TOP LINE FENCE

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. Find out how Top Line Fence can design and build the right fence for your home or business, or simply contact us for a FREE estimate today.

I chose Top Line because Dan seems like an easy going and honest person, and he had the best pricing for the fence -- he asked about other estimates I had gotten and was willing to put his price below the others. They did everything while I was at work, and didn't leave much of a trace behind. The only reason I did not give an A for quality is not because of the fence but because my yard was torn up a bit more than I would have expected. Very nice guy, responsive to calls and questions, and easy to work with!

I called Top Line Fence for a quote for the new house we had purchased and Dan came by the same day to give me a quote. The were quite a bit lower in price than their competitor and after reading the reports people had submitted I was confident I would be happy with the work. The crew arrived and walked me through what they were going to do and made sure the fence was going where I had wanted it. I had to leave before they got very far but was dazzled at the fantastic work they did when I saw the finished job. Great job, great price, quality work!

These folks were fabulous to work with, from beginning to end. Prompt service and followup on the quote, and they were willing to work with my house sitter when I went out of the country. The wood fence is gorgeous, and actually adds to the property instead of making it look "fenced in." I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a quality fence.

The owner bid the lowest price among three contractors. They did the work just a few days later and completed the fence in a day. There was one small problem, a gate latch was installed upside down and didn't operate smoothly but the owner came out himself and fixed it later. (It did take him quite a few days to get here but I completely understood because of the time of year -- this is a seasonal business and they probably were quite busy, plus it wasn't a big deal, since the gate did work well enough.)
Description of Work: They installed a vinyl chain-link fence in our backyard.

It went extremely well. The fence is beautiful. After some initial issues with our little dog figuring out how to get out from under the fence, Dave came back, looked over the fence and had his crew come back out and bury the fence so that there was no escape. Also installed a tension wire at the bottom so she can't wiggle her way out. The fence is gorgeous
Description of Work: We had 400 feet of heavy gauge black chain link installed with three xtra wide gates.

Had a hard time finding anyone to do a small fencing job. Dan came out for the estimate as promised, but I didn't get any warning when the crew would show up to install the fence. I could easily have been at work the evening they showed up, and the crew needed access to water to install the fence, had questions, etc. I had to call a week later to find out when the gate would be hung. Happy with my fence, communication has room for improvement.

Dan was very professional on the estimate and made good suggestions on styles and choices. The crew came out on schedule and completed the majority of the work in four days; setting the posts one day and completing the fence 3 days later. They were just short on the amount of lumber so a couple of capping boards weren't done that day. It did take about a week and half for them to get back and complete those boards but since the enclosing was complete it wasn't a big deal. The fence looks great, the bid was under the other contractors I had estimates from and I am very happy with the final product.

Dan said it would take about two weeks to get to us. He scheduled us for the Tuesday of that second week. The materials and workmanship are both excellent quality. They had a bit of a start-up problem with stormy weather, but came the same day and got everything done but the gates.
Description of Work: Dan came out to the bid the job and offered a split rail solution with a green mesh tacked to it. We needed to keep our big puppies out of a new orchard with a new on the ground irrigation system. His bid matched the others, but his idea was much more creative. Jake came out, discussed the project with me again to be sure he had it right. The fence looks terrific.

I called Dan on Wednesday afternoon and he was out to my house by Thursday to fix it, just as promised. He was happy to come back out to the house and spent quite a bit of time making the fix. Thanks for standing behind your work almost a year later!!!

They took the job and were very courteous. I had three estimates and their's was comparable to the other companies. They completed the work very quickly and did a wonderful job. The staff and the owner were very courteous. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: I had a very small fencing job and wasn't sure if they would do the work for me. They hooked me up to my neighbors fences on three sides. They also installed a single gate on one side and a double gate on another side.

Dan was very prompt and professional for planning our fence. He came out quickly to give us an estimate and he gave us suggestions to make it look nice. Our fence is beautiful and we are very happy with it. However, it took a long time to get the project finished. Some of the fence had to be special ordered, which prolonged the project. However, the crew would work on the fence for a day and then we wouldn't see them for week or so. It took well over a month to complete our fence once they started the work. We had to call them to find out when they were coming back to complete the job.

Response from TOP LINE FENCE
The job had to be set in concrete so you can't come back the next day for you have to let the concrete harden for at least 3 days and there is nothing that we can do on special orders.We try and do every job in a timely manner, unfortunately there are many variables that can come into play in the construction business.

I had many people come to give estimates, but they were all way out of my budget. When I spoke to Dan, I told him I really needed to find a way to get a fence up inexpensively. He asked me if I was open to using old materials. He said he frequently ends out taking down chain link fencing to put up a new type. He worked with me to save me materials cost which brought the price into my budget. The used fencing is coated (which is more expensive) and looks wonderful!! Nobody would know its not brand new!! I know this was not a big job for him and he didn't make much money on it. I got the sense he really just wanted to help me out. I know it took a lot more effort than most of his jobs.
Description of Work: Installed approximately 135' of chain link fencing with two gates.

We had gotten a few quotes from other fencing companies and were close to making a decision but wanted one more quote, so we called Top Line Fence to get a free estimate. They called and were flexible enough that they came out the next day which happened to be a Saturday. Dan was the person who came out and he was professional and seemed knowledgeable about what they could and couldn't do based on our yard, etc., and his quote was better than any of the other companies. When it came to putting the fence up they did it in two days. The first day they tore down the old fence and got started on the new one. The second day was used to finish the new fence. Later that day we had already had two neighbors comment on how great the fence looked and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
Description of Work: We wanted our old fence replaced with a new cedar fence with no gaps (so our dogs can't see out).

He was professional and the bid was a very good price. We ended up not doing the project this year but I have no doubt they would have done a good job.

Overall we were very pleased initially getting it up and ordering supplies it took a little longer then expected, they still had good communication because it was their suppliers fault. The height of the fence was incorrect they brought 5 feet instead of 6 feet but they offered to order the right fence but we were fine with 5 feet fence.
Description of Work: They built a green vinyl chain link fence.. (I think approximately 170 feet)Don't remember the cost but reasonable.

Not only did Top Line have a much cheaper price, but the fence looks outstanding as well. We've also found Dan to be very straightforward, and he has responded very promptly to all of our calls. I would definitely recommend Top Line to a friend.

They did another great job. They were really responsive about coming out and doing the work. I was home the day they came out to get the posts set in and all the guys were very nice. They reconfirmed everything with me at that time which was really helpful. They were great! I would use them again in the future, when needed.
Description of Work: I used them last year to install a fence and liked them so much that I contacted them to do a dog run for us this year. They were able to create a big dog area so they could have their own yard.

I called Dan before moving and we were able to setup a meeting for my first day at the new house. He was prompt and professional, measured and drew a sketch of the proposed fence and gave me a written estimate before leaving that day. I used his sketch and measurements to apply for a city permit (which was promptly approved). There was some landscape work that needed to be completed first (due to grade issues), and Dan was flexible about coming out and setting all but a few of the posts, then waiting until the landscaping was finished. Within a week after I called to let Dan know that the landscaping was done, his crew set the remaining posts, built the fence and installed the gates. My dog and I love it! And I have had several people comment on how attractive and well-built the fence is (including my handyman, who says he can always spot good workmanship).
Description of Work: Installed 6-foot cedar wood privacy fence in my back yard, along with a gate on each side.

The fence looks great, the work was very professional and the crew was friendly. When Dan came out to give an estimate he was very informative, took the time to understand what we wanted, and discussed options. Calls were always answered promptly. Our neighbors have dogs, and Top Line arranged the work to minimize the time the fence was down, and put up temporary fencing while the posts set. We had not discussed gate hardware, but Top Line installed really nice looking hardware that was more heavy duty than what we had before. A neighbor asked if he could have the old fence wood and hauled it away, but the Top Line crew still came back to clean up debris and wash off the driveway after wards. Dan came back a couple of weeks later to make sure we were satisfied, and didn't bill us until then. The job came in a little under the estimate.
Description of Work: Gave estimate on repair or replacement. Removed old 4 foot cedar picket fence including digging out old posts and hauling everything away. Built new 4 foot cedar picket fence, approximately 400 feet with two gates. Removed and set over 50 posts in one day, put up the fencing in a second day.

We had Dan install some fencing last year. We asked him to match that fencing for some additional work this year. He was able to do this which is a feat. He used some leftover redwood lumber last year to help reduce our cost. He was able to find some more left overs for us to use this year, again reducing our cost. He made the time to fit us in between other larger jobs so that we didn't have to wait months for the work to be done. He had a professional team of installers come out and do the actual work. They were also very professional and cleaned up everything, including hauling away dirt from the post holes!
