Founder and owner Frank Rakes spent most of his young adult life building fences. After many years of learning the ins and outs and honing his skills, he discovered that it was a completely achievable goal to deliver higher quality fences for lower prices.
Frank knew that if a company ordered their materials in bulk and wholesale, and built each fence from the ground up, he could offer products that look amazing, hold up for the long-term in all seasons, and at a significantly lower cost to the customer.Frank's Fences purchases fencing materials in bulk and down to the sticks, and they save a lot doing so.

I scheduled an appointment for a fence quote after seeing so many positive reviews for Frank's Fences on Next-door website. I called late on a Friday afternoon & I was pleasantly surprised when Frank answered. We scheduled an appointment for the following Tuesday afternoon w/ Frank committing to place a reminder call in advance of the scheduled appointment.
Tuesday arrived but I didn't get the promised phone call BUT Frank did show up & we discussed what I wanted. Told him I wanted either chain link or aluminum after he tore out my existing wood fence. He got an aluminum fencing

The next door neighbor and I used Franks. I had an aluminum black gate and small run of fence installed. The team was quick and friendly. When we ordered told me 3-4 weeks to get the material and install. And guess what? Was 3 weeks and he installed in a couple hours on Saturday. Gate looks good and now the dog can't escape!! Thanks Frank!

Frank's Fences is the best! Had a gate and small section of fence replaced, which had to be custom built. Frank was communicative throughout the entire process and came to install as soon as the gate was finished. Very professional, great workmanship, fair pricing! I think the pictures speak for themselves!

Frank was personable, fair, and did an excellent job. I had three fence posts that required to be excavated from concrete and reset, and then the fence had to be put back together once the new concrete was poured. He worked with ACG Concrete Inc. to complete the job. I would hire him again and I recommend him.

Frank put up a beautiful fence at my house in less than a day. Hauled away the old fence and even consulted us on how to install the fence so it look the best. His price was less than half of the other big fence companies or big box store installers. Plus he made the boards himself, and didn't buy the pre-fab ones from the hardware store.
Communication was a breeze. Set everything up via text and now we have a great fence. He even replaced my neighbors broken fence on the fly, on the same day. Everything was done by the time I got home from work.
Finally, he left extra planks in case we

I spoke with and texted with Frank over the past week desperately wanting someone to install a fence for our new home. At first, he seemed happy to do the job. Said several times he'd come and take a look. Suggested different options for us - yet, frank never showed up. In fact, frank stopped returning my phone calls and texts. Hmm. You seem a bit sketchy, frank.

Frank and his crew did a beautiful, custom privacy fence for me. They were such a polite and great team to work with. Their craftsmanship was top notch. I have gotten so many compliments. Frank has stood by his work and has offered to check on the fence whenever I have a concern or to just inspect it for any maintenance it may need. It's been 3 years and it's still beautiful.

Reviews say when he puts up a fence, it's great and affordable. But if you call and he doesn't return phone calls; or when you talk to him he seems uninterested in your job because it's a small front yard fence; or when you make two appointments and he fails to show-then he's not great. I do not recommend calling him unless you live nearby in Livonia maybe or have a huge outdoor project for him in the Detroit area. But don't bother if it's small or outside Detroit. Or maybe he's too busy that he doesn't need to return calls or keep appointments.
