RD Fence Company

RD Fence Company is a North Billerica family business that's been installing wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain-link fencing across the region since the 1970s — the company puts the figure at 53 years, and BBB records show it's held an A+ rating and accreditation since 1995. Names show up again and again across its reviews: Tyler leading install crews, Rick and Sue in the office, and a roster of hands-on foremen customers clearly remember by name. The volume here is real — 37 reviews spanning 2022 through mid-2026 — and the pattern is remarkably consistent. Reviews from the past six months describe the same things older ones do: measurements taken within days, full installs wrapped in a day or two even in 90-plus-degree heat, and crews that clean up before they leave. One customer whose gate started failing after RD installed their fence 35 years earlier said Rick had it repaired within days of hearing about it, no argument. Another described RD taking on a small picket-fence repair job many companies might overlook, and having a foreman fix an unrelated gate issue from a different contractor at no extra fuss. The record isn't spotless. An April 2024 review described a rockier experience: a $1,000 deposit for an August install that slipped, unreturned calls for months, and — when the customer followed up later — a disputed account of what had been agreed and an owner who didn't call back. A separate 2023 review described a smaller mix-up: a gate and fence order marked ready for pickup that wasn't actually ready. Both are real accounts worth knowing, though neither repeats in the nine reviews from the past six months, which run positive without exception. Its BBB profile lists a five-year installation warranty and membership in the American Fence Association. Before booking, it's worth locking down a firm install date in writing, given the one account of a job slipping for months.
