Fencing in Northville, MI — Historic-District Wood and Township Estates

Northville is two places. The historic district wants a fence that looks like it belongs on a 19th-century street. The township wants estate-scale wood, aluminum, and gates. BH Fencing builds both — custom wood matching the house, posts set for western-Wayne freeze-thaw, nothing slapped up that the historic commission or the HOA will send back.

Fencing Northville homeowners rely on

In the walkable historic district, picket profiles, heights, and sometimes colors are not a personal mood. We work from what the guidelines and the house already say — a simple cedar picket or a tailored wood privacy in the rear, not a six-foot vinyl wall on the front porch line. Bring whatever the city or commission gave you. We'll spec to it.

Out in Northville Township, lots open up: newer estates, longer privacy runs, ornamental aluminum on the street, cedar on the patio side, custom driveway gates. That's closer to a Novi/Rochester Hills job but with a Northville taste for wood that matches stone and timber, not a builder vinyl default — unless your association requires vinyl, in which case we install that and skip the argument.

Grade, clay, and freeze-thaw still run the posts. Estate swings still fail on light hinge posts. We set below frost, drain holes, and measure gates for snow and crown. Mixed historic-plus-township households — people who know both looks — get one crew that can speak both languages on the same invoice if they own both kinds of property.
