Custom Wood, Vinyl, and Steel Fences Built in 3-5 Weeks with Lifetime Post Warranty

Most of the fences we build in the Twin Cities fall between $3,000–$10,000.

Smaller, simpler fences start around $3,000–$5,000, while large fences with many custom design options can be $15,000+.

After a quick call and a few photos, we’ll give you a clear ballpark range before anyone comes to your home, so you can see if it fits your budget with zero pressure.

In simple terms: wood costs less upfront, vinyl and ornamental cost less over time.

Wood (pressure-treated or cedar): lower initial price, needs staining or sealing every few years, typically lasts 20–25+ years with good care.

Vinyl: higher upfront cost, no staining or sealing, won’t rot or warp, and typically lasts 25–35+ years with basic cleaning.

Ornamental aluminum or steel: highest upfront cost, no staining or sealing, extremely durable, and can last 30–40+ years with minimal maintenance.

During your consultation, we’ll show you good / better / best options in all three materials so you can see side-by-side how the look, maintenance, and long-term cost compare.

Our job is to make this simple:

1. Phone / virtual consult to talk through your ideas, budget, and timeline.
2. On‑site visit & measurements so we can design to your exact space.
3. Design & quote with a clear scope, price, and options.
4. Permits & HOA approvals handled by our team.
5. Build phase where our crew completes the project and keeps your yard tidy.
6. Final walkthrough to make sure everything looks and functions exactly how you expected.

Most projects move from first call to completed fence in about 3-5 weeks, depending on design and permits.

In the Twin Cities, permits typically take about 1-3 weeks once plans are submitted. Some projects are faster, more complex designs can take a bit longer.

We handle all drawings, paperwork, and back‑and‑forth with the city/HOA for you, and we keep you updated so you’re never wondering where things stand. Once permits are approved, we schedule your start date and lock it in.
