For nearly a century, Cedar Rustic Fence Co. has built and installed fences across Downers Grove and the broader Chicagoland area. We own our manufacturing from start to finish. Your fence is built in our own shop, to our own standards, with no outsourced materials.
Our installation crews work in Downers Grove neighborhoods every week. They know the layout, HOA requirements, and setback conditions that out-of-area contractors don’t know. That local knowledge keeps change orders low and reduces the back-and-forth that slows down projects in HOA neighborhoods.

What Our
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.
