Mike Downs Fencing: Best Fence Installation Serving Sherman, TX 75090

Local Business Overview

Mike Downs, a Sherman native born in 1977, founded Mike Downs Fencing in 2002 after serving in the US Army’s 3/75th Ranger Regiment and earning a BBA in Accounting from Texas A&M-Commerce. Growing up, he rode along with his grandfather Wayne Carr of Carr Fence Company, sparking his entrepreneurial spirit. Dissatisfied with corporate accounting, Mike returned to his calling: building high-quality fences for his community. Today, he personally handles every installation, using deep post holes and strong concrete to withstand Sherman’s common issues like vegetation damage (roots pushing against posts) and hail impacts on gates and rails. He serves neighborhoods near landmarks such as Austin College, downtown Sherman, and Lake Texoma, extending to Denison, Gainesville, Bonham, and McKinney. Mike’s workmanship carries a lifetime warranty, and he offers free gate adjustments for the life of the fence. A guitar player and song leader at Holiness Church in Whitesboro, he imbues his business with integrity, hard work, and a commitment to serving local families.
