Today, he's fiercely dedicated to his home state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities area customers who rely on him for custom, quality fence solutions. Hiring people he knows and trusts, Dan oversees every project from start to finish. The company is driven by his strong work ethic and hands-on approach, ensuring an exceptional experience and results that exceed expectations.

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."

We will make any project our best project.
"Horrible communication. Delayed work for months which cost us a lot of money. Brandon and Detailed by Design are not upfront about costs and their ability to complete projects on time. We met with the owner Brandon to address all the issues and finally agreed to a resolution which would have still been a loss to us however he reneged at the last minute and did not pay to replace the old furnace he tried to pass off as new. If you choose to use this business, check all receipts on "new" appliances they say they installed. We reported this business to the Department of Labor because of the shoddy work in installing the furnace and because the furnace was old when we paid for a new furnace. The dept of labor confirmed they were not licensed to install the furnace. We paid for a new furnace ourselves and a licensed contractor to install it. Overall a lot of issues and an absolute nightmare. We are still working on recouping some of our costs from this business."

we build decks and wood fences ,repairs,post replacement ,stair additions,railings,
"I called and asked a question about posts holding up my back deck, as to what needed to be done with them before they were covered up partly with dirt. Troy got back to me within minutes with a text explaining what was needed depending on what kind of posts they were. Then he informed me he was booked up for the rest of 2018. You can bet I'll contact him again if I need to do anything with the deck next year. I was impressed that he got right back to me even if it wasn't going to mean business for him."

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.
