"Tim did an excellent job. His crew removed my old fence and installed a new fence in two days. He was a one stop company. He did everything from furnishing a bid, buying the materials obtaining the permits, and having the utilities lines checked. The only thing I did was agree to do the job and write the check at the end. I highly recommend him for your fence work."

"If you need any type of fence installed or repaired, I suggest you contact A & E Fence. You will not be disappointed! This company provides excellent customer service, offers competitive pricing, and they do fantastic work. I needed my vinyl fence repaired, so I filled out a request for an estimate on the A & E website. I submitted the form on a weekend. On Monday, Eli contacted me and came to my home to prepare the estimate. Within a few days, the crew from A & E Fence were at my home and completed the repairs. My fence looks amazing! A & E employees are very knowledgeable, personable, and they pay attention to detail. They completed the repairs exactly as I requested. When the crew was finished, they did a fantastic job cleaning up the work area. I am very impressed with A & E. I HIGHLY recommend A & E Fence."

"Hoss was wonderful, friendly, efficient, everything we could have asked for. We needed our fence done fast. And in two half days(dude to the rain) they had our old fence and trees down and the new fence up. He addressed our concerns happily. And even went the extra mile to block off another area for us for no extra charge"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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.

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.
