How we picked
- We started with fence companies that show up on Google Maps for Indianapolis searches and serve the city.
- To make the list, a company had to be locally owned (no national franchises or big-box installers), rated 4.8 or higher on Google with at least 100 reviews, and rated A+ by the BBB. Each BBB rating was checked on the BBB’s own website.
- We ordered them by Google rating adjusted for review count, so a 4.9 from 1,000 people counts for more than a 5.0 from 12. (We blend each rating with 100 reviews at 4.5 stars, so small samples don’t jump to the top.)
- We read about 25 Google reviews for each company and summarized the themes that came up more than once. One-off complaints aren’t counted as themes.
- Ratings and review counts were checked on November 14, 2026. They change daily, so click through for today’s numbers. We recheck this list every few months.
Before you hire a fence company
- Check your HOA rules and the city’s permit requirements before you pick a style. Most companies on this list will help with the paperwork.
- Make sure utilities are marked before anyone digs. In Indiana, that’s a free call to Indiana 811.
- Know where your property line is. If you’re not sure, a survey costs less than moving a fence later.
- Ask what the warranty covers, for both materials and workmanship, and for how long.
- Ask about the lead time. Spring and summer are busy, and some companies are booked weeks out.
Questions people ask
Do I need a permit for a fence in Indianapolis?
In most of Indianapolis, a fence doesn’t need a building permit, but it still has to meet the city’s zoning rules on height and placement. Lawrence, Beech Grove, Speedway, Southport and many HOAs have their own rules. Our guide to fence permits in Indianapolis explains the details.
Which fence lasts the longest?
Vinyl and aluminum need the least upkeep and usually last the longest. Wood looks great but needs staining or sealing every few years.
Why isn’t my fence company on the list?
It may not have met one of our cutoffs (4.8+ on Google with 100+ reviews, A+ BBB, locally owned), or we may have missed it. Tell us about it using the link below, and we’ll look at it when we recheck the list.
