EXCELLENT Based on 25 reviews Bill Myers2025-07-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with First Class Fence for a new fence installation at our home in Northbrook, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was responsive, easy to communicate with, and clearly experienced. They helped us choose the right style and material for our yard, explained all the options clearly, and provided a fair, transparent quote. The installation itself was fast, clean, and very well done—the fence looks great and is solidly built. What really impressed us was their attention to detail and how respectful they were of our property. They stayed on schedule, kept the worksite tidy, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it before wrapping up. Highly recommend First Class Fence for anyone in the Northbrook area looking for quality fencing work and professional service.

Everything—from the quote to the install—was smooth and well-handled. The crew was fast, cleaned up after, and even added an extra 8-foot section on the spot with no issue. Jamie, our project manager, was super helpful and professional. I highly recommend them! Ryan Harrison2025-07-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
