Our Story
Since 2005, Northbound Fences has been the trusted fencing authority in St. Tammany Parish and across Southeast Louisiana. Founded and operated by Eric Bankston, the company has spent nearly two decades building a reputation for quality craftsmanship, honest pricing, and dependable service — one fence at a time.
What started as a one-man operation driven by a passion for hard work and doing things right has grown into one of the most respected fence contracting companies on the Northshore. Eric's hands-on approach hasn't changed — he's still involved in every project, ensuring the same attention to detail and quality that built this company's reputation from day one.
Northbound Fences is a full-service fence contractor serving residential customers. Whether you need a wood privacy fence to secure your backyard, a custom gate to add elegance to your property, a vinyl fence that stands up to Louisiana's heat and humidity, or a durable chain link fence for added security — our team has the materials, skills, and experience to get the job done right.
What Sets Us Apart
We specialize in wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, picket, farm, pasture, and barb-wire fences and gates. That means no matter what kind of fence you need, we can handle it. We don't subcontract our work — every project is completed by our own trained crew who takes pride in their craftsmanship.
Northbound Fences is fully licensed and insured, and we offer free estimates on every project — no surprises, no pressure. We work with homeowners, property managers, contractors, and agricultural clients. We accept cash, checks, and insurance claims, making it easy to get the fence you need after storm damage or unexpected repairs.
When you hire Northbound Fences, you're getting a team that takes care of every detail and won't leave until you love your new fence. That's been our promise since 2005, and it's a promise we intend to keep for another 20 years.
