Superior Fence & Rail of Chicago, based in Lake Bluff, is a team of seasoned professionals dedicated to providing top-notch services for residential, commercial, and industrial fence and railing applications. Specializing in wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental aluminum, and steel fences, along with railings and automated gate entry systems, the company takes pride in its commitment to customer satisfaction and quality installation.
The company and its owners are dedicated to providing nothing but the highest standards of quality and excellence in their work. “We are passionate about customer service and quality installation,” says Lake Forest resident Eric Graham, owner and president of Superior Fence & Rail of Chicago. “We reinforce this commitment to our customers by offering a three-year workmanship warranty on every installation.”
Serving the Lake Bluff and Lake Forest area since August 2022, Superior Fence & Rail of Chicago has completed more than 300 fence installations and the company’s growth reflects the trust it has gained within the community. Graham and his team hope to serve another 300 customers in 2024 while continuing to support community organizations like Lake Bluff Baseball, LFHS boosters, and the Lake Bluff 4th of July parade.
With more than 65 customer reviews and an impressive 4.9-star rating on Google, Superior Fence & Rail of Chicago aims for perfection, not just with their client’s residences and commercial spaces, but with the community, too.
Graham’s journey into the fencing business began after years of being in corporate roles. He purchased the business stemming from a desire to leverage his valuable experience into owning and operating a company. “While it’s much more difficult than I ever imagined, it is also tremendously rewarding,” he shares.
Homeowners and commercial customers are often faced with the challenge of needing a safe enclosure on their property— whether for a new pet, young children, or security— with limited time to focus on the installation process. “We alleviate that challenge by taking on the arduous tasks of village permits, HOA approvals, and utility locates,” says Graham.
The team of experts also seeks to ensure quality fence installation in Chicago’s unique climate head-on. “It’s of the utmost importance to get our post holes dug below the frost level,” he says. “We are diligent in digging our post holes a minimum of 36 inches deep and we follow all village codes and regulations for a quality outcome.”
Superior Fence & Rail of Chicago aspires to become the community’s go-to fence and railing installation company, with a steadfast commitment to customer service and quality installation. “Our goal is to be the trusted fence company in this community by never losing sight of our primary focus: customer service and quality installation,” says Graham.
As Superior Fence & Rail of Chicago commemorates their first 18 months in business, their dedication to prioritizing customer service and delivering the best installations remains unwavering. With a commitment to excellence, they strive not only to meet but exceed the expectations of their clients, aiming to make a positive and lasting impact on the community.
