St. Paul's brick and frame homes sit on compact lots with original fencing that has often outlived its service life. We've been installing and repairing fences across St. Paul and Minneapolis since 2011, and we know what works on these hills and bluffs above the river.

Our crews handle wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, gates, and automatic driveway gates. We're fully insured and AFA Member Installers.

Fence Service in St. Paul (55155)

St. Paul's residential character means tight lot lines, older fence runs that have settled or rotted at the post, and a mix of HOA rules and city setback requirements that vary block to block. We work on the compact lots around the river bluffs, the established neighborhoods with mature landscaping, and the master-planned communities where deed restrictions govern fence height, material, and color. We've replaced countless pressure-treated pine posts that failed at the concrete line, reset rails and stringers on fences that have racked over time, and installed new runs where the original fence is simply past repair.

Since 2011, we've learned St. Paul's fence code, the permit requirements that apply in different areas, and which materials hold up best on these properties. We work from your existing survey and the fence line you identify. Before we dig any post holes, we call 811 for a utility locate, because Minnesota law requires it and because hitting a line costs everyone time and money.

How a Fence Job Works in St. Paul

Step 1: You call us at (952) 206-3832 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment. We look at the existing fence, the property line, the terrain, access for our crew, and any HOA or city rules that apply. We talk through your goals, the material that makes sense, and the cost. We answer questions honestly and don't oversell.

Step 2: Once you approve, we order materials and schedule the work. For installation, our crew sets posts in concrete at proper spacing, installs rails and stringers, and hangs boards or panels. For repair, we replace rotted posts, reset leaning sections, repair or replace gates, and address hardware that has failed. On St. Paul's compact lots, we coordinate access carefully and work around existing landscaping and utilities. If your fence needs racking or stepped installation because of slope, we do that right.

Step 3: We clean up debris, haul away old material, and walk the job with you. You get a solid fence, set square and plumb, built to last.

Wood and privacy fence installation in St. Paul starts at $28 per linear foot. Vinyl runs from $39 per foot. Chain link is $16 per foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum start at $43 per foot. Fence repair begins at $470, and post replacement or repair runs from $470. Gate installation and repair start at $495. A full fence replacement and removal job typically runs $2,600 and up, depending on the length and material. Automatic and driveway gates start at $3,100. The final cost depends on the material you choose, the linear footage, site access, terrain, and whether old fence needs to come out first. Storm damage repair includes a free damage assessment. Call us at (952) 206-3832 for a free estimate tailored to your property.

What causes fence posts to rot at the ground line in St. Paul?

Moisture collects at the base of posts set in concrete, especially on the compact lots and varied terrain around St. Paul. Pressure-treated pine absorbs water at the concrete line, and rot works upward from there. The post stays solid above ground but fails at the soil interface. We replace rotted posts with new stock set in fresh concrete and proper drainage. Wood posts typically last 15 to 20 years before this happens.

Does my St. Paul fence need a city permit?

Permit rules vary across St. Paul and the surrounding area. Some jurisdictions require a permit for new fence installation; others do not. Many require one for replacement. Height, setback, and material rules are set by the city or county and differ by location. If you're in a master-planned community, your HOA likely has architectural standards for height, material, and color. We recommend checking with the St. Paul building department and your HOA (if you have one) before we start. We can help coordinate that conversation.

My fence is leaning. Can it be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

It depends on why it's leaning. If posts have settled unevenly or shifted in the ground, we can sometimes reset them and re-brace the run. If posts are rotted or cracked, replacement is the better spend. If the rails and stringers are sound but the pickets or panels have failed, we can often rebuild just those sections. We'll assess the fence on site and tell you honestly whether repair makes sense or replacement is the right call.

What happens if my fence is damaged in a storm?

Call us right away at (952) 206-3832. We'll schedule a free damage assessment and document what we see. We can help you gather photos and notes for your insurance claim. What gets covered depends on your policy and your deductible, so contact your agent. We'll provide an honest repair or replacement estimate based on what the fence needs.

Can you install a gate on my existing fence in St. Paul?

Yes. We install gates on wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental metal fences. Gate installation starts at $495. We can hang a single swing gate, a double gate, or add an automatic driveway gate operator (starting at $3,100). The cost depends on the gate width, material, hardware, and whether the existing fence posts need reinforcement to carry the gate load. We'll measure and quote on site.

Are you fully fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We are also AFA Member Installers, which means we meet the standards set by the American Fence Association for quality and craftsmanship.

How do I know where my property line is so we can install the fence in the right place?

We work from your existing survey. If you have a survey on file, bring it with you to the on-site assessment. If you don't have one, a licensed land surveyor can establish your property line and provide a plat. We install on the line you identify. Before we dig any post holes, we call 811 for a utility locate, as required by Minnesota law.
