Glidden Fence Company was established in 1976 and is still managed by the same owner, Tom Glidden. Tom started working in the fence industry in 1965 as a fence installer for a company that built only commercial fences, Hoosier Fence Company's Highway Division. He quickly became the best fence installer for that company and in 1972 he went on to work in the Ironworker's Union for the nationwide biggest fence company, Cyclone Fence, a subsidiary of U.S. Steel Corporation.
He continued honing his installation and leadership skills while leading a crew for Cyclone Fence. In 1974, he began working as a subcontractor for Hoosier Fence's Industrial Division. During his time installing commercial fences, he learned a lot of special techniques on the best way to build a fence. In 1976, he moved his family to Carmel, Indiana and opened Glidden Fence Company.
Tom scheduled fence estimates a few days a week and also took classes at IUPUI to learn about some of the nuances of running a business. After Tom had constructed a few fences in Carmel and Westfield, people started seeing his quality fence construction and business picked up.

At Glidden Fence Company, we build both residential and commercial fences in multiple styles.
Installing a fence is a hard thing to do, and it needs to be done right if you want your fence to last more than a couple years.
Many fence companies have popped up throughout the years, but none of the other fence companies that were started in Central Indiana have lasted under the same management as long as Glidden Fence because they don't understand the full circle of running a top notch fence company.

Tom sent Bill out to our house to give us an estimate.
My husband and I knew immediately that we wanted Glidden to do the job.
Bill is knowledgeable an efficient.
But, most importantly, he's a man of high character and integrity.
He's so honest and gave us some great advise on where to put the fence along with two gates.
Their crew, led by Tony, was always on time, friendly and completed quality work.
I have already recommended Glidden to my neighbors and friends.

Q: I'm ready to schedule the fence installation, what are the next steps?
A: We require a 25% deposit for new jobs and a 50% deposit for repairs and special order materials in order to schedule work.
You can pay your deposit with a check or a credit card.
Q: Will my new fence be started and finished in one day?
A: Because we set our posts in wet concrete, we have to give the concrete time to fully cure before we can put up the remainder of your fence.
Under ideal circumstances, we can finish your fence a few days after the posts are set.
