Services

Cedar Fence

Our cedar fences use Northern White Cedar milled to proprietary specifications for enhanced durability. This naturally rot-resistant wood offers aesthetic versatility through staining options while maintaining structural integrity in Wisconsin's climate. Thicker lumber ensures longevity, and regional sourcing reduces environmental impact through minimized transportation requirements.

Ornamental Fence

We install Ameristar steel and Ultra aluminum fences combining strength with low maintenance. The Montage steel system features fusion-welded panels with E-Coating for corrosion resistance, while Ultra aluminum offers fade-resistant Powercoat finishes in multiple styles. Both options provide wrought iron aesthetics without ongoing maintenance demands.

Polyvinyl Fence

Our polyvinyl fences offer permanent beauty with minimal upkeep requirements. Featuring a 20-year transferrable lifetime warranty, these fences resist weathering and discoloration while maintaining structural integrity. The low-maintenance design eliminates painting needs while retaining aesthetic appeal across decades of service.

Gate Installation

We provide custom gate solutions for residential and commercial properties, including driveway gates and pedestrian entry systems. Our installations ensure proper alignment and hardware integration for smooth operation. Options include automated gate systems and security-focused designs while maintaining aesthetic consistency with primary fencing.

Driveway Gate Installation

Our driveway gate installations combine security with functionality, offering manual and automated options. We ensure proper grading adaptation and durable hardware integration. Systems accommodate various vehicle types while maintaining seamless design continuity with surrounding fencing elements.

One thing about them is that they are fast, other then that you need to get more information on what they are going to install, my wood fence has only 2 support 2x4 going horizontal with only 1 nail in each end, fence is really wobbly, asked them about it and their reply was that's how they do it. On installation they asked if I want a privacy fence (which is the boards spaced a few inches apart with a center board in-between the space, I went that route, what a mistake, they didn't nail the boards right on a lot of the spaced boards, i have already had to re-nail over a dozen boards with new ones

Set up an appointment online. Waited a month for the owner to come out and give me a quote. He gave me an insane estimate (I know wood is high right now, but it isn't gold) I asked when it could be done...He told me a month from now. Never got back to me at all. Moral of the story...don't waste your time with this company. You are better off doing it yourself or finding someone on craigslist that actually wants your business.

They came out to my property for measurements on April 19th. I was told I would receive a quote within a week. After multiple follow ups with no response we went with another company for our fence project.

I had Jim out on April 21 to measure for a quote. He said Id get a quote that weekend. He was very very nice so I was hopeful things would go well. I followed up on April 29th when I never got a quote. I got a response saying they were busy but would let Jim know I was still waiting. Now almost a month later still nothing and my last email on may 10th was ignored. No voicemails ever responded to either.

Jim was amazing to work with! So glad we went with Valley Custom Fence, LLC. He helped us work with the city, and went out of his way multiple times to make sure we could get out fence up as soon as possible. They even put the fence up when there was snow on the ground. Our pups love it!! Thanks again Jim and the team!!!

Very polite and professional. Our fence was completed in just one day and matches the neighbor's. Excellent quality and we've received praise from multiple neighbors as well as the Mailman for how great it looks.
