Aluminum fence in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Aluminum fencing gives the look of wrought iron without the rust. In Metro Detroit it is a popular choice for front yards, pool enclosures and corner lots where zoning limits height or requires an open, see-through design. Powder-coated aluminum does not need painting and holds up to road salt and freeze-thaw cycles better than bare steel.
A good installer sets posts in concrete below the frost line so the fence does not heave in winter, racks panels to follow a slope instead of leaving stair-stepped gaps, and hangs gates with self-closing hinges and latches where a pool code or local ordinance calls for them. Styles range from residential flat-top panels to heavier commercial grade. For chain link or wood, see chain link fence or wood fence.
What a proper job includes
- A site visit to measure the line and note slopes, trees and utilities
- A property line check against your survey or stakes you provide
- A MISS DIG 811 ticket before any post holes are dug
- Posts set in concrete to a depth suited to frost and soil
- Panels racked or stepped to follow grade
- Gates with hinges and latches sized to the opening, self-closing where required
- Cleanup of spoils and packaging and a final walk of the line
What drives the price
- Total linear footage and the number of corners and ends
- Panel height and grade (residential, heavy residential or commercial)
- Number and width of gates, including double drive gates
- Slope of the yard and whether panels must be racked or stepped
- Removal and haul-away of an old fence
- Digging conditions: clay, roots, rubble or concrete in the way
- Pool code hardware and any permit or survey needed

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Michigan's residential code does not require a building permit for a fence up to 7 feet high, but that is not the end of it. Cities and townships regulate fences through zoning: height limits, front-yard rules, setbacks, corner visibility areas and sometimes materials. Some, including Detroit, require a fence permit (issued by BSEED in Detroit, with Historic District Commission review in local historic districts). Confirm with your municipality before posts go in, and check any HOA rules.
Michigan law requires notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days before digging, and post holes count. Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license: a Residential Builder license, or a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license in a trade that fits the work. Check the number on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes
- Get written quotes for the same panel style, height and grade.
- Confirm who applies for any fence permit or zoning approval and who calls MISS DIG 811.
- Ask how deep posts are set and how gates are kept from sagging.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Compare the manufacturer finish warranty and the installer labor warranty.
