Atlantic Coast Fence Company Inc

Atlantic Coast Fence Company has been selling and installing fencing out of Amesbury for decades — the company's own site says over 53 years, while BBB's file puts its founding in 1960, 66 years and 15 employees; either way, this is a long-established shop, not a startup. BBB gives it an A+ rating despite the business not being accredited. The written record shows real range. At its best, reviewers describe genuinely careful work. In a 2026 review, a homeowner described the crew replacing a long, sloped, rotted-out section of fence and keeping it perfectly level, even clearing brush around it afterward. A 2025 review detailed a cedar fence and arbor installation the customer said enhanced their whole landscaping, and a 2024 review covered a 128-foot guard rail fence on Salisbury Beach that the customer called a fantastic job. Vinyl fencing comes up repeatedly too — one reviewer had Atlantic replace failing stockade sections and called the pricing better than competitors. But the record isn't uniform. A 2026 review warned to "beware" of the company and specifically flagged the manager's professionalism, though without offering specifics. A 2023 review described a rockier experience: a reasonable initial quote followed by poor communication about scheduling once the crew was on site, including a missed start date. And a 2024 review, while ultimately positive about the finished small fence job and the installers themselves, noted having to repeatedly follow up to get the company to show up, and called the price steep for the size of the job. Recent activity is thin and mixed — just two reviews in the last six months, one very positive and one a vague warning — so before booking it's worth pinning down a firm schedule in writing and asking how communication will work once a crew is assigned.
