin to compromise safety and functionality. The quality of maintenance and the durability of the chosen materials determine when a deck reaches the end of its life. For example, decks crafted from superior materials like mahogany or ipe hardwood can last over 50 years, while cedar decks require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Regular inspections help guide this decision.
Your deck needs to be replaced when clear structural issues compromise its safety. Indicators include soft spots, sunken boards, scattered wood shavings, and hollow sounds that indicate rot or pest damage. These symptoms show that simple repairs are insufficient to maintain a secure deck. A professional evaluation is essential to confirm whether full replacement is necessary to protect your outdoor living area.
