NORTH TEXAS' PROFESSIONAL FENCING SOLUTIONS

Mike builds fences because he wants to—not because he has to. In an industry where many companies rely on subcontracted labor and rotating crews, Mike has proudly built every fence himself for years. While some contractors focus on volume, Mike builds custom wood privacy, chain-link, and wrought iron fences because he genuinely enjoys the craftsmanship and takes pride in serving homeowners throughout North Texas. Every project reflects his commitment to quality, honesty, and building a fence that will stand the test of time.

At Mike Downs Fencing, we specialize in building quality fences for homeowners throughout North Texas. Since 2002, I've focused on doing one thing exceptionally well—building fences that are made to last. Most of the projects I build are custom wood privacy fences, but I also install ornamental wrought iron, chain-link fencing, farm and ranch fencing, pool fencing, automatic gates, and more. Every fence is constructed with high-quality materials, utilizing proven installation methods, and meticulous attention to detail. While longtime customers occasionally ask me to build a deck or arbor because they trust my workmanship, fencing has always been my specialty. For more than 25 years, I've believed it's better to focus on what you do best—and that's exactly what I've done.

What values have built Mike Downs Fencing?

Mike Downs' commitment to his good name has shaped his entire business. The reputation of his grandfather, Wayne Carr, was the foundation of the family's success in the fencing industry. Everyone knew Wayne as a good, kind, generous, and honest man—even his competitors. That reputation earned trust throughout the community and set a standard that Mike has worked hard to uphold. When Mike started Mike Downs Fencing, he proudly put his own name on the company because he believes a good name is one of the most valuable things a person can have. Today, Mike continues to value his reputation more than profit. He would rather lose money on a job than compromise his integrity or damage the trust he has earned from homeowners in Sherman and throughout North Texas.

FENCE QUESTIONS?
WE'VE GOT THE ANSWERS!

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN INSTALLING FENCES?  
  •    I've been installing fences for more than 25 years. During that time, I've built hundreds of fences across North Texas, giving me the experience to build every project with quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and methods that are proven to last.

WHAT SETS MIKE DOWNS FENCING APART FROM OTHER FENCE COMPANIES?
  • What sets me apart is simple—I personally build every fence myself, so you'll never have to wonder who's showing up at your home. I've been building fences for more than 25 years, and I use quality materials and proven installation methods to build every fence the right way.  

WHY DON'T I SUBCONTRACT LABOR?
  • Subcontracted labor is often used as a cost-saving measure by companies that don't want to hire full-time employees. In some cases, subcontractors may be uninsured or not properly vetted, which can create unnecessary risks for both the contractor and the homeowner. Because subcontractors are typically paid by the job, they may have less incentive to focus on quality, attention to detail, or customer satisfaction if they aren't closely supervised. The result can be rushed work, cut corners, unfinished cleanup, and a lack of the personal care that comes from someone who takes pride in every project.​

​WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A FENCE COMPANY?
  • Choosing the right fence company is one of the most important decisions you'll make when investing in a new fence. Look for a contractor with a proven track record, verified customer reviews, quality materials, proper installation methods, clear communication, and a strong workmanship warranty—because the quality of the installation has just as much impact on the life of your fence as the materials themselves.​

HOW LONG SHOULD MY NEW  CEDAR FENCE LAST?
  • A properly built Western Red Cedar fence can last 20 to 30 years or more when it's installed correctly and maintained over time. The biggest factors are quality materials, proper post installation, drainage, and regular staining or sealing. When I build a fence, I use proven installation methods designed to help it last as long as possible in North Texas conditions.

WHY DO SOME FENCES FAIL OVER TIME?
  • Most fence problems don't start with the wood—they start with poor installation. Shallow posts, weak concrete, and contractors cutting corners often lead to leaning fences, loose posts, and sagging gates long before they should. That's why I build every fence using proven installation methods designed to stand up to North Texas weather and soil conditions.
