Business Profile
American Fence Co is a family-owned fence contractor serving Madison, WI, and surrounding communities like Middleton, Sun Prairie, and the UW-Madison campus area. Specializing in residential and commercial fencing, we install and repair chain link, wood, vinyl, steel, and aluminum fences. Our team also builds custom pet kennels and offers hand-welded fence edges for added durability. Madison’s freeze-thaw cycles can shift fence posts and warp wood, so we use deep-set posts and seasonally appropriate materials to prevent damage. Whether you need a secure boundary for a property near Lake Mendota or a stylish privacy fence in the Monroe Street neighborhood, we tailor each project to local conditions. From industrial fencing for businesses on the east side to residential repairs in the west side’s Hilldale area, we provide reliable, lasting results. Our experience with Madison’s soil types and weather patterns ensures your fence stays straight and strong through every season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fences do you install for Madison homes and businesses?
We install chain link, wood, vinyl, steel, and aluminum fences for both residential and commercial properties. For homeowners near the Capitol or in neighborhoods like Nakoma, we often recommend vinyl or aluminum for low-maintenance durability. For businesses on the Beltline or industrial sites, chain link and steel provide security and longevity. We also build custom pet kennels tailored to your yard and dog’s needs.
How do you handle fence repairs during Madison’s freeze-thaw winters?
Madison’s freeze-thaw cycles can heave posts and crack wood. We address this by setting posts below the frost line (about 48 inches) and using galvanized steel brackets to reduce ground contact. For existing fences, we re-anchor loose posts, replace warped boards, and adjust gates that have sagged. Our repairs are designed to withstand the local climate, whether you’re near the Yahara River or on the west side near West Towne.
Do you offer custom fence designs for properties near Madison’s lakes?
Yes. Properties along Lake Mendota, Monona, or Wingra often need fences that handle moisture and wind. We use rot-resistant woods like cedar or engineered vinyl, and we hand-weld edges on aluminum fences for a clean, rust-free finish. We also work with neighborhood associations to ensure designs match local guidelines, whether you’re in the Vilas neighborhood or out in Fitchburg.
