A recent customer in Providence had Greenwich Wood Products build a cedar and Ipe second story deck over a cedar lower deck, with storage areas enclosed by wooden partition walls and gates; that customer wrote that the company also built benches and a pergola and replaced their fence. The company says on its Houzz profile that Michael Hendershot founded it in 2002 in West Greenwich, RI, as a decorative and custom fence company focused on wood and metal fence. Its website describes custom architectural fences, architectural millwork, and garden structures and landscaping. A recent customer who wanted a cedar fence described Mike's gate system: built from 2x4 cedar with a half-inch-plus lattice sandwich, making a gate door more than 4 inches thick. The same customer described galvanized posts cemented in the ground inside a cedar sleeve that can be replaced if damage ever happens, wrote that Mike suggested a group text with their contractor from day one, and said that for the value and size of the project it came in better than expected. A recent Google customer wrote that Mike helped them find exactly the wood they needed for a project. A 2026 customer wrote about buying cedar at the Hope location for DIY projects, including cedar boards for raised garden beds. In 2025, a customer wrote that Michael, Jeff and the team designed, built and installed an Alaskan yellow-cedar moon-gate and fence at their home, with materials selection, design and installation each discussed in detail. A 2021 BuildZoom customer wrote that a 32-foot area needed 6-foot fence attention. That 2021 customer said Mike's quote was reasonable and his crew showed up a week later. In that 2021 account, the job was very difficult, rocky with hidden ledge, brush and a high water table, and took the crew twice as long as anticipated, but they saw it through.

“Fence: Mike Hendershot, Greenwich Wood Products”
The GWP team did an amazing professional job on a complex deck and fencing project at our home in Providence. They built a gorgeous cedar and Ipe second story deck over a cedar lower deck and enclosed storage areas with wooden partition walls and gates. This was a truly 3d challenge and they pulled it off masterfully! They also build benches, a pergola, and replaced our fence. All top quality work. I’d recommend them for anything!
This is an easy review for me because it’s all about quality—and getting real quality installed at your home is difficult in today’s market. I wanted a cedar fence, but more importantly, I wanted something that would not look like a rickety old fence in 7, 8, or 10 years. A lot of people think a fence is just a straight line. Look around—you’ll see that’s not enough. I am satisfied. ✅ Quality is rare to find at the price we paid. ✅ Mike’s gate system is sensational • Built from 2x4 cedar • Half-inch-plus lattice sandwich • Creates a 4+ inch thick gate door • Strong, straight, and built to last ✅ Hardware matters • Ball-bearing strap hinges • Heavy-duty feel • Exactly the kind of heft you want without overdoing it ✅ Professional communication • Mike suggested a group text with my contractor from day one • Everyone stayed informed • The project moved efficiently ✅ Worked seamlessly with my crew • Skilled carpenter • Flexible and solution-oriented • In my experience, outside people joining a crew can be tricky—this worked extraordinarily well ✅ Smart post system • Galvanized post cemented in ground • Cedar sleeve wraps around it • If damage ever happens, the sleeve can be replaced without rebuilding the post ✅ Bottom line If you care about quality, straight lines, durability, and craftsmanship, this is the place to go for a fence. Costs are up everywhere, but for the value and size of this project, it came in better than expected.
Mike is a complete gentleman who’s only concern was getting me exactly the wood I needed for my project. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of wood species and lumber products and was very gracious in helping me find exactly what I needed. I look forward to using his company in the future, and would encourage everybody to go there if they want knowledgeable, fast and respectful service.
Highly recommend Greenwich Wood Products. We have visited the Hope location a couple of times to get cedar wood for DIY projects at our house in eastern CT. My husband built me a beautiful potting bench for the garden, made from GWP cedar. I expect it to last a very long time! Mike was very helpful and took the time to recommend the right kind of wood and the right type of finishing product. Last summer, we also purchased cedar boards to replace the rotting wood for the raised beds in my herb garden. Today we returned to buy more cedar boards for raised garden beds, as well as some lattice type pieces to construct new pea stakes for the vegetable garden. If you are looking for high quality wood products and top notch service, then look no further. If you are frustrated and disgusted by cheap, low quality garbage that seems to be the norm these days, then try out GWP. You will not be disappointed. It is so refreshing to do to business with a local New England business that offers true, old-fashioned quality and service. I am excited to start working on my long-time plans for a picket fence, arbor, and outdoor shower.....and will definitely be working with GWP. Check out the photo gallery on their website and be inspired!
Michael, Jeff, and the entire team at Greenwich Wood Products (GWP) did an outstanding job designing, building, and installing our Alaskan yellow-cedar, custom-made, moon-gate and fence at our home and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The quality of GWP’s service and craftsmanship was absolutely top-notch. Communication with everyone on the GWP project team was great, with each facet of the project - everything from materials selection to design considerations to installation - discussed in detail to ensure that we understood the process and our expectations were met fully. I would definitely recommend GWP to family and friends for their fence, gate, or outdoor structure project, as I know they will be as delighted as we were with their work. Thank you GWP!!!
