Micah was so quick and responsive in helping get us set up with a privacy fence. He has great knowledge of what type of fence would be best for us and explained things clearly. Rick was the one who installed our fence. He did AMAZING work! He really took his time to pay attention to detail and obviously takes pride…

Micah and the Thrive team were great to work with. Through out the process there was clear communication which I really appreciated. My yard provided some unknown challenges with buried concrete but they were able to over come them to create a great looking fence. I would highly recommend them for fencing needs.

We are so happy with our new fence. We couldn’t believe they could get it done in March after the winter we had. Micah is so responsive and patient. Also his crew is great and very hardworking. Nothing but good things to say. Don’t bother looking for another company. These guys are great!

Two sections of our wood fence were blown over in the Iowa derecho. Thrive Fencing replaced the two sections and reinforced a few wood posts in other places with metal posts. The work was completed quickly and competently with very satisfying results. I highly recommend their services to others.
