Fences and sheds for Ypsilanti homeowners
Ypsilanti is home to Eastern Michigan University and sits right next to Ann Arbor in Washtenaw County, with a good mix of historic homes and newer development. We build here regularly, and our online quote tools are set up to handle both, a tight lot near a historic block or a bigger yard in a newer subdivision.

Start with whichever project you have in mind. Both tools give you a real number in a couple of minutes.
A college town with a lot of housing variety
Between Eastern Michigan University, older neighborhoods built decades ago, and newer development on the edges of town, Ypsilanti covers a wide range of property types, and a wide range of fence and shed needs to go with them. We do not treat any of it as a template. Your quote is built off your actual property, whether that is a small backyard close to campus or a larger lot further out.

"Brandon and team did a phenomenal job on our fence install. We went with a black vinyl chain link fence and the finished product exceeded expectations."
