Our Story
A legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and community service in fence building across four generations
A Rich Legacy
in Fencing
The Cedar Mill is a family-owned fence company with a rich legacy spanning several generations. Started by Grandpa Joe Keefe in 1946 on the south side of Chicago at the end of WWII, the company has evolved over the years while staying true to his innovative and visionary approach to the fence industry.
Today, under the ownership of Mike Keefe, the fourth generation of the family, The Cedar Mill continues to honor the values and traditions instilled by Grandpa Joe, aiming to build quality custom fences and uphold the company's longstanding reputation for excellence.
At this point, we have built too many fences to count and many of our original fences are still standing. This speaks to the methods, the quality of the materials, and the pride placed in building great fences.

Our Values
These core principles guide every fence we build and every client interaction we have
Craftsmanship
Every fence we build is crafted with precision and care, using premium materials and time-tested techniques.
Integrity
We believe in honest pricing, clear communication, and delivering exactly what we promise.
Innovation
While respecting traditional methods, we embrace modern technologies and design trends.
Community
As a family-owned business since 1975, we're committed to building more than fences - we're building community.
