They did a beautiful job with our fence! Even came out and fixed something at no charge when our gate doors started rubbing together and wouldn’t open and close well.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness, Value. We met Kevin yesterday. We were not sure about fencing and how much it cost. Midwest was the best price with the most quality. We decided to wait until spring so we can pay off other debt before making such a big purchase. Kevin was awesome about helping us find the right fence and meeting our needs specific to our property. Because of his professionalism, quick response regarding quote and changes we can’t wait to get our fence in the spring. We can’t wait to be customers of this company. BY FAR most professional and best price.. and we got A LOT of quotes. We are so impressed.

This is the company to use if you want any kind of fence. We had at least 6 estimates done (I wanted Midwest, but figured I would get a few others to compare). Midwest wasn’t the cheapest (more in the upper middle of the estimates), but they seemed more professional (didn’t bash other companies, etc.) & their financing was the best. SO thankful we went with Midwest! We have the nicest fence in the neighborhood 🙂 We couldn’t believe how professional every one of these workers were. SO professional…I mean no loud music, no crude talk (we had neighbors get concrete work done & were disgusted at the language, etc. we heard from them)…Midwest was Clean, Professional, Efficient, kind & very skilled workers…Completely worth every penny we paid. Would highly recommend using this company.

First class operation all around. From the initial estimate last fall, to the crew that set the posts to the final product. Great group of guys that were nothing but courteous and respectful of us and our home.

The company was great. We replaced a cedar privacy fence and extended the existing fence a bit. The bid came in lower than others and the product was very high quality! They were professional and on time. Even amongst the chaotic spring/summer of 2020. Definitely recommend!!!

Friendly staff, great service. Got my fence about a year ago and needed a small repair. They took car of the problem with no questions asked. Very happy with the service and the fence is great. Install was quick and crew was professional.

Thanks for the kind words!

Everyone on the team was incredibly punctual. Derek, the estimator, was very helpful in deciding what kind of fence should be put up.  The new fence is stunning; and we are getting super reviews from neighbors.

They installed the fence great. They came on time.  I was given very clear payment options.  I had an opportunity to change the colors of my fence and they accommodated it.  They were very personable and very efficient in their work. Overall they are a good people to work with.

Originally had old fence torn out and replaced with a new one.  Needed an adjustment on the gate and a pole that was heaving. It went great! Tony and Dale showed up in the time window I was told. Originally they were only coming to adjust the gate, but then I noticed one pole was heaving and the concrete was pushing above ground.  Instead of making us wait to have that fixed, they took care of it right away. The guys were very personable and wanted to be sure we were pleased with everything,  They were awesome!

Installed a chain link fence.  We were told they would install 7-8 weeks from time of order, but ended up installing in about 4 weeks.  We were pleasantly surprised!

Finishing off fence in the backyard.  All I can say is, exceptional work!  I personally didn’t talk to anyone at Midwest Fence as my husband was responsible for that, but my husband said they were really great to work with.  They arrived when they said they would and they cleaned up after themselves.  If I didn’t see the fence in our backyard, I wouldn’t have even known they were there.  They were able to do everything while we were at work which was a HUGE plus.  We had a 6 foot cedar privacy fence put in and it exceeded my expectations.  It is absolutely beautiful!  I gave a B to the price because I never realized how expensive fences were but since we got multiple bids and they came around the same price, I would have to say their prices are fair.  I would DEFINITELY recommend them to others!

We wanted an exercise pen for our new Siberian Husky puppy.  We ordered a 6ft high 24 x 14 chain link pen from Midwest Fence. Midwest Fence was great.  I contacted three fence companies that were highly rated on Angie’s list.  One never responded.  One gave me a quick quote over the phone sight/site unseen and said his guy would contact me. No subsequent contact.  On the other hand, Midwest Fence’s salesperson called me back the same day, He came out, looked at what we wanted, discussed options, and gave me a quote lower than the other.   Since it was November, I was told work probably could not begin until spring.  To our joy, the fence was installed during a warm spell in December.  It looks great.  The crews were professional and pleasant.  Two weeks later when I called about an adjustment I needed, a crew appeared the next day and made the adjustment.

I needed a privacy fence installed all around my back yard.  I live in St. Paul so I was able to go up to the property lines. being from the country and moving to the city this was a must have the overall process was great; from the time the estimator came out to the last nail pounded.  I am so happy with your fence. I would recommend Midwest Fence to anyone and everyone!

It went excellent – the fence looks great, the work was done quickly and the workers were extremely professional, even to a nosy elderly neighbor!

Deciding to build a backyard fence happens for a variety of reasons. Pets, children, protecting a garden, securing a pool, providing safety or simply adding a new look to a property are all reasons.

Making the decision to build is one thing, ensuring you have the new backyard fence you imagine is another. There are a variety of considerations when deciding to build, and we look at a few in this blog post.

Building a backyard fence to last takes planning, care and attention to detail during fence construction. There are plenty of online resources with help for DIYers looking to build a backyard fence as a weekend project.

Ensuring a fence is built to last requires quality materials and proven construction techniques. While these can be learned online, there is value in considering using an experienced, proven Twin Cities fence contractor for the job.

Deciding the style of fence you seek is among the first choices. Should it provide privacy, or allow sunshine and wind to pass through it?

Identifying the height of the fence to do the job you seek is another step. Is it designed to keep dogs and children enclosed and safe? Or, are you seeking some security, making it more difficult for people to get into your yard.

Providing security is also a consideration for the material you are using. While stronger fence materials provide better security, the aesthetic of the choice is likely even more important.

Seeking a more natural look to the fence? Try installing a wood fence, which come with a variety of designs and construction styles, either pickets spaced apart, or tongue-and-groove boards fit together and attached to cross beams.

Weather-resistant aluminum fencing provides the traditional look of an iron fence as well as security as the strongest fence material.

Chain link is also an option, providing security and containment as well as allowing light and sun through.

Our next blog post will identify other factors to consider when building a backyard fence, including cost and environmental considerations.

If you are a pet owner or your neighbors have wandering pets, your life can be made easier with a new fence to contain your property. Maybe your neighbor’s unsightly yard has given you thoughts of moving to a new neighborhood.  No need to move, you can have an attractive privacy fence installed. There are many reasons why people buy fences. Are you wondering “Do I need a fence?”- here are three things to consider.

A common concern for pet owners is dog containment. Consequently, a smart cedar picket fence can enhance the appearance of your property and also keep “Rover” safely at home. Therefore, Ornamental steel and aluminum systems have a classic look. Additionally, Ornamental fences are typically maintenance free and are equally effective at containing pets.

Homeowners with small children looking for a lower cost way to keep their little ones safe may choose a chain system.  Hence, chain link fences are a great way to contain any size yard at an affordable cost. Galvanized chain link systems have been available for many decades. Vinyl coated black, green and brown can be more attractive options. In summary,  if you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, be sure that they allow chain link systems as many do not.

Visually blocking out the things that are beyond your borders is easily completed with a Privacy fence.  It will provide a layer of security as well. These fences have many benefits but are often not allowed in front yards due to city regulations. Privacy fences can be made of cedar, vinyl or composite (Trex) materials.  Cedar would require a level of upkeep (staining, board or post replacement, etc) but with vinyl and composite, effort would be minimal.

Fences can add a great amount of security to your home and for your family.   A high quality, sturdy fence will be extremely effective in keeping animals or intruders off your property.  Also, it will improve the appearance of your home, and can enhance privacy as well as the aesthetics of your landscaping.

In the end, the reasons you purchase a fence are unique to your needs and a qualified fence professional can help you make the right choice.

Enclosing a swimming pool is a good idea for a variety of reasons. From privacy to security and, above all else, safety, homeowners protecting their pool need to select the type of fence to fit those needs along with their individual style and taste.

Understanding applicable ordinances and rules to enclose a residential pool is important before making a final fence decision as they may have height and setback requirements that can affect the choice.

Wood fencing for swimming pools are a solid option as they are custom built and offer various levels of privacy, height and styles. This allows fitting the fence to the contour of a property and also painting or staining a preferred color. Continue reading →
