Commercial & Industrial Fencing Across Metro Detroit

A commercial fence has a job: keep the lot secure, look like it belongs on the street, and still work after a plow hits the same corner every winter. BH Fencing builds commercial and industrial fencing across metro Detroit — chain link, ornamental aluminum, privacy screens, and drive gates — for shops, offices, and yards in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb, including the Golden Corridor in Southfield and the plant-and-warehouse belt along Mound and Van Dyke.

What Commercial Sites Here Actually Need

Southfield office and light-industrial sites often want a black ornamental or coated chain-link face toward the road and heavier fabric out back. Warren and the Mound corridor need gates a box truck can use without dragging. Schools, churches, and storage yards want a spec that a board can approve — height, coating, and a lockable drive opening.

We walk the site, mark utilities awareness, and quote a commercial spec, not a backyard leftover. If you need after-hours or phased work so the lot stays usable, we plan that in the schedule — not as a surprise on day two.

• Commercial chain link — galvanized or black coated
• Ornamental aluminum for street-facing office sites
• Privacy slats and screen panels where dumpsters shouldn't star
• Manual and prepared-for-operator drive gates
• Phased installs so the business stays open

Gates, Access, and Winter Reality

The gate is the fence. Undersized posts and a pretty leaf that sags after January are how commercial jobs come back as complaints. We spec gate posts and hardware for the opening and the traffic. If you want automation later, we set the posts and conduit path so you're not core-drilling a finished install.

Snow storage and plow paths matter on metro Detroit lots. We'll talk about where the fence can live so the first contractor who clears the lot doesn't own your corner post. That's local knowledge, not a line on a national bid sheet.

• Drive gates sized for trucks, not just a sedan
• Posts and hardware that survive freeze-thaw and slam cycles
• Locking plans that match how your staff actually closes up
• Plow and snow-pile clearances called out before we dig
• Operator-ready posts when automation is in the future

Typical Commercial Pricing — Ranges Only

Commercial chain link often sits in the same $18–$32 per linear foot neighborhood as heavy residential, then climbs with gauge, height, and coatings. Ornamental street face typically tracks the $32–$55 per linear foot aluminum range. Driveway gates commonly run $1,500–$6,000+ depending on width and hardware. These are typical ranges, not bids.

A written commercial quote follows a site walk: footage, terminals, gates, removal, and any privacy screen. Financing on approved credit can apply to privately owned properties; public-bid work is scoped as specified.

• Chain link commercial: typically $18–$32/lf, higher for heavy gauge
• Ornamental street face: typically $32–$55/lf
• Drive gates typically $1,500–$6,000+
• Site walk required for a real number
• Removal, gates, and screens itemized

Licensed, Insured, One Crew

We're a licensed and insured local contractor — no license-number theater on the website, just a crew that carries the coverage a property manager should ask for. We'll provide insurance documents on request before we mobilize.

You get one point of contact from walk-through to punch list. We don't disappear behind a project coordinator in another state. If a gate needs a callback after the first freeze, you call the same shop.

• Certificate of insurance available on request
• Written scope — no verbal “we'll handle it”
• Cleanup that leaves a working lot, not a scrap pile
• Workmanship guarantee on what we install
• Service-area coverage within 35 miles of metro Detroit
