Fence Companies Detroit installs fences across Auburn Hills, home to Oakland University, Great Lakes Crossing and the Stellantis HQ. You get a local crew, honest up-front pricing, and a fence built for Michigan: posts set below the 42-inch frost line in concrete, so it stands straight through every freeze-thaw winter instead of leaning by spring.
Privacy without the upkeep
Vinyl fencing costs more than wood up front and then almost nothing after: no staining, no sealing, no rot. In our freeze-thaw climate the panels shrug off moisture that slowly eats wood, and a quality vinyl fence keeps its clean look for decades with a rinse from the hose.
Every fence we build is set for Michigan. The frost line here runs about 42 inches deep, so we set posts below it in proper concrete footings. Posts set shallower get gripped by the freeze-thaw cycle in our clay-heavy soil and jacked out of plumb a little more every winter, which is why so many older fences lean. Ours do not.
Why Detroit-area homeowners pick vinyl
- Zero maintenance - no paint, stain or seal, ever.
- Handles our weather - quality vinyl is formulated to stay stable through Michigan winters.
- Clean, uniform look - privacy, semi-privacy and picket styles in white, tan and grey.
- Long warranties - vinyl products typically carry the longest manufacturer warranties in fencing.
Vinyl styles and what each is for
Full-privacy vinyl uses tongue-and-groove panels with no gaps at all, the tightest screening you can buy, popular in the newer subdivisions of Canton, Novi, Shelby Township and Macomb where owners want the yard done once and never maintained. Semi-privacy spaces narrow pickets above or between panels so air and light move through while sightlines stay blocked. Vinyl picket gives the painted-white-fence look without ever painting, right for front yards and corner lots where open styles are required. Ranch rail suits the big lots on the metro's edges, defining a boundary without walling anything in.
Quality matters more in vinyl than any other fence: heavier-wall panels with reinforced bottom rails are what keep a vinyl fence from sagging or going brittle in a Michigan January. That is what we install, in white, tan and grey.

Common questions
Does vinyl fence crack in cold weather?
Quality vinyl is engineered for cold climates and stays stable through Michigan winters. Cheap, thin panels are where cracking problems come from, which is why we install heavier-grade product with reinforced rails.
Is vinyl worth the extra cost over wood?
Over the life of the fence, usually yes. You pay more on day one and then never pay for stain, sealer or rot repairs. If you plan to be in the home a while, vinyl is often the cheaper fence per year.
What are the fence rules in Auburn Hills?
