Fence Builders Midland MI | Call Lemieux Fence Company

The freeze-thaw cycles and sandy soil common in Midland can cause fence posts to heave or shift over time. This often happens when posts aren't set deep enough or when water pools around the base. At Lemieux Fence Company, we address this by removing the affected posts, digging below the frost line (typically 42-48 inches in our area), and using concrete footings with proper drainage. We can also replace damaged sections with new, pressure-treated posts that are rated for ground contact, ensuring your fence stays straight for years.

Rust on chain-link fencing or gates, especially in areas with high moisture or road salt exposure (like near M-20 or the Tridge), is a sign that the galvanized coating has worn away. If left untreated, it can weaken the metal and cause the gate to sag or fail. At Lemieux Fence Company, we can replace the rusted sections with new galvanized or vinyl-coated chain-link that's better suited to Midland's climate. We also recommend periodic inspections and touch-up painting for minor rust spots to extend the life of your gate.

For homes along busy roads like Eastman Avenue or near the Midland Mall, we often recommend a 6-foot solid privacy fence made from cedar or vinyl. These materials block both sightlines and noise effectively. Our team will ensure the fence is installed with proper setbacks to account for utility lines and drainage, and we can add a gate for convenient access to your backyard. This solution not only provides privacy but also increases your property's security and curb appeal.
