Testimonials
“We had a new fence installed in our back yard by Gleave construction. The price and product selection was good but what really stood out was the team. They were prompt, courteous and did quality work. More than that, they did what they said they were going to do when they said they’d do it. I really appreciated that and would highly recommend. Oh and the fence looks fantastic, even our neighbors commented on how great it looks!”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What's the best wood fence for a business in Harlan?
For most Harlan businesses, cedar privacy fences work best because they last long and need less maintenance. Treated pine is more affordable but may need more care over time. The best choice depends on your budget, how your property looks, and what you need the fence for. We can help you decide during a free consultation.
How long does it take to build a wood fence for my Harlan business?
Most commercial wood fences in Harlan take 2-7 days to complete. Small projects might only take 1-2 days, while larger properties could take longer. Weather, soil conditions, and fence complexity all affect timing. We always give you a clear timeline before we start.
How do wood fences hold up in Harlan winters?
Wood fences we build stand up well to Harlan’s cold winters and hot summers. We use pressure-treated wood or cedar that resists rot and insects. Proper installation with correct post depth (below the frost line) prevents winter damage. We recommend checking your fence each spring and applying a water repellent every few years.
Do commercial wood fences in Harlan need permits?
Yes, most commercial fences in Harlan require permits through the Allen County Building Department. Rules cover fence height, placement, and sometimes materials. We handle the permit process for you as part of our service, making sure everything meets local codes.
How much does a commercial wood fence cost in Harlan?
Commercial wood fence costs in Harlan depend on several factors: size, wood type, height, design, and site conditions. Rather than providing a general price that might not apply to your situation, we offer free, detailed estimates based on your specific needs. Contact us at 260-744-2757 to schedule your estimate.
Can wood fences provide security for my Harlan business?
Yes, wood fences can provide good security for Harlan businesses. Solid privacy fences at 6-8 feet tall create effective barriers. For enhanced security, we can add features like anti-climb tops, reinforced gates, and gate operators. Many businesses in Harlan combine wood fencing with security lighting and cameras for complete protection.
How long will a commercial wood fence last in Harlan?
With proper maintenance, our commercial wood fences in Harlan typically last 15-30 years. Cedar fences usually last 15-20 years, while pressure-treated pine can last 20-30 years. Regular maintenance like cleaning, staining every 3-5 years, and prompt repairs of damaged sections will extend your fence’s life. Our cedar fences come with a 10-year material warranty, and treated lumber fences have a 25-year material warranty.
