Top 4 Best-Selling Fences in Chicagoland and North Shore IL – 2025
Need a Fence?
Choosing the right fence for your property in Chicagoland and the North Shore suburbs can make all the difference in curb appeal, privacy, and security. At First Class Fence, we’ve installed thousands of fences across Deerfield, Northbrook, Highland Park, Glenview, Skokie, Evanston, and Lake Forest. Based on current demand and homeowner preferences, here are the top four best-selling fences for 2025.
Wood Fence
Wood fencing remains the timeless choice for many homeowners in Chicago and the North Shore. Cedar fences are especially popular because they resist insects and decay while providing natural beauty. Homeowners love the flexibility in style—whether you prefer a classic picket fence, a tall privacy fence, or custom latticework. A wood fence also stains beautifully, giving you options for color and finish to match your home.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fences are quickly rising in popularity across suburban neighborhoods like Glenview and Skokie. They are low-maintenance, durable, and available in many colors and styles, from white privacy panels to decorative picket designs. Vinyl fencing won’t rot, warp, or need staining, making it a perfect long-term investment for busy families.
Chain-link Fence
Chain-link fencing continues to be a best-seller for both residential and commercial properties in Chicagoland. It’s affordable, practical, and easy to install. Many North Shore homeowners use chain-link fences for backyards, pet enclosures, and sports areas. For added appeal, privacy slats or vinyl-coated options provide both function and style.
Metal Fence
Metal fencing, particularly ornamental steel and aluminum, is in high demand for 2025. In areas like Highland Park, Evanston, and Lake Forest, homeowners are choosing metal fences for their elegance, strength, and low maintenance. These fences offer the look of wrought iron without the constant upkeep, making them ideal for both security and aesthetics.

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.
