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 Middleborough MA 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.

Do wood fences have a warranty?

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.

How long will it take to get my wood fence installed?

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 Middleborough MA, 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 Middleborough MA 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 Middleborough MA, 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.

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!

Wood 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 Middleborough MA area use!

What are some of the most popular applications of wood fencing in Middleborough MA?

Wood fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of wood fencing:

Decorative Wood Fencing
Many decorative styles of wood fencing are perfect for showcasing areas of a property or sectioning off a portion of your yard. Wood rail fences and wood picket fences are two of the most common decorative styles of wood fencing.
Wood Privacy Fencing
Wood fencing is an excellent option when you are looking for a privacy fence. Available in many styles, easily customizable, and able to be painted or stained in a variety of colors, it is a versatile, attractive option suitable for both residential and commercial properties.
Wood Perimeter Fencing
Wood fencing is the staple of privacy fences. Popular across Middleborough MA, a 6-foot dogear wood privacy fence is likely the single-most requested fence we install.

Do I need a permit to get a wood fence installed in Middleborough MA?

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes wood 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 wood fences in almost every possible area across Middleborough MA 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.

What time of year is the best to install a wood fence in Middleborough MA?

There is no bad time of year to get an wood fence in Middleborough MA. As professional fencing contractors, we build wood fences across Middleborough MA 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!

Do I need a survey done before installing a 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. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Why does it matter if I use a professional fence contractor for my wood fence?

Many small fence companies in Middleborough MA 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:

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.
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.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing wood fences in the Middleborough MA 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!
