For centuries Western Red Cedar has been known for its beauty and durability, making it the preferred wood species for outdoor projects. Athanas Fence only uses #1 rated materials. Western Red Cedar fences are extremely sturdy and can last for 20 years or longer even in places where vastly different weather patterns occur.
Most vinyl fence and railing profiles appear the same, that is until you take a closer look. A closer inspection of fence and railing extrusions from VEKA will reveal a higher quality vinyl profile. A thicker substrate indicates that you have purchased a fence and railing system that is backed by the most comprehensive warranty in the industry today.
Classic style features extended pickets that culminate to an arrow-pointed spear capture the beautiful look of old style wrought iron fencing. Single, double and arched walk gates that perfectly match this fence style are also available. Majestic's flush top rail projects a clean, streamlined look that make it one of the most popular styles in the Montage family.
Our Echelon line of residential decorative aluminum fence is best known for its outstanding strength, derived from a unique Forerunner rail design. The ForeRunner rail allows this aluminum fence follow changes in elevation while maintaining a secure distance under the fence. Contributing to the strength of the Echelon aluminum fence is its internally reinforced components.

Was very happy with their prompt service, and the price was just right. Will call again if another problem happens (this time a huge windstorm knocked down the fence.)

Employee arrived early despite being told I wouldn't be available earlier. Showed up again before the appointment time and then complained how long he waited and left just before the scheduled time. Shocking behavior especially during a pandemic and businesses are suffering.

Recommend using someone else!

Jeff and team did a fantastic job. They responded quickly to my initial call, made time to come out to measure right away, explained the permit process and provided contact info, ordered materials and installed the fence within the tight time frame I requested. Quality, service, and timing all top notch.

As a new resident of Highland Park I contacted Athanans Fencing. I could not have been happier with the results. They quickly obtained permits and rapidly installed my fence. The owner Jeff was great. He stopped by several times to make sure the job was being done correctly.
Their pricing was very fair or less than some of the bigger names fence companies that did not bother to return our calls.
For local great service I would strongly recommend this company.

Thank you !!!

Do not use this company! Had a very expensive black aluminum fence installed 5 years ago. I was hoping that this fence would last for 30 years and I've had nothing but problems. First, Athanas red our play wrong and installed the fence 6 ft inside of our property line. Then, a year later the posts shifted and looks awful. Now our self latching gates don't line up and they won't return our calls. Also. The same posts keep shifting.

Stay clear of this company. The math to compute the cost of the quote wasn't accurate. They measured too many linear feet and therefore had a bigger number. Also, once they get your check and you have a problem which I did with vertical boards slipping down, they don't return phone calls. I've left four messages and no calls returned. I renailed the boards myself. There's too much good competition to mess with this company. Keep going.

Update: It is now August 25 and Athanas Fence has still not returned our deposit despite not setting foot on our property. Jeff Athanas has repeatedly lied to us about putting the check in the mail. This company is a scam and cannot be trusted.

I have used this company since 2007 totaling $4,300 in services. The last job they installed metal posts to hold iron custom fence and gates. The center post simply fell over the week of July 3, 2016. I discovered the post was only placed 1.5 inches into the ground. I contacted the company and sent them photos a full description and copies of past receipts showing how much I have spent with them as a customer. I also sent them a proposal that I felt was fair. It also included a gate on the opposite side of my home that also has problems.

The email back said they could not offer their services

The worst fence/small business on the NorthShore. The first time they showed up, they tore down a neighbors fence instead of mine. The next time they came, they installed the fence and didn't use concrete to set the posts, just sand. The third time they cam to fix the issue and replace with concrete, they used a gravel and sand mix. The fence is one year old and the posts are coming out of the ground. He doesn't back his warranty and has is blocking my calls. Jeff is a dishonest thief. Stay away from him and his company. He is a con artist that promises you one thing and then you

I've used Athanas Fence twice. The first was in 2010, and they replaced a large section of perimeter fence that grew loose over time. The second time, in May 2014, they replaced a different post and re-attached the existing panels of fence to the new post. The May 2014 receipt for $425 indicates a two-year warranty on the materials and work.

Yesterday, the post Athanas installed in 2014 snapped at the base. Even considering the winds there is no way a 4x4 post should have snapped in the way it did -- clearly, the materials and/or work were the root cause. However, Athanas came to look at

I've used Athanas three times: the first time to install an aluminum fence (they did a nice job), the 2nd time to fix a part of the fence we'd damaged and the last time to install a wooden fence. During the 2nd job I asked the guys to add a small amount of cement where they'd previously installed railing going up outdoor stairs (the cement had receded). Suddenly, the men disappeared without addressing my simple request. That should've been a hint to me. Instead we used them for the last job. They were to start the height of a wooden side fence where the back fence ended

Apr 2016 update: as expected the gate posts that were put too close together have jammed the gate shut. Jeff knew last yr & said he'd replace if it shifted. Well, first he looked at it & they're fine, then he said never actually looked because they never did the work. Had record & his writing acknowledging the posts were repaired wrong & he'd correct if necessary. Then, oh yeah, I'll look at them. 2 weeks & 6 calls-no response. THIEF!!! Stay away!! I rec'd him to AT LEAST 15 people & he made a lot of money off my refs. Despicable treatment

Simply put, these guys are awesome. They built us a lovely fence that covers our yard really nicely, they worked quickly, were attentive to the details and cleaned up really nicely afterwards. Can't say enough good things about dealing with them.

I think these guys are great. They're friendly and responsive on the phone, they send out nice, friendly, competent workmen who do a great job. No muss, no fuss, just good honest workmanship. They deliver just what they promise. Highly reliable. Very reasonable pricing. I've used them to rebuild major portions of my yard-surrounding fence, do the inevitable sagging-gate repairs, etc. Always a very satisfying experience. They even upgraded some gate posts gratis once. I highly recommend them.
