Our story
Fence Brothers is exactly what the name says: brothers Alec and Kyle Trierweiler started the company in Kentwood in 2013, and it grew out of two different backgrounds that turned out to work well together.
Their father spent more than three decades in the West Michigan lumber industry — a background that still shapes how the company selects materials and builds fences meant to withstand Michigan winters.
Two backgrounds, one standard
Kyle runs the field. He leads the installation crews and manages day-to-day field operations, materials, the lumberyard, and job-site execution from start to finish. He knows the difference between a fence that looks right on install day and one that still looks right five years later — he builds to the latter standard.
Alec spent several years in finance at Capital One before joining the business full-time. That background shows up in how Fence Brothers operates: organized scheduling, clear communication, accurate estimates, and projects that finish on time.
What we build
For every project, they handle permits and Miss Dig coordination. Homeowners and property managers do not need to figure that out on their own.
- Wood fencing is the core: cedar, pine, and mixed materials — board-on-board, shadowbox, split rail, spaced pickets, driveway gates, built piece by piece.
- Vinyl, aluminum, and chain link, plus ranch-style fencing and gate operators — one of the few contractors in West Michigan that installs gate operators.
- Commercial work smaller contractors pass on: aluminum for athletic facilities, security chain link, temporary fencing rental, and bollard installations.
The people behind the work
Alec Trierweiler
Before fencing, Alec spent several years in finance at Capital One. He brought that experience into the business: systems, scheduling, estimates, and client communication. His focus is simple — every customer should know exactly what to expect, and Fence Brothers should deliver on it.
Kyle Trierweiler
Before fencing, Kyle worked as a chef. He stepped away to spend more time with family and build something of his own. Kyle leads the installation crews and manages day-to-day field operations — materials, the lumberyard, and job-site execution from start to finish.
