Family fence was referred to me by two of my fellow co-workers. They installed a cedar fence on the North side and East side of my backyard. My neighbors love the fence! I have had several people comment on how they like the fence. I do see a lot of family fences badges on fences in Evanston. Word of mouth seems to work for this company. The owner and his workers
did an excellent job. Would highly recommend this company. Keep up the good work Family Fences. Dave Lurie.
