Safety is paramount to any property owner, and a fence gives that. The barrier provides security by acting as a deterrent to any would-be trespasser, be it a person, your neighbors’ pets, or wild animals. It can be as high as the limit in Rochester Hills will allow, which is six feet for residential properties. It can also have “pointy” posts— aptly named stakewalls— that clearly say “stay out”.

Fencing also acts as windbreakers to protect your home or plants. They can’t completely block out bad weather, but they offer some wind protection.

The safety a fence gives is not just aimed against intruders. Fences also act as enclosures that protect children and animals from wandering outside. It creates a safe space where they can exercise and enjoy the outdoors all within your territory.

Aside from function, fences also visually compliment your property. It marks your boundaries and adds that extra dimension that increases your home’s curb appeal. Consider the many colors and designs you can use and imagine how the right fencing completes the look of your building and landscaping.

It’s time to make that vision a reality with Rochester Hills Fencing. We do high-quality fence installation and fence repairs that meet your needs for safety, privacy, and security. And they look great, too!

Chain link fences are the most economical type of fence you can find. They’re simple but reliable, providing a low-maintenance barricade with added visibility. This is to restrict access especially in high-security facilities, industrial buildings, and sports fields.

Chain link fence installation is also popular in residential areas. Because they’re made of metal, chain link fences hold strong against strong winds, heat, snow, or high-velocity objects (such as a baseball). Chain link fences are used in many yards to contain children, pets, and gardens. They also make great trellises.

But chain link fences shouldn’t make your property look like a security prison. Nowadays, you can make them more aesthetically unique and suitable to your purpose with colored safety tops, privacy meshes, state posts, stylish caps, or privacy slats in different colors and styles. We also have PVC-coated varieties in black, green, or brown to blend into your yard.

Another great idea is to combine chain link fences with other materials. We can do them with wood framing or an aluminum frontage and gate. There are so many possibilities with quality chain link fence installation. All you need to do is sit down with us and tell us your preferences. Our edge against other chain link fence companies is that we give you a great, dependable fence that remains affordable!

Aluminum fencing is a favorite among many fence installers because it’s easy to build and requires virtually no upkeep. It is, admittedly, 8 to 10 times more expensive than fences wood, but those who look closely would find justification in its durability and a lot less need for replacements.

As a fence,aluminum is better than steel because it weighs only a third of it and it doesn’t rust or stain. You only need to power wash it once a year. Or you can use warm soap and a sponge occasionally to make it look new.

Aluminum fence installers use industrial-grade, extruded material. The advantage is that it doesn’t rot or absorb moisture. And it’s the best fencing material against snow.

As for the look, aluminum can replicate wood or steel so closely that you’ll have to touch it to prove that it’s not. The secret is powder coating, a color baking process that bonds the epoxy to aluminum permanently and evenly. While fences wood or steel would require repainting every few years or so, powder-coated fence aluminum will never flake or peel. Most brands even come with a 15 or 20-year warranty on the color.

Design your own aluminum fencing with a custom color and specialized post caps. You can have flat or decorative caps, solar lights, and more to choose from.

Wood fencing still offers the best look for rustic-type homes as it emanates a classic, natural vibe. But if you’re not one for the traditional, 4-feet high, white, picket-style, know that there are many other wood fencing designs to choose from.

Nowadays, you can get French style, lattice, or vertical board varieties in straight, scalloped, or arched shapes. You can have horizontal slats, chunky vertical timbers, or a combination of wood with another material. One common request we have nowadays is wood fencing as additional height to already existing masonry walls.

In terms of color, there are dozens available. Building a wood fence, we use only the best oil-based stains and paints. These not just make the wood fencing more attractive but keep them resilient to moisture and termites.

But take into consideration that wood fencing does require some maintenance. You can help make it last longer though by keeping your sprinklers pointed in the other direction.

Even now, wood fencing has remained affordable and practical. There are several kinds of fences wood often used, but Easter White or Redwood Cedar is the most preferred as these don’t crack or split. We can also use commercial-grade, pressure-treated pine as a more inexpensive option.

Also called PVC fences, vinyl fencing has a shiny, clean look. It is a great material to use as they are virtually maintenance-free. They don’t scratch easily and are non-absorbent. Vinyl fences are weather-resistant. It’s several times stronger than fences wood and can withstand heavy rain, intense UV heat, and winds up to 90 mph.

One great advantage of vinyl fencing is that it doesn’t need to be painted or treated against pests. To clean them, just have them power washed once every few years to get rid of dirt and mildew. And they last roughly 20 to 30 years.

Fence vinyl is a type of green material as it is fully recyclable. It’s non-toxic, so there are no harmful chemicals emitted in the air or on the ground.

It’s a versatile material and can be made to mimic other materials like wood, stone, or wrought iron. They come in different colors like beige, red, black, or gray to match your home. Neutral colors are the most preferred by clients who don’t want onlookers to get distracted from the beauty of the landscape.

We install vinyl fences with many design options including different types of post caps, decorative lattice tops, post and rail, or solid panels for more privacy.

Privacy is one of the primary objectives of fencing. It’s a blockage designed to conceal your private matters and property from the outside world.

Most privacy fencing is installed in backyards. This is where kids and pets play often and most family activities are held. Also, you can’t have a pool or hot tub in your backyard without installing a visual barrier against unwanted onlookers.

But privacy fencing doesn’t have to be solid all the way or plain. You can have one-piece vinyl panels for the bottom with a lattice design on top. You can have closely placed wood privacy fence slats or boards. You can even use a chain link fence fitted with a privacy mesh in the color of your choice.

The most economical privacy fencing is those made from wood, but vinyl privacy fences are becoming quite common nowadays because they already come in solid panels. More high-end privacy fencing are the ones customized to match the look of the home. They’re usually made of a combination of materials like wood and stone or wood and aluminum.

You may have great neighbors, but still, your life shouldn’t be on display. Relax and enjoy your private, secluded oasis with us, the best privacy fence installers around.

Posts are extremely important because they stabilize the whole fence against high pressures like strong winds and heavy snow. In short, the integrity of the whole fence depends on these posts.

To get the fence posts installed in a way that won’t heave even during the harshest of winters, a bell-shaped hole at least 3 and a half feet deep is dug. The extra width underneath ensures that the ground doesn’t heave up the post as the ground freezes. That’s why this shape must be consistent.

The depth of the hole is dictated by our region’s frost line.

The need for precision and speed in post hole drilling requires fence installers to utilize specialized tools such as post hole diggers. We’re not talking about the clamshell tool that looks like two shovels facing each other, we mean a fence post drill powered by a two-stroke engine.

A bell auger for fence posts mechanically drills the holes in under a couple of minutes. We use a single-man post hole auger for drilling with the same bit attachment. This avoids creating holes that are too shallow or too deep. Errors would mean more time spent correcting them.

Rochester Hills Fencing stays true to these key principles like these to consistently bring weather-proof fences to all our clients.

People have created rules for fence gates over time. These say that the gate should always swing inwards, or that it must be the same height as the rest of the fence.

The truth is, there are no hard rules for fence gates and gate-building other than what’s stated in the city’s building codes. A fence gate can swing inwards or outwards as long as it doesn’t obstruct or endanger public space or other people’s properties. A specialized hinge can enable your gate to both (swing inwards AND outwards) if it is necessary.

In our years as expert fence installers, we have solved some of these gate-building indecisiveness by having the gate slide sidewards rather than swing in any direction. This solves many gate building issues and potential disputes (except when your frontage is too curved).

An example of one such issue is if a driveway slopes upwards or downwards. Opening a gate against gravity isn’t exactly ideal. Another is if you have a short driveway that won’t allow you to close the gate with your car parked in it if it (the gate) swings inwards.

So are rules meant to be broken? Not quite. Rochester Hills Fencing follows a hard gate building rule to make sure each client is a hundred percent satisfied with their newly installed fence and fence gates. Now that’s a great rule to live by.

Growing up, most of us got used to using latches to open or close our fence gates. These are set high above the reach of small children so they won’t be able to get out.

But the disadvantages of those latches include some models being able to be opened from the outside. Plus, getting into your driveway will require you to get out of your car— quite the chore during foul weather.

The need for higher security is making more homeowners purchase automatic gate openers. These electric gate openers are no longer just for commercial properties or luxury homes as they have become more affordable.

They deliver better protection than those old-style latches ever can. They allow you to control who can come in or out of your property. It’s also more convenient as you can simply push a button from the comfort of your vehicle to enter your driveway.

Usually, electric gate openers for driveways need electricity to operate. But we also have solar-powered gate openers available so you’re never denied access even during power outages. This can serve as the main power source or a backup to your grid.

Since batteries are becoming more powerful, you only need to replace them every 5 or so years even with daily use.

Without locks on the gates, your fences only serve to create a border around your property. But we can help you not just install a lock on your fence gate but control who exits and enters your home or business.

Unwanted visitors are restricted easily by a reliable access system.

Some common access control systems are intercom-cameras, fob keypads, and cellphone-activated controls. They can be hardwired or better yet, operated wireless with a battery backup.

An access system works by communicating with your gate opener. Family, tenants, or employees are allowed entry with an identifier like an Apple Watch or an RFID sticker on their vehicles. Some access control systems include optical recognition capability that scans vehicle license plates or human faces.

Another type of access system simply requires you to call Alexa or Siri from your mobile. An app will let you control your gate and send you notifications in cases of attempted entry by blacklisted individuals or plates.

Find out what’s convenient and right for your gated community with us. We are certified in installing many types of security access control systems. We match the access system with your gate opener for seamless operation.

If there’s any problem, our certification is what helps you keep your warranty so that factory defects within a year of installation are covered.
