Vinyl fencing provides low-maintenance durability with a limited lifetime warranty. Our installations resist weather damage and fading while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Professional crews ensure precise alignment and secure post installation for long-term performance. Ideal for homeowners seeking privacy and property value enhancement without ongoing maintenance commitments.

Custom wood fencing options include classic picket and modern board-on-board designs. We use pressure-treated lumber for enhanced longevity against rot and pests.

Commercial-grade fasteners ensure structural integrity for both residential privacy and commercial security applications.

The crew the was unprofessional! They moved landscaping pavers without asking me and threw them on my neighbors property! They left space under the fence so my dog could get out! They left trash all over the property and over filled the post holes where grass is to be planted and now cant! When I called the company sales person he made excuses for them!!
Worst of all, they BROKE THROUGH THE DOWNSPOUT OUT FLOW AND FILLED IT WITH CEMENT!!! This backed up the water next to my foundation which would have eventually flooded my basement!! The crew obviously didnt care because they left pieces

Not to sure if its because I did the scheduling through Home Depot or not but here is my experience with Great Lakes fence co:
4/5/2021:
I scheduled through Home Depots app, received a call from Home Depot scheduling me a date with their contractor (this company)
They can schedule me a little under two months out, nbd its a busy season I understand. They mention the gentleman who would be doing my estimate, Jim Gallagher.
4/21/2021:
I received a call from Jim stating Im in the area I can do your estimate now
He comes over and everything goes great. He seems to be a great

Finished product is awesome. Richie was a great salesman to work with. He was always prompt to respond to my questions. The crew showed up on time, got straight to work, and completed the tear down of the old fence and installation of the new fence in two days. The crew did a great job not tearing up my yard and they cleaned up the yard great when they finished. I'd highly recommend Great Lake Fence Company, they were a pleasure to work with.

We had 500 ft of picket fence installed and a small paddock with horse fencing installed. Chris and Rich were both highly responsive. The crew showed up when promised and were incredibly precise. Over 500 feet and every inch is STRAIGHT and LEVEL. We made some last minute changes to gates and they rolled with it. We had just purchased our home and did not know where some underground lines were. We thought we hit some during installation, when in fact, there was just a gap between power being provided between owners because we didn't overlap responsibility for ownership with the power company.
