Fence Installation in Des Plaines
The right fence starts with how you plan to use the space.
Homeowners may want more privacy, a safer yard for pets, a defined boundary, or a fence that works around a pool. Businesses may need a stronger perimeter, controlled access, or gates that accommodate employees, deliveries, and vehicles.
Top Line Fence can help you compare materials, layouts, heights, and gate locations before work begins. Our fences are custom-built around each site rather than treated as one-size-fits-all installations.

Fence Repair and Replacement in Des Plaines
A damaged fence does not always need to be replaced. Common issues that may be repairable include:
- Loose or damaged boards
- Leaning or unstable posts
- Damaged fence sections
- Worn or broken hardware
- Gates that no longer open, close, or latch properly
If the rest of the structure is still in good condition, a targeted repair may be enough.
Top Line Fence can inspect the problem and help you decide whether fence repair or replacement makes more sense. Replacement may be the better long-term option when damage is widespread, the fence has become unstable, or it no longer fits your property’s needs.
Gates and Access for Homes and Businesses
Gate placement can make a major difference in how well a fence works from day to day.
For homes, the priority may be easy access to a driveway, backyard, side yard, or garden. For commercial properties, the gate may need to accommodate vehicle traffic, deliveries, equipment, or added security.
Planning the gate along with the fence can help keep access practical while supporting the level of security you need.
Des Plaines Fence Permits and Project Planning
Before installation, it’s worth considering factors like the property line, fence height, gate locations, landscaping, driveways, existing structures, and local requirements.
The City of Des Plaines requires a residential fence permit application along with a plat of survey showing details such as the proposed fence location, material, height, and gate locations.
Property owners should review the City’s current requirements before work begins.
