Premium Natural Material
Wood Fencing
There's a reason wood is still the most popular fence in America. A well-built cedar fence is warm, private, and looks like it belongs — and when it's installed right, it stands up to decades of Michiana weather. Custom Fence Company has been building wood fences here since 1975.
Why cedar
Most of our wood fences are built from cedar, and for good reason. Cedar naturally resists rot and the insects that destroy lesser lumber, so it lasts far longer than treated pine without constant babying. It's beautiful out of the gate, it ages gracefully, and it adds real value to your property.
Built for Michiana winters
Freeze-thaw cycles are what destroy a cheap fence — posts heave, gates sag, and within a few years the whole line is leaning. We set posts properly and below the frost line so your fence stays straight through the seasons. Fifty years of installing in this exact climate is the difference.
Styles we build
Privacy Fence
Full-height boards with no gaps. The standard for backyards, pool areas, and anywhere you want to be unseen.
Picket Fence
The classic front-yard look. Defines a yard, keeps pets and kids in, stays neighborly.
Semi-Privacy & Custom
Spaced or shadowbox styles, lattice tops, and custom heights. Tell us the look you're after.
Wood Fencing Questions
There's no honest one-size answer, because the price depends on what you're building. The biggest factors are the material (chain link is the most affordable; wood and vinyl cost more; ornamental aluminum sits at the top), the length and height of the fence, the terrain (slopes and obstacles add labor), and gates and add-ons. The best way to get a real number is a free estimate — we measure, talk through options, and give you a price with no surprises.

Vinyl (PVC) Fencing
If your idea of a perfect fence is one you install once and basically forget about, vinyl is it. PVC fencing never needs painting or staining, shrugs off Michiana weather, and stays looking new for decades. Custom Fence Company installs vinyl privacy, semi-privacy, picket, and rail fencing for homes and businesses.
Why homeowners choose vinyl
• Almost no maintenance
No painting, no staining, no sealing. Hose it off and you're done.
• Stronger than it looks
Quality vinyl is several times stronger than wood and won't rot, splinter, or warp.
Vinyl Fencing Questions
Quality vinyl fencing commonly lasts 20–30+ years and typically carries strong manufacturer warranties on the material itself, on top of our workmanship guarantee.
Quality PVC fence is made to resist UV fading and stay flexible in cold. The grade of material matters — we install fencing built to handle Michigan sun and winters.
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link is the workhorse of fencing — secure, durable, and the most budget-friendly way to enclose a yard, a pet area, or a commercial site. Custom Fence Company has installed reliable chain link across Michiana for 50 years, for everything from backyards to schools to power companies.
Options we offer
Galvanized
The classic silver finish. Tough, affordable, and built to last.
Aluminized
Extra corrosion resistance for a longer life in our wet, snowy climate.
Vinyl-coated
A clean look in green, brown, or black that blends into landscaping and resists rust.
Chain Link Questions
A properly installed galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link fence commonly lasts 20+ years. Aluminized and vinyl-coated finishes hold up especially well against Michigan moisture.
Chain link is typically the most affordable fence to install, which is why it's so common for large yards, pet runs, and commercial sites.
Ornamental Aluminum & Steel
When you want the elegant, wrought-iron look — around a front yard, a pool, or a commercial entrance — ornamental aluminum delivers it without the rust and maintenance of real iron. Custom Fence Company installs ornamental aluminum and steel fencing in a range of heights, styles, and colors, tailored to each property.
Why ornamental aluminum
• The classic look, none of the rust.
Aluminum won't corrode the way iron does, so it keeps its finish for decades with almost no upkeep.
• Strong and secure.
Great for defining property lines, securing pools (it meets pool codes), and adding curb appeal.
Ornamental Fencing Questions
Yes. Commercial-grade ornamental aluminum and steel provide a strong, secure perimeter while keeping an open, attractive look. We'll spec the right grade for the job.
No — that's the main reason to choose it over traditional wrought iron. It keeps its powder-coated finish for years with minimal maintenance.
