"Northstars Fence did a great job on a fence for us. Their crew removed the old fencing and installed about 160 feet of 6 foot wood fence in our back yard. The job was done perfectly in one day and we couldn't be happier. And their cost was by far the lowest bid."

"I hired them to install a fence to match my neighbors existing fence. The existing fence was installed by a company called Clover. The attention to detail and perfection exhibited by Nimmer Co out shines the other company by miles. They took great care not to destroy my grass by placing plywood down as they drive their equipment around. I wish I could post comparison photos but the dumb site only allows for 5mb worth of pictures. So here is one showing how straight the fence is. Look how perfectly in line that is."

"We hired Deandre and his crew for our fence project. He tore down the old fence and hauled away. They then installed a cedar fence along our property line. Communication was great. The job was done promptly, and efficiently. Looks great at a fair price. Will be calling him again."

"This was a very positive experience hiring Milwaukee Exteriors. From beginning to end, I found their service and professionalism to be the best of the best! The fence they installed is perfect, detailed, built to last, and beautiful. The crew was on the job and never stopped until the job was done. The foreman was polite and told me what to expect, as well as walked me around when the job was done for my approval. I would highly recommend Milwaukee Exteriors for any future projects!!"

"Oasis provided a good price and did a good job removing the large willow tree stump. The only reason I could not give them a 5 was due to some communication issues when scheduling the work. Also, I had verbally given them my approved for the additional step (not explicitly stated in the original quote) of laying down some topsoil and seeding the area but they did not return so I just completed that step myself."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

A horizontal fence is typically more expensive to build than a vertical fence, often costing between 10% and 20% more. The higher cost is due to the need for a higher grade of lumber and more posts to prevent the boards from sagging, which increases both material and labor expenses. Despite the higher price, horizontal fences tend to be more durable and offer a more distinct, modern look compared to the more common vertical picket style. However, they may not be the best option for privacy, as there can be slight gaps between the horizontal rails.

The best wood for fence posts are redwood, cedar, and pressure-treated pine. Wood posts made from these materials will typically lasts between 15 and 30 years, depending on the specific type you choose and your local climate. With proper care and maintenance, a fence post made of these materials can withstand most weather conditions.

All fences offer some degree of privacy, but standard perimeter fences may not be designed with that in mind. Dedicated privacy fences, however, tend to enclose smaller areas and feature more high-end materials that truly emphasize seclusion and comfort. Additionally, privacy fences typically offer fewer gaps to peek in through than standard fences, though you can likely adjust that to suit your preferences. 

Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.
