Fence Recommendation?

linds0130 · September 2011

Has anyone used a company in the Twin Cities to install a fence? We are looking for recommendations for someone to install a wood fence fand have no idea where to start! If you have someone you liked, I'd love to hear it or if you had a bad experience let me know so we can stay away from that company!

TIA!

My BIL (Dave) owns a fencing company! Here is the website:

They do really good work! They have some testimonials on their site, and I think they are on Angie's list.

We worked through Lowe's for ours and I definitely would NOT recommend. They hire outside contractors, and although everyone at Lowe's at the beginning was super helpful and nice (and it was convenient that we got the wood there and they installed) we had some big issues with being told things would be covered by the warranty when they actually would not be covered, and the communication between Lowe's and the contractor was terrible which made everything take way longer than it needed to get done. Our gate blew/broke off after a month of them installing and it was easily a month or so and about 15+ phone calls from me before they re-installed it - and we had to pay for more lumber and parts! Overall I have been very dissatisfied with their service and their final end product.

We just had a privacy fence installed a couple of weeks ago by Midwest Fence, and we are so happy with it and the work they did. We used them on the recommendation of friends who has them install a fence several years ago. Their fence looks great five years after install.

TheDutchGirl: I just noticed your name and LOVE it and your profile pic! I'm 100% Dutch and grew up in a small Dutch town!

Linds: I am 100% Dutch too! I grew up in West Michigan, where there is a huge contingent of descendants of Dutch immigrants. Just like me.

Ours was installed by Midwest Fence too. It was installed by the previous owners of our house about four years ago, but there's a small sign on the fence, so I know it was done by them. Our next door neighbor has the same iron fence, also through Midwest Fence. A couple of our neighbors down the street have wood privacy fences from Midwest Fence. All look great.

Our neighbor next door had to have their fence repaired because their kids were doing stupid stuff and damaged the fence, and they said Midwest Fence didn't even charge them for the repair.

Might be a day late dollar short on this one but thought I'd chime in anyway

We used Hansen Bros Fence and they were great! I believe they're based in a northern suburbs but I know they travel. Did great work and were reasonably priced!
