About

Who we are

At Ekren Fence Company, we install and deliver high-quality fencing materials throughout the Lehigh Valley, Northampton and beyond. Depending upon what your fencing requirements are, we can handle all your fencing needs for your backyard, garden, pool, farm, or commercial areas. Whether split rail, custom wood board fence, aluminum, or vinyl fencing, we use top quality brands and materials for each job. Our dedicated team of fence installers can deliver any project with the utmost professionalism. We take every step to ensure that our customers are retained, giving you the best service at the best price.

Licensed and Insured

We are a licensed/insured fence company offering a warranty on both labor and materials. We supply and install them depending on the requirements of our customers. If you take a look at our Google Reviews and gallery, you will know why we boast of long-term relationships with many of our customers and a good portion of our business is new work from previous customers or customers referred by word of mouth.

Professional Fence Installation

Ekren Fence installation crews are in-house residential and commercial, fully insured with workman’s compensation, general liability, and automotive insurance. Other fence companies that are not insured or have only a workman’s compensation exemption put you at risk in the event of an injury on your property. Having in-house installers allows for the control and flexibility of scheduling, as well as providing maximum quality control of the installation. Our installers are professional, courteous, and take pride in their work. Each customer can expect a walk-through of the completed work with the installer, provided they are on site.

Customer Education

Construction projects like fencing can be time-consuming and complicated, especially to those with no knowledge of the fence industry. Ekren Fence believes that the most critical part of the fence purchasing process is the education of the customer to the process of purchasing and installing a fence. We help each customer with all aspects of this process, from choosing the type of fencing, product specification, and style selection, to pricing, permitting, installation, and warranty information. It is important for each customer to select a fence that is functional and fits their needs while staying within budget. Most important of all is for all parties involved in the process to have a clear understanding as to the scope of work and services provided.

Permit Process

Our fence company is happy to help with the Homeowner’s Association documentation (such as brochures, samples, and survey-drawings) to help expedite the approval process.

Underground Public Utilities Locator

Before excavating dirt during fence installation, it is required by the State of Pennsylvania for underground public utilities to be located and flagged to keep them from being cut or damaged. Sometimes fence lines must be moved in the event of a conflict between a power, cable, or phone line and the location of the fence. Public utilities, however, do not include other privately owned utilities such as propane tank lines, custom phone or data lines, or irrigation systems.

Our Recommendations

We recommend having irrigation systems checked after having a fence installed. This recommendation is mainly because most, if not all irrigation lines are installed on or alongside property lines to provide the most coverage. Sprinkler heads may be found underneath or even on the outside of the fence in rare occasions and will need to be relocated by an irrigation specialist. Adding a fence also changes the amount of coverage per sprinkler head, especially with privacy fence. So it is a good idea to have the system checked following making an addition to the property to ensure proper water coverage for the lawn and landscaping.

Job Inspection

Ekren Fence installs all fencing to manufacturer’s specifications, city codes, and county codes. Each permitted job requires an inspection and approval by the appropriate municipality. We hold a high standard of installation and take pride in providing quality built products. Ekren Fence employs an outside supervisor who spot-checks jobs and includes troubleshooting and direction when starting custom or specialty work. The field supervisor will also spot check jobs during installation and after completion of the work. Having a full-time supervisor helps to ensure each customer is getting the quality service and attention to detail for their fencing project.

Satisfaction Follow-up

After each job, each customer will receive a courtesy call regarding job completion and inspection schedule if applicable. This is also an opportune time for the customer to address any concerns or questions they may have about their new fence. Our sales and service department will gladly meet with any customer who requests an on-site walk-thru to address any questions or other issues in the event they were not home at the time of job completion.
