Metro Fence Installers is a local, family-owned company specializing in wooden privacy, chain link, PVC, and ornamental fencing. We are fully licensed and insured (License #C148912) and committed to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Most projects require no money upfront—payment is collected only after the job is complete, unless materials exceed $4,000, in which case a 50% deposit is required. We provide all materials, expert installation, and free estimates to make your fencing project simple and stress-free.

"Fence turned out great! There were some hiccups with power lines and some other surprises found underground, but they were quick to let me know and inform me. We came up with quick fixes and work was fast and effective."

We are a Fencing specialist. We install all types of Fencing including Chain link/Black or Galvanize Fences. Wood Privacy Fences, Vinyl Privacy Fences, Ornamental Fences and Commerical Fencing. We are a family owned and operated business. We pride ourselves in giving the Customer the quality workmanship that we would expect from a company that we would hire ourselves.

"Steve showed up first to give us a quote. We did ask for additional quotes from other businesses and decided to go with him, as his quote listed every detail about the work. The price of the project was very competitive with other estimates. Since we weren't sure what we really needed, Steve provided excellent guidance. He and his crew went the extra mile to make sure we were happy and satisfied with the final product. I would recommend Fancing Solutions to anyone because I am confident they will do a good job."

FOR QUICKEST RESPONSE TIME, EMAIL OR MESSAGE US! -- 4x Super Service Award Winner, specializing in construction services such as Remodeling, Painting, Carpentry, Roofing, Decks/Porches, and Stucco. Our work ethic is simple, we concentrate on quality. We cannot offer cheap prices and quality, and I do not wish to do poor work. We also believe in taking care of everything you need. For example: I don't hire out my gutter work, we do it the right way, we handle everything including the rotted boards that may be underneath your old gutters, for example. We would prefer to paint our own siding, because I like to use good paint that makes our siding last! If you want cabinets or other woodworking, we finish the work so you don't have to set up a painter, and we install it. Those are good examples of how we handle a project. Also, it's simple to one stop shop with us, it's just easier! We wear all the hats that you will need on any project. As well, I'm the owner, and I'll be there to make sure everything is done the way it's supposed to be done, not what is necessarily the quickest or easiest method. Give us a call today for all of your construction needs!

"Great job, went above and beyond. They were able to speak with our insurance to get full roof covered instead of partial after a tree hit a section of our roof."

"1. Decided not to go through with this work. As products I was advised to order by contractor were out of stock and decided to do the work with a friend. 2. Looks good! 3. Floors look great; subcontracted out. Should've had couple items clearly written out before work began but happy with the work completed. Dispose of all trash/scrapes myself. I wouldn't hire again due to a couple issues but work completed was an A."

He kept push us out on his calendar. We dropped him. He had us paid for the hour that he worked on the Chimney before exiting. Very poor communication if we are scheduled?

Fencing questions, answered by experts

For Des Moines fencing projects, pressure-treated wood is popular for its classic look and resilience against IA's variable weather, though it requires regular maintenance. Vinyl is favored for low maintenance and durability, especially in areas with frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Aluminum offers rust resistance, while chain link remains a practical, budget-friendly choice. Consult local suppliers familiar with Des Moines' climate for the best material options.

Helpful?

Before starting a fencing project in Des Moines, verify property lines with a professional property survey to prevent boundary disputes. Review fence height regulations and material restrictions from the City of Des Moines Permit and Development Center. Call 811 to mark underground utilities, clear the installation area, and apply for all necessary permits. These steps help ensure compliance and avoid costly project delays.

Helpful?

Des Moines experiences freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring rains, which can affect fence stability and installation timing. Spring and fall are ideal for fencing projects due to milder temperatures and workable soil. The City of Des Moines recommends avoiding winter installations, as frozen ground complicates post setting. Selecting weather-resistant materials and planning around local climate patterns helps ensure long-lasting results.

Helpful?

In Des Moines, fencing permits are generally required if your fence exceeds 3 feet in a front yard or 4 feet for chain link or wire fences in side or rear yards, as outlined by the City of Des Moines Permit and Development Center. Retaining walls over 48 inches also need permits. Always review local fence height regulations and submit a site plan for approval before starting your project.

Helpful?

In Des Moines, common fencing mistakes include building without a permit, misjudging property lines due to lack of a property survey, and ignoring local fence height regulations. Using untreated wood or shallow posts can lead to premature rot or instability, especially with IA's wet springs. Consulting the City of Des Moines Permit and Development Center and following local guidelines helps prevent these costly errors.
