 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jarrod and his team did a great job. I had a neighbor who disagreed with me about placement of the fence. Jarrod handled the situation beautifully and readily made adjustments on the fly. It was over and above service. I'm grateful.

They heard what we needed, helped us plan, and efficiently set up & took down our perimeter fence working on our tight schedule. I highly recommend them and will be using them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used them for fencing to create throwing cages for our adaptive sports track meet.  They were easy to work with and the crew that delivered and picked them up were right on time!  They offered to set them up, but it was a unique use, so we did it.

Wood fence

Cedar is the most common wood privacy fence in the Otsego area. We build on-site from western red cedar or treated lumber, not prefabricated panels.

Vinyl fence

Vinyl is fully maintenance-free and does not rot, warp, or rust through Michigan winters.

Aluminum fence

Aluminum is rust-proof and requires no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. A standard choice throughout Allegan County.

Chain link fence

Chain link is the most cost-effective option for large perimeters, dog runs, and commercial applications.

Gate and access control

We install swing, slide, and automated gates for residential driveways and commercial facilities throughout Allegan County.

What Otsego’s climate means for your fence

Allegan County soils in the Otsego area include sandy loam and glacial deposits along the Kalamazoo River valley. Some areas near the river have higher moisture retention that affects post depth and drainage around footings. Freeze-thaw cycles through West Michigan winters create seasonal soil movement on every project. We assess site conditions on every visit.

West Michigan winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and lake-effect snow from Lake Michigan. Aluminum and vinyl handle these conditions without additional maintenance. Cedar holds up well when properly installed and maintained.
