| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Worcester's classic 6-ft cedar privacy fence, built for stony hill lots and deep New England frost. Pressure-treated posts set in concrete below the heave zone, cedar or treated-pine pickets, board-on-board or side-by-side. We tell you honestly when cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that handles nor'easters, road salt and Central Massachusetts freeze-thaw winters. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and concrete-set footings, with no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it doesn't. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, driveways, pets and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in Worcester: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners that stay tight through frost, with privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and historic homes. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation on Worcester's sloping lots: the premium look that actually holds up to winter salt and heavy snow. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and snow-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After a nor'easter, an ice storm or a summer thunderstorm, we rebuild fallen sections fast: same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Worcester's deep frost and freeze-thaw heave posts, and wet spring ground rots them at the ground line, the reason most fences lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of gates that drag or bind after frost heave or a winter of plowed snowbanks, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, with layouts that keep tracks and swing paths clear of plowed snow, plus solar-powered options for hilltop properties without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers for Worcester-area backyards, built to the pool barrier code that applies at your address. Self-closing, self-latching gates and posts set deep so the latch still lines up after winter, and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that's all you need. We reuse what's sound, replace what isn't, and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood through Worcester's snowy winters, wet springs and humid summers, and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing, temporary construction fence and silt fence for jobsites across Worcester and Central Massachusetts. Fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, GCs and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for acreage across Central Massachusetts. We cover Worcester County and the hill towns to the north and west with straight lines over rocky runs, braced corners set deep for frost and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
