Fencing That Combines Function, Style, and Durability

Your fence is one of the first things people notice about your home—so it needs to look good and hold up over time. At Karpenter Construction, our fences are built with purpose: to define your space, protect what matters most, and elevate your home’s exterior.


Unlike mass-produced fencing solutions or rushed installations, we take the time to understand your priorities, evaluate your yard, and recommend the best layout and design based on your home’s shape, slope, and surroundings.

Wood Fencing Built for Midwest Weather

Wood fencing remains a favorite among homeowners who love the classic, warm look of natural materials. We specialize in installing high-quality wood fences that resist insects, moisture, and the seasonal temperature swings typical in Northwest Indiana.

Our Wood Fencing Options Include:

  • Privacy fences for full seclusion
  • Semi-privacy fences that allow airflow
  • Shadowbox designs for an elevated look
  • Traditional picket fences
  • Modern horizontal layouts
  • Custom-height builds and decorative finishes

Each fence is installed with treated lumber designed to last, and our construction methods ensure stability from the very first post we set.

Thoughtfully Planned Fence Layouts and Installation

A strong fence begins long before the boards go up. Every project includes a detailed layout process that ensures optimal spacing, proper alignment, and long-term stability.

What Goes Into a Karpenter Construction Fence

  • Accurate lot line measurement
  • High-strength post-setting techniques
  • Secure framing and bracing
  • Consistent board spacing and leveling
  • Hardware built for outdoor exposure
  • Optional staining or sealing for longevity

Our goal is to build a fence that looks intentional, clean, and professionally crafted—no uneven lines, no weak posts, no shortcuts.

Professional Fence Repairs That Restore Strength and Safety

A damaged fence doesn’t always require a full replacement. Many issues can be corrected with expert repairs that reinforce your existing structure.

We Repair Issues Such As:

  • Leaning or unstable posts
  • Cracked, rotting, or warped boards
  • Gate alignment problems
  • Loose rails and hardware
  • Storm or wind damage
  • Fence sections that have sunk or separated

If you’re unsure whether your fence needs repair or replacement, we’ll assess it honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
