Westland sits on wide-lot post-war and 1970s housing stock across western Wayne County, and those generous properties mean mature trees, privacy fences, and the occasional gate that needs attention after a hard season.

When a fence runs down in a storm, a gate drags on its hinges, or you need a solid privacy barrier to match the neighborhood character around you, Detroit Fence Pros handles the job with the same crew from start to finish. We have served Westland and the Detroit area since 2010, and we know the fencing and gate challenges that come with properties like yours in ZIP 48185.

Fencing and Gates in Westland (48185)

Westland homeowners typically work with generous lot lines and established neighborhoods where a fence does real work: privacy from neighbors, a secure perimeter for property, a finished look that matters. The housing stock here ranges from classic brick ranches to solid 1970s colonials, and a well-chosen fence complements that character. Whether you want the warmth of a wood privacy fence, the durability of vinyl, the economy of chain link, or the ornamental appeal of aluminum or iron, the right fence starts with honest site assessment and materials picked for your actual use and budget.

We have been installing, repairing, and replacing fences in Westland and throughout the Detroit area for over a decade. Our crews are fully insured, and we are AFA Member Installers through the American Fence Association. We work from your survey, pull permits where the city requires them, and coordinate with Westland's building department on setback, height, and material rules that apply to your property.

How a Fence or Gate Job Works in Westland

Step 1: You call us at (313) 513-0521 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment. We look at the fence line you identify, check the existing posts and rails, measure the run, discuss what you want (privacy, containment, appearance, durability), and talk budget. No pressure, no sales pitch. If storm damage or a leaning fence brought you to us, we document what we see and help you gather information for an insurance claim if that applies.

Step 2: We give you a clear estimate with a price per linear foot (for new fence) or a flat rate (for repairs, gates, or removal). If you say yes, we schedule the work. Before we dig any post holes, Michigan law requires an 811 utility locate to mark gas, electric, and water lines. We handle that call. Then we set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install rails and stringers, hang pickets or panels, and finish with cap and trim. For gates, we hang them plumb and level, install hinges and latches, and test the swing. For automatic gates, we install the operator and test the safety features. If it is a replacement job, we remove the old fence and haul it away.

Step 3: We clean up the site, walk the finished fence line with you, and make sure everything is solid and looks right. You get a local contractor who stands behind the work, not a franchise crew that moves on to the next job.

Pricing for fence work in Westland depends on material, length, and whether it is new installation or repair. A wood privacy fence runs from $26 per linear foot; vinyl from $37 per linear foot; chain link from $14 per linear foot; and ornamental aluminum or iron from $41 per linear foot. A gate installation starts at $480, and an automatic driveway gate system starts at $2,900. Fence repairs begin at $455, and a full replacement job typically starts at $2,400. Post replacement, staining and restoration, and storm damage work are priced on site. The best way to know what your fence will cost is to call us for a free estimate at (313) 513-0521. We will see your property, answer your questions, and give you honest numbers.

What is the setback rule for a privacy fence in Westland?
Westland's building department sets the rules for fence height, material, and how far a fence must sit from the property line and street corner. Setback and height limits vary, and they may be stricter in an HOA community. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. Before we start, we help you confirm the rules with the city and any HOA architectural standards that apply to your property.
A storm knocked down a section of my fence. Can you repair it, and will my insurance cover it?
We can. We will assess the damage, document what happened, and help you gather the information you need for a claim. Whether your policy covers the repair is between you and your insurance company. We can give you a repair estimate or, if the fence is old or the damage is extensive, a replacement estimate. Call us at (313) 513-0521 and we will come out and look.
How much does it cost to remove an old fence in Westland?
Fence removal typically starts at $2,400 and depends on how long the run is, what material it is (wood, vinyl, chain link, or metal), and how much debris there is. We haul it all away and leave the site clean. Call us at (313) 513-0521 for a free on-site quote and we will give you an exact number.
Does Westland require a permit for a new fence?
Permit requirements vary by location within Westland and depend on fence height and material. Some properties need a permit, others do not. We know the local rules, and we pull the permit if it is required. That cost is included in our estimate. If your property is in an HOA community, you will also need architectural approval. We can help you navigate that process.
My neighbor's fence is leaning toward my property. What do I do?
A leaning fence is usually a sign of rotted posts at the ground line or posts that were not set deep enough or in concrete. If the fence is on your neighbor's side of the line, it is their responsibility to repair or replace it. If you want to protect your property in the meantime, you can install your own fence on your line. If the fence is on your line (a shared fence), both properties may share the cost of repair or replacement. We can help you assess the situation and discuss your options. Call us at (313) 513-0521.
Are you fully insured for fence work in Westland?
Yes. We carry full liability and workers' compensation insurance. Our crews are insured, and your property is protected while we work. We are also AFA Member Installers, which means we follow professional standards for installation and safety.
Can you install a pool fence in Westland?
Yes. We install pool fencing to meet local pool barrier codes. Michigan law and Westland's building code set specific requirements for pool barriers, including height, spacing between pickets, gate hardware, and self-closing, self-latching hinges. We know those rules and install to comply. Final determination of compliance rests with the local authority having jurisdiction. A pool barrier is one layer of safety and does not replace supervision.
