Mvalley Fence

Mvalley Fence is a one-owner Merrimack Valley shop run by William "Bill" Atchison, who — by his own account and by nearly every one of his 45 reviews — personally answers the phone, quotes the job, and often shows up himself. Reviewers keep returning to the same detail: he calls back when nobody else will. In a 2023 review, three other contractors wouldn't even look at a rotted-post repair before Bill came right over; in a 2022 review, a homeowner says they'd left messages with several fence companies about a double-gate repair and heard nothing back until Bill picked up. Speed shows up almost as often as responsiveness. In a 2022 review, a homeowner had 289 feet of chain-link fence, a driving gate, and two entry gates installed in under a week from the first call. A 2025 review describes a 20-year-old gate realigned and rehung within three days of the initial conversation. And Bill has answered calls on a Sunday and shown up the next morning — in a 2022 review, a customer emailed photos of a fallen gate over the weekend and came home from work Monday to find it already fixed. The work itself gets specific praise beyond turnaround. A 2026 review describes him repairing a storm-damaged fence — squirrel-pulled panels, a leaning line — and resetting the posts sturdier than the original installer had. Multiple reviewers describe him declining to upcharge for extra work: fixing additional posts at no charge, letting a customer pay a material vendor directly rather than marking up supplies, and, in a 2021 review, patching an existing wooden fence he hadn't originally installed rather than pushing a full replacement. Recent activity keeps that pattern going: four reviews in the last six months, all five stars, describing quick quotes and same-week installs for privacy and chain-link fencing. The one real exception is a 2025 review describing a gate he replaced and latched so tightly it couldn't be opened, with the customer saying two follow-up calls and a text went unanswered. It's the lone negative account in a record this deep, but it's specific enough to flag: confirm a gate operates properly at handoff, and get a clear answer on the callback process for any post-install adjustment. A separate review also flagged the business's listed address as incorrect, worth double-checking before a first visit. For anything from a full new fence to a repair other companies won't bother with, Mvalley's record backs a call to Bill directly.
