About us

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).

Response from Defence Enterprises
[Member Name Removed], I apologize that you did not receive a call but this is the first correspondence that I've received from you. Based on our other reviews it is obvious that this is not how we operate. I was out of state last week at my sons baseball tournament and tried my best to return calls and emails as thoroughly and timely as possible, but there is a chance I missed your message. Every call is very important to us, I will contact you tomorrow and do anything that I can to assist with your project. I would appreciate it if you would remove this review and give us a chance to show you how we conduct business. Thank you for reaching out and I'm looking forward to speaking with you. Have a great 4th! I do not have your phone number, will you please either call me at the office, email me or give me your contact information. Thx Matt Defence Enterprises (248) 625-1100

Description of Work: Defence enterprises installed a black vinyl chain link fence with a 6' double gate over a portion of the yard. |Matt came out initially for the estimate. He was very polite and professional. Another company I contacted would not come out because the area was too small for them to consider. Jason installed the posts and was polite and professional. The rest of the fencing was installed at a later date when I wad not home. The fence looks great and the dogs appreciate their new play area.

Description of Work: Matt was awesome. Came out and gave me a few suggestions and a no nonsense, no upsell quote. Terms were flexible, work was done on or ahead of time. Quality was good, cleanup was great. I could have done the job myself but for the avoided frustration and time away from my family I am completely satisfied with hiring this company. Thanks ! My family and my 2 dogs appreciate your work.

Matt from Defense came out on the appointed time and talked with me about what I wanted done, and prepared an estimate which he explained and left with me. He was very friendly and appeared to care about his business and his appearance. Based on our perception that the price he was going to charge for the work seemed fair, we called him the next day and made a down-payment (he accepted a credit card payment over the phone) to start the work. It was a 2-day process, he explained, because they are careful to dig and set the fence posts in concrete the first day, and then they finish installing the fences the second day after the posts have set up. Matt called in Miss Dig to mark all the utilities, and his crew was there the next day to start setting posts. His only request was to be able to use the outside hose to mix concrete. The next day, the fencing was all complete. I was not able to be there to see all the work done, but the end result speaks for itself. Everything was installed in a neat and workmanlike manner. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the crew had not only made the corrections to the existing fence (broadening a very narrow gap in the fence at a driveway that used to have a gate installed) but that they straightened a number of bent poles that had been damaged over the years. The fence now looks as staight as it would if it was new! The fence was put in for my daughter's dog, and the first time she (the dog) had a chance to take a run in her new back yard, you could see how excited she was. That made the cost worth it, and having Matt and his crew do this installation was a great decision. Based on the high quality results at a reasonable price, I would certainly recommend Defense to anyone looking for a well-installed fence!
Description of Work: I called Defense to get an estimate for installing some additional galvanized fencing to an existing back yard fence system to create a fenced-in area for a dog. I also needed some changes to portions of the existing fence.

The project went very well and I couldn't be more pleased. After signing the order, the crew was out right away and demolished the old fence. They then set the new posts so that they would know the exact distance between posts in order that they could order the proper length fence spans. They cleaned everything up very well and left the place spotless. Matt had warned me that, because each span must be custom built since each was a different length, it would take about 4 weeks to get all of the materials in stock and built. While it ended up taking 6 weeks, that was not the fault in any way of the company. Their supplier had failed to ship all of the needed parts after 4 weeks so Matt had to stay on the supplier to finally get all of the parts. Matt was great at keeping me advised every week as to where we were on the progress of the project. Finally, the supplier sent the last parts and the next day, the crew was at the house and installed the fence. They did a terrific job working up to the tree and making sure all gates worked perfectly. There is no question that the installation crew does superb work and really knows their business. Their "can do" attitude is most refreshing and I would be pleased to have them do more work. Once again, they cleaned up so well when they left that your would never know that they had been there other than the beautiful new fence that they left for us. I'm looking forward to never having to paint the fence again (alleluia!) and just enjoying the beauty of the material and the smooth working gates. We placed the order on May 2nd and the job was finished on June 22nd. But, as I said, Matt kept "on the job" to assure that things went as quickly and smoothly as they possibly could. If you are considering getting a quote on fence work, I would highly recommend that you give Defence Enterprises a chance to give you a quote as I know that you will be happy with their work.
Description of Work: I had run out of patience with annually painting our old wooden dog run fence that is about 70 feet long. The fence has two gates in it with one gate being a double gate 9 feet wide. In addition, in the middle of the long 35 foot run of the fence, there is a large silver maple tree (which continues to expand in diameter each year!). Matt Sparre came out the day after I called him and had many good suggestions on how to replace the wood fence with a beautiful vinyl picket fence that duplicated the shape of the existing fence with scalped tops between fence posts. It was apparent that Matt and his crew were experts and eager to do the work despite the challenges of dealing with the tree and the fact that each span between posts would have to be a different length. I signed up on the spot and gave Matt a $2,000 deposit which was 1/3rd of the quoted price (which, by the way, I considered reasonable for the superior vinyl material requested and the design/installation challenges involved).

I liked everything about them. They did very good work. Initially they did not want to get the permit from the township. They asked us to get it. We put pressure on them and they eventually did get it. That was the only thing of concern about them.

We called to have fencing installed along the sides of our backyard (back property line was already fenced). We have a pie-shaped lot with a couple minor design challenges, including having an in-ground pool that already had fencing directly around it. (That would have meant we'd have a fenced-in area with a fenced-in backyard.) Matt provided several design recommendations, and we accepted them all--and couldn't be more pleased. One suggestion completely amazed us because it saved us about $2,000!!! Matt pointed out that the panels on that pool fence were still in excellent condition, and he proposed moving them to the perimeter of the yard. We agreed, and Defence removed the existing posts around the pool, installed new posts at the property sides, and attached the old panels to the new posts. In addition to the monetary savings, the yard feels much more open now. Workers were professional, courteous, and efficient. They completed the work in the timeframe estimated. The results are awesome!!

There were some appointment issues in the beginning. Part of that being my responsibility due to erratic work hours. We worked that out and from there it was nothing but good. I took their advice on the type of fence material and it was a very good advice. The installation went without a hitch and I now have a very beautiful fence around the backyard. The dogs are loving it, too.

They even put extra posts in the back so any wolves or coyotes would not eat my small dog. He walked the property with me and made sure he understood my needs and the needs of my dog. He made recommendations at the low, middle and upper ends. It is very nice and is plastic coated. The black covering on the steel did cost extra. They came when they said they would and did what they said they would do. Nobody took their shirt off and walked around with their paunchy bellies hanging over. They were well dressed, well mannered and well spoken. They did what they had to do and then went home. They liked my dog and my dog liked them.
