Our story
How did Northbound Fences get started?
Northbound Fences began in 2005 as a one-man operation. Eric Bankston started it with a simple approach: work hard, do things right, and build one fence at a time. Over the years that approach grew into a full crew and a reputation across the Northshore for careful work, honest pricing and dependable service.
Eric’s hands-on approach has not changed. He is still involved in every project, which keeps the attention to detail that built the company’s name in the first place. Northbound Fences does not subcontract its work: every fence and gate is built by the company’s own trained crew.
We don’t leave until you love your new fence.
