At Northland Fence, we believe a fence should enhance your property’s security and curb appeal—not become an expensive, high-maintenance regret. That’s why we offer top-tier ornamental steel, vinyl, and black chain link fencing designed to last for decades. Some companies still push warping, rotting wood fences or flimsy, dent-prone aluminum fencing, but we know better. Wood may start out looking great, but give it a few brutal Minnesota winters, and you’ll be dealing with splinters, sagging boards, and endless repairs. As for cheap aluminum? One storm, a stray baseball, or even a strong gust of wind can leave it bent and battered. We also retired galvanized chain link fencing years ago—just like many HOAs did. Let’s be honest: while it was once the standard, it’s now an eyesore. If you’re matching an existing galvanized fence, that’s understandable. But when the neighbors upgrade, do you really want to be the last house on the block with a dull, rusting relic? Instead, our sleek black chain link fences provide a modern, HOA-friendly alternative that blends seamlessly into any landscape. At Northland Fence, we stand by quality, durability, and craftsmanship. No subcontractors. No cheap materials. No gimmicks. Just expert fence installation backed by industry-leading warranties and financing options to fit any budget. When it’s time to invest in a fence, don’t settle for something that will become a neighborhood eyesore. Choose Northland Fence—where quality meets longevity, and style never takes a backseat to function.

"Fence installation went exactly as outlined. Very satisfied with fence and employees."

"The only problem I saw was the barb wire was not straight on a 30 foot section and the dirt around a few of the posts was not packed right. The price was pretty good and they did the job the next day after estimate. One of the workers was kind of rude to me after the job was done? all in all I may hire them again but will get more than 1 estimate next time"

"We needed to increase the height of the railing on our stairwell for safety, so we had a custom iron rail made to go on top of the existing wood piece. The railing Loftus made is beautiful and exactly what we need. (Pic attached – we will be adding an additional wood top rail soon). Although we know the job was small for them and didn't expect to be in constant communication, I would say that the communication was a bit lacking. But – it did get made and installed! However, installers seemed to be hurried and caused a couple scratches in our existing wood top (which I had just refinished)."

"I was in need of soffit, fascia, and siding. Had an estimate drawn up for all of it. We decided to just do gutters, soffit, and fascia (thankfully). Did a walk through, and contract signing gave them half down (all professional up to this point). Then it went downhill. Short story, the job is done 2.5 months later. Sales guy goofed, mishandled the situation. Water behind the fascia, lights not reinstalled, coax not put back. Countless emails, calls etc. Just got off the phone with Charles who went off on me because he thought I was some other guy. But at least I let them finish the job, not like the other guy from last year. Well, apparently I am not the only one."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical. Professional fence or gate repair costs average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.

Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.

Your dog might be able to slip underneath chewable, flexible fabric gate covers. When you have a wayward woofer, using wooden panels that come within an inch or two of the ground is the most secure option. You may need a metal defense barrier dug into the soil to keep your dog from digging under your fence or gate.

The average cost to install a gate is around $2,300, but you could pay between $200 and $7,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factors to consider are the gate type of gate you want installed and the gate material. Automatic gates leading to your driveway will usually be the most expensive options, given the size and weight of the gate, as well as the added cost of the electronics for control. Chain-link and vinyl gates will usually be the most affordable, while aluminum and metal gates fetch the highest prices.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a building permit, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor’s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under $100. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.
