About us

Dan Buranen founded Top Line Fence in 1991, but his passion for fences started long before his professional career. As a child, he spent hours building with Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs. This hobby evolved into subcontracting for fence companies, dabbling with fence projects for his own clients, and ultimately launching his own company. Today, he's fiercely dedicated to his home state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities area customers who rely on him for custom, quality fence solutions. Hiring people he knows and trusts, Dan oversees every project from start to finish. The company is driven by his strong work ethic and hands-on approach, ensuring an exceptional experience and results that exceed expectations. The company can maintain its high-quality control and workmanship standards with 10 acres of property for receiving and storing fence materials.

Not good. I received a prompt reply from Top Line fence and they came out to my house to take the measurements for a fence for our back yard. I haven't heard from them since and it's been almost a month. It is a small project and I understand if they are unable to do it but it would have been profession to at least let me know so I didn't waste time waiting for the estimate. Very poor service.
Description of Work: Forgot about me.

The work was done in September 2011. When they finished the job, they left a pile of broken up concrete in my garden which I had to dispose of. In the Spring, I couldn't even close my gates because they were slanted so badly. They came back out and fixed the gates. All Summer I had water standing around the pole but didn't find out until now that it was the result of a leak in the sprinkler caused by Top Line Fence when they repaired the gate. I had to pay $104 to fix the leak.

Excellent job. Tear-down and removal of the old fence and placement of new posts were completed in one day. The new fence was placed within a week, but it took a little longer to complete the driveway gate so Top Line placed some temporary fencing so that I could use the backyard for my dog. The workers were very experienced and worked efficiently. They also did a great job with clean-up and with protecting my garden plantings along the fence line.
Description of Work: Removed and took away wood privacy fence on two sides of the back yard and old chain link driveway and walk through gates on a third side. Replaced old fence with new cemented posts and chain link fence. Built and installed new driveway and walk through gates.

These guys had the new fence installed before several of the other companies could even get someone out to estimate. It looks great and has not moved/heaved (portions are next to a pond).

The job he did was wonderful, he was very professional, gave me an estimate and ideas on how to fence in my property and keep my 2 little dogs in the yard. He made a great custom fence to go over my wrap-around porch. He worked with my situation of have a project halfway done and was very understanding to my situation. The job looks great and I am so happy with the end result! The fence looks very even and is very secure. Some companies were hesitant to work with a job someone else started and Dan was very knowledgeable and easy to work with and had many ideas on how to finish the project. The supplies are very quality and the yard was completely cleaned up; never even knew anyone was there that day doing the project when I saw the fence up when I got home! Always came on time and finished within a few days even with some customized created gates that had to be built. Would highly recommend him to anyone!! Great job!!
Description of Work: I had Dan at Top Line Fence finish a job where someone left me with only the poles up for my black vinyl chain link fence. So he finished the job by installing the tension rails, 4 gates (one custom design over a porch), a chain link fabric on an uneven ground. A local fence company started this job this past summer, and left me with the job half done and would never show up to finish or return calls (never use Stryker Quinn at Fence and Repair Co. in Plymouth, MN)!

. .The fence is beautiful. People comment on how good it looks. I also feel very confident about the quality. I have one lingering issue with the price. I initially was looking for financing. When I got a first, over the phone estimate, the price was 5000.00, but no financing. I agreed and we continued with the process. We later met in person to go over the final details and the price went up 500.00. At that point I was ready to be done with the whole shopping process and had the fence built. All in all, I don't regret using Top Line as their price was still in line with other estimates and as I've said, the fence is really beautiful.

I called Top Line Fence to get a an estimate on a new gate for the back yard. I explained that it was a bit of an emergency as we had two dogs and I was concerned that they would be able to get out. Dan came out the next morning and gave me an estimate. He explained in detail what would work best for us and provide a couple of photo's that illustrated a new gate. The estimate was great and he told me to think about it and give him a call if I wanted to move forward. I went with my gut and signed on the spot. For scheduling, we planned on the middle of the next week. Two days later he called and said he had a crew that had an opening and would be over late morning. They arrived and explained what they would be doing and removed the old gate and wood, built a gate, installed a new post and hauled away all of the old material. The new gate is amazing. This is a double wide gate that open in, and is wide enough to drive a car through. Top Line is an extremely professional, experienced crew and I will hire them again as I need any repairs to my fence.

Dan came out to give an estimate the day after I called. He was very professional, approachable and direct. I felt very comfortable with him and his expertise. He suggested options that would look beautiful and would save money (black ornamental fencing on the sides and black chain link across the back). Installation was scheduled for two weeks later. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and installed the posts. they waited one week and returned to install the fencing. They were competent, friendly and easy to be around. The fence is beautiful. Neighbors are stopping just to see and admire. The dogs love it too. I thought the cost very reasonable for such a quality fence.

Dan and crew was awesome! We needed a fence for our home and had talked with other fence companies who failed to follow up on quotes and questions. Dan answered my call on the same day. During the quote process he took the time to discuss material options and fencing design. Pricing was comparable to other fence quotes but his service exceeded our expectations as did the fence quality. No hidden surprises. In fact,we spent less than we thought because we didn't need one of the support posts we had originally thought we would need. Our new cedar fence not only provides the look we desired but provides privacy for our family and our dog, Zak, the basset. His crew was friendly and efficient. Not one complaint during our installation on the 95 degree day we had in August. Really great company and experience. I'd recommend contacting them for your fencing needs.

Great experience. Dan was easy to work with and gave a good price for the work. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Installed 254' of 6' chainlink fencing and another 40' of decorative fencing for my deck. My property has a slope to it and I requested a 8' gate that had to be custom made on the slope. Dan knew that i had a little dog and when the gate was installed there wasn't enough clearance for him to slip through. He did a great job making sure that the whole fence was escape proof!

The service was great! I hired the installation of the fence because with a new family I didn't have time to completed the fence myself. When I interviewed companies for this job, I was sold on the "we give customer service and when you call, I will be the one to answer the phone." The customer service was excellent and I was glad that I was working with someone who treated their customer so well. Since I have installed fences before, I had high standards for any company I was going to hire. Upon prepping my yard for the installation of the fence, concerns arose with the neighbors, and I had to move the start date. Top Line Fence was very understanding and worked with me to move the date further out until everything was resolved. After completion of the fence and upon inspection, I was happy with the work. There are a couple of runs of fence that are 100+ feet long and one can look down the line and it is nice and straight - which is what you want when you want to ensure the fence is on your property.
Description of Work: I had 375 to 400 linear feet of green coated chain link fence, 4 feet tall, installed in my back yard to keep the dog and kids contained. There were three 4 foot gates, and one 8 foot removable panel, the majority of the poles were cemented in, about 20 poles were pounded into the ground near the lake to help control the movement of the poles because of water freezing in the winter.

Dan (Buranen) was great! I called on short notice and he was at our house the following day. He showed us multiple options and thoroughly explained the pros and cons of each type of fence and material. We signed with him that day and the fence was up within a few days pending permits and weather. The fence is beautiful, we love it, it completely transformed the look of our back yard. We counldn't be more happy with Dan and Top Line Fence!

Dan delivered! The price was the best of 3 bids I received. The job was done when he said it would be done - the job was delayed one day because of weather and Dan called me to tell me about the delay. The fence was installed properly. The job site was thoroughly cleaned up when they were done - I could hardly tell they had been there.

We love our fence! After the storm, we called Top Line Fence and they responded in a very timely manner. Dan came out, listened to what our needs were and made great recommendations. We selected a red cedar fence and could not be happier. The installers were on time, courteous, worked hard and did a beautiful job. They did a great job cleaning up which we really appreciated. We also received guidance with a stain selection and love that. We would strongly recommend Top Line Fence to all our family and friends. It was a great experience.

Dan and all of the guys at Top Line were fantastic. They were not as slick and polished as the people we talked to at Artistic and Dakota, but they were sincere, honest, and hard-working and the quotes were nearly identical. We told them why we needed the fence and exactly what we wanted, and they worked with us to figure out how best to proceed. After the estimate, Dan recommended an affordable surveyor so that we could avoid troubles with our neighbors. We found out that the existing fence was actually on their property, and moving if onto our side of the line meant that the fence was going to have to navigate around two large trees. The Top Line guys worked with me very closely in order to figure out how best to do this without losing too much play space for our kids and dogs. The fence went up very quickly and has met all of our expectations. It's obvious that they paid attention to the fact that this fence was meant to contain dogs, and they made every effort to block every possible escape route. When I received my bill, I was absolutely delighted to see that it was more than $600 LESS than anticipated. Who does this??? Apparently people who want to win life-long customers. I highly recommend Top Line Fence.
Description of Work: Top Line removed an exisiting 4' fence and replaced with with a new 6' privacy fence with a tall gate. The gate had to bend around several large trees in our back yard and it connected on one end with an existing privacy fence on with our house on the other. The main purpose of this fence was to contain our active dogs and allow to minimize their interactions with neighbors.

I called Top Line Fence and spoke to Dan. We scheduled an appointment. Before he cam out, I had a large expense, and had decided to wait to replace the fence. Dan suggested I repair it for the time being. He replaced a couple of posts, and some other repairs. It's standing tall, and I'm very satisfied with how his crew respected us, how Dan came out to the site to follow-up on the job, and how respectful he was of our decisions. I will replace the fence this coming spring, and will not call anyone but Top Line Fence.

I got their name from Angie's List. They did a nice job. They were good all the way. The guy came out when he said he would for the estimate. They put it up fairly quickly. They were nice guys and did good work. I am sure happy with the fence. All of them were very professional and very timely. I had got just that one bid for the project and I depended on Angie's List for that. I am assuming that it was a fair price. The quality of the work was good.

Dan was able to fit in the job ahead of hard frost and was very responsive in getting it done before winter. Price was reasonable, job was completely professionally very quickly. The yard was a little messy afterward, with some concrete and dirt on the lawn, and I had trouble contacting Dan to complete payment. But the work itself was great.

I called Dan and explained the repair necessary (we had 3 posts leaning and one of the gate posts had popped up so the gate no longer was able to latch closed). I was not able meet him at my home when he came to provide an estimate, so he called me when he arrived and walked through the posts in question to make sure we agreed on what was to be done. He and his crew came that same week and removed, replaced, and reset the fencing all in the same day. Dan and his crew were professional and did a great job. Before calling Top Line, I had called several other fencing companies. The other companies did not seem very interested in taking on a small repair job such as mine and seemed put off that I wanted to meet them in person for the quote. Top Line was also the only company I spoke to that mentioned burying the post 3 ft in the ground, whereas the others said 2 ft was standard but they "could" put the post in 3 ft if I preferred. Well, I preferred to go with the contractor that had it as part of their standard practice. I am quite pleased with Top Line and will use them again in the future if/when necessary.

Dan was very easy to work with. He was fair, respectful, professional, knowledgeable and quality workmanship. I highly recommend him and only wish he would have installed the original first phase of my cedar fence that I had Town & Country install in 10-2009 which was the biggest disaster and most painful experience ever! Night and day difference working with Dan, he was great to work with. I would definitely use him again.
