Before you hire

What Metro Detroit residents should know

Know your line and local rules

Confirm the property line and check your city or township fence rules (height, front yard, corner lots) and any HOA rules before requesting quotes.

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Most attached decks need a building permit. Fences are regulated by local zoning. Ask who pulls permits, who calls MISS DIG 811, and verify the LARA license.

Compare more than price

Compare post and footing details, materials, hardware, gate construction and written warranties, not just the bottom line.

Metro Detroit hiring guide

How to compare fence and deck builders in Metro Detroit

Fences and decks here have to survive frost heave, clay soil, snow load and wet springs, so what goes into the ground matters as much as what you see. Use this page to pick the right service, request quotes from local pros, and check the details that decide how long the work lasts. For patios and walls, see concrete and masonry pros, and for yard work around a new fence, landscaping.

Define the work before requesting quotes

For a fence, give the approximate length, height, material, number of gates and whether an old fence comes out. For a deck, give the size, height off the ground, material and whether it attaches to the house. Photos and a copy of your survey help pros quote accurately.

Michigan licensing and permits

Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license. The Michigan Residential Code exempts from a building permit only small, low, freestanding decks that are not attached to or near the house and do not serve a door; most other decks need a permit. Fences up to 7 feet are exempt from a building permit under the state code but are regulated by local zoning, and some cities, including Detroit, issue fence permits. Michigan law requires notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days before digging post or footing holes.

What to compare

For fences: post material, depth and footing, rail and panel quality, and gate hardware. For decks: footing depth, framing lumber and spacing, ledger attachment and flashing, fasteners, and guards and stairs built to code. Get every item in writing, then check verification status as described in How We Vet.

Working across Metro Detroit

Pros serve all six counties, but permits and fence rules come from the legal municipality, which is not always the city on your mailing address. In Detroit, building and fence permits go through BSEED, and local historic districts add Historic District Commission review. Browse by city or county, such as Macomb or Oakland.

Common questions

Fence & Deck Builders FAQ

Usually. The Michigan Residential Code exempts only decks that are 200 square feet or less, no more than 30 inches above grade, not attached to or within 36 inches of the house, and not serving a door. Everything else needs a building permit from the local building department.
The state building code does not require a building permit for a fence up to 7 feet high, but cities and townships regulate fences through zoning and some require a fence permit, including Detroit. Check local height and placement rules first.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license. Check the number on the LARA lookup.
Whoever digs. Michigan law requires notice at least three business days before excavating, so confirm your contractor has a ticket before any post or footing holes go in.
Spring through fall is easiest for digging and concrete footings. Booking in late winter helps you get on schedules before the summer rush.
Wood costs less up front and can be stained any color but needs regular upkeep. Composite and PVC need little more than cleaning. Both usually sit on a treated wood frame.
