Barnstable Fence Co.

Barnstable Fence Co. builds fences on Cape Cod out of a shop on Osterville West Barnstable Road, and it covers the whole range — vinyl, wood, ornamental and chain link — plus the less common jobs: arbors, swimming pool enclosures, tennis court fencing, dog kennels, guard rails and gate operators. The company calls itself family-operated and says it has served the Mid Cape area since 1979, which it puts at 47 years in business. Its Better Business Bureau profile names Paul Candito as owner and lists the business as established in 1993. Either way, the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ letter grade. On Google it holds five stars from one rating, and its Houzz profile shows one project. For a Cape homeowner who wants a straightforward privacy or chain-link run, or something more particular like a pool enclosure or an operated gate, this is a reasonable company to call. Ask for a written scope naming the fence style, the gate hardware and the property line you are building to, get a certificate of insurance, and ask for a couple of recent local references before the crew starts setting posts.
