Chain-Link Fencing Dearborn, MI

Initial Consultation and Quote

• Two of our fencing experts will arrive at your property for an initial consultation, walking the perimeter to take precise measurements and discussing your vision for the new fence
• We’ll make recommendations on optimal fence height, placement and any custom add-ons to match your goals
• You’ll receive a detailed quote outlining the full scope of work and cost breakdown with all materials and labor included
• This allows you to review the estimate on your timeline and call us back whenever you’re ready to schedule the fencing installation

Preparing the Installation Site

• Upon project kickoff, we prep the site by marking layout lines and underground utility locations
• Any existing fences or debris need to be removed before our crew can get to work
• We’ll handle any trees or bushes that need trimmed or cleared from the installation area
• Proper grading and leveling of the terrain ensures your chain-link fence sits evenly across the entire run

Digging Post Holes

• We dig precisely spaced post holes per manufacturer guidelines, generally 8 to 10 feet apart
• Hole size and depth depends on your soil type, frost line, wind and other factors to make sure posts are secured firmly
• If installing a taller privacy fence, we may need to utilize concrete to anchor posts below ground
• Spot checking hole depth as we go ensures consistent installations that won’t shift over time

Installing Fence Posts

• With post holes fully prepped, we install and secure fence posts made from long-lasting galvanized steel
• Bracing, tension bands and specialized fasteners keep everything straight, plumb and true to dimensions
• We utilize various post styles as needed—terminal posts at corners and gates, line posts along runs and corner posts at changes in direction
• Finished post tops are neatly capped for safety and a polished appearance

Hanging the Chain-Link Fabric

• The chain-link itself comes in rolls of fence fabric made from durable galvanized steel wire
• We securely fasten the tightly woven wire to one end, pull it taut and attach to the entire run
• Cutting any excess chain-link with specialized tools, we then bind and finish the end with tension bands
• This creates a drum-tight barrier free of sagging while still allowing visibility from your property

Adding Custom Privacy Slats

• For increased privacy, we give homeowners the option to have vinyl slats installed into the chain-link fencing
• These can be ordered in a variety of colors to match your exterior palettes from green and brown to white or black
• Slats easily slide into place horizontally across the links and can be removed later on if desired
• They block visibility to enhance privacy but allow air and some light to permeate through

Hanging and Adjusting the Gate

• Gates provide necessary access points across all chain-link fences
• We install hinges and latches designed specifically for chain link gate function and security
• Checking for level and plumb, gates are carefully hung to avoid dragging the ground or creating locking issues
• Once installed, we adjust tension, alignment and hardware until the gate operates smoothly

Installation Cleanup Process

• As our fencing team works, we regularly clear away debris, tools, scrap materials and garbage
• Magnet sweepers remove nails, staples or metal shards from the work area
• We level grade any soil or sod damage around the site from digging or equipment
• You’re left with a new fence ready to enjoy that blends perfectly into the landscape

Project Walkthrough and Payment

• When the fence is completely installed, we do a final walkthrough with homeowners
• This ensures every detail meets your expectations for functionality and appearance
• We’ll make any last tweaks necessary to ensure your happiness
• With the project exceeding your vision, all that’s left is final payment and for you to enjoy your new chain-link fence for decades to come!
