Dan Buranen founded Top Line Fence in 1991, but his passion for fences started long before his professional career. As a child, he spent hours building with Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs. This hobby evolved into subcontracting for fence companies, dabbling with fence projects for his own clients, and ultimately launching his own company. 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. The company can maintain its high-quality control and workmanship standards with 10 acres of property for receiving and storing fence materials. Find out how Top Line Fence can design and build the right fence for your home or business, or simply contact us for a FREE estimate today.
"Very flexible on scheduling. Installer did a great job, communicated well, and was very friendly. Very happy with our new fence. So is our dog!"

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.
"I will be recommending Northland Fence to everyone! From the first phone call I made with Josalyn, Rachel and Brittany to the building team Larissa, Michael, Cooper, Jaxson and Josh they were BEYOND professional, nice, prompt, respectful and hardworking. Our fence is perfect and everything we wanted. Whoever is in charge is VERY lucky to have people and a team like this. Outstanding! It’s hard to find good workers and people now a days and this team is special. Thank you Northland Fence team for really completing our forever home and just being all around great. 10/10 experience!"

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."

Arko Exteriors has built its reputation on customer satisfaction. Our commitment to our customers is the cornerstone of our success. We provide professional, accurate and timely inspections to determine damage and avoid frivolous claims. We work hand in hand with our customers through the entire insurance claim process. Dealing with insurance claims can be a major hassle. Our experienced staff have built relationships with and frequently work with insurance companies. Our industry knowledge and insight on storm damage allows us to work directly with most all insurance companies. That means we’ll complete your roof repair or replacement while also keeping the entire process as smooth and simple as possible. Superior and talented craftsmen are the backbone of our company, and we’re always committed to the satisfaction of our customers. An attention to detail and thorough workmanship is what we pride ourselves on. Whether it’s having all the angles straight or just having all the light bulbs on and working, every job is equally important to us. We guarantee it!
"Our experience with Nic at Arko was top notch. He was personable, friendly and listened to what we wanted to have completed on our project. Throughout the project, he communicated well and often. Overall, we are satisfied with the final outcome of our roof being redone. The 5 stars is for Nic, I wish I could rate different aspects of our experience differently. For the crew, I'd probably give 2 to 3 stars. They laid tarps out around our house and garage, however it was windy that day and they didn't weigh them down, so they blew around and a lot of tear-off material ended up in our landscaping rock, which goes all around the house. We picked up over 200 nails when they were all done with their cleanup, which included using a leaf blower to blow off patio and driveway and blew the nails and slate into the rock, which pretty much buried the nails in the rocks since the rocks were blown around as well. When we called Nic about this, he sent Wyatt to come out with a magnet and was very thorough in the grass areas around house and found quite a few more nails. He was also very polite and friendly. In the past months since the work has been completed, we are still finding random nails and I'm sure we will find more over the years as the rocks shift. Another issue we had was when the crew was loading the shingle packs onto the roof, they were dropping them from waist level, rather then bending and setting them down. I understand they are heavy, but we now have squeaks in our house where we didn't before. It shook and rattled the house like they were going to come through the roof. We brought our concerns to Nic and he was going to relay them to the correct people. I hope its been addressed and future customers won't have the same problems. A few days after roof was done, we had a very hard rain with wind. There was some water in our garage by our furnace. Nic came out the same day and spent a large amount of time trying to figure out where it had come from. He was very thorough and took lots of pictures, went in attic of garage and on the roof. We determined it was from the wind blowing the rain sideways and through the exhaust pipe. It hasn't happened since so I am comfortable with that determination."
