  • What is your service area?

    Our fence company services all of Southern Wisconsin, but our main focus is a 40-mile radius of Jefferson.

  • How much does a fence cost?

    There are many factors that determine the cost of a fence installation. Materials used, gate size, and overall lineal footage are the biggest factors.

  • How long does it take to install a fence?

    The usual turnaround time for a fence installation project depends on several factors. The type of fence, footage, and site conditions are the biggest contributing factors. Removal of an existing fence can also add to the installation. From our experience, the average installation takes about two days to complete, but there is usually about a week between installing posts and finishing the fence. This allows the concrete to cure correctly.

  • How do you install a fence on a slope or hill?

    We try to follow the slope as much as possible. Our custom wood and chain-link materials will usually allow for sloped installations, but some of our other products do not allow for a slope without creating gaps under the fence. To learn more about our fence installation process, give our team at Lemke Fence a call today.

  • Do I need to stain my wood fence?

    It is not necessary to stain a wooden fence, but it does enhance the aesthetics and increases the durability of the materials. We offer both pre-stained lumber and staining services at our fence company. Give us a call today to learn more!

  • Does my fence need concrete around the posts?

    Yes, we recommend concreting every post during your fence installation.

  • How long will my wood fence last?

    According to Bob Vila, a popular home improvement publication, a wood fence will last 10-20 years on average. Many factors can determine your fence's lifespan, such as moisture content in the ground, sun exposure, and weather. To get started with your wood fence installation, call our team today.

  • Do I need a building permit for my fence?

    Most municipalities require a permit for a new fence installation. We try to keep up with all restrictions, but due to constant changes in codes, we recommend each homeowner contact their local municipality.

  • Do you offer payment plans or financing?

    Although we don’t offer payment plans or financing in-house, we do offer financing through a third-party institution. To learn more about how you can finance your new fence installation, contact our helpful team today!

  • Does my fence have a warranty?

    Yes. All fences installed by Lemke Fence have a warranty. This varies by the product being installed. To learn more about the warranties our fence company offers, give our team a call today.
