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."

"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.

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

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?

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?

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.
