Dearborn's 1920s brick homes and post-war residential blocks sit on regular lots with tight setbacks and shared fence lines that define the neighborhood character. When a fence fails, gets damaged in a storm, or simply needs repair, Detroit Fence Pros has been the call for Dearborn homeowners and property managers since 2010.

We know the streets around Greenfield, the tight lot configurations near the Ford Motor Company complex, and the mix of wood privacy fences and chain link that line Dearborn's residential blocks. Our fully insured crews handle wood and vinyl fence installation, repair, gates, and everything in between. We work from your existing property markers and install on the line you identify, keeping the job straightforward and the cost honest.

Fence Work in Dearborn (48126)

Dearborn homeowners deal with the practical realities of close-lot fencing: property lines that run tight to the street, shared fence responsibilities between neighbors, and the wear that comes from Michigan weather and regular use. We install and repair wood privacy fences, vinyl fencing, chain link, ornamental metal, and gates that hold up to real conditions. Our team knows how to set posts in concrete, space them right, and use the right materials for the job so your fence stays straight and secure.

Since 2010, we have served Dearborn and the surrounding Detroit area with the same crews doing the work from start to finish. We are fully insured, AFA Member Installers, and we document our work honestly. Repair is our first move when a fence can be saved. Replacement is what we recommend when it makes the better sense.

How a Fence Job Works in Dearborn

Step 1: Call us at (313) 513-0521 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment. We look at what you have, listen to what you need, and walk the fence line with you. We talk through material choices, height, setback rules (which vary by neighborhood and HOA), and what the work will cost.

Step 2: We handle the details. Before any digging, we file for a Michigan 811 utility locate to mark underground lines. We set posts in concrete, space them to code, and install rails, pickets, or panels so everything is plumb and secure. On tight Dearborn lots, we know how to work around existing structures and neighbor access. If a gate is part of the job, we install hardware that works smoothly and stays that way.

Step 3: We clean up and walk the finished fence with you. You get a property that looks right and a fence that will hold.

Wood privacy fence runs from $26 per linear foot. Vinyl fencing starts at $37 per foot. Chain link is the budget option at $14 per foot, and ornamental metal fencing starts at $41 per foot. Repair work (sagging sections, leaning posts, rotted boards) begins at $455. A storm damage assessment is free, and we can help you document the damage for an insurance claim. Gate installation and repair start at $480, and automatic driveway gates begin at $2,900. The final cost depends on the fence length, the material you choose, site access, and whether posts need concrete setting or tamping. Call us at (313) 513-0521 for a free estimate on your specific property.

What fence height is allowed in Dearborn, and do I need a permit?

Height limits and setback rules are set by the City of Dearborn and vary by zoning. If your property is in an HOA or master-planned community, architectural standards may also apply. We recommend checking with the Dearborn Building Department and your HOA (if you have one) before we start. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. Permit requirements also vary, so we confirm what you need before we dig.

I have a fence that is leaning. Can it be repaired, or do I need a new one?

A leaning fence usually means the posts have shifted or the concrete footings have failed. We assess whether the posts can be reset, braced, or replaced individually. If the rails and pickets are still sound, we can often save the fence by fixing the posts. If the whole run has rotted or is too far gone, replacement is the better spend. We give you an honest answer on site, not a sales pitch.

My fence was damaged in a storm. What do I do?

Call us at (313) 513-0521 right away. We offer a free damage assessment. We document what happened, take photos, and help you understand what repair or replacement will cost. We can help you gather the information for an insurance claim, but the final decision on coverage rests with your insurance company. We do not promise that damage will be covered or offer to absorb any part of your deductible.

Do you install automatic driveway gates, and what does that cost?

Yes. We install automatic and driveway gates starting at $2,900. The price depends on the gate size, the operator type (swing, cantilever, or V-track), and site conditions like slope and utilities. A free site quote will give you a real number for your driveway. Call (313) 513-0521 to schedule.

What if my neighbor's fence is on my property line, and I want to replace it?

Fence line disputes are common in Dearborn's tight-lot neighborhoods. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. If there is a question about where the line actually runs, that is a job for a licensed land surveyor, not us. Once you know the line, we can handle the installation. Many fence jobs are shared costs between neighbors, so it is worth a conversation.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. You can work with confidence that our crew and your property are covered.

I want to install a pool fence. What are the code requirements in Dearborn?

Pool barrier requirements are set by Michigan state law and local code. We install pool fencing to meet local pool barrier codes, but the final determination of compliance rests with the City of Dearborn Building Department. We recommend confirming the specific height, mesh size, gate hardware, and latch requirements with the city before we start. A pool fence is a safety barrier, not a substitute for supervision.
