Redford fence company for homes and businesses

When your fence company is in your own township, the estimate visit is a short trip and the follow-up call goes to an office you know.

A Redford fence company you can drive past

Anchor Fence works out of a shop on Plymouth Road, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We are members of the Redford Chamber of Commerce, and our family has run the business for years. That matters on the day a gate needs adjusting or a storm takes down a section.

Our office takes your call, our estimator walks your property, and our crews do the install. If something needs attention later, you call the same Redford number.

Fences we install

Most Redford calls start with one of three goals: a private backyard, a safe yard for kids or dogs, or a new look out front. Many Redford lots are compact, so the fence line is close to the house, the garage, and the neighbors. That shapes which material fits. During the free estimate we look at the lot, the slope, and any old fence that has to come out first. See all residential fence options.

Privacy for a backyard close to the neighbors

A 6-foot privacy fence in vinyl or wood is the most common request we get in Redford. Vinyl fencing does not need paint or stain and cleans up with a hose. Wood fencing costs less up front and can be stained to match your trim. If you like the look of wood without the upkeep, ask about SimTek and CertaGrain panels.

Chain link fence at sunset

Chain link for pets, kids, and budgets

Chain link fencing is still a smart pick for a dog run or a side yard. It lets snow blow through, it is quick to install, and privacy slats can be added later. It also costs less than most solid fences.

Open styles for the front yard

Front-yard fences in Redford have to stay mostly open, so ornamental steel and aluminum fencing or a short picket style is the usual choice there. Aluminum does not rust, which helps near salted streets. We can add matching gates and porch and walkway railings so the front of the house looks finished.

How we set posts in clay soil

Much of Metro Detroit sits on heavy clay. Clay holds water, and water that freezes pushes posts up a little each winter. That is why fences lean after a few years. Anchor Fence typically sets posts in 42-inch concrete footings, the same depth Michigan’s building code sets for house footings. We shape the top of the concrete so water runs off instead of soaking in around the post.

  • We call MISS DIG at least three business days before we dig, so public utility lines get marked.

  • MISS DIG does not mark private lines, such as a sprinkler system or a line to a detached garage.

  • Tell us about private lines during the estimate so we can plan around them.

Permits in Redford Township

Redford Charter Township requires a permit for a new or replacement fence, and the township has its own rules for front yards and corner lots. The property owner obtains the permit from the township. Anchor Fence can advise you on the rules and give you the layout and material details for your application.

  • A decorative front-yard fence must be at least half open.

  • On a corner lot, fences inside the corner clearance triangle are limited to 30 inches.

  • Some jobs also need the township’s Privacy Fence Authorization Form, signed by the neighbor.

Fencing for businesses

Anchor Fence also builds fences for shops, lots, and buildings across Redford, from chain link around a storage yard to slide gates at a loading area. Business jobs have different needs: security, traffic flow, and keeping the site open while we work. See our commercial fencing systems, including commercial chain link and slide gate systems.

  • Commercial chain link for storage yards and lots

  • Slide gates for loading areas and drives

  • Work planned so your site stays open

Warranty, timing, and financing

Warranty

Every installation, home or business, comes with a two-year workmanship warranty. Vinyl fence material carries a limited lifetime warranty (vinyl-coated chain link is not included). Steel and aluminum product warranties reach up to a limited lifetime, depending on the product. Your quote lists the terms for your fence.

Timing

Most installations can be complete within six to eight weeks, weather pending. Spring fills up fast in Redford, so a fall or winter estimate gets your layout done early and leaves time for your permit.

Financing

If you would like to pay over time, financing is available through Hearth.

We also install fences in the cities around Redford. The full list is on our Service Areas page.
