Fencing in Birmingham, MI — Ornamental Aluminum, Custom Wood, Estate Gates
Tudors and custom homes: black ornamental on the street, custom wood and gates that match the architecture.

Birmingham fences get judged from the sidewalk. BH Fencing installs ornamental aluminum that fits a Tudor or Colonial front, custom wood privacy where the yard is actually used, and estate driveway gates hung on posts that can carry the leaf through an Oakland winter.
Fencing Birmingham homeowners rely on
Quarton Lake, Poppleton, Pembroke, and the streets around downtown mix 1920s–40s Tudors with newer custom builds. The front fence is part of the house. Spear-top or flat-top black aluminum, sometimes with a custom wood gate, is the language these elevations already speak. A six-foot vinyl wall on the front setback is how you look like you ignored the street.
Behind the house, people still want privacy from the next slate roof. Custom cedar — vertical or horizontal — is the usual ask, stained to the trim, not left to gray unless that's the look. We build to pins on lots where every foot of garden is designed. Survey first if the line is precious.
Estate gates need swing room, plow reality, and hinge posts that aren't decorative. We measure the apron. Freeze-thaw still heaves a pretty post that was set like a mailbox. We don't do that. If you want an operator, it goes in the written scope with qualified equipment — no curb-side motor promise.

What does high-end fencing typically cost in Birmingham?
Aluminum ornamental typically $32–$55/lf. Custom wood varies with detail; use $28–$48/lf as a typical wood band and expect detailed work to sit high or above. Driveway gates often $1,500–$6,000+. Ranges, not a quote.
Repair an old ornamental fence or replace it?
Bent sections and latch work are repairs. If the coat is failing and posts have walked, a new ornamental run looks like one project instead of a patchwork on a street that notices. Small repairs often $250–$1,800.
