Fence removal Services in Detroit, Michigan

Fence removal in Detroit requires more than just pulling down panels and leaving debris scattered across your yard. Whether your property is in Corktown, Midtown, or the neighborhoods near Belle Isle Park, our experienced crew at Dtownjunkremovals removes fences completely-including all posts, concrete footings, nails, and wire-and hauls everything away. We service residential properties throughout Wayne County and beyond, from historic homes in Grosse Pointe to new subdivisions in Canton and Plymouth.

Our fence removal process starts with a site assessment to determine fence materials, depth of posts, and any underground obstacles like utility lines. We extract posts using specialized equipment, break down fence sections into manageable pieces, load debris into our trucks, and grade the area if needed. Most standard residential fences come down within one full day of work, with complete site cleanup included. We obtain any required permits and coordinate with local utility locating services to ensure safe removal without damaging gas, electric, or water lines running through Detroit neighborhoods.

Complete Fence Removal Project in Corktown, Detroit

In spring 2024, we removed a 240-linear-foot wooden privacy fence from a 0.35-acre property in Corktown near Michigan Avenue. The fence included solid cedar panels and 4x4 posts set in concrete footings across uneven terrain. Our crew completed full disassembly, post extraction, concrete removal, and site cleanup in exactly 2 days, hauling away 12 tons of mixed lumber and concrete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fence removal cost in Detroit?

Residential fence removal typically costs $800-$2,500 depending on fence length, materials (wood costs less to remove than vinyl or metal), and post depth. We provide free on-site quotes at (313)514-1979. Commercial or industrial fences run $2,500-$8,000+.

How long does fence removal take?

Most residential fences come down in 1-2 days of active work. A 100-200 linear foot fence typically requires 1 full day. If permits are needed in Detroit, add 2-3 business days for city approval before work begins.

Do you handle permits and utility location?

Yes, we coordinate with Michigan One Call for free utility locating and handle fence removal permits through the City of Detroit or local municipalities. This is included in our service, not an extra charge.

What happens to the debris after you remove the fence?

We haul all fence materials, posts, concrete, and nails away in our trucks. Wood is recycled or properly disposed of, and concrete goes to licensed processors. Your property is left clean with no debris remaining.

Do you offer any warranty on fence removal work?

We guarantee complete removal and cleanup. If any fence materials remain or issues arise within 30 days of project completion, we return at no charge to correct them.

Can you remove fences in winter or bad weather?

We work year-round in Detroit, though frozen ground may require extra time to extract posts. Heavy snow delays projects 1-2 days. We assess weather conditions during your free estimate and advise on best timing.
