Defence Enterprises has been operating since 2001 in the Clarkston area. We are a family owned business, with over 40 years of family fence business history. We have grown line upon line each year because our focus has always been on Quality rather than Quantity, and we have learned how to be very attentive to the personal needs of our customers. We pride ourselves on high quality materials and installation and on customer satisfaction. This is reflective in the fact that most of our work comes from referrals. We install residential, commercial, industrial and municipal fencing, gates and railing throughout southeast Michigan. Our employees have a combined 40 years of installation experience. We have the background to do any fencing project that you need done, and do it right, at a reasonable price. Our goal is to be large enough to handle any fencing, gate or railing need that you might have, but small enough to pay attention to every detail. Our opinion is that every customer and every job is unique, and therefore requires and deserves special attention. As a customer of Defence Enterprises, you will never feel like you are just another widget on the assembly line. We strive to make you feel like you are the only customer we are servicing. There is no such thing as a job too big or too small for us. We’ve completed jobs as small as digging one hole for a flagpole, to projects as large as thousands of feet of high security fencing. Some of the companies we have serviced commercially and industrially include (Consumers Energy, Comerica Bank, Pine Knob, Chrysler, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, Pinnacle Foods, and more). In addition, a number of municipalities have contracted with us for their fencing needs (Milford, Independence Township, White Lake Township, Woodhaven and more).

"Very happy with the work done, as well as the communication along the way (from quote - based on pictures I provided - to the install). Quote was quite a bit higher than I expected, but I learned from neighbors that chain link fence costs for small jobs are quite high (based on their experience with quotes for small chain link fence jobs). Very professional, high quality work. They were able to fit me in pretty quickly (just a couple weeks compared to 6-12 weeks with other companies). Highly recommend."

Additional DBA - Sterling Fence.

"Terrible service. Ordered fence in November 2016. Job was finally done in August 2017. Didn't cancel because of cancellation fee. Wouldn't show up when he promised. Avoided phone calls until it was time to pay him. Fencing sat on our back patio all summer until finally finished in August. We only had one side of our yard done. And the whole reason we finished fencing our yard is because we got a dog. There is such a big gap by the gate that our dog can get out anyway. Why bother calling them to fix it because I know Giles won't do anything about it anyway. Also, provided the same type of service to a friend. Unfortunately, we hired him around the same time, so neither of us knew how terrible he would be to work with."

Hi! This is Gary, the owner of GM Construction. I started in wood and custom cabinetry and studied under a master carpenter for many years before starting my own business. I designed GM Construction to stand head-and-shoulders above the competition in many ways. Here are a few examples: First, I personally do a complimentary consultation with each homeowner. I listen to what you envision for your project and bring sample materials with me to educate you on the pros and cons of all your options. From my vast hands-on experience, I can offer suggestions when appropriate so that your project will complement your home and lifestyle.

Third, you will be satisfied with your project's outcome. I take care to make sure that every client is well taken care of and gets the wow factor in the work we complete. My business is booming because of the great referrals my clients and work produce. Take me up on my free in-home consultation so that you can experience the difference working with GM Construction. - Best! Gary Suchland

"The build went great, excellent communication from everyone. Job was done earlier than expected even with them a man short for a few days. Angela and Gary outlined everything we should expect, worked around scheduling weirdness due to having a new born coming and delivered a great product. Great company, I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is planning on doing anything with an outdoor space. Gary's design was spot on, and turned out better than we even imagined."

FAQs for projects in Carleton, MI

A shadowbox fence arranges boards on alternating sides of the rails with small gaps between them, creating an identical appearance from both sides while allowing some airflow between the boards. Standard privacy fences place all boards on one side with no gaps, creating a solid barrier. The shadowbox design requires more lumber to achieve the alternating pattern, but provides the benefit of an attractive appearance for both the homeowner and neighbors.

Installation timelines depend on the length of your fence, site conditions, and weather factors. Professional fence contractors can complete standard residential projects efficiently, while DIY installations require more time, especially if you're learning the techniques or working alone. Factors like rocky soil, slope challenges, or the need for multiple gates can extend the timeline for any installation project.

Maintenance requirements vary by material choice. Pressure-treated lumber requires the most attention, needing to be stained or sealed every two to three years. Cedar and redwood need treatment every three to five years. Composite and vinyl options require minimal maintenance, with only occasional cleaning needed. All fence types benefit from periodic inspections to address any developing issues before they worsen.

Shadowbox fences perform well in windy conditions because their design allows some air to pass through the spaces between boards, reducing the overall wind pressure on the structure. This partial airflow makes them less susceptible to wind damage than solid privacy fences. For maximum stability in particularly windy locations, ensure posts are properly set according to recommended depths based on your fence height.
