Highlights

  • Fair and punctual — handled a challenging yard with no problems
  • Escape-proof fencing — built specifically to contain a determined dog
  • Reasonably priced — pool safety fence finished ahead of schedule
  • 47 years in business — family-run, BBB A+ rated
  • License lapsed — fencing contractor license shown expired since 2024

Fences by Steven F. Panek is a one-man, family-run fencing shop that says it's been building fences around Foxboro since 1982 (BBB's own file dates the business to 1979). Steve and his small crew handle wood, chain link, ornamental metal, vinyl and PVC fencing, along with pool enclosures. The reviews on Google are consistently detailed and positive. In a May 2026 review, a customer called Steven's pricing fair, said he showed up when promised, and that the crew handled a challenging yard with no problems. Others describe the same pattern across different jobs — a February 2026 review credits the crew with a fence built specifically to contain an "escape-artist beagle," a 2025 review names project manager Colin alongside Steven for a smooth planning-to-install process, and 2024 reviews mention a pool safety fence finished early and a vinyl fence completed within a few hours, both called professional and reasonably priced. BBB gives the company an A+ grade. One thing worth confirming directly: BuildZoom shows the company's fencing contractor license (#206016) as expired since July 2024, and separately types the same number as a Home Improvement Contractor registration marked inactive and "at one point cancelled" by the state — the two labels don't quite agree with each other, but neither shows the license currently active. For a straightforward residential fence job, the review history here is strong and consistent across several years; just get a clear answer on current licensing before signing a contract.

    Steven’s been a pleasure to work with. His price was fair, came when he said he would and our new fence looks great. My yard had some challenges but Panek fence handled it with no problems. I definitely recommend these guys, thier honest, do great work, and there’s no bullshit ! 5 stars

    Best referral ever! :) Steve and his crew did an outstanding job installing our fence, exactly what we needed to keep our escape-artist beagle safely in the yard at a very reasonable cost. From the initial planning, meeting with Steven, to the final install, the entire experience was seamless. His crew was efficient, professional, and offered smart suggestions that truly fit our yard. I highly recommend Fences by Steven. Seamless, stress-free installation from start to finish. Thank you!!

    We recently had an our new backyard fence installed by Fences by Steven Panek. We had a fantastic experience from the beginning planning, meeting with Steven and the project manager Colin during the installation. Everyone was efficient, informative and gave us great suggestions that would make the most sense for our yard and family. Our beautiful fence was installed with such care and quality we were so happy with result. Would 100% recommend Panek Fence and team with all fence needs!

    Very prompt for both quoting and installation. I had a pool safety fence installed and Steve's crew was able to do the job a couple of days early. Their work is very professional and cleaned up before leaving. Excellent work and reasonably priced - I would definitely recommend.
