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.
"Northland Fence did an excellent job installing the new fence at my home. From start to finish, their team was professional, communicative, and efficient. They showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work with great attention to detail. The final result looks clean, sturdy, and exactly as promised. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for reliable and professional fence installation."

Fence installations and repairs for commercial and residential properties.
"Ryan (the owner) initially responded to my phone call asking for an estimate. There was some confusion about the date he was going to come out. The day that he did arrive, I found him to be very nice. He seemed very knowledgeable and I like how his company assembles their fences. He measured the backyard and said he'd email me a written estimate. That was on May 17th. I waited 1 week and finally called him and left a message. Waited a few more days, called him again and he said that a family emergency had come up but assured me he'd get me an estimate. Waited another week and contacted him. He was on the road, thought he had emailed it to me (no), but would resend it that evening when he returned. I have never gotten it. I'm sorry, because he seems like a nice guy who owns a fencing business that does quality work."

Inhouse design of one of a kind custom homes. exceptional value,unique features,hands on construction by family owned business. Customer satisfaction ultimate goal.
"Jay Burke came back to a home he had built for us in 2012 and finished the basement. He does not typically work on partial jobs, but since he built our home previously, he was happy to take it on. He added a 3/4 bath, large bedroom, finished storage area, and large family area. Final product is excellent. He had the framers who originally built the house come back and do all the framing, added HVAC, sheetrock, and everything else to deliver a superb final product. Build time was a couple months and price was less than I anticipated. Trim and all finishes match everything in the rest of the house. Jay Burke was again closely involved with all sub-contractors in the house and did a lot of the work himself. He only builds high quality products and it shows. Now having 3 building experiences with Jay Burke at Heartwood Homes, I cannot imagine how someone could not be very happy to work with him. Jay truly bends over backwards to make sure that things are done to the preferences of his customers and his build quality is excellent. I cannot thank him enough for what he's given our family. Great home to raise kids. Thank again Jay."

Most pros can complete residential projects within one to three days, depending on the size of your property and complexity of the job. Larger properties exceeding an acre may require additional days to complete properly. Weather conditions can also significantly impact the timeline. Proper planning and site preparation before installation begins can help minimize unexpected delays regardless of how complex the project is.
DIY projects can greatly cut down your expenses. However, effectively installing a fence on your own demands careful planning, precise measurements, and possibly tools you do not currently possess. Before moving forward, take an honest look at your comfort level with the project's labor. Keep in mind that inadequate installation can weaken the fence’s sturdiness. Many homeowners discover that a mixed strategy is most effective—taking care of basic prep work themselves but enlisting professionals for the fence installation.
From a long-term value perspective, vinyl fencing often provides excellent returns despite higher initial costs of $3,000 to $6,000 for a standard 150-foot fence. Its minimal maintenance requirements and extended lifespan offset the up-front investment. Chain link represents a middle-ground option at $1,500 to $4,000, offering durability with occasional maintenance needs.
Professional dog training specifically for fence boundary recognition typically costs around $50 per hour. Most pets require several sessions to fully understand the new boundaries, bringing total training expenses to $150 to $250. Traditional fence training focuses on discouraging climbing, digging, or other escape behaviors. Some installation companies offer combined packages that include both fence installation and introductory training sessions, potentially providing better overall value.
