Get matched with top wood fence repair pros in Oak Park, 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."

"I hired Classic Fence to tear down my old fence and install new wood fence around my backyard. They did a fantastic job. I've gotten a bunch of compliments from my neighbors from how good it looks. Classic Fence, gave me the best price and quikest turn around. I do not regret my decision to hire them for the job."

"SP Fence installed my front and side fence. They quoted me a great price and, more importantly, they spent a lot of extra time making sure they got it just right, and the quality surpassed my expectations. I am picky, and this company delivers."

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

"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!"

"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."

"Robert and his man did a fast and excellent job repairing my wooden fence would recommend him to anyone. Price was reasonable too."

"I needed a new fence installed. The sales process was straight forward and not pushy. The time for the job being done was shorter than quoted. They did a great job explaining and showing us where the fence would go and how it would look. They really took the time to complete a quality project and at a very fair price. I would reccomend L & J construction to any of my friends and family!"

"The front door of my brick house is trimmed with wood and is unprotected against the elements.  Portions of the wood had rotted, including parts of the pediment (i.e., the woodwork above the door). The original installers (back in 1939) cut curving 1-inch wide grooves, which matched the curving pediment roof, deep into the brick.  We chose to replace the pediment with the same style rather than deal with covering the grooves.  James removed the original pediment and, in a matter of days, created a new pediment with all the features and proportions of the original.  He installed, caulked, and painted it. 

He also solved a design problem that had caused two light fixtures to short out. The board to which the front porch light is attached is convex, making it difficult to get a tight seal with the back of the light fixture. James mounted a square board, concave on one side and flat on the opposite side, and attached the light fixture to the flat side. The solution turned out to be quite elegant. Finally, he cut out the rotten wood where the vertical trim met the concrete porch and fitted replacement wood that matches existing wood in depth and width.  I am more than satisfied with the work.  I am positively delighted!"
