Skokie's tree-lined streets and mature parkway trees are one of the neighborhood's defining features, but they also need expert care to stay healthy and safe. Chicago Fence Pros has been serving Skokie and the surrounding Chicago area since 2009, and we know the specific challenges that come with maintaining fences and gates on the flat rectangular lots that make up this post-war village.
Whether you need a new privacy fence to frame your brick ranch or Georgian, repair work after storm damage, or a gate that operates smoothly and securely, our fully insured crews handle the job from start to finish. We're AFA Member Installers, and we work on wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, and automatic gates. When you call us at (872) 259-5832, you're talking to the same team that will show up to do the work.
Fence and Gate Work in Skokie (60076)
Skokie's residential character means most fence work happens on single-family properties with mature trees, established landscaping, and clear sight lines to neighbors. The flat terrain and rectangular lot layout make post spacing and rail alignment straightforward, but it also means a fence run is visible from the street and from neighboring yards. We pay attention to that. Whether you're installing a board-on-board privacy fence in cedar or pressure-treated pine, a vinyl privacy fence that won't need staining, chain link with proper gauge and mesh size, or ornamental aluminum and iron work, we build it to last and to look right in your neighborhood.
Storm damage is common enough that we keep crews ready for emergency repair work, including fence posts set in concrete that have shifted or failed, rails that have cracked, and gates that have come off their hinges. We also handle fence replacement and removal when repair isn't the right choice, pool barrier installation to meet local codes, and commercial or temporary fencing for contractors and events. Since 2009, we've learned what works in Skokie's soil and weather, and we know the permitting and HOA rules that vary across the Chicago area.

How a Fence or Gate Job Works in Skokie
We start with a free on-site assessment. You describe what you need, we measure the fence line, check for utility lines that need locating under Illinois 811 law, and look at the existing conditions. If you have an HOA, we'll help you understand what approval or architectural standards might apply. We give you an honest estimate and timeline, and we answer your questions before we start.
When we begin work, our crews handle the details that matter. We locate all underground utilities before we dig a single post hole. We set posts in concrete where the soil and application call for it, or tamp and brace them according to the job. We space posts correctly, install stringers and rails plumb and level, and finish cap and trim work so your fence looks professional. For gates, we hang them true, install self-closing and self-latching hardware where needed, and brace them against sag. If it's an automatic driveway gate, we install the operator and test it so it works every time.
When the work is done, we clean up the site, remove debris, and walk through the finished fence or gate with you. You should be able to see the quality of the work and know that it's going to hold up.
