After Joseph's death the company was passed down to his loving wife, Evelyn, and later his children. Decades later, his grandsons decided to continue the family traditions of craftsmanship and quality. Today, 10 separate companies dot the Midwest - each owned and operated by one of Joseph's grandsons.
Mae Fence is one of these companies. Like our sister companies, we're committed to carrying on his legacy. We're proud of the heritage and rich history Joseph Keefe left us. He taught us personal responsibility, quality workmanship, honesty, and to believe in God. Every fence we build is a testament to the his values.

Services
Plenty of companies build fences. Very few do it right. At Mae Fence, we build fences with techniques handed down for generations. We use only the best components - and the best craftsmen - to build fencing that we're proud to put our name on. We are a family-owned company specializing in cedar, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fence.
The type of fencing product you choose depends on what you're trying to achieve. Whether you're primarily interested in safety, aesthetics, or cost-effectiveness, we can help. For a rich, natural, wood fence, cedar is the perfect material. Cedar naturally resists decay and insect damage. By using unique fence patterns, board spacing, heights, and our patented post-carving method, we can create a fence that's uniquely you.
I know adding a fence to a property can be a big under taking. I got about 3 different quotes in the area, and Tim with Mae fence was hands down the most informative and professional of the bunch. I would recommend him to anyone that asks and/or compliments on my new fence. I was looking for a fence that was going to stand up to time, and Mae delivered.

We just had a six foot privacy fence installed in our backyard. I see a lot of people complaining about the installers being difficult to communicate with due to ESL. We had a crew that spoke limited English, we had no issue communicating with them what we wanted, when we asked for the posts to line up a little differently they agreed with a smile, and dug all new post holes which is grueling work. Our fence was installed with levels and lines laid first, it is beautiful and well done, and they stayed until after dark finishing up so we could let our dog run in her yard.

Had three different fence quotes and Mae was easily the cheapest. I also saved a couple hundred dollars by presenting a Valpak coupon. The quality of work didn’t suffer with the price as we’ve received several complements from neighbors and friends/family. They were able to schedule us pretty quickly and got the project done in one day. It’s only been a month but I couldn’t be happier with the product.

Really impressed with this company. Everyone was extremely friendly. I work in construction as well, and sometimes I feel like a job is only done right if I do it myself, but these guys made me happy that I chose to save my back on this one!! Well worth the money spent. I did have to bump my job a week due to a personal matter, but they were great about it and it wasn't a problem. Bruno and Coconut are happy to roam, too. Win-win!

Overall I'm mixed with the results. Both my neighbor and I had fences completed by Mae Fence. Mine went pretty well, the crew that installed it seemed professional and the results were solid. My neighbors' crew though was less than perfect by far. First, they installed a completely different style of gate in the fence than was requested. My neighbors asked for the same one I had. Also, for some strange reason they didn't line up the fences were they meet so their fence is set back a foot or so. It looks strange from the street not to have one contentious fence line. Finally, there were 3 areas

They didnt line my fence with the neighbor's, left wood boards, a big piece of concrete, and a lot of nails in the yard. The angle of the fence is wrong but they just used the nails to fill the gap. The gate is already scrapping the frame. This wasn't a cheap project and I thought they were professional. The reviews were good before but now it's full of warnings. Look somewhere else

I lined up to have a fence installed for my parents, who live in Columbus, and even though I waited a month for the cedar fence to be installed (I was told they were extremely busy) it was well worth the wait! The fence looks gorgeous, we are beyond grateful to have come across this company! 10/10 would recommend

Overall, we were fairly pleased with the quality of work and the finished product. That being said, their crews definitely have some room for improvement. The cleanup could've been more thorough. They used small chainsaws to trim the post tops before putting the caps on. Most of the caps are somewhat crooked. Not enough to sour me towards this company or give them an unfair/nasty review, but it could've been done more neatly. Their charges are quite fair, so you tend to be somewhat forgiving, knowing that you got probably one of the best deals out there!

Unreliable and unprofessional! I had an in-home consultation scheduled that had to be rescheduled because the person coming was in a car accident. I did get a call from someone named Matt who let me know the appointment had to be postponed. Matt told me he would come to my property a few days later and measure the yard, which did not happen. I called the office and asked why Matt had not been out to measure. She scheduled a new consultation appointment for today at 5:30pm. I waited until 5:55pm. No show, no call. They obviously don't want the business.

I had an incredible experience with this company, their craftsmanship is top grade. Original designs with quality cedar that's maintenance free, and all fabricated here in Columbus. It's something to be proud of, that you don't look like everyone who runs out to Home Depot to buy pine that starts warping Day 1. I see some other reviews on here with one star, I can't fathom where these people are coming from. My family is stoked to have the privacy and my neighbors thank me for the fresh cedar smell ;)
