Whether you’re looking for a privacy fence, or need to keep your pets safely contained in your yard, the fence installation experts at Northern can help! Your first step is to determine your fence’s overall size and a budget that works for you.
Start out by measuring the boundaries of your yard. Once you have determined your fence’s size, it’ll help you know what type of material you can afford.
If you need help, our fence installers can help you figure out the exact measurements of your fence and will give you an estimate on overall cost. Our estimates, as always, are FREE!
You can alwaysexpect superior customer service from your professional fence contractors at Northern Fence.
2. Choose Your Material
There are quite a few fence materials available. Popular choices include privacy wood fences for privacy from neighbors, a chain link fence to keep your dog(s) or other pets safe, or a vinyl fence to complement their garden or pool area. Check out our fence materials below in more detail:
- Wood Fence: The Northern Fence installers use beautiful, high quality red cedar for our wood fences and wood gates. Wood privacy fences are built to last you many years and are highly weather resistant. Wood fences can be installed as tall 8-ft. privacy fences or lattice top fences.
- Vinyl Fence: Vinyl fences, otherwise known as PVC fences, not only look great because of their white or lighter coloration, but also because they’re really easy to maintain. If you’re looking for little to no maintenance for your fence, you may want to opt for a beautiful white PVC fence.
- Chain Link Fence: Chain link fences are a great choice for residential customers seeking to contain their pets safely in a fenced-in area. Chain link fencing is both strong and durable and will add safety and security to your home or business at a lower cost when compared with other fencing types.
3. Contact Your Local Fence Installers
Once you have determined the purpose of your fence, its size, your approximate budget, and the material you’re interested in, it’s time to contact a local fence installation company.
Northern Fence has been serving the Fox Valley community for decades, and we provide affordable fencing services to you, plus FREE estimates!
Installation Process
Before building a fence, determine whether or not you need a permit to proceed. Also, identify if there are restrictions on height. Some fence limits include restrictions to 6 or 8 feet tall. The material will play a huge role in the fence’s longevity. Treated cedar for example can last up to 40 years if properly installed and maintained.
1. Plan Your Fence
Plan out your fence by determining whether you need a permit or if there are height restrictions. Next is determining your property line and how your fence will be erected in relation to that. To avoid any future disputes with your neighbors, review your plans with them. This can save a lot of headaches.
2. Measure Out The Fence Posts
Our fence crew then marks the outline of your proposed fence line with spray paint. Then, we will measure the outline of your perimeter with a measuring wheel. At this point, we will position your fence posts on the fence line every 6 or 8 feet.
3. Dig Holes
The expert fence installers at Northern Fence will then dig holes with a post hole digger below the frost line; this is especially important for colder climates like Wisconsin to offer the most support. We are careful to avoid any utility lines or pipes while we work.
4. Add Concrete and Gravel and Position Posts
After the holes are dug out, we will pour 3 to 4 inches of gravel for drainage and 6 to 8 inches of concrete mix. We then position the pole in the middle of the hole, making sure the mix is sloped away from the post.
5. Attach Rails/Panels to Posts
After the concrete has dried, we attach the rails or panels to the posts. We then secure the rails in properly with either 2.5 inch deck screws or galvanized 10d x 3 inch nails. We save time by using tools like a power drill or claw hammer.
6. Attach Pickets to Rails
Now it is time to begin attaching the pickets to the rails that were just installed. Once again, the team at Northern Fence uses the proper screws and nails to secure the pickets.
7. Attach Post Caps
If you opted to use post caps for your fence we install them on each post using a rubber mallet. We line them up and begin lightly tapping them down until they are snug.
8. Stain or Treat Wood
After building the fence, the wood must be treated with paint, satin or weather-proofing finish. We apply wood preservative at the base posts to prevent rotting. Apply new coats every 2 to 3 years.

Northern Fence is fantastic. The crew was friendly and polite. They explained everything in detail and before you knew it, I had the most beautiful fence in the neighborhood!! Thank you so much!

We shopped around and got quotes from several area fencing companies, Northern was by far the lowest. The crew showed up on time and finished the fence in one day. We get compliments from our neighbors all the time! Keagan was very friendly and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend them. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again if we needed fencing in the future.

Northern Fence installed a wood fence for me in late 2021. They were professional, timely, and installed a great product! Unfortunately, ol' man winter heaved up the fence section with the gate latch so it would not close properly. No problem - Northern came back, realigned the latch and repaired the gate! The same thing happened last winter and they are coming beck to get it all lined up again. This company is very responsive and helpful - much appreciated!

We had a great experience with Northern Fence! They worked with us on all the details while we were out of town, and we came home to a really clean black chain link fence installed exactly the way we needed it. Would highly recommend them for any size project!

It was a pleasure working with Jim on the 125’ of cedar privacy fence. We had an unexpected complication with a lot of rock and a limestone shelf. We developed a work-around and got it done for the original quote, very satisfying!

From Matthew doing the estimate and drawing for my building permit, to Mychele quickly responding to emails on scheduling, and to the installers, I had a great experience. The installation was done ahead of schedule by about 2 weeks. There were four installers who were friendly, respectful and informed me on how they would remove my old fence and put up the new one. I highly recommend Northern Fence to anyone who is thinking of a new fence.

Outstanding experience. I had 160' of dilapidated wooden board on board fence removed and replaced with vinyl privacy. Responded promptly to my request for a quote. Competitively priced. A 5 man crew was very well organized, efficient, and made certain the install was done according to my wishes. The work was completed in just over 4 hours, clean up was thorough, and was done 3 weeks earlier than originally scheduled. Use this company!

Northern Fence did a great job communicating ETA and expectations. They removed the old fence, didn't damage anything in the yard. The new fence looks much nicer than I expected and cost about $1000 less than the other quote. I would definitely recommend them

We hired Northern Fence to fence in our backyard and had them install 6’ white vinyl. They completed the job in 2 days and it turned out great! They were very responsive to all of my questions and met the install date that they initially provided.I would gladly hire them again and highly recommend them for your fencing needs!

I expressed my safety concerns about my special needs child running out of the yard and down the driveway. They were great helping us get our backyard secure and safe for her. They even suggested adding an additional gate for bringing bigger things into the yard, I hadn't even given that a thought and it has been a lifesaver...and they put the whole thing up in one day! Thanks for all your help and for the beautiful fence!

We have used Northern Fence three times since moving into our house. The first was our initial fence, second was a fence on the back side of our property, and the third was to move around a couple pieces and add a chain link over our driveway. Matt and his team have always been fantastic to work with and their prices are fair. I have had many people ask about fencing companies and I always suggest Northern Fence. If we ever had another house they would be the first contact for me if we needed a fence installed! They do fantastic work!

We bought our new home and struggled with what kind of fence to put up in our backyard. Northern Fence was amazing in helping with the expert advice! We chose a black coated chain link fence and couldn't be happier. From the initial visit and estimate to the day they installed I was very pleased with the punctuality, expertise, and work ethic! Every one of the employees were kind and respectful. I would use and recommend them highly!

Northern Fence came in at a good price compared to other companies we got quotes from. They were responsive to questions and worked quickly. Appointment got pushed back due to weather, but the company communicated with me every step of the way. I love my completed fence and so does my dogs!

Northern fence responded to our inquiry in a timely manner, and we were able to get our fence put in faster than we anticipated. The fence looks awesome and has made our yard much more private. We will definitely use them again for our next project!
Melissa Heuvelman
19:27 13 Dec 21
They were prompt and courteous. Committed to a project date and then delivered. Had one small adjustment to make after job was complete and they did not invoice for final amount until they satisfied our concern. Our fence is stronger than some others inn our neighborhood.

We love our new fence! We appreciate the help with getting all of our questions answered. Northern Fence really helped make our ideas turn in to reality. We have a 6 ft privacy fence in the front, and a 4 ft picket style fence in the back so we can continue to enjoy the view of the vast farm fields behind us.

21:28 03 Oct 21
Wonderful experience! They removed and disposed of our existing fence, and replaced with much nicer fencing with considerably more practical gates. All work was done well and quickly. We expected it'd be a 1.5-2 day project, but they were done within 8 hours. We couldn't be happier with the work!
Matt Jadin
20:53 26 Jul 21
Love my new fence! They did a great job, they also respond to your inquiries right away. I had told them I had family coming in from AZ for my install date and they actually told me they'd try to move it up (since it was a smaller job - not something I asked for) and they did by a week! Installers were courteous and it was done in no time at all! Highly recommend!
Paula Spencer

We had our fence installed last week and absolutely love it! We have a 10 month old puppy and it's a game changer to be able to let her out without a leash. She is so happy! The crew that installed the fence were very professional and fast! Even our neighbors commented how fast it was. The fence looks awesome. The office manager Mychele was very on top of things! We always got prompt emails to our questions, and updates on possible delays due to the rain last week. We will be recommending Northern Fence to anyone we know looking to get a fence.

I am so happy with my privacy fence that Northern Fence installed for me. I was really in a bind because we needed the fence installed sooner than later to keep new puppies in their backyard. I was originally quoted for June 28 or 29 but ended up having the fence installed 3 weeks early! The communication back and forth was amazing and the crew showed up a bit earlier than expected. They got the fence installed in no time and were very professional. I can’t wait to get my new lawn put in so I can truly enjoy the privacy this fence has given me. I can’t say enough about how happy I am. Thank you Northern Fence!!

We recently had Northern Fence install a vinyl fence around our back yard. We were impressed from beginning to end. They were quick to schedule us for a quote, very professional when we first met, had inventory to get the job done quickly and were reasonably priced. Communication on install timing was excellent and the crew was great. They had the job done in one day and left the yard immaculate when their work was done. I would highly recommend Northern Fence. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

We went to northern fence for our gate repair this summer and we are so happy we chose them! Everyone was extremely responsive and helpful. When we requested a quote they were very upfront about a ball park estimate and asked if we were comfortable mo ING forward. Northern Fence gave continued updates on install dates and even came earlier than they thought! Quality of our gate repair is awesome! Definitely would recommend Northern Fence for all fencing needs and when we can, we will use them for our future chain link repairs!

Prompt, reliable and quality service from initial contact to receive an onsite quote to installation. We wanted a fence within our budget and were provided many beautiful options. Installation date was scheduled in advance and date kept. Follow through with company was wonderful. We are happy and are spreading the work to our neighbors, friends and family to go with Northern Fence!

Great quality workmanship. We are impressed that they use metal posts instead of wooden posts that would rot, and then covered the exposed metal posts with wood. Love our new fence!

Had my old fence taken down and replaced with a new shadow box fence last year. Then rescued a dog later in the year and need to get a gate across driveway and completely surround my yard with fence. They came through beginning of this year and got it done. My dog and I both love it. Thanks guys.

I cannot express my happiness with my brand new fence from Northern Fence! The whole team is thorough, professional, efficient and knowledgeable at what they do. The Northern Fence team came early and worked in the blistering cold for 2 days (although if it was nice out i know that team could smash out a brand new fence in one day). i’m beyond thrilled. it looks great, and I can’t complain for the price! for all fencing needs: Northern Fence is the place to seek!

We can HIGHLY recommend Northern Fence. They were incredibly professional and did what they could to find out property lines in a pinch. The installers were incredibly nice as well. It was super hot weather while they were installing so we supplied a cooler of water for them!! They were so appreciative!After the install, we noticed a couple boards had some issues. Right after I sent the email to Matt, I had a response that they would come back Monday to replace; which they did!!Incredible customer service!! Hands down the best. We are very glad we went with them.

I can't say enough good things about Northern Fence. We had some questionable neighbors move in next door and we decided to build a privacy fence. Northern Fence was quick to give us a quote, quick to put us on the schedule and the guys that built the fence were fast. I checked other companies in the area and Northern Fence was by far the best deal. I highly recommend them if you want a job well done.

Our fence project turned out great! From the bidding process to the finished product, working with Northern Fence was an easy, positive experience. Small company, nice people. Because the project got pushed back a couple of times I almost gave them a four star rating instead of five. But the delay was due to weather - can hardly blame Northern for that!

Northern Fence did a great job. Came out for an estimate, got a quote, and had the job don all in a matter of 2 months. I called to get the ball rolling on this mid-season and figured there would be no way it would get done that quick. Very pleased with final product.

Contracted with Northern Fence to put in black vinyl coated fencing around our back yard to let our new puppy have room to run around. I was provided a very competitive bid fairly quick, but the weather pushed the project back. But once scheduled, it was done in less than a day and it looks fantastic. I would use them again.
