What does our fence company do?
Most calls fall into one of four jobs. Whichever yours is, it starts with a look at the fence line, the ground and what you need the fence to do.
New fence installation
Privacy fences, boundary fences and fences that keep kids and dogs in the yard. Tell us the height, style and material you have in mind, and we'll confirm the options and the layout during your estimate.
Fence repair
Leaning or rotted posts, broken boards, pickets and panels, loose rails and sections damaged by wind, snow or a fallen limb.
Gate repair and new gates
Sagging gates, latches that don't line up, broken hinges and new gates added to an existing fence.
Fence replacement and removal
The old fence is taken down, posts are pulled and everything is hauled away before the new fence goes in. If you only need an old fence gone, that's part of our junk removal work too.
Should you repair or replace your fence?
A repair makes sense when the problem is limited: a few posts, a couple of sections or one gate, with the rest of the fence still straight and solid.
Replacement is usually the better spend when many posts are soft or rotted at ground level, long runs lean in the same direction, you're repairing the same sections every year, or you want a different height or material. During the estimate we look at the posts first, because a fence is only as straight as what holds it up, and we tell you which option fits.
Which fence is best for your yard?
The best fence is the one that matches the job you need it to do. Start with the purpose, then the upkeep you're willing to take on:
| What you need | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Privacy | Solid panels or boards with no gaps, at the height your city allows |
| Kids and pets | Openings too small to squeeze through and a self-latching gate |
| Marking a boundary | An open style, like picket or chain link, that doesn't block light |
| Low maintenance | Vinyl needs washing, not painting; wood needs stain or sealer every few years |
| Lowest upfront cost | Chain link is typically the most economical per foot |
Not sure? Bring photos of the yard and a rough measurement of the fence line, and we'll talk through the options with you.
What should you know before a new fence goes in?
- Your property line. A fence goes where you show us. The line itself comes from your deed, your plot plan or a licensed land surveyor, so settle it before the posts go in, especially next to a neighbor.
- Permits and local rules. Ask your city's building department whether your fence needs a permit. Rules usually depend on height and where the fence sits on the lot.
- Underground lines. Massachusetts law requires a call to Dig Safe at 811 at least 72 hours before digging, not counting weekends and holidays. Replacing posts in the same holes is exempt from the pre-marking step.
- What's in the way. Overgrown brush, roots and trees along the fence line need to be cleared first. Our tree removal and yard cleanup crews handle that before installation.

What affects the cost of a fence?
Fence work is usually figured by the foot, adjusted for what makes the job easier or harder:
- Length and height of the fence line.
- Material and style , from chain link to solid privacy panels.
- Gates , which take more hardware and setup than a straight run.
- Ground conditions , such as slopes, ledge, rocks and roots.
- Removal of an existing fence and its posts.

Fence Company FAQ
How much do fence companies charge per foot?
It depends on the material, height, number of gates and ground conditions. We measure the fence line during a free estimate and give you the full price before any work starts.
Do fence companies find property lines?
No. The property line comes from your deed, plot plan or a licensed land surveyor. We install along the line you confirm, so settle it with your neighbor before the posts go in.
Do fence companies pull permits?
Permit rules vary by city and usually depend on fence height and location. Check with your building department first, and we'll schedule the installation around any approval you need.
Do fence companies work in the winter?
Often, yes. Repairs and gate work happen year-round. New posts need ground that can be dug, so deep frost can push an installation back a few days.
Which fence is the cheapest?
Chain link is typically the most economical per foot. Wood usually comes next, and vinyl costs more upfront but needs less upkeep over the years.
Do fence companies remove trees?
We do. Tree removal is one of WA's services, so a tree or overgrown brush in the way of a new fence line can be cleared before installation.
