Growing bid activity and an expanding project schedule are increasing the company’s commercial fencing workload.
BYRON CENTER, MI — Executive Fence & Gate is expanding its commercial fence installation services as the company receives more commercial inquiries, wins additional bids and moves a growing number of projects into active installation. The Byron Center contractor is handling phased work and projects that combine multiple fence types, gates and security features under one scope.
The increase follows the company’s January 2026 launch. To support its growing workload, the contractor maintains warehouse space for storing materials, a forklift for unloading and staging, and multiple trucks with flatbed trailers. It also receives bulk material deliveries from Stephens Pipe & Steel for larger and phased commercial projects.
Commercial fencing often affects more than a property boundary. Layout decisions can influence vehicle entrances, pedestrian access, delivery routes, equipment protection, restricted areas and the ability of a property to remain operational during installation.
“Commercial fencing has to be planned around what the property is protecting and how people, vehicles and equipment move through the site,” said Tyler Johnson, managing partner at Executive Fence & Gate. “Gate openings, grade, security requirements and daily traffic can all change the layout. Those conditions need to be addressed before crews begin setting posts.”
A recently completed project for United Rentals in Charlotte, Michigan, demonstrates the type of coordinated commercial scope the company is handling. The chain-link fence installation included barbed wire for additional perimeter security, a manual gate and a large motorized gate.
Phased or multi-component projects may require different materials, security features or points of entry across separate installation areas. Scheduling may also need to account for business hours, deliveries, other trades and continued access to the property. The company coordinates those considerations as part of the overall fence-and-gate scope.
Its commercial work includes chain-link perimeter fencing, aluminum and steel systems, privacy fencing, equipment and utility enclosures, fence replacement and custom gates. Repairs are available, although the company remains primarily focused on new installations, replacements and broader fence-and-gate projects.
The contractor has also been involved with fencing coordination at Holland High School’s varsity athletic field. The project represents one part of its institutional workload, which can require planning around active campuses, athletic schedules, construction activity and public access.
Johnson continues to estimate projects and supervise field execution. Mike Hoffman supports commercial sales and client coordination, while Mike Eaton oversees the operational details required to move awarded work into the installation schedule. All three partners remain directly involved in commercial projects through estimating, field coordination and operational oversight.
“Winning a commercial bid is only the beginning,” said Eaton, managing partner at Executive Fence & Gate. “The project still has to be scheduled around deliveries, other trades, property access and ongoing operations. As commercial activity has increased, the partners have remained directly involved in field coordination and project oversight.”
The company is bonded and insured, is a member of the American Fence Association and is a Stephens Pipe & Steel partner. From its Byron Center location, it serves commercial properties and project teams throughout Grand Rapids and West Michigan.
