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."

"Scott was a referral from my sister-in-law Laura Y. It seems like in the 10 years since she reviewed him his work has gone down. I hired him to repair and restore a custom deck that my late husband had built. We walked around the deck and showed the things that needed to be done. He gave me a quote with specifics on it and I approved the job. He did what was on the invoice and basically NOTHING MORE. He knew this was a restoration job and it would have scope creep. There were areas that obviously needed to be repaired. I noticed a couple post with ant damage and requested he replace them and he did for a cost. But anything I didn’t call him out on he didn’t address. Scott just smashed putty into the bad spots. There were areas where he over tighten a screw and worsened a crack. He shoved blocks under sections of the rails rather than fixing them properly. Of course I was invoiced for those additional repairs when he left. I was out inspecting the decks and there’s multiple areas that were repaired with putty and the putty has since already come out. His work ethic to make sure the job is done and done right is AWFUL. I am very disappointed in his work and would never hire him again or recommend him. Additionally, the whole time he was working at the house he had such a poor attitude and moody beyond belief, as if it was my fault that he lives an hour away and that it was raining for a week. He should have recommended the areas where replacement boards were needed and suggested a repair. Please look at the photos to see what he considers a finished restoration job. The icing on the cake was when he threatened to take me to small claims court because I complained and wanted him to finish the job. What a piece of work he is!!!"

"They don’t deserve 1 star! This company is HORRIBLE!!!!!! PLEASE USE A DIFFERENT COMPANY YOU WILL REGRET COMING HERE. The lady claim all of the bad reviews are fake and that they have 100’s of happy customers. They are friendly in the beginning but once they have your money they are EXTREMELY RUDE. They hang up on you and stop answering the phones when you call back. I got my fence installed June 2020. The technician never went over the wood types or locks with me. Once installed I went back others because I wanted a different lock (the one they installed is cheap and it’s hard to lock & unlock). They never came out to change it. Now it won’t lock at all & not only that my fence is warping & there are nails missing and coming out of the fence. I went into the office today and when I tell you all of the employees are rude, the fat guy that work there called the cops on me lying saying he felt threatened by a 4’11” black woman while starring at me with a smirk on his face. Luckily I recorded the while interaction before I even walked in. PLEASE USE A DIFFERENT COMPANY KEN KIFULL, the owner Kevin, the fat guy & the entire staff are trash"

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.

Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

Installing your own gate is possible, but we don’t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even types of gates made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn’t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around $1,000. As such, it’s better to hire a professional gate installer.
