"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."

"Phenomenal craftsmanship. Very reasonable quote and on time every day. Built a new porch to code! I am very impressed with the porch that was built. Mr. Bilder did a complete rebuild. It looks fantastic and I would hire him again. Highly recommended. He will explain everything in detail and will answer all of your questions AND he will keep you updated as the project progresses. I am VERY happy with Mr. Bilder! It took much less time to complete than I was anticipating. I will hire him in the spring for some additional work I need done."

"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."

"RNR has done it again! I have tried for over a year to find someone to do some skirting around the back of my house. Some said that they could do it but the pricing was far more than I was budgeting, and some who could not see my vision. I wanted to make sure feral cats and other wildlife could live rent free so the skirting was needed to protect my home and provide a cosmetic upgrade as well. I look forward to our next project!"

Fencing FAQs, 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.

The standard height for a split rail fence is three or four feet. This height requires two to three horizontal rails, making it ideal for homeowners wanting a budget-friendly split rail fence. If you’re hoping to contain agile livestock or animals like dogs, geese, or goats, you may prefer to install a six-foot tall fence with four or five rails or a four-foot-tall fence with three horizontal rails. This will help prevent animals from climbing, crawling, or jumping through the rails.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

There are many types of wood fencing that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.

Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you’re going for, check out vinyl fencing.

The best fence option for you depends on your property, budget, and style preferences, but a corrugated metal fence could be a good option if you want something durable yet low-maintenance. Unlike wood, corrugated metal won’t fall prey to rot or pest damage, and the metal can be recycled after its life as a fence comes to an end.
