Fence Company in Crookston, MN
Vinyl, wood, chain link and ornamental fencing, installed by a contractor who pulls the permit.
Crookston is one of the few cities where the fence permit is not the homeowner’s job. The City requires a licensed contractor to apply for and receive it, and states that a homeowner should not take one out for work an installer is doing. So the paperwork sits with us.
What sits underground matters just as much. Red Lake River valley soil moves with moisture and freezes deep, so we drive posts below the frost line rather than setting them in shallow concrete that frost can lift.
