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."

Yes, you need to galvanize your wrought iron fence to protect it from rain and ensure its long-term durability. Galvanizing adds a protective zinc coating to the iron, preventing rust and corrosion caused by moisture exposure. This process involves dipping the iron into molten zinc, creating a barrier against the elements. While galvanized iron comes pre-treated, regular maintenance like painting with special outdoor iron paint can further enhance protection and reduce the risk of rust.
An average wrought iron fence costs more upfront than a wood fence but offers greater longevity and lower maintenance costs over time. While installing wood fencing is initially less expensive, ranging between $1,700 and $3,900, wood requires regular upkeep and may need replacing sooner. Wrought iron fencing, though more costly initially, can last a lifetime with minimal maintenance, making it a better long-term investment compared to wood fencing.
Painting a wrought iron fence usually costs between $8 and $10 per linear foot when hiring a professional. If you choose to do it yourself, you can save on labor costs, but be sure to use proper materials and techniques to ensure durability. Depending on the condition of your wrought iron fence, it may benefit from rust removal and multiple coats of paint. Choosing the right paint can make your fence more attractive and increase its long-term durability.
With proper maintenance, a high-quality wrought iron fence can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years. Keeping up with regular cleaning and refinishing every two to three years will help prevent rust and keep your fence looking its best. Consult a local wrought iron fence professional for suggestions on how to extend the lifespan of this specialty fence.
