Metal Fencing Built for Willamette Valley Weather
Putting up a new fence is a big investment, so picking a material that handles water is critical around Salem. Wood looks nice for a couple of years until moisture gets into the posts and rot sets in. Chain link keeps things contained, but it rarely looks great in a front yard. Aluminum hits the middle ground: it has the clean look of wrought iron, but it never rusts, warps, or needs to be repainted every few springs. At Wades Services, we walk your property line, review grade shifts, and help you pick panels that suit your home without fighting the landscape.

Residential Yards and Family Homes
Residential yards need panels that close off space without feeling like a prison wall. We set posts deep, line up every section, and hang matching gates that latch properly year after year. Whether you need to keep a dog inside the yard or enclose a swimming pool to meet local safety rules, these enclosures offer clear visibility and sturdy boundaries.
Businesses and Commercial Properties
Commercial properties, apartment complexes, and storage facilities need security that withstands heavy daily use. Commercial-grade aluminum panels feature thicker metal walls and heavy posts. They give you serious perimeter security without making your office or property look dark and unwelcoming.
The Classic Black Finish
Black powder-coated metal remains our most popular option by far. The factory finish is baked directly onto the metal, which keeps it from chipping, chalking, or fading under summer sun and damp winters. It creates a stark, classic border that highlights green grass, flower beds, and trees.
Handling Slopes and Tricky Property Lines
Very few yards in our area are perfectly flat. If your property drops off, rolls, or steps down near a sidewalk, off-the-shelf panels bought at a big-box store will leave awkward gaps underneath. We rack or step custom panels so the bottom rail stays close to the ground no matter how steep the hill gets.
Why Pick Aluminum Over Other Materials?
If you have owned a wood fence in Western Oregon, you already know the drill: power washing moss every spring, replacing rotten bottom pickets, and buying gallons of stain. Aluminum cuts out all of that maintenance. Rain runs right off it. Termites and carpenter ants ignore it completely. You end up with a solid perimeter structure that stays straight and sharp without spending your weekends working on it.
15 Years of Local Fence Building
Wades Services is family-owned, locally operated, and rooted right here in Marion County. Over the last 15 years, we have worked on almost every soil type in the area—from sticky clay in South Salem to rocky soil out toward the hills. That local background matters when it comes time to dig post holes and mix footings.
15 Years in the Region
We know local setback rules, soil conditions, and how deep posts need to go so frost and heavy mud don't tilt your fence over time.
Locally Owned and Recognized
We live where we work, proud to be recognized by our neighbors on Nextdoor and active in the community.
Licensed and Certified
Fully accredited with the BBB and holding DEQ Certification, so you know the job is done to standard.
Direct Communication
You get honest quotes upfront, reliable start dates, and a job site that is swept clean before we hand over the keys.
How We Get the Job Done
A good fence installation comes down to careful preparation. We keep the process simple and clear from the first phone call through the final gate check.
Site Walk and Measurements
We visit your property, check property pins, note grade changes, and map out where gates should sit. You get a clear, detailed estimate after we finish measuring.
Selecting Styles and Hardware
You choose the rail height, post cap style, and gate setups that fit your routine, including double gates for mower access or wide driveways.
Digging and Setting Posts
Posts go into deep, concrete-filled footings set below the frost line. Setting strong foundations is the most important step for long-term stability in wet ground.
Hanging Panels and Final Details
Once footings set up, we secure the panels, adjust gate hinges and latches, clean up soil and debris, and do a final walkthrough with you.

What Your Neighbors Say
Read honest reviews from local homeowners who hired us for their perimeter projects. We take pride in clear communication, fair work, and sticking to our timelines.
“Our backyard slopes hard toward the pool, and I was worried an aluminum fence would leave big gaps at the bottom. Daniel racked the panels to follow the grade and it looks like it was made for the yard. Gates latch properly and it passed inspection the first time.”
“Replaced 140 feet of leaning fence with board-on-board cedar. Crew showed up when they said they would, set every post in concrete, and the line is dead straight. We had that big wind in December and it didn’t budge. Fair price, no surprise add-ons.”
“We had Daniel build a composite deck off our kitchen in Keizer last spring. He walked the whole yard first and pointed out a drainage problem near the house that two other bids had missed. The TimberTech boards look great, the railing is rock solid, and there wasn’t a single screw or scrap left in the grass when they finished.”
Common Questions
Where do you travel for installs?
We handle installations throughout Salem, West Salem, South Salem, and Keizer, as well as surrounding parts of Marion and Polk counties. If you live on acreage out toward Turner, Silverton, or Dallas, give us a call. We regularly work on rural properties and suburban lots across the valley.
How is pricing calculated?
Overall project costs come down to linear footage, total height, panel style, and job site terrain. A flat yard with easy access takes less labor than a sloped hillside with heavy roots or old concrete to dig out. Driveway gates, automatic openers, and commercial-grade posts also affect the total. We provide itemized written estimates after evaluating your site so you see exactly where every dollar goes.
Does it hold up better than wood or vinyl?
Yes, especially in the Pacific Northwest. Wood fences eventually soak up moisture, warp, and rot at the ground line. Vinyl stays rot-free, but moss and algae build up quickly on light surfaces, and cold weather can make vinyl panels brittle over time. Aluminum does not absorb water, will not crack under heavy cold spells, and holds up much better against wind gusts.
What styles and colors can I choose from?
You can choose flat-top panels, pressed spear tops, safety pooling styles, or privacy designs. Black is the classic standard because it pairs well with almost any siding color, but bronze and white finishes are also available. Gates can be built as single walk-throughs, wide double gates, or arched entryways to match the rest of the fence line.
What is the typical installation timeline?
A standard residential job usually takes two to three days on-site once materials arrive. Day one is dedicated to laying out lines, digging holes, and pouring concrete post footings. We let the concrete cure fully before hanging aluminum fence panels, mounting gate hardware, and completing final latch checks on day two or three. Steep slopes or tough rock underground can add a little extra time.
Will rain and moss ruin the finish?
Not at all. Aluminum does not contain iron, which means rust cannot form even if water sits on it. The factory powder coating seals the metal completely against humidity, continuous rain, and UV rays. Moss and dirt can sit on the surface after winter, but they wash off easily without stripping the paint under it.
Do you handle commercial jobs?
We do. We install heavier-gauge aluminum systems for commercial office grounds, multi-family housing complexes, municipal spaces, and industrial storage yards. These systems use thicker rails and reinforced posts to handle higher traffic levels while keeping the property secure and sharp.
What kind of cleaning does it need?
Maintenance takes almost no effort. Spraying down the panels with a garden hose once or twice a year removes dust, pollen, and mud splashes. If you notice tree sap or stubborn soil spots, a bucket of warm water, a little dish soap, and a soft cloth will wipe it right off. There is no need for power washing, staining, or chemical treatments.
