Fence Installation in Taylor, MI
Most Taylor yards sit behind postwar ranches and brick bungalows on blocks between Telegraph, Eureka and Pardee, and many still have the original chain link out back. We tear out the old fence, set new posts 42 inches deep in concrete and build wood, vinyl, aluminum or chain link to the line.

MATERIALS FOR TAYLOR YARDS
Replacing Tired Chain Link and Weathered Wood in Taylor
Most of our Taylor work is replacement: a sagging 1960s chain link line, a picket fence that lost its posts to frost, or a gap-toothed privacy fence along a neighbor's yard. These are the four systems we install in its place.
Backyard Privacy
Wood Privacy Fencing
Cedar & Pressure-Treated Pine
The budget-friendly way to close in a rectangular Taylor backyard. Dog-ear or flat-top boards fit neatly between a detached garage and the neighbor's line.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Wood:
Cedar or treated pine
Styles:
Dog-ear, Shadowbox
Best For:
Privacy on a budget
Stain-ready on day one
Most Popular Upgrade
Vinyl Privacy & Picket
Virgin PVC, Reinforced Rails
The most common upgrade when Taylor homeowners retire old chain link. White or tan vinyl brightens a brick ranch and never needs paint.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Colors:
White, Tan, Woodgrain
Rails:
Aluminum reinforced
Best For:
No-upkeep replacements
Rinse twice a year, done
Front Yards & Pools
Ornamental Aluminum
Powder-Coated Black
A clean, low front-yard fence that keeps kids and pets in without hiding the house, and a code-ready barrier around above-ground and in-ground pools.
Heights:
3ft to 5ft
Finish:
Black or bronze
Gates:
Self-closing option
Best For:
Fronts, pools
Will not rust or need paint
Lowest Cost per Foot
Chain Link Fencing
Galvanized or Black Vinyl-Coated
If chain link works for you, we rebuild it right: new terminal posts in concrete, a top rail that stays straight and black coating if you want it to disappear.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Finish:
Galvanized or black
Gates:
Walk and drive
Best For:
Dogs, side lots
Residential and commercial

BUILDING A FENCE IN TAYLOR
What a Taylor Fence Replacement Actually Involves
Taylor is mostly built out with homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, so the typical job starts with removal. Old chain link posts are often set in concrete blobs that have to be dug or broken out, and leftover footings sit right where new posts belong. We pull them, haul them and reset the line on fresh 42-inch footings so the new fence does not heave the first winter.
Taylor is flat, with heavy clay soil, so water often sits along the back lot line after storms, so we keep wood boards and vinyl panels a couple of inches off grade. A permit is filed with the city building department before we dig, and most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet; we confirm your lot's rules before quoting. See our Wayne County page for the wider area.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Taylor Fence Questions
What Taylor homeowners ask us before they sign.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Taylor, MI?
Yes, plan on it. Taylor, like most Wayne County cities, reviews fence placement and height through its building department. We draw the plot plan and file it as part of every job.
Can you remove my old chain link fence?
Yes. Removal is on almost every Taylor quote. We pull the fabric, rails and posts, break out old concrete where it is in the way and haul everything off.
How tall can my fence be in Taylor?
Backyard privacy fences are usually allowed at 6 feet, and most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet. We confirm your lot's rules, including corner-lot sight lines, before we quote.
What does a new backyard fence cost in Taylor?
It depends on footage, material and gates. Chain link is the lowest per foot, pressure-treated wood is next, then cedar, vinyl and aluminum. The free on-site measure gives you an exact itemized number.
Who is responsible for the fence on a shared property line?
We build on your side of the line unless you and your neighbor agree otherwise in writing. If the line is unclear, a survey is the safest way to settle it before we set posts.
