Hiring a Fence Installer in Chicago
Quotes in Chicago vary by more than material. Post depth has to clear the local frost line, sloped lots need stepped or racked panels, and tearing out an old fence is usually billed separately. Ask every company whether the number covers haul-away, permit filing, and utility locates before you compare it against anyone else's.
The spread here is wide: wood starts at $16 per foot while cedar reaches $74. On a 150-foot run that is a difference of roughly $8,700.
