About the Company

Des Moines Steel Fence Co Inc. has been serving Central Iowa since 1922, originally part of PDM Steel and family-owned by the Ayers family since 1990. We specialize in residential and commercial fence installation, offering PVC, chain link, wood, and ornamental fencing for properties across the Des Moines metro. Our team handles the full project lifecycle: installation, painting or staining, weatherproofing, and repair. We understand the local climate—from freeze-thaw cycles to summer humidity—and build fences that hold up. We serve neighborhoods from the Historic Sherman Hill district to the suburbs of West Des Moines and Ankeny. Our shop is near the Iowa State Capitol, making us easily accessible for clients throughout Polk County.

Question Answers

How does your fence weatherproofing handle Des Moines' freeze-thaw cycles?

We specifically address local freeze-thaw conditions by using footings set below the frost line and selecting weather-resistant materials. For wood fences, we recommend and apply a sealant that breathes with the wood, preventing cracking. For chain link and ornamental steel, we ensure galvanized coatings are intact. Our weatherproofing service includes a check for ground heave and hardware tightening to keep your fence stable through Iowa winters.

Can you paint or stain my existing fence, and what colors do you offer?

Yes, we provide fence painting and staining for wood, ornamental iron, and chain link fences. We use exterior-grade paints and stains that resist UV fading and moisture. For a cohesive look, we can match colors to your home's trim or choose from a range of natural wood stains. We prep the surface by cleaning and, if needed, light sanding to ensure the finish adheres well and lasts.

What type of fence is best for a residential property in the Beaverdale neighborhood?

Beaverdale homes often have traditional architecture, so a wood privacy fence or ornamental aluminum are popular choices. Wood offers a classic look and can be stained to complement older homes, while ornamental aluminum provides a durable, low-maintenance option with a historic feel. We’ll help you navigate HOA guidelines and lot lines to pick a fence that fits your yard and budget.
