Fence permits are required in most cities when height exceeds 6 feet or the fence is installed within a utility easement or right-of-way. HOA approval may also be required. Verify local ordinances before installation — unpermitted fences can require mandatory removal.
In Illinois, contractor licensing is tracked by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://idfpr.illinois.gov/checklicense.html. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Illinois Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://forms.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/Forms/ConsumerComplaints_ComplaintForm. AboveBoardPros runs this same check before listing a contractor, then reviews it on an ongoing basis.
Midwest freeze/thaw cycles, clay soils, and humid summers affect every fence material differently. Here's how to choose the right fence for your specific yard, use case, and budget in the Midwest.
Fence lifespan ranges from 15 years for chain link to 50+ years for aluminum. Here's what determines how long each material actually lasts — and when repair stops making sense.
Not every problem needs a contractor today — but some absolutely do. Use our home repair urgency checker to find out if your issue needs immediate action, a 2-week appointment, or just monitoring.
Fence installation costs range from $1,000 for a short chain link run to $30,000+ for a large composite or aluminum fence. Use our estimator to get a realistic installed cost range before you call a contractor.
A 6-foot privacy fence costs $18–$45 per linear foot installed. A typical 200-foot backyard fence runs $3,600–$9,000. Here's the full cost breakdown by material, gates, and what drives the price.
Wood fencing costs $18–$28 per linear foot installed. Vinyl costs $22–$40. Neither is universally better — the right choice depends on your climate, maintenance tolerance, and budget. Here's the honest comparison.
