Anchor Iron is a third generation family business that was established in 1953. We manufacture and install all types of custom iron work from step and deck railings to storm doors and windowboxes. We offer no cost, no obligation estimates and year round installations.
"Anchor Iron railings were installed with excellent work, looking great! As a superior professional family business, we're impressed. Our purpose of being able to walk with improved balance, using a cane while holding each railing, was a helpful blessing!"

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."

"This was the worst experience we have ever had with a home project. We went with this company because of the type of fence we wanted and they said they would core our concrete. From the beginning it was not good. The fence was installed incorrectly, and had dents and chips. They said they would core our concrete for the posts, but they saw cut it and cracked a portion of our concrete. They set and reset the posts three times to get it level and never did get it plumb. You would hope the company would be willing to make it right, but it was very difficult to get responses. We almost got a lawyer. I would never recommend this company! I wish we would have looked at Angies list because they were listed #31 out of #34 when we did look which was after we started having problems with them."

Installing a chain link fence takes about two days. One day is for setting the posts in concrete, and the next is for installing the fence. Additional time may be needed if your project covers more than 150 feet. Talk with your fencing contractor before starting to determine the total time required for your project.
With proper maintenance, a chain link fence can last up to 20 years. Regular care helps prevent issues like sagging due to tension wire stretching or loose posts. Repairs range from $300 to $800 on average, though major repairs can exceed $1,500. Depending on the severity of the damage, replacement can also be a cost-effective long-term option.
Chain link fencing is often more affordable than wood fencing. Wooden fencing costs $20 to $50 per linear foot, including labor and materials, whereas chain link fences are more budget-friendly at $8 to $40 per linear foot. The design options, materials, and local labor rates will determine the total cost.
Renting a temporary chain link fence costs an average of $2 per linear foot per month. However, prices can vary depending on your location, the total length of fencing required, and the rental duration. Short-term rentals often come with additional fees, such as delivery, setup, or removal charges that increase your overall cost.
