Fence Repair
Minnesota Winters are hard on all types of fencing, wood fence, chain link fence, ornemental and well as vinyl fence. Spring is a great time to take a look at your fence and evaluate its condition. Whether it is the frost moving the concrete footings, plowing snow into the fence or simply strong winds breaking the wood posts, Sterling Fence Inc can repair your fence. Wood privacy fences do not have to be replaced when posts break if the fence itself is intact and the wood sound. We can usually repair, replacing posts, using the existing fence, often saving hunreds of dollars.

Why does Western Red Cedar last so long? Tannin is the answer.
Sterling Fence Inc installs western red cedar fences all around the Minneapolis, St. Paul area. Customer always ask, " How long will it last? " Western Red Cedar is used for fencing, siding and roofing for home and many other outdoor uses because of its inherent properties.
The presence of Tannin in western red cedar is the reason it lasts so long with outdoor use. Tannin is a natural oil found in western red cedar that makes the wood resistant to rotting and to insects.
At Sterling Fence Inc we have found western red cedar to be a wonderful material to build our wood fences with. It is a stable wood which means it has a minimal amount of warping and twisiting compared to any kind of pine. We build our wood privacy fences as well as out picket fences with this material. Sterling Fence Inc will be happy to do a free estimate on any fencing project at your home,
