Michigan winters destroy fences and gates faster than anywhere in the country. We specialize in repairs that last, whether it's a historic iron fence in Palmer Woods or a modern aluminum gate in Rochester Hills. Our approach goes beyond quick fixes - we address root causes like frost heave and salt corrosion.
For brick-anchored fences common in Detroit's historic districts, we install stainless steel sleeves that prevent future loosening. Suburban vinyl fences get reinforced steel posts below frost lines. We've repaired gates at Belle Isle Park, private fences along the Detroit Riverwalk, and security barriers throughout Midtown.
All repairs include custom fabrication of missing or damaged parts. We match original designs for historic properties and improve weak points on newer installations. Optional galvanized or powder-coated finishes add years of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix gates that won't close in winter?
We install heated hinges and adjustable stops that compensate for ground movement - common in Troy's clay soils.
Do you work with wrought iron fences?
Yes, we're one of few shops still trained in traditional forge welding for historic ironwork repairs.
How deep should fence posts be in Michigan?
We install 42" deep with gravel drainage - below the frost line for reliable year-round performance.
