In a 2022 review, a homeowner with a steep backyard wrote that most contractors were wary of setting posts on that slope, and that they had already sat through no-shows and bids full of compromises before they called Joe at Fortress Fence. Awkward yards come up more than once. A customer writing in April 2023 said their lot was neither level nor a simple shape and credited Joe with working the layout out with them. In September 2024 another described him coming out repeatedly to plan a fence around a pool that was going in at the same time, then reshuffling the install when the pool company kept moving its dates. What gets installed is mostly vinyl and aluminum. One April 2023 customer swapped a wood privacy fence for six-foot vinyl and said Fortress came in best on price and could start almost immediately; another that month fenced a Wakefield yard in white vinyl for the dog; a June 2023 customer got an aluminum fence in fast. Angi lists chain link, aluminum or steel and wood fence installation. The company says it is locally owned, has been at this 15 years, works within about 30 miles of Salem, New Hampshire, and also builds playgrounds, basketball hoops, decks and custom mailboxes. The written accounts are dated: they run from two 2020 Angi reviews naming Joey to that September 2024 pool-fence job, and the Google average is 4.4 across seven ratings. For a fence on a lot that other companies have hedged about — a slope, an odd shape, another trade already booked — Joe is the one who comes out. Ask how the posts will be set on the grade, and fix the start date in writing if another contractor is working the same yard.
Fortress Fence assisted us in transforming our backyard into a summer oasis. Joe came out numerous times to discuss my vision with the fence and a pool I was installing. We developed an install schedule around the pool install , unfortunately several times the pool company changed the schedule and Joe accommodated us every time. In fact, I wanted the majority of the fence completed prior to the pool install to minimize the disruption for the pool installer, as well for safety once the pool was installed. Joe had no issues whatsoever with my start stop approach. He was instrumental in assisting me with the cleans lines i was looking for with the pool, a pool house and the fence. Once the pool was installed, Joe had to make changes to the layout to maintain my vision, he adapted, offered solutions and made it happen. He even waited for the final piece to go in, the pool house, to custom build a gate onsite to hide the pool equipment. Would highly recommend Fortress if your in the market for a fence. They were flexible, accommodating, professional and even during others delays Joe would check-in weekly on our progress and if he could assist at all. Immensely cares about the finish product and assuring the customer is completely satisfied with the install. Thank you Joe and your team for a great install!
Joe and his crew killed it on my fence. They were fast, professional, and my new aluminum fence is beautiful. Honestly, couldn't be happier.
I had a wonderful experience with Fortress Fence, a fence installation company that recently installed a new fence in my backyard. My yard is not level and has a unique shape, so when I first reached out to them, I was unsure about what the layout should be. However, the owner, Joe, was incredibly helpful in determining the best design for my backyard. His team was professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous, and they worked efficiently to get the job done quickly, in just a few days. Fortress Fence also had to remove a couple of trees and brush to complete the installation, which they did with care and precision. The finished fence looks fantastic and has exceeded my expectations. I'm so pleased with the results and would highly recommend Fortress Fence to anyone in need of fence installation. My dogs are having a blast in their new, safe backyard, and I can't thank Joe and his team enough for their excellent work.
We felt very lucky to find Joe and his crew! We got estimates from a few companies to replace our wood privacy fence with 6’ vinyl fencing. Fortress came in the best on price and were able to fit us into their schedule almost right away. Joe was very good at answering our questions and even making recommendations of how we might better maximize our backyard. He and his guys moved and rotated our shed, which had been taking up a lot of space in our yard, and extended our fence line into the side of our house, giving us a larger backyard. It wasn’t something we’d have thought to do on our own, but we’re so happy it’s done now. Our new fence looks fantastic. If you’re considering hiring Fortress, do it!
After moving into our home in Wakefield, my wife and I decided to fence in our yard for our dog and for more privacy. We were fortunate to get to work with Joe at Fortress Fence to install a white vinyl fence. He was very knowledgeable about the different styles and helped us choose the right one for us. Joe was very responsive and did a great job putting a very sturdy and long-lasting fence up. I highly recommend Fortress Fence for anyone looking to have a professional company install a fence this upcoming spring/summer.
