Fence Me In

Bottom line: you will receive a quality fence/end product and the employees, including install crew and office staff, are responsive and helpful. Read on for more detail: We moved to the Twin Cities from Texas in late August 2019. We have two large dogs so my main criteria for a home here was to have a large fence or ability to install a large fence. We ended up purchasing a home with 1/3 acre lot that could be fenced following zoning permit guidelines by the City. I drove up here from Texas on 8/22 and received multiple estimates for fences on 8/23 to get a fence erected ASAP for my dogs. I was slightly more impressed with the estimating professionals from other companies and with the speed at which we received competing estimates, but ultimately, Fence Me In got us the best price and had the quickest timeline for install (3.5 weeks versus other companies that were 6-8 weeks out for installs). Fence Me In also offers a limited lifetime warranty on labor and materials which was agreeable as well. The only reason this review is four stars vs. five was due to lack of communication for number of days our install would take. From the moment we paid deposit to the day of install, I was under the impression install would take a single day. When the crew showed up on day one, I was finally informed it would be a two-day install and they would return the next day to finish. Based on this information, I setup our City zoning permit inspection for after day two. On day two, after hours (~6 PM) I was then informed by the crew they would need another day to finish. I had to scramble to call the City the next morning at opening to move my scheduled inspection since the fence wasn't completed. My only wish was that there was more open communication from Fence Me In on length and progress of install. Nonetheless, as I said, bottom line, Fence Me In will not disappoint you with the quality of the fence, workmanship, and office help. Our fence did not pass the final zoning permit inspection at first as a fence post was slightly off our property line in one corner. Fence Me In worked with the City to identify what the correction was and worked us in in a timely manner to fix the permit correction among other installs and with a lot of rainy weather. The crew corrected the issue yesterday and the fence passed inspection this morning.

First photo shows the state of our OLD fence after we demo'd it (very satisfying for us to take down and painfully easy thanks to shoddy DIY workmanship by the previous 1 or 2 owners). Last photos are Fence Me In's beautiful work. Had an amazing time working with all the employees. The adjuster was really great about working in our budget, and not BSing us or upselling. Smart about what could and couldn't be done (one of our gates is tricky to install without it eventually sagging but they made it work!). Working with Liz was easy, she was incredibly pleasant and willing to work with my schedule, and very good about keeping communication as smooth as possible. The guy who came to do the work was FAST! We did demo of our old fence on our own, and I was nervous about removing some pieces. No problem AT ALL, they just took them down and removed them without questions. The week was very rainy, so I had assumed they would have to go into the following week. Nope! Day 1, posts were in, Day 2, done. and BEAUTIFULLY. The wood is gorgeous, and the hardware used was completely unexpected! Beautiful hinges without having to ask for stylized pieces. I'm SO impressed, and very pleasantly surprised. All this for pricing that was incredibly reasonable. Thank you Fence Me In, for helping to make my backyard FINALLY beautiful!

Fence Me In gave our yard a much needed upgrade. A two little boy household, we’ve needed a fence to define our yard for a few years now. We comparison shopped, contacting two well known companies in the area and Charlie with Fence Me In. We received three quotes, one painfully high, one more than we would have liked to pay, and one below what we thought we’d have to pay. We received the most expensive quote first, and speaking to their rep on the phone was a painful customer service experience. I told him his prices were higher than what we were quoted and when I told him what they were, he replied rudely, “Well, you better do your due diligence.” Fence Me In came in with the lowest quote (almost $2,000 less than the nearest bid), including a very reasonable quote for removal of the existing fence, for which another company wanted to charge us $500. He talked us through the process, and was very flexible with his schedule. Their team was professional, fast, and efficient, even working on a bitter cold and windy day to get the project finished. We now have a 6 foot alternating cedar picket fence that looks beautiful and, just this morning, passed inspection! Consider your due diligence done. Fence Me In’s prices are not too good to be true. They did it for us, let them do it for you.

I recently had the pleasure of engaging with Fence Me In for a cedar fence installation in my home here in Minneapolis. From start to finish, the service I received was nothing short of phenomenal. The cedar fence itself is beautifully crafted and solidly built, greatly enhancing the aesthetic and privacy of my property. The team not only did a meticulous job on the installation but also exhibited the utmost professionalism throughout the process. One aspect that truly stood out was their willingness to accommodate my specific requests. When asked if they could relocate the post dirt to a certain area, they promptly obliged with no fuss. It's those small things that show a company's commitment to customer satisfaction. Moreover, their expertise shone when making practical suggestions regarding the fence layout. For instance, they advised on the direction the gate should swing – a detail I hadn't considered but which now makes a world of difference in ease of use and functionality. I must applaud Fence Me In for their exceptional service, brilliant workmanship, and their respectful and professional team. They've turned my vision into reality, and I couldn't be happier with the result. If you're in the Twin Cities and need a fence, look no further than Fence Me In. Highly recommended!

A month or so I reached out to Charlie to get a quote and received a response back almost instantly. I didn't have to give him a ton of info, just the measurements and he gave me a rough estimate. (Much preferred over having to meet with a sales person from another company to find out the price was WAY out of my range.) He then came out, talked through everything with me, and then gave me an official bid, which was actually less than the original estimate. He set up an official install time, arrived with his crew, and completed the fence in the time we had previously discussed. Charlie was great to deal with, as were the members of his crew. Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about what they were doing. My fence looks great. It's level and straight, the gates open the direction that makes sense. (I was consulted as to how I wanted them to open.) Everything went off without a hitch, and I'm very pleased with my new cedar fence. People always say "you get what you pay for" however, I don't know why anyone would pay double for a product that is exactly the same from Fence Me In. I'd highly recommend Fence Me In to anyone looking for a new fence.
