Caution!
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing.

If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Green Bay and Appleton area use!

There are many benefits to installing a gate on your property, including increased security, privacy, and curb appeal. A gate can help deter intruders and unwanted visitors, as well as provide a barrier to keep children and pets safely contained. It can also enhance the aesthetics of your property and add value to your home.

You may want to consider more than one gate to allow for extra access points to your property, or you might also need a separate, wider entry point for automobiles, recreational vehicles, access for lawn care equipment, or leisure activities.

Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is naturally rust and corrosion-resistant.

For this reason, an occasional rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!

The versatility of aluminum fences makes it uniquely suited for many applications. Listed below are some of the most popular uses of aluminum fencing:
Many small fence companies in Green Bay and Appleton install aluminum fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your aluminum fence.
Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your aluminum fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best aluminum fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install aluminum fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about aluminum fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing aluminum fences in the Green Bay and Appleton area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.
Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your aluminum fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality chain link fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, don't have the same quality corrosion protection, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.
There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.

Composite fencing is a highly durable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood fences. Made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic, it offers the look and feel of wood without. Unlike wood, composite fencing doesn't warp, rot, or suffer from termite damage, making it a long-lasting Northeast Wisconsin fence option.
Yes, when compared to other fencing materials, composite fencing is very environmentally friendly. Made from a combination of partially recycled plastic and reclaimed wood fibers means that less plastic materials end up in a landfill when you choose composite fencing.
While most of the raw materials used in making composite fencing are recycled, these materials are carefully processed to ensure the highest level of quality and performance. The end result is fencing that performs better than traditional wood fencing, actually lowering your cost over time through less maintenance, durability, and the longer lifespan of your fence.
Ornamental steel fencing is a great option for properties of all shapes and sizes in the North Wisconsin area. It is a very strong material that creates a high level of security with an unmatched elegant design. If your priorities are design and strength, ornamental steel is a perfect solution for any home or business.
The overall strength of ornamental steel fences in North Wisconsin varies based on the thickness of the fence posts and pickets as well as the post depth and fence height. Steel fences are more durable than most other forms of fencing because carbon is added to the iron, which helps an ornamental iron/steel fence survive the elements and other possible harm.
One of the best features of ornamental steel fences is that it is resistant to rust and corrosion. The engineering of the metal and the protective coating that it comes with helps to ensure a long-lasting product with very little maintenance needed and no peeling or chipping. You can have peace of mind with the manufacturer warranty that covers your fence, too.

We prioritize safety and stability, especially in adverse weather conditions. Various measures are taken to secure temporary fencing against strong winds, heavy rain, or other extreme weather events.

Additionally, in cases of severe weather forecasts, temporary fencing may be temporarily reinforced or dismantled to prevent damage and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
