"I highly recommend Northland Fence. They make building a fence easy! They are truly fence professionals starting from the initial meeting with the design specialist to the fence crew and the office staff plus they have a great website that includes a video of how the fence is constructed. When I first saw my finished fence I was amazed! Northland Fence exceeded my expectations! Now I have a great, high quality fence with a 10 year warranty!"
"I would hire this fence company again. They were informative and fast. My fence was up in less than a day. I got the black fencing. I get compliments on it all the time."
"I am so pleased with the new fence that was installed. Rob was very prompt and knowledgeable. He kept me informed about when work was to be done, very professional. The work crew did such a great job, Mike's workmanship at building my fence was exceptional. I highly recommend this company."
"We are very pleased with the results of the new fence! It adds so much to the look of our backyard. Brandon did an excellent job (some of the old posts were a bear to remove!) And Charles connected with us many times to check the progress of the project to ensure it was going well. Both are very personable and were a pleasure to work with. Will definitely contact them again if we have another project."

"As many of you know--finding a reputable home improvement company can be quite a challenge. We had some major projects to do in our yard and initially reached out to multiple companies requesting bids on building a 40 x 10 foot pergola, repairing a cedar fence and staining another major structure in our yard. Our experience in contacting home improvement companies was so disappointing. Inaccurate bids, no shows, and people showing up that presented themselves as home improvement companies but didn’t know what the heck they were doing. The only company that took the time to provide frequent consultation, accurate estimates, multiple visits to our property and consistent follow-up was Twin City Handyman! The entire staff was attentive to our needs and the projects were well done and completed on time. A big shout out to Darren, Kathy, Cory and Johnny and other staff members who assisted in completing our projects for their expertise and attention to detail. We highly recommend this company for all of your home improvement needs. Now, other members of our family are using TCH for their projects as well! Thanks TCH for a job well done. It was a pleasure working with you."
"Hidden Fence was a lifesaver! With a 10 year old Great Dane, and a one-year-old mini Aussie, we moved to a new home with the system already installed. HFOMN were easy to get ahold of and were informative and responsive. They were able to widen the boundaries to fit our needs, and while the training in the first week was certainly time consuming, the result was well worth it! I am extremely pleased, and would recommend to all pet owners that don’t want a physical fence, but also don’t believe in tying up their fur-babies. My pooches are so much more calm when neighbors pass, and they respect their boundaries. Thank you, Hidden Fence of Minnesota!"
"Ridgeline Fence and Deck were amazing to work with. They made the process of getting a nice fence installed seamless. I was able to have all my questions answered in a timely manner. They use quality materials, & the building crew was efficient and had very kind customer service."
Yes, you can use a floor jack to remove fence posts. Attach a stem to the base of the fence post so you can position the floor jack underneath. The stem can be a scrap piece of wood attached with nails or a sturdy nail itself. Put the jack beneath the stem and push the lever to lift up on the fence post and remove it from the ground.
The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about 6 to 8 feet between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing.
You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels.
Glass has one of the longest lifespans of any fencing materials, lasting anywhere from 10 to 30 years on average. Just how long your glass fence lasts depends on several factors, including how well you maintain your fence, the climate, and the type of glass you use.
If you live somewhere with severe weather like hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes, expect your glass to have a shorter lifespan. Pool glass is one of the thickest tempered glass materials and may last longer than other options—especially compared to laminated glass.
The average cost to install a wrought iron fence is around $3,150, with typical project costs ranging from $470 to $10,500. The final price can vary significantly based on several factors, including the fence's total length and height, design complexity, metal thickness, and your property's topography.
For materials alone, you can expect to pay around $25 to $35 per linear foot. When including installation, the cost is typically between $50 and $70 per linear foot.
Additional factors that can influence the total cost include:
Custom designs, decorative flourishes, gates, and columns
Labor costs in your area
The need for permits
Land preparation, such as old fence removal, tree or bush clearing, and land grading
For an accurate estimate, it is best to consult a professional fence installer with the specific measurements and design requirements for your project.
