Highlights
- Four fence materials — vinyl, chain link, wood and aluminum offered
- Repairs and installs — site covers both new work and repairs
- Long claimed history — company site says work since 1968
- Follow-through — the one public review describes an agreed repair left undone
- Winter scheduling — that review reports work pushed to spring thaw
- Very thin record — two Google ratings and one written review
Methuen Fence Co is a small, hyper-local fence shop — its own site names exactly one town it serves, Methuen, and claims "Quality Work since 1968." The work it advertises is the full residential and commercial fence range: vinyl, chain link, wood and aluminum, new installs as well as repairs. The public track record is thin and it leans negative. Two Google ratings average 3 stars, and the single written review is a one-star account centered on follow-through — a repair quoted, agreed to, and then left unscheduled through the winter while calls went unreturned. One review is not a verdict on a business that says it has been at this since 1968, but it is the only firsthand account a homeowner can read. What's worth pinning down before you commit is scheduling. That review describes work pushed to spring after the ground thawed, so ask directly for a start window in writing and what happens if materials or weather push it. A deposit schedule tied to actual milestones is the practical protection here. Massachusetts does not require home improvement contractor registration for fencing-only work, so no registration is expected for this trade. Reasonable to get a quote from if you are in Methuen and want a local shop, but get a second bid and a written timeline before handing over money.

We were quoted a cost at the beginning of November 2025 to fix an area of our chain link fence that was damaged from a tree branch during a storm. We agreed to the quoted cost and asked him to do the work. A few days later, he said "it will take a week to order, I'll contact you when it comes in." On November 21st, he emailed again saying he hasn't forgotten about it......but nothing since then. We've been leaving messages, and he finally called back, only to tell us that he's in Florida for the winter and will be back when the ground thaws in the spring. There was no mention of that in person, nor on his voicemail that he's closed the business for months.

- behind the score: Follow-through — the one public review describes an agreed repair left undone
What does a fence cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Methuen Fence Co. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Walk the line and pace it off — a pace is about 3 feet.
Estimated range
$4,050 – $7,950
Typical fencing project around $6,000
