Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can a crew start a fence project in Northview?
A consultation is typically scheduled within 48 hours. Our route from Northview High School via US-131 puts us onsite in Northview Heights within the 25-35 minute window for an initial assessment and quote.
Why do fence posts in Northview Heights fail within two years?
They are not set below the 42-inch frost line. Frost heave lifts posts out of the ground, breaking the concrete collar. The IRC requires footings for permanent structures to extend below this depth. Posts set at 30 inches will fail.
Can a smart gate meet Michigan pool safety codes?
Yes. An integrated IoT gate system with a self-closing mechanism and a latch at 54 inches can satisfy IRC Appendix AG. The system logs access and sends alerts, meeting modern liability standards for Michigan homeowners with pools.
What are the height and setback rules for a fence near US-131?
Zoning limits are 3 feet in the front yard and 6 feet in the rear. The 0-foot setback allows building on the line, but easements must be respected. For corner lots, a clear 'sight triangle' is required at intersections to maintain driver visibility near major highways like US-131.
What fencing materials last in Northview's soil?
Use materials compatible with moderate soil corrosivity and termite risk. Pressure-treated wood or vinyl are standard. All fasteners and hardware must be G90 galvanized steel or stainless steel to prevent rust streaks from soil acidity.
What is the 2026 legal requirement when my fence is on the property line?
Michigan MCL 600.2977, the 'Good Neighbor Fence Law,' requires written notice to the adjacent owner before constructing or replacing a shared boundary fence in Northview. Failure to provide this notice can impact cost-sharing and liability.
What is the first step before digging post holes?
Call MISS DIG 811 for a utility locate. Hitting a gas, electric, or fiber line in Northview Heights is a major liability with repair costs and fines. We manage the 811 ticket and pull any required permit from the Northview permit office.
How do I build a fence that won't blow down in a storm?
Design for the 115 MPH V-ult wind speed rating. This engineering standard dictates post spacing, concrete footing size, and bracket strength. In Northview Heights, 8-foot post spacing with proper bracing is required to survive peak storm season gusts.
