Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, inferior-quality fence materials available that will only last for a while. We don't use them. There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of their so-called warranty.

Fences must stand up to Southeastern Massachusetts high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from animals, kids, gardeners, and neighbors. Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

We understand that homeowners in Southeastern Massachusetts want a great fence and want to get it quickly! Generally, it only takes a few days maximum for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Southeastern Massachusetts, walk your property, and give you a detailed estimate of your entire residential fence project.

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install residential fences in most of Southeastern Massachusetts within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office about your specific project. At times throughout the year, that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.

Other things can delay the start of a fencing project. If you choose custom fence material, style, color, or add-ons that must be specially ordered, your fence installation will often be delayed. These materials come from various manufacturers, and shipping and delivery times are beyond our control. We will help you identify, in advance, any of your choices that are likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

DIY Fence Estimate

If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:

  • If you know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine; there is no need to be too precise.
  • Be sure to subtract the length of any structures, like a house, a barn, or a shed, that will serve as part of the barrier. This will give you a rough estimate of how much fencing you need.
  • For even greater accuracy, subtract the length of any gates you will be using. Often, gates are priced much differently than fencing. For this reason, we recommend that property owners looking to develop their fence estimate list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approximately 4 feet wide, and a standard single driveway gate is closer to 10 feet wide.

Caution!

Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!

If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Southeastern Massachusetts area use!

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes residential fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many residential fences in almost every possible area across Southeastern Massachusetts so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.

The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to call your town building code office.

There is no bad time of year to get a residential fence in Southeastern Massachusetts. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across Southeastern Massachusetts all year!

There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our fence team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like! We always have room for one more fence!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea.

From there, we will schedule an appointment to walk your property, take measurements, and check for obstructions and anything else that would impact the installation of your fence.

Fencing is one of the most accessible industries for start-up businesses and novice laborers to get into. For these people looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences, a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.

As a result, there are many individuals or companies who show up in Southeastern Massachusetts, install residential fences for a short time, and then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in Southeastern Massachusetts.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

  1. The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
    If the individual or company that installed your residential fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about residential fencing or what is best for you and your property.

  3. Your Property May be at Risk
    Installing residential fences in the Southeastern Massachusetts area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

    Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

Aluminum Fence FAQs

Yes! We are a leading aluminum fencing contractor across the entire Southeastern Massachusetts area.

Our crews are specially trained in the latest aluminum fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Southeastern Massachusetts.

Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Southeastern Massachusetts region. Aluminum fences are strong yet lightweight; with their durable protective coating, aluminum fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of Southeastern Massachusetts.

Other fence materials are less expensive initially, but aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time, aluminum fencing is a less expensive fencing material, saving time and money when compared to many other alternatives because aluminum fences do not need to be painted or sealed.

If a maintenance-free elegant fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.

Aluminum fences are very durable! Don't let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business while standing strong in the face of the Southeastern Massachusetts weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more is usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.

It should be mentioned, however, that some discount fencing contractors in Southeastern Massachusetts are known to undercut prices by using lower-quality aluminum fencing, which absolutely does not hold up well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!

Prices on aluminum fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.

We provide aluminum fencing quotes for free! E-mail us or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality aluminum fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will bend, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.

Many small fence companies in Southeastern Massachusetts install aluminum fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your aluminum fence.

Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

  1. The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
    If the individual or company that installed your aluminum fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.

PVC-coated chain link fencing, also called vinyl-coated chain link fencing, is that beautiful, colored coating that can be added to chain link fencing. More than a simple color choice, vinyl coating your chain link fence increases the rust and corrosion resistance of the fence and extends the life of your chain link fence.

Colored vinyl coatings added to chain link fences are popular in the Southeastern Massachusetts area. These PVC coatings are applied at the factory for maximum quality and protection. Because they create a smooth finish, they are frequently used for athletic fields, pool areas, and other places where children are commonly found.

Adding a tension wire to the bottom of a chain link fence creates more security by preventing the fence from being pushed out by children or animals. If a tension wire is insufficient, installing a bottom rail will create an even stronger barrier than a tension wire.

Chain link fencing is uniquely suited for a variety of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular uses of chain link fencing:

  • Chain Link Fencing for Athletic Areas
    Athletic areas, children's parks, and playgrounds almost exclusively use chain link fencing.

If securing your property is your primary objection, chain link fencing may be your perfect solution.

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes chain link fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many chain link fences in almost every possible area across Southeastern Massachusetts so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.

Wood Fence FAQs

Yes! We are a leading custom wood fencing contractor across the entire Southeastern Massachusetts area.

Our crews are specially trained in the latest wood fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Southeastern Massachusetts.

Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of wood fencing is usually lower than other types of fencing. Over time, wood fencing requires regular maintenance, including sealing, staining, or painting, so remember to consider these expenses when calculating the price of your wood fence.

Prices on wood fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.

We provide wood fencing quotes for free! E-mail us or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality wood fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will often warp, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.

Wood fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Southeastern Massachusetts weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

Wood fences typically have no warranty on materials, but they usually have a workmanship warranty.

However, there are specific options you can choose that may come with warranties, even on the materials! Speak with one of our fence experts to learn the details of the wood fence options you are considering.

Whether you need a residential wood fence or a commercial-grade wood fence, it generally only takes a few days maximum for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Southeastern Massachusetts, walk your property, and give you a detailed estimate of your wood fence project.

You can certainly call us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install wood fences in most of Southeastern Massachusetts within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office about your specific project. At times throughout the year, that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.

Other things can delay the start of a fencing project. If you choose custom wood fence material, style, color, or options that must be specially ordered, your fence installation will often be delayed. Like nearly every fencing contractor in the Southeastern Massachusetts, we do not stock a large amount of custom wood fencing options. These materials come from various manufacturers, and shipping and delivery times are beyond our control. We will help you identify, in advance, any of your choices that are likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

Many small fence companies in Southeastern Massachusetts install wood fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for wood fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your wood fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your wood fence.

Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the wood fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

  1. The Wood Fence Warranty is Void
    If the individual or company that installed your wood fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best wood fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install wood fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about wood fencing or what is best for you and your property.

  3. Your Property May be at Risk
    Installing wood fences in the Southeastern Massachusetts area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

    Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your wood fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
