What Our

Downers Grove Customers Say

  • Joseph H.

    The salesman Alberto was answered all my questions. He was honest and not pushy at all. The install crew did an awesome job on the fence. Their attention to detail, craftsmanship and neatness was top notch. Very well built gate with a high quality latch hardware. Highly recommended!

  • Christine Chimera

    Cedar Rustic did an amazing job from the product team who came to our house to survey the area to give us a quote, to the installers, to the finance team to called us about the bill. The fence looks beautiful! The people who put the fence up followed our complicated instructions on how to redraw the fence along a new property line and they even cut around tree roots to sit flush again the property line while not damaging the trees.

  • Joyce Sampson

  • Veronica Dillahunty

    Debbie our representative was great, knowledgeable, considerate & professional! We received great customer service as well as an affordable quote considering the times of inflation & resources running high! The best part & to me the most important was the two hard working, courteous men who installed our fence & did an impressive & professional job! My husband & I are pleased with Cedar Rustic Fence & would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have a fence installed.

  • Kevin Koopman

    Excellent installation and great features.

  • Marla Truitt

    This company put our cedar fence in almost 40 years ago. We have had them due touch ups in areas when needed. After a storm a tree fell and took out a large section. They were able to replace the fence posts and sections quickly with high quality cedar.  Workers took away all the debris from the post holes. Excellent job was done by all. We are very happy

  • Crystal Wolfe

    The original installation of our vinyl fence less than a year ago was amazing, and we have had no complaints there.  We experienced an issue with a lock on one of the doors, and the service was excellent.  They came on the appointed date, found and fixed the issues and alleviated any concerns.  Recommend them to anyone looking for a fence.

  • Rich Brunker

    Cedar Rustic Fence is Quality from start to finish in all aspects of their business. The office is organized and efficient, supplying information and communication at all times. Debbie came out, within 2 days of contact, listened to our needs, measured, drew it out, and left an estimate within an hour. She thoroughly explained the process, leaving us with no questions unanswered. Financials were worked out seemlessly in 48 hours, and we were scheduled 2 weeks out. Integrity in their word, the installation crew showed up on time the very day set originally. The install crew was respectful of all surroundings, neighbors as well as our home. The quality of the cedar fence is top- notch. All sections and gates measured out perfectly. They came in, had old fence and posts taken down and out in an hour and a half. Methodically, they worked very organized and clean ly. They know their trade, and their work proves it! We are very excited to have a beautiful fence to appreciate for years to come. Thank You Cedar Rustic!!

Downers Grove Fence FAQs

  • How much does fence installation cost in Downers Grove, IL?

    Fence installation costs in Downers Grove depend on the material, fence length, and style. For homeowners seeking privacy, cedar and vinyl offer a balance of cost and performance. Aluminum provides a similar investment with added rust resistance, while chain link is typically the most affordable fencing option. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you can compare materials and plan your budget without guesswork.

  • What is the best fencing material for properties in Downers Grove?

    It depends on what you're looking for. Cedar is a natural, solid choice for privacy fencing and holds up well through Illinois winters with proper care. Vinyl requires little maintenance and is suitable for HOA-regulated neighborhoods. Aluminum handles harsh weather without rusting, which is ideal for ornamental fencing, pool enclosures, or front yard borders. Chain link is the go-to for boundary and security applications where budget matters most.

  • What are the permit requirements for installing a fence in Downers Grove?

    A permit is required for most fence installations in Downers Grove. You’ll need to provide a current plat of survey along with any required HOA approval documentation if your property is located within a homeowners association. Permit applications are filed directly with the Village of Downers Grove. We’ll point you to the right resources so you know exactly what to have ready.

  • How long does it take to install a fence in Downers Grove?

    Most residential fence installations are completed in a single day. For larger projects or when scheduling and weather add delays, the full timeline from booking to completed fence can extend up to two weeks. Our crews work efficiently to keep your timeline as short as possible.

  • Where can I find more information about my fencing options?

    Our FAQ page covers materials, design choices, maintenance tips, and more. You're also welcome to call us or request a free estimate. Our team is happy to walk you through everything before you commit to anything.
