About Cedar Rapids Fence Builders
Hiring a fence company means trusting someone with your property line, access, privacy, pets, gates, appearance, and a project you expect to live with for years. We believe that trust should be earned with experience, clear planning, verifiable credentials, and realistic answers—not vague promises.

What Experience Should Actually Do for You
Twenty-five-plus years matters most when it prevents a bad fence decision.
Experience is not useful because it sounds impressive on a website. It is useful when it helps identify the things that can make a fence frustrating later: the wrong gate location, poor access, a bad transition on a slope, a repair that should have been a replacement, or a material that does not fit how the property is used.
Our job is to look beyond “how many feet of fence?” and understand what the finished system needs to accomplish.
Planning Before Posts
A fence is a system, not a row of panels.
The material gets most of the attention, but long-term function is also shaped by posts, corners, grade, gates, clearances, access routes, transitions, existing structures, and how the yard is actually used.
PrivacyWhere do you actually need screening, and what views should stay open?
PetsJumping, digging, gaps, visibility, gate habits, and yard behavior all matter.
AccessWalk gates, mower access, service routes, and wider manual openings should be intentional.
Existing fenceRepair, partial replacement, removal, or full redesign should follow the condition of the whole system.
Credibility You Can Check
We would rather give you a short list of real facts than a long list of marketing claims.
These are the company facts we are comfortable putting in front of every homeowner. Where documentation is appropriate, it is available upon request.
State Licensed
We are state licensed. We do not publish sensitive license documentation on the website, but documentation is available upon request.
Fully Insured
We are fully insured. Insurance documentation is available upon request rather than publishing policy details publicly.
Locally Owned
Cedar Rapids is our primary market, with dedicated service throughout nearby Eastern Iowa communities we know and actively target.
References Available
If you want another layer of confidence before hiring us, references are available upon request.
Written Project Warranties
Every project receives a written warranty. The length and terms vary by project type so the warranty matches the actual work instead of relying on one vague universal promise.
Trust Is Also What We Do Not Promise
Good advice sometimes means recommending less work—not more.
A fence repair is worth exploring when the failure is localized and the surrounding system still has useful life. Replacement deserves a harder look when failures are widespread, repairs keep repeating, or the old fence no longer fits the property.
We also avoid absolute promises that do not hold up in the real world. We do not call a dog fence “escape-proof.” We do not treat an old fence as proof of a legal property line. We do not publish one universal price per foot. And we do not hard-code changing local requirements where current verification matters.
How We Think Through a Project
A straightforward process built around the property—not a canned fence package.
The exact details vary by job, but the decision-making should stay simple and understandable.
- 01Start with the goal
Privacy, pets, repair, replacement, curb appeal, pool safety, commercial access, gates, maintenance, or another property need.
- 02Look at the site conditions
Layout, grade, access, existing fencing, gates, landscaping, structures, and project-specific constraints shape the scope.
- 03Choose the system that fits
Wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, repair work, replacement, or a mixed approach should follow the function and ownership priorities.
- 04Define the project clearly
Before construction, the important decisions should be understood: what is being built or repaired, where it goes, how access works, and what project-specific requirements apply.
The Details People Notice Later
Gates, transitions, repairability, and maintenance deserve attention before the project is finished.
The middle of a fence run is usually the easy part. The details around openings, grade changes, corners, structures, old posts, hardware, and material transitions are where planning becomes especially important.
That is why we treat gates, repairs, replacement, privacy, dog fencing, pool fencing, commercial work, staining and individual materials as genuinely different homeowner decisions.

Local work means understanding that every property is a little different.
Established neighborhoods can bring mature trees, older fences, tight side-yard access, and repair questions. Newer properties can bring open lots, fresh privacy needs, dog containment, and entirely new layouts. Slopes, drainage areas, patios, pools, alleys, trails, and changing yard uses all affect how a fence should be planned.
Cedar Rapids is our primary market. We also serve Marion, Hiawatha, Robins, Fairfax, Center Point, Ely, Mount Vernon, and Anamosa.
