Since 2008

Built on Trust and Local Know-How

I remember the winter of '07 like it was yesterday. We had freezing rain that brought down half the temporary fencing along the Telegraph Commercial Corridor, leaving construction sites wide open. That's when Jamal Al-Husseini decided Dearborn Heights needed a fencing crew that understood Michigan weather. By spring 2008, we were installing our first chain-link panels with concrete bases near the Caroline Kennedy Library, and we've been solving fence problems here ever since.
  • Our crew carries OSHA 30-Hour cards because we've seen what happens when safety gets overlooked
  • We use wind-resistant mesh after learning the hard way during that November gale in Berwyn
  • Every truck carries interlocking hooks - no more blown-out corners like we faced on Riverside Drive in 2012
You'll find our fences protecting Civic Center projects and tree protection zones in District 7. We don't just drop off materials - our AFA-certified team measures root zones, calculates wind loads, and anchors every panel like it's guarding our own equipment. When that derecho hit last summer? Not one of our steel-based fences toppled. That's the Telegraph difference - built for our neighborhoods, tested by our seasons.

The way we fence comes from the jobs we’ve actually worked in Dearborn Heights.

We started Telegraph Temporary Fencing after a brutal Michigan winter in ’07 tore up temporary fence runs near the Telegraph Road corridor. I remember walking sites the next morning and seeing panels tipped over, bases buried in slush, and access paths blocked where crews still had work to finish. That’s the lesson we’ve carried ever since: a temporary fence has to fit the ground, the weather, and the people moving through it.

  • We plan around the ground, not just the fence line.

    The first thing we look at is what the site’s doing under our boots. In Dearborn Heights, we’ve set panels on thawing shoulders, broken slab edges, and soft turf left after a hard winter. That’s why we lean on zero-trip hazard placement and the right base choice for the surface. A fence that looks straight from the truck still fails if the foot traffic catches a lip or the panels sink by afternoon.

    In Practice

    Near the Telegraph Commercial Corridor, we once reset a run after the morning thaw exposed a low spot. We lifted the section, re-leveled the bases, and kept pedestrians moving cleanly.

  • We build for Michigan weather, not ideal weather.

    Our crew has worked through sideways lake-effect snow, wet spring gusts, and sudden wind that comes ripping across open lots. That’s where wind-load resistance and concrete-steel bases matter. We don’t overcomplicate it; we brace what needs bracing, set the line tight, and keep the fence from walking when the weather turns mean.

    In Practice

    On a cold morning near Crestwood High School, we swapped light supports for heavier bases before the wind picked up. The line stayed put through the rest of the day.

  • We keep access open where people actually move.

    A temporary fence isn’t doing its job if workers, deliveries, and residents have to fight through it. We place temporary gates and wheel-assisted gates where the traffic naturally flows, especially around the District 7 Area and the civic core. That saves time, cuts strain on hinges, and keeps the opening from getting dragged out of shape by constant use.

    In Practice

    We’ve set a gate on the edge of a residential block where trash pickup and contractor traffic kept colliding. Once we moved the swing and added a wheel, the whole route settled down.

  • We match the fence to the job, not the other way around.

    Some sites need plain control, some need visibility, and some need privacy or dust management. We’ve spent enough years around brick bungalows, small commercial lots, and older utility corridors to know the difference. That’s why we use chain-link panels, privacy windscreens, and dust control mesh based on what the site needs that week, not what’s easiest to stock.

    In Practice

    In Central Dearborn Heights, we screened a renovation job beside older homes so the work stayed contained. The neighbors got less dust, and the crew got fewer interruptions.

We keep our work practical, tight, and built for Dearborn Heights conditions, with the same care we’d want on our own jobsite.

Fencing Rebuilt Before the Thaw

After the brutal winter of ’07, high winds and ice heaves toppled dozens of temporary fence panels along the Telegraph Road corridor. Metal posts bent like pretzels, gates hung crooked in slush, and muddy job sites sat exposed near active traffic. Contractors couldn’t secure their sites or pass city inspections, risking project delays and safety violations just as spring build season kicked in.

We mobilized within hours—hauling twisted steel, resetting frozen ground sleeves, and installing reinforced panels rated for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our crew worked through light snow flurries to rebuild over 600 linear feet in two days, using galvanized bases that won’t shift in wet soil. The site passed inspection the next morning, and the general contractor stayed on schedule without penalties.

Telegraph Temp Fence had us back in compliance before the mud dried—no small feat after that winter.

Protecting Homes During Infrastructure Upgrades

Crews upgrading water mains in the District 7 Area left open trenches and equipment scattered across quiet residential blocks lined with 1920s brick bungalows. Without proper barriers, kids on bikes and curious neighbors wandered too close to excavation zones. Residents grew uneasy, and the city required immediate perimeter control to avoid halting the project near Dearborn Heights City Hall.

We installed powder-coated chain-link panels with anti-climb mesh and clearly marked pedestrian walkways, all anchored to withstand gusts off Ford Road. Our team coordinated with utility crews to shift fencing daily as work progressed, keeping sidewalks safe and yards undisturbed. Neighbors even thanked us for how clean and orderly the site looked during a disruptive project.

They treated our neighborhood like it was their own—secure, respectful, and fast.
