DeLucca Fence Company, Inc.

Most of what DeLucca Fence builds never goes near a backyard. The Methuen company installs highway guardrail — steel, steel-back timber, bridge rail, cable — along with large-scale commercial fence, working mainly on Massachusetts and New Hampshire DOT jobs and other commercial contracts. It has been at it a long time. The company says it has worked as a guardrail contractor in Massachusetts and New Hampshire since 1956, and its BBB profile puts the business start at 1957 with 69 years on the books. DeLucca also says it is certified as a Women Owned Business and a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island — the kind of credential that matters on public bids. Its public reputation is thin, which is what you'd expect from a contractor whose customers are state agencies and general contractors rather than homeowners. Google shows 3.9 stars across seven ratings. The BBB page carries no rating and no accreditation; the bureau states it does not have enough information to issue one. Neither number tells you much on its own. The thing worth sorting out first is fit. If you are pricing a fence for a house, this is probably not the shop — its stated work is guardrail and commercial-scale fence. If you are a general contractor or a public agency, the length of the run and the WBE/DBE certifications are the concrete things to check. Ask for references on jobs like yours, and confirm those certifications directly with the certifying state, since DeLucca's own site is where they appear.
