How we compiled this list
Inclusion criteria
Each contractor on this page holds a Google rating of 4.0 stars or higher, has at least 40 published Google reviews, maintains an active Google Business Profile and serves the Chicago metro area, and appeared in the local pack for at least one fence-related Google search in our latest scan.
Sources
Review counts and ratings come from Google Business Profile. BBB letter grades come from the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org). Pricing path, financing, warranty terms, and services come from each contractor's website.
What we don't include
We don't surface contractors below 4.0 stars, contractors without an active Google Business Profile, or contractors with fewer than 40 reviews — not because they may not be reputable, but because there isn't enough public data for a fair side-by-side comparison.
Ergeon's approach to fence installation in Chicago
Online cost estimator + remote video quotes
Customers draw their fence line on a satellite map of their property and get a self-service cost estimate without sharing contact info. Final quotes come from a scheduled live video estimate with an Ergeon rep — no in-person visit required for most projects.
40,000+ fences installed across 22 states
Ergeon was founded in 2018 and operates in 22 states plus Washington, DC. The Chicago Google Business Profile has over 900 customer reviews at a 4.9 rating — the highest review count among the contractors in this comparison.
Median 4 weeks from quote to installed fence
Across recent Chicago fence installs, the median time from initial quote to completed installation is approximately 28 days. The median time from quote to signed contract is 4 days.
Wisetack financing
Ergeon offers project financing through Wisetack (3 to 60 months, project amounts $500 to $25,000). Pre-qualification is a soft credit pull. Most Chicago-area fence contractors do not advertise financing — Ergeon, Illinois Fence Company, and Suburban Fence are the exceptions in this comparison.
Standard fence warranty
Ergeon's contract includes a 1-year craftsmanship warranty, 7-year coverage on wooden or steel posts, 5-year material warranty on chain link fences, and pass-through of applicable manufacturer warranties (which can extend up to 30 years on certain vinyl products). Most Chicago-area contractors do not publish written warranty terms; readers are encouraged to ask for a written warranty before signing any installation contract.
