  • How do you know who to call for a fence?

    “How do you know who to call for a fence? There are a million companies out there who claim to be the best. Also, when you read the reviews, you wonder if their best buddies posted them to make them look good. Former neighbors had put up a 4 ft blinding white vinyl fence between us. It was an entertaining day as a lot of alcohol and weed were involved. However, the end result was hideous. With the approval of our new neighbor, I decided to replace the fence. I called Superior and everyone was great. From the person who measured and gave us an estimate, to the installers it was a positive experience. I chose a basic tan vinyl, 6 ft tall. The material looks really sturdy and strong. It was one side of my backyard, and it took them most of the day to install it. I had some plants in one area, and the men were careful around them, and they remained unscathed. The cleanup left our yard immaculate The fence looks great. I keep standing out in the yard to admire it. I am really happy we called Superior.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Ann Arbor requires permits for fence installations that exceed standard height limits or fall in special zones, including its twelve local historic districts. Properties in the Old West Side, Old Fourth Ward, Liberty Street, and other Ann Arbor historic districts require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Commission before any exterior work, including fencing. Your specific address determines whether this applies to you, so confirming with your local planning and building office before starting is always the right first move. We manage permits on every Ann Arbor installation, historic district projects included. Your local Superior Fence & Rail team will confirm what your address requires and handle the application.

Properties near the Huron River, Gallup Park, and Furstenberg Nature Area have significantly higher soil moisture levels that accelerate wood rot and post deterioration. Material selection matters more in the Huron River corridor than in drier sections of the city. Aluminum and vinyl perform significantly better than wood in these high-moisture zones. The Huron River also creates designated flood zone areas where additional permits may be required and fence designs may need to allow water flow. Your local Superior Fence & Rail team will factor your property's location into material and installation recommendations.

Ann Arbor's Old West Side Historic District, established in 1972 as the first "streetscape" historic district in the country, requires design review for all exterior modifications including fences. The neighborhood's 19th and early 20th century German-immigrant architecture sets the character standard for fence design. Michigan's Local Historic District Act also prohibits property owners from opting out of historic district requirements. Before selecting any fence materials for a property in this area, contacting Ann Arbor's Historic District Commission is the essential first step. Our team is familiar with the review process and can recommend styles that are likely to be approved.

Michigan's frost line in the Ann Arbor area is 42 inches, posts must be set below this depth to prevent heaving during freeze-thaw cycles. Ann Arbor's winters regularly bring heavy snowfall and sustained cold temperatures that test fence materials and foundations. Powder-coated aluminum resists road salt corrosion particularly well along major corridors like State Street and Huron Street where winter salt application is heavy. Cedar and vinyl are the recommended options when wood or low-maintenance materials are preferred. Our crews set every post to the correct depth and use concrete footings on every build.

Michigan state law mandates barriers around residential swimming pools in Ann Arbor. Pool enclosure fences require a permit and must be reviewed by Ann Arbor's Building Services Division before final approval. Pool barriers must meet Michigan's residential code requirements for minimum height, gate hardware, and gap restrictions to prevent child access. Aluminum fencing is the most popular pool enclosure material in Ann Arbor for its durability in Michigan's climate and clean aesthetic. Our team handles pool fence permitting as part of every installation.

Ann Arbor Fence Company

Honest communication, skilled fencing experts, and reliable materials

Most fence companies will tell you they do great work. Superior Fence & Rail would rather just show you. We’ve been serving homeowners and property owners across Washtenaw County as a fence company in Ann Arbor that actually picks up the phone, shows up when we say we will, and doesn’t disappear after the final board goes in.

Quality materials matter. So does the crew installing them. Ours are trained, consistent, and accountable from the first site visit through the walkthrough at the end of the job.

Fence Company Near Me in Ann Arbor

Our crews work throughout Ann Arbor and the surrounding communities on a regular basis. That means Burns Park, Kerrytown, the Old West Side, and Water Hill inside the city. It also means Pittsfield Township, Scio Township, Ypsilanti Township, and the communities stretching out along the Ann Arbor–Saline corridor. Neighborhoods near downtown, near the University of Michigan’s north campus, near Dexter. If your property is somewhere in that area and you need fencing, there’s a good chance we’ve already worked a few streets over.

Ann Arbor Fence Contractor

Permits catch people off guard more often than they should. So do HOA material restrictions, setback requirements, and the particular way Michigan clay behaves once the ground thaws in spring. Working as a fence contractor in Ann Arbor for years means we’ve run into all of it, usually more than once. We know which communities have architectural review boards that want documentation before a post gets set, and we know how to keep a project moving without putting that burden entirely on you.

Trained crews, consistent workmanship, and no subcontractors handed your job at the last minute. That’s how we operate.

Ann Arbor Fence Builder

Your first conversation with us isn’t a sales call. We come out, look at the actual site, take measurements, talk through what you’re trying to accomplish, and put together an estimate based on real conditions rather than assumptions. Material selection happens during that process, not after. We stock what we install, so whether you decide on vinyl, aluminum, wood, or chain link, we’re not telling you to wait six weeks on a supply order. Scheduling follows from there, and you’ll know the timeline before we leave.

Ann Arbor Fence Installation

Gates hung backwards, scrap wood piled against the garage, nobody answers the phone when you call to ask about it. That’s not a horror story. It’s just what fence installation looks like when the crew is rushing to the next job. Ours aren’t. We do a site review before work starts so nothing surprises us mid-project, and we stay until the walkthrough is done. You’ll see the finished fence up close with someone from our team standing there to answer questions about it. Most jobs wrap in a day. The ones that don’t, you’ll know ahead of time, not when you get home and wonder what happened.

Ann Arbor Fence Financing

Fencing is one of those projects that’s easy to put off because of the upfront cost, even when you actually need it. If that’s where you are at in the process, our fence financing options exist specifically for that situation. Flexible payment terms, no need to drain savings to get started. Ask about it when you call for your estimate.

Ann Arbor Fencing Options

In the older residential areas near downtown and the Old Fourth Ward, wood fencing tends to be what people want. It fits. Vinyl doesn’t always, visually, but it makes a lot of sense for subdivisions where the HOA has a preferred material list and nobody wants to repaint in five years. Aluminum is a different conversation; it comes up most often around pools and on properties where the owner wants something that just stays looking good without much involvement. Chain link still has a place for dog runs, commercial properties, and larger lots where durability matters and the appearance is secondary.

That’s not all we offer. We also install pool fence, dog fence, gates and entry systems, railing, and commercial fencing throughout the Ann Arbor area. Pressure-treated pine is the starting point for most wood projects here and it performs fine, though no wood fence in a Michigan climate is entirely maintenance-free; how it’s installed and finished matters as much as the material itself. Browse our fence styles if you want to see options side by side before committing to anything.

Superior Fence & Rail Wants to Be Your Ann Arbor Fence Installation Contractor

We’ve worked on historic bungalows in Burns Park, rental properties near campus that needed something durable and low-maintenance, HOA developments out in Pittsfield Township with strict material specs, and commercial sites that just needed a fence up fast and done right. The approach isn’t the same for all of them, and it shouldn’t be. If your property is in the Ann Arbor area and you’re trying to figure out what a fence project actually looks like, contact our Ann Arbor team and we’ll set up a time to come out. The estimate is free, the conversation is straightforward, and there’s no pressure to decide on the spot.
