Anchor Fence and Supply

What Anchor Fence and Supply does

Anchor Fence and Supply, operating as Anchor Fence Inc., is a 130+ year-old fence installation and supply contractor founded in 1892 and headquartered in Redford, Michigan. The company manufactures and installs residential and commercial fencing products including vinyl, chain link, aluminum, steel, SimTek polyethylene, CertaGrain textured vinyl, and custom wood fences, along with custom gates, cages/enclosures, railings, guardrails, slide gate systems, and booths/turnstiles. Vinyl products are extruded in-house at the Redford facility, and the company operates a physical showroom where customers can view display models. A proprietary anti-sag gate construction method uses internal aluminum channels and reinforced rails to address structural sag from environmental factors.

The business serves two primary segments: residential property owners seeking privacy, pet containment, pool safety, and decorative fencing, and commercial clients (businesses, schools, churches, industrial facilities, apartment communities) requiring perimeter security, access control, and equipment enclosures. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with no franchise or reseller layer: customers contact the company by phone (313-937-0101, 800-804-7444) or through an online quote form, followed by an on-site property assessment, custom design, permit handling, and professional installation by company-trained crews. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-priced installation contracts (materials plus labor) and standalone materials sales.

Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the standard model is a 50% deposit at signing with the balance due upon completion, with a 4% surcharge on credit card payments over $2,000 and 20% restocking fees for cancellations within three business days. The company sources materials from at least seven suppliers (VEKA, Elite Fence Products, LMT Mercer Group, Master Halco, Nationwide Industries, SPS Stephens, and Catalyst Fence Solutions) and offers limited lifetime material warranties on vinyl and steel/aluminum products plus a two-year workmanship warranty. Service is geographically restricted to the Metro Detroit area, and the company holds BBB A+ accreditation.
