Hulme Fence

Hulme Fence is a Methuen fence installer that's built its reputation on a fast, coordinated crew — reviewers again and again describe two-hundred-plus feet of vinyl, chain-link, or wood fence going up in a single day, sometimes in under five hours. The company holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor license, and on Google it sits at 4.7 stars across 137 ratings. Across 111 reviews dating back to 2021, the same names come up over and over — Jake, Adam, and installers like Louis, Ivan, and Mikey — running quotes, showing up on schedule, and finishing large jobs (250 linear feet of chain link, 200 feet of vinyl privacy fence) in a matter of hours rather than days. Recent reviews from 2026 keep describing crews arriving early, walking the property before and after, and leaving yards cleaner than they found them. Pricing gets called out as competitive more than once — one 2025 review said a Home Depot-referred quote came in over $1,000 cheaper than local competitors, and another described a same-day quote and contract. Hulme also has a track record of coming back to fix things after the fact: a 2026 review described a stockade-fence post repair, a 2025 update said the company returned to sort out post-install issues "very quickly," and in a 2022 review a homeowner said Hulme fixed a gate that stopped closing three years after the original install. There are a few real complaints worth knowing about. In a 2025 review, a customer said an estimator had promised responsibility for any sprinkler-line damage during installation and felt that promise wasn't honored. Another 2025 review described a billing dispute — an unexpected upcharge for extra gate footage and a complaint that a card had been kept on file without the customer's knowledge. And in a 2022 review, a customer said Hulme missed two scheduled appointments before they gave up and looked elsewhere. These are a small minority next to the volume of positive reviews, but they're the kind of thing worth asking about directly — get the contract terms and any damage-responsibility language in writing before the crew starts. Hulme is a solid pick for a straightforward fence install — vinyl, chain-link, or wood — especially if speed and same-day scheduling matter, and its Home Depot partnership is one route in if you'd rather book through a retailer.
