About the Local Business
Northern Lights Contracting brings decades of combined experience to Eau Claire homeowners, specializing in custom decks, fences, masonry, and general contracting. Based near the confluence of the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers, our crew is familiar with the unique challenges of Wisconsin’s climate—from frost heave that can shift fence posts to moisture that threatens concrete. We serve neighborhoods like the Historic Third Ward, East Hill, and the area around UW–Eau Claire, offering tailored solutions that stand up to local weather. When it comes to fencing, we address common problems such as leaning posts due to freeze-thaw cycles and rot from snow buildup. Our approach includes using pressure-treated lumber or vinyl, deep-set posts on gravel footings, and proper drainage to ensure longevity. For every project—whether a custom deck overlooking Phoenix Park or a block wall for a retaining structure—we combine craftsmanship with accountability, ensuring every detail is handled with care. We believe in clear communication and a personal touch, making sure your vision is built right, from first consultation to final walkthrough.
Q&A
What types of fencing do you install, and which is best for Eau Claire’s weather?
We install wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain-link fences. For our local climate, we recommend vinyl for minimal maintenance and resistance to moisture, or pressure-treated pine with proper sealing. We also use galvanized hardware and set posts below the frost line to prevent heaving.
How do you handle common fence problems like leaning or rotting in this area?
Many Eau Claire homeowners face leaning posts due to freeze-thaw cycles. We address this by digging posts to at least 48 inches depth, adding gravel for drainage, and using concrete footings. For rot, we top wood caps and seal cuts. We also offer repair services for existing fences damaged by winter.
Do you build custom decks with concrete footings or masonry features?
Yes, we design and build custom decks that often integrate concrete footings, stone veneers, or brick columns. Our team handles site prep, formwork, and finishing for concrete elements, ensuring they match your deck’s style. We also build patios and retaining walls as part of a complete outdoor space.
