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.

Types of Fences Available in Northfield
Cedar Wood Fencing
Cedar is a favorite for Northfield’s residential areas due to its natural oils that resist rot and insects. With its rich color and grain, cedar fencing blends beautifully with landscaped yards and classic North Shore architecture.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fences are perfect for Northfield’s variable climate. They withstand snow, rain, and sun without warping or cracking. Vinyl is available in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket designs, all requiring minimal upkeep.
Composite Fencing
Made from recycled materials and wood fibers, composite fences offer eco-friendly durability. These fences don’t fade easily and are highly resistant to pests. Composite fencing works well for homeowners who want long-lasting performance with minimal care.
Ornamental Metal Fencing
Ornamental aluminum and steel fences add elegance and security. In Northfield, they are often used around estates, pools, or gardens. They mimic the look of wrought iron but with modern rust-resistant coatings.
Chain Link Fencing
While practical, chain link doesn’t have to be plain. In Northfield, we often install chain link fences with vinyl coating or privacy slats, making them suitable for homes, schools, and businesses.
