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.

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.

Fencing materials for Schoolcraft homes and businesses

Each material performs differently through a West Michigan winter. The right choice depends on your property, goals, and long-term maintenance preferences.

Wood fence

Cedar is the most common wood privacy fence in the Schoolcraft 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 for decorative perimeter fencing throughout Kalamazoo 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 Kalamazoo County.

What Schoolcraft’s climate means for your fence

Southern Kalamazoo County soils around Schoolcraft include sandy loam typical of the region’s glacial deposits, with heavier soils in some low-lying areas. Freeze-thaw cycles through Southwest Michigan winters create seasonal soil movement that affects post depth and concrete footings. We assess site conditions on every visit before installation begins.

Lake-effect snow off Lake Michigan reaches the Kalamazoo area through winter. Aluminum and vinyl handle these conditions without additional maintenance. Cedar holds up well when properly installed and maintained.
