Nathan Johnson
4 weeks agoI hired MN Mike's Fence and Repair for a residential fence project in spring 2025. While the initial estimate and installation timeline seemed reasonable, the overall experience deteriorated significantly after the work began. After installation, I discovered that the old concrete footings were left in place directly under the new fence panels. The estimate stated "removal and haul away," and at no point prior to installation was I informed that old footings would be excluded or require additional cost. Once I raised the issue, I was told removal would be an additional $75 per footing-information that came only after the work was already completed. Additionally, the gate was installed swinging the wrong direction. I requested a simple hinge/swing correction beginning in May 2025. I received multiple assurances that someone would be sent "next week," but despite repeated follow-ups in May, June, and July, no one ever returned to correct the issue. I withheld the final payment pending completion of this unfinished work. After several months of silence, I began receiving emails and voicemails focused solely on collecting the remaining balance. Rather than addressing the unresolved problems, the communication escalated into threats of a mechanic's lien and small claims court. The tone became aggressive and, frankly, unprofessional. Eventually, the company offered a "discount" that was unclear and inconsistently communicated, followed by deadlines accompanied by legal threats if payment was not made immediately. After months of attempting to resolve this reasonably, I agreed to partial payment simply to bring the situation to a close. This was a disappointing experience marked by poor communication, failure to complete agreed-upon work, and unnecessarily hostile collection tactics. I strongly recommend getting all details in writing, clarifying exactly what "removal" includes, and being prepared to follow up persistently. Based on my experience, I would not hire this company again. -

2 months agoVery happy. Mike and his team were on time, and even worked on Sundays to get the job done. If he needed to do any additional work he made sure he communicated this ahead of time. If you are looking for a fence contractor in Lakeville, south metro, or Minnesota in general. Mike is your guy! -

2 months agoI had Mike fix my fence that was initially installed (very poorly) by a different company. I called several other places that wouldn't even give me an estimate for this situation, but Mike was willing to do the work, and he came out and went over all of the issues with me, some of which I already knew, but a few which I wasn't aware of until he told me. The company that originally put my fence in didn't sink the posts low enough, used gate latches made for wood instead of vinyl, and installed the wrong size gates. For the redo, I told Mike very specifically that I wanted the bottom rails as close to the ground as possible because of my dog, and that I wanted the front gate switched to a larger size and the back gate moved to a location that wasn't hidden behind my shed. He more than delivered. He made sure to check in with me throughout the install, and redug and reset all of the posts, and now my fence is absolutely perfect for my dog. I cannot recommend him enough, especially after going through an absolute nightmare of an install with the original company I used. -

FAQ
How does MN Mike's Fence and Repair determine pricing for fence installations and repairs?
We base pricing on factors like fence material, length, height, terrain slope, and any site preparation needs specific to your Lakeville property. Custom quotes account for Minnesota weather durability requirements to ensure long-term value. Contact us for a detailed estimate tailored to your project.
Are you licensed and insured?
MN Mike's Fence and Repair carries full licensing and insurance to protect your property during installations and repairs. This coverage handles any potential issues from accidents or damage on-site. We provide proof upon request to give you confidence in our work.
Does MN Mike's Fence and Repair handle wood privacy fences, vinyl fences, and sloped property installations?
We install wood privacy fences, brown and white vinyl privacy fences with gates and lattice tops, and long wood fences on sloped terrain. Our experience covers these types seen in local residential backyards, including additions like pergolas. These installations secure properties year-round against Minnesota conditions.
What is your typical timeline and arrival window for fence projects?
We schedule projects to start promptly after agreement, with most repairs completed on the agreed date and new installations finished within days depending on size. Our team arrives within a confirmed window, communicating any adjustments due to weather. Expect clear updates throughout to keep your project on track.
What happens to debris and how do you leave the property after MN Mike's Fence and Repair completes a fence job?
We remove all debris, old fencing materials, and waste from your yard at the end of each day and fully upon project completion. The area around the new or repaired fence is cleaned to restore your landscape as much as possible. This leaves your property neat and ready for immediate use.
Why is hiring you better than doing a fence installation or repair as a DIY project?
Our hands-on approach uses specialized techniques suited to Minnesota's harsh weather, preventing common DIY failures like weak posts or improper grading on slopes. Professionals like us identify storm damage issues and ensure sturdy builds that last years without sagging or warping. DIY often leads to safety risks and costly fixes down the line.
