We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates … the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, “price per linear foot” is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, “price per linear foot” is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Cedar Valley area use!

Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing aluminum fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of the Cedar Valley area.
Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Cedar Valley, Iowa region. Aluminum fences are strong yet light weight. Together with their durable protective coating - aluminum fences easily stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of the Cedar Valley.
While there are other fence materials that are less expensive initially, aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time aluminum fencing is actually a less expensive fencing material than many of the other alternatives in terms of time and cost saving of paints and sealers that are not required by aluminum fences.
If a maintenance-free elegant looking fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.
Aluminum fences are very durable! Don't let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business - while standing strong in the face of the Cedar Valley, Iowa weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more are usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.
It should be mentioned, however, that some discount fencing contractors in the Cedar Valley area are known to undercut prices by using lower-quality aluminum fencing - which absolutely does not hold up as well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!
Prices on aluminum fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We provide aluminum fencing quotes for free! Simply use our online quote tool, or reach out to our team through our online form or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.
Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor-quality aluminum fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, and will bend. 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).
Fences must stand up to Cedar Falls, Iowa's high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from animals, kids, gardeners, and neighbors. Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.
Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is rust and corrosion resistant, naturally. In addition, our professional quality aluminum fencing has been factory treated to further prevent rust and corrosion, while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower quality aluminum fencing.
For this reason, an occasional mild 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!
Our aluminum fences are powder coated at the factory. A powder-coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing in the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.
If you are considering an aluminum fence for your Iowa, Iowa area property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. No stress. We ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for both residential and commercial applications.
Yes, they do!
Depending on your specific project, some of our aluminum fences will come with a warranty directly from the manufacturer. Of course, we will guide you through all of the details to make sure you understand what is available to you.
We also offer our comprehensive Limited Lifetime Workmanship Warranty for every fence we install. We take pride in our work and our craftsmanship! We earn our outstanding reputation in the Cedar Valley area - one happy customer at a time.

We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing chain link fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of the Cedar Valley area.
Chain link fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Cedar Valley region. Chain link fences are strong yet lightweight. Together with their galvanized coating - chain link fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of the Cedar Valley area while also resisting rust and corrosion.
If a durable, reliable fence is what you want, look no further than chain link fencing.
Chain link fences are very durable! Chain link fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business - while standing strong in the face of the Cedar Valley weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more are usually no problem for our professional-quality chain link fencing.
If you choose a colored PVC-coating which also beautifies the fence, the added corrosion protection will extend the life of your chain link fence for many additional years!
Prices on chain link fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality chain link 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).
Chain link fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Cedar Valley weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.
Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional quality chain link fencing has been factory treated to prevent rust and corrosion, and can be further enhanced with protective colored vinyl coating.
We recommend clearing debris away from the bottom of the fence and maybe a quick squirt of the hose every once in a while. Chain link fencing requires almost no attention or maintenance.
PVC-coated chain link fencing (sometimes called vinyl coated chain link fencing) is that beautiful colored coating that can be added to chain link fencing. More than a simple color choice, vinyl coating your chain link fence greatly increases the rust and corrosion resistance of the fence and will greatly extend the life of your fence.
Colored vinyl coatings added to chain link fences are very popular in the Cedar Valley, Iowa area. They are particularly popular for athletic fields, pool areas, and anywhere else where children are commonly found - due to the smooth texture. These PVC-coatings are applied at the factory for maximum quality and protection.
It's fairly easy to secure your chain link fence from being able to be pushed out for a pet to escape. A tension wire can be added to the bottom of the chain link to keep it from being pushed out by children or animals. If a tension wire is not enough, a bottom rail could also be installed for an even stronger barrier.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the plastic most often used to make a vinyl fence, ranks third among the world's most manufactured synthetic plastics. Beautiful fences in a number of designs may be made from it, but it also has many other applications in the building industry, including in windows, pipelines, and other items.

Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. Recycled vinyl fencing is often used in the next generation of new vinyl fences, making it a great option for those who are environmentally aware!
Another huge benefit to your immediate environment and to the health of your family and pets is that vinyl fencing does not require harsh cleaners, or paint, or sealers - all of which may contain harsh or even toxic chemicals.
PVC, the material used to make vinyl fences, is nonporous, therefore it does not readily accept paint.
