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.

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.

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!

Commercial Fence FAQs

Prices depend on the material you choose and the exact style you order. We provide 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 commercial 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.

Commercial 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 businesses 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 commercial fence experts to get to most areas of Southeastern Massachusetts, walk your property, and give you a detailed estimate of your entire commercial fence project.

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install commercial 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 commercial 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.

Make it Easy on Yourself!

Don't stress yourself! Our commercial fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all necessary measurements! We are a full-service fence company that specializes in commercial fence installation. You do not need to work hard to get a great new fence.

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 commercial fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Southeastern Massachusetts area use!

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.

  • Chain Link Security 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.
