Building Fences for Hudsonville Homes & Businesses
Fence Brothers is a family-owned fence company serving Hudsonville, MI, and the surrounding Ottawa County area from our shop in Kentwood. Since 2013, Alec and Kyle Trierweiler have built fences across West Michigan, backed by 34 years of family experience in the local lumber industry. That experience allows us to install premium cedar and true 2×4 rails at competitive prices without compromising quality.
We handle the Hudsonville fence permit, MISS DIG utility locate, property line review, and HOA paperwork when required. You’ll receive a written estimate on the spot, a crew that arrives when scheduled, and a 5-year workmanship warranty that includes wood.
WHAT WE INSTALL
Fence Installation Services We Offer in Hudsonville
Every wood fence installation Hudsonville homeowners receive from Fence Brothers is built on-site, piece by piece, rather than assembled from pre-fabricated panels. We use true 2×4 rails and 11/16-inch pickets because better materials hold up longer through Michigan winters.
Wood Fence Installation
Cedar, pine, board-on-board, dog-ear, and horizontal styles are our most requested builds in Hudsonville. Our white cedar comes from mills in the Upper Peninsula before being planed in our own shop. Board-on-board fences provide full privacy with no gaps as the wood naturally dries, while dog-ear fences remain a practical, classic option at a fair price.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Low-maintenance privacy that keeps its color through 15 Michigan winters. As a preferred Vecca installer, we install premium Vecca vinyl designed to withstand the West Michigan’s harsh weather. We also install durable Wheatland vinyl. Our vinyl-coated chain link and vinyl privacy fencing both meet Hudsonville’s approved materials list, helping simplify many HOA reviews.
Aluminum Fence Installation
Ornamental aluminum fencing for pool enclosures, front yards, and properties where preserving the view matters. Choose from flat-top, spear-top, or curved-top panels with a powder-coated finish that resists rust, chipping, and repainting. For many pool enclosures, aluminum is the preferred choice.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link backed by a 15-year limited warranty against rust and corrosion. Within Hudsonville city limits, vinyl-coated chain link meets the approved materials list, and we install both, depending on your property’s requirements.
Gate Installation & Operators
Residential swing gates, commercial mechanical gates, and complete access-control systems. We install gate operators in-house, providing a service many West Michigan fence contractors subcontract or don’t offer.
Commercial Fencing
Chain link, aluminum, bollards, and temporary fence rental for job sites, schools, athletic fields, and property managers. Fence Brothers is one of the few contractors in the area that serves both residential and commercial fencing customers.
Your Fence Estimate Takes 10 Minutes. It Is Free.
We come to you, walk the property, and give you a written estimate on the spot. No pressure, no follow-up calls you did not ask for. Our shop is less than five minutes from most Kentwood neighborhoods, so scheduling is fast.

What Hudsonville-Area Customers Say
HOW IT WORKS
Our Fence Installation Process in Cedar Springs
Here’s what to expect once you decide to move forward with a fence project, from that first call to a finished, warrantied fence in the ground.
1
Free On-Site Estimate
Alec or a crew lead walks your property, measures the runs, and gives you a written estimate.
We review property lines, talk through materials, and flag anything — grade changes, root systems, HOA requirements — that affects the build before you commit to anything.
2
Permits, HOA, and MISS DIG
We handle all the paperwork: local zoning permit, HOA application if required, and MISS DIG utility locate.
Both permit and HOA review run at the same time where possible so they do not stack into a longer wait.
3
Installation
Posts go in below the frost line in concrete. The fence goes up piece by piece on-site.
We address grade changes, material specs, and anything flagged during the estimate — no surprises on install day.
4
Final Walkthrough and 5-Year Warranty
We check every gate latch, verify every post is plumb, and hand you the warranty before we leave.
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers post movement, picket separation, and structural issues from installation, including wood fences.

Why Homeowners Choose Fence Brothers
Fence Brothers was founded in 2013 by Alec and Kyle Trierweiler. Backed by 34 years of family experience in the West Michigan lumber industry, we source premium cedar and true 2×4 rails without sacrificing quality to meet a lower price point.
Every fence is built on-site rather than assembled from pre-fabricated panels. Before construction begins, we evaluate your property’s soil conditions, handle the permit application, submit the MISS DIG request, review HOA requirements when applicable, and verify property lines.
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fencing. If a post moves, a picket separates, or a gate falls out of plumb because of our installation, we’ll return and make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Fencing Services, Pricing, and Process.
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Hudsonville, MI?
Yes. Every fence within the City of Hudsonville requires a permit, including short, decorative, and replacement fences. The permit fee is $45, with additional legal or engineering fees if your project requires further review. Applications are submitted through the Planning & Zoning Department at 3275 Central Blvd, and we handle the permit process for every project we install.
How tall can my fence be in Hudsonville?
Front-yard fences are limited to 36 inches (3 feet), while side- and rear-yard fences can be up to 6 feet tall. Fence height is measured from the lowest ground point within 3 feet of the fence, and berms cannot be used to increase the allowable height. Corner lots have additional visibility requirements.
What fence materials are approved in Hudsonville?
Hudsonville permits ornamental metal, vinyl, rot-resistant wood (including cedar), and vinyl-coated chain link fencing. Barbed wire, temporary panels, and plain galvanized chain link are not approved within city limits.
Cedar and vinyl remain two of the most popular choices because they meet local requirements and perform well through Michigan winters.
How much does a Hudsonville fence permit cost?
The permit fee is $45, with possible legal or engineering fees if additional review is required.
Permit filing is included as part of our full-service installation process, so there is no additional charge from us to submit the application.
How deep should fence posts be set in West Michigan?
Michigan Building Code requires fence footings to extend at least 42 inches below finished grade. We meet or exceed that requirement on every installation while evaluating each property for local soil conditions.
Much of Ottawa County contains clay-heavy soil, which expands and contracts during freeze-thaw cycles. We adjust our installation approach based on the conditions at your property.
Which side of the fence has to face my neighbor?
The finished side of the fence must face neighboring properties and the road. For chain link fencing, the finished (knuckled or tied-off) edge must be on top.
This is a Hudsonville code requirement and is checked during inspections.
