This past fall I had 140 feet of post and rail fencing with wire screening installed on my property by Arrow Fence Company. The price compared well with other estimates and, more importantly, they did an excellent installation job in one day.

My neighbor installs fences professionally. Although I have never had the need to use his services, the fencing he placed around his own home is very attractive and blends perfectly with the surroundings. His name is Bob O'Brien of Flatley Fence. I'm sure he can give you references that could answer all of your questions.

Best fence guy around is Bob O'Brien over here on Parmenter.

I used Bob O'Brien of Flatley Fence. He worked hard to design a beautiful fence that provides much privacy for us and is lovely to look at.

I couldn't agree more. We had vinyl fencing installed by E&D as well. They did a great job...the quality of the product is better than what Lowe's or Home Depot push on you. These guys worked very hard, digging out *huge* rocks where the fence posts had to go. I would definitely use them again.

I made a request similar to this about 16 months ago and E&D Fence out of Ashland was overwhelmingly recommended. We had estimates from several companies including the big box retailers and the other major fence companies and E&D by far had the best pricing and over all customer service with quick response times and lead times once we went under contract. We had a rather large area fenced and they did most of it (except the gates because the concrete needed to cure) in one day. They left the yard spotless once done as well and even left us with a little bottle of black paint in case our gate brackets ever needed a touch up. Here are some pictures from the install:

Lowes
I just had 57' of vinyl installed by Lowe's. The wood cedar was 56.00 for an 8' section and the vinyl was 50.00 for a 6' section. The vinyl ended costing roughly 200.00 more but it's very much worth it in my opinion. Lowe's wasn't the best as far as customer service but the installation itself was done nicely. There was allot of hold time on the phone and etc but in the end things turned out well. I'd go with the vinyl. I looks much better and you'll never touch it again......

Reliable Fence Company
We found Reliable Fence to be rude,not helpful and expensive and ended up using a Bob O'Brien of Framingham who did a great job and really cared about the job:

I would stay far away from Reliable. My wife has a fence put up by them 10 years ago. This was a privacy fence with 3/4" between slats. Last year a tree took down 3 sections so we called them. They were a little more than other companies but since they put up the original we went with them. They came while we were at work and when we got home we found out they put up an open fance with 1.5" between slats. We called the salesperson who was no help. After several calls we finally got the owner who basically told me to go to hell. I can not think of a worse company I have ever dealt with.
