Defence Enterprises has been operating since 2001 in the Clarkston area. We are a family owned business, with over 40 years of family fence business history. We have grown line upon line each year because our focus has always been on Quality rather than Quantity, and we have learned how to be very attentive to the personal needs of our customers. We pride ourselves on high quality materials and installation and on customer satisfaction. This is reflective in the fact that most of our work comes from referrals. We install residential, commercial, industrial and municipal fencing, gates and railing throughout southeast Michigan. Our employees have a combined 40 years of installation experience. We have the background to do any fencing project that you need done, and do it right, at a reasonable price. Our goal is to be large enough to handle any fencing, gate or railing need that you might have, but small enough to pay attention to every detail. Our opinion is that every customer and every job is unique, and therefore requires and deserves special attention. As a customer of Defence Enterprises, you will never feel like you are just another widget on the assembly line. We strive to make you feel like you are the only customer we are servicing. There is no such thing as a job too big or too small for us. We’ve completed jobs as small as digging one hole for a flagpole, to projects as large as thousands of feet of high security fencing. Some of the companies we have serviced commercially and industrially include (Consumers Energy, Comerica Bank, Pine Knob, Chrysler, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, Pinnacle Foods, and more). In addition, a number of municipalities have contracted with us for their fencing needs (Milford, Independence Township, White Lake Township, Woodhaven and more).
"Very happy with the work done, as well as the communication along the way (from quote - based on pictures I provided - to the install). Quote was quite a bit higher than I expected, but I learned from neighbors that chain link fence costs for small jobs are quite high (based on their experience with quotes for small chain link fence jobs). Very professional, high quality work. They were able to fit me in pretty quickly (just a couple weeks compared to 6-12 weeks with other companies). Highly recommend."

"The build went great, excellent communication from everyone. Job was done earlier than expected even with them a man short for a few days. Angela and Gary outlined everything we should expect, worked around scheduling weirdness due to having a new born coming and delivered a great product. Great company, I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is planning on doing anything with an outdoor space. Gary's design was spot on, and turned out better than we even imagined."

Yes, you need to galvanize your wrought iron fence to protect it from rain and ensure its long-term durability. Galvanizing adds a protective zinc coating to the iron, preventing rust and corrosion caused by moisture exposure. This process involves dipping the iron into molten zinc, creating a barrier against the elements. While galvanized iron comes pre-treated, regular maintenance like painting with special outdoor iron paint can further enhance protection and reduce the risk of rust.
An average wrought iron fence costs more upfront than a wood fence but offers greater longevity and lower maintenance costs over time. While installing wood fencing is initially less expensive, ranging between $1,700 and $3,900, wood requires regular upkeep and may need replacing sooner. Wrought iron fencing, though more costly initially, can last a lifetime with minimal maintenance, making it a better long-term investment compared to wood fencing.
Painting a wrought iron fence usually costs between $8 and $10 per linear foot when hiring a professional. If you choose to do it yourself, you can save on labor costs, but be sure to use proper materials and techniques to ensure durability. Depending on the condition of your wrought iron fence, it may benefit from rust removal and multiple coats of paint. Choosing the right paint can make your fence more attractive and increase its long-term durability.
With proper maintenance, a high-quality wrought iron fence can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years. Keeping up with regular cleaning and refinishing every two to three years will help prevent rust and keep your fence looking its best. Consult a local wrought iron fence professional for suggestions on how to extend the lifespan of this specialty fence.
