Dependable Fence Co

Dependable Fence Company is Wayne Uttaro, working out of Somerville. The BBB has it as a sole proprietorship started in January 1996 with a single employee, and that is the most useful thing to know before calling: you are hiring the owner, not a crew. The written record is one review. A customer writing in August 2024 said Wayne quoted over the phone, came out immediately, and staked a loose, rotted post quickly with no problems — calling him one of the best contractors they had worked with. Four Google ratings averaging five stars sit behind that single comment. The company's own site says it installs and repairs wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain-link fences and builds custom gates and guardrails, covering Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut. That is a wide territory for a one-person business, so ask what he actually travels for. The BBB has not issued a rating, saying it lacks sufficient information, and the company is not accredited. Massachusetts exempts fencing-only contractors from home improvement contractor registration, so there is no registration to check here. The right call for a repair or a modest install around Somerville where dealing with the owner directly is what you want. For a larger job, ask about lead time and whether the work gets subcontracted.
