Fence 101 LLC

Fence 101 is a Westborough outfit run by Fabio, and the thing that turns up again and again across a wide, mostly-recent review history is speed: people describe getting a quote within hours of reaching out and a start date that actually holds. The crew installs and repairs vinyl, aluminum, chain link, wood stockade and iron fencing and gates, working across the MetroWest area and into the Boston 'Boroughs. On Google, 102 ratings average 4.8★, and the Better Business Bureau has carried an A+ grade since the company became accredited in January 2021 — a track record that runs steadily from 2021 through this summer. The specifics reviewers keep returning to: crews that finish awkward lots in a day or two (tree stumps, tight yards) without drama, tight quotes that hold once the work starts, and cleanup that leaves the yard looking better than before. A handful of customers describe hiring Fence 101 a second time — one had a chain-link fence replaced with vinyl four years after the original install, another called on the crew again for a second job entirely — and got the same responsive service both times. One customer solicited six separate bids and picked Fence 101 anyway, drawn in by the on-site consultation rather than price alone. Two recent reviews are worth asking about directly. In July 2026, a customer said Fence 101 took a 50% deposit for a repair, never showed up to do the work, and stopped responding to calls and emails about a refund. That same month, another customer described Fabio going unresponsive when they tried to get help relocating an existing Fence101 fence for an unrelated project. A similar complaint shows up further back — in a 2023 review, a customer said they got a vague, detail-free contract from a different contact at the company and no follow-up when they asked for specifics. None of these outweigh the volume of positive, detailed reviews on file, but they're specific enough to raise before paying anything upfront: get a written timeline and clear terms on any deposit. Separately, a July 2026 review about a municipal park fence project flagged the crew spray-painting a fence while children were nearby — worth a question if the job involves a public or shared space. An older, 2022 comment claiming the business had "shut down" doesn't hold up against the reviews posted every year since, including this year — it reads like stale rumor rather than anything current. For a standard install or repair, Fence 101's long, mostly positive record and the speed people describe make it a solid regional call; given the two recent deposit and follow-up complaints, put the payment and timeline terms in writing before signing.
