Fence Installation and Repair in Minneapolis

Minneapolis has a distinctive housing stock: wood-frame homes built between 1900 and 1930, many on narrow alley-served lots where the fence line runs from house to garage. That configuration is real, and it shapes every job we do. Posts set in concrete, proper spacing, and depth matter more than most homeowners realize, especially in a climate where ground conditions shift. We know how to set posts that hold, and we know the city and county setback rules, height limits, and corner-visibility requirements that apply to your property.

Since 2011, our team has installed wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, ornamental metal, gates, and automatic driveway systems across Minneapolis and the surrounding area. We also handle fence repair, post replacement, storm damage assessment, and fence removal. If your fence is worth saving, we say so. If replacement makes better sense, we explain why.

How a Fence Job Works in Minneapolis

Step 1: Free on-site assessment. You call us at (952) 206-3832 or contact us online. We come out, look at your property, listen to what you want, and check the local code rules that apply to your lot. We talk about material, height, setback, and budget. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Step 2: Before we dig, we file a Minnesota 811 utility locate. That is the law, and we do it every time. Once utilities are marked, we set posts, install rails and pickets or panels, hang gates, and finish trim and hardware. Our crews do the work themselves, not subcontractors. On a typical Minneapolis lot with tight alley access, we work efficiently and keep disruption to your neighbors minimal.

Step 3: We clean up debris, haul away scrap, and walk the fence line with you to make sure everything is square, level, and built to code. You get a clean property and a fence that will hold.

Pricing depends on material, height, total linear feet, post spacing, gate count, and site access. Wood and privacy fence runs from $28 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC start at $39 per linear foot. Chain link begins at $16 per linear foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum start at $43 per linear foot. Fence repair jobs start at $470. Gate installation and repair start at $495. Automatic and driveway gates start at $3,100. Fence post repair and replacement start at $470. Fence removal and replacement start at $2,600. These are ballpark starting prices, and the final cost depends on the scope of your job. Call us at (952) 206-3832 for a free estimate, or contact us online. We will give you an honest number based on what you actually need.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Minneapolis?

Permit requirements vary by city and county across the Minneapolis area. Some jurisdictions require a permit for any new fence; others have thresholds based on height or material. Your property may also be subject to HOA architectural standards or deed restrictions that govern fence height, material, and color. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. Before we start, we recommend checking with your local building department and, if applicable, your HOA. We can help coordinate, but the final determination rests with the authority having jurisdiction.

What is the difference between wood and vinyl fencing?

Wood fencing, typically cedar or pressure-treated pine, is classic, customizable, and starts at $28 per linear foot. It needs periodic staining and maintenance to hold up over time. Vinyl and PVC fencing is low-maintenance, does not rot or splinter, and costs more upfront (starting at $39 per linear foot), but it lasts longer and requires minimal upkeep. Both are solid choices. We can help you weigh durability, maintenance, budget, and aesthetics for your property.

My fence is leaning and looks like it might fall. Do I need a new fence?

Not always. A leaning fence is usually a sign that posts have shifted or are not set deep enough. We can often repair it by resetting posts, adding anti-sag bracing, or reinforcing the structure. Post replacement starts at $470. If the boards or panels are still sound, repair is usually cheaper than replacement. We will assess the damage on-site and tell you what makes sense. Call us at (952) 206-3832.

What do I do if a storm damages my fence?

Call us right away at (952) 206-3832. We offer free damage assessment and can help document the damage for your insurance claim. We handle storm repair work, including fence sections brought down, gates off hinges, and posts that have failed. We will give you an honest estimate for repair or replacement. We can help you file the paperwork with your insurer, but final coverage decisions rest with your insurance company.

Do you install automatic driveway gates?

Yes. Automatic and driveway gates start at $3,100 and include the operator, hardware, and installation. We install cantilever and V-track systems, self-closing and self-latching hardware, and can integrate access controls. We also repair existing gates that drag, bind, or are off their hinges. Call (952) 206-3832 for a free site quote.

What if my neighbor's fence is on my property line or encroaches on my lot?

Property line disputes are real and require careful handling. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. If there is a question about where the line actually sits, that is a job for a licensed land surveyor, not a fence contractor. Once the survey is clear, we can help you address the situation with your neighbor or with local code enforcement. We recommend resolving it before we dig.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our team is AFA Member Installers (American Fence Association), and we bring the same crew to every job. You can trust that the work is done right and that you are protected.
