Testimonials
“We needed a privacy fence for our backyard in Stonefield Woods-Ridge, and Solid Fencing was recommended by our neighbor. James and Sean were great to work with - they explained all our options clearly and didn't push for the most expensive choice. The installation was quick and the fence looks perfect. They even followed up after a month to make sure we were still happy.” - Mark W.
“After a storm damaged our old fence, Solid Fencing came out quickly to give us an estimate. Their price was better than two other companies, and they were able to start the following week. The new fence is much sturdier than our old one, and they took the time to make sure the gates aligned perfectly. Great experience from start to finish.“ - Jennifer T.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What wood types work best for Madison's climate?
For Madison’s extreme weather conditions, we recommend cedar, pressure-treated pine, or redwood. Cedar naturally repels insects and resists decay, making it ideal for our humid summers. Pressure-treated pine offers good durability at a lower price point. Redwood is our premium option, with natural oils that help it withstand both freezing winters and hot summers. We can help you choose the best wood for your specific location and budget.
How far in advance should I schedule my fence installation in Madison?
During peak season (spring and summer), we recommend booking your Madison fence installation 3-4 weeks in advance. Fall installations typically require 2-3 weeks’ notice. Winter installations are possible when ground conditions permit, often with shorter wait times. For the best selection of scheduling options, contact us as soon as you decide to move forward with your fence project.
Do I need special permission to build a fence near Lake Mendota or Lake Monona?
Yes, properties near Madison’s lakes often have additional requirements for fence installation. Shoreline properties may need approval from the Madison Development Services Center and possibly the DNR, depending on proximity to the water. We’re familiar with these regulations and can help navigate the approval process for lakefront properties.
How do you ensure fence posts don't heave during Madison's freeze-thaw cycles?
We prevent frost heaving by setting posts at least 42 inches deep (well below Madison’s frost line), using proper concrete footings, and incorporating drainage gravel at the base of each post. These techniques have proven effective through years of installing fences in Madison’s challenging climate. Our attention to these crucial details is why our fences remain straight and level year after year.
Can you build a wood fence that matches the historical character of my Madison neighborhood?
Absolutely! Madison has many historic districts with distinctive architectural styles, and we’re experienced in creating wood fences that respect and enhance these characteristics. For homes in areas like Mansion Hill or University Heights, we can design fences that complement historic features while providing modern functionality. We can work with neighborhood association guidelines when applicable and suggest period-appropriate designs that will look like they’ve always been part of your property.
