## The honest read

Ron Forest & Sons Fence Company is a Scarborough, Maine fence company that says it has served customers throughout Maine and New England for more than 45 years. On Houzz, Ron writes that he owns this company and Bangor Cedar Fence and has made fencing and garden accessories from northern white cedar for more than 40 years. Its BBB profile describes the design, manufacture, sale and installation of cedar wood fencing, trellises and arbors, with cedar from the firm's sawmill in Bangor.

A 2026 Google customer says they installed a wooden fence three years earlier, and when a couple of rails were rotting, they installed the fence with all new rails at no cost.

A 2023 customer said Ron came out to assess a new side fence and provided drawings and a quote that the customer called reasonable and competitive with other companies. That 2023 customer said the team installed the fence in half a day. In an April 2026 r/portlandme thread, a commenter wrote that Ron Forest does excellent work, especially decorative.

A 2024 customer did the installation themselves and said Heidi helped with the design and gave some tips, and that Al delivered the pieces and shared his knowledge. On Google, the company holds a 4.2-star rating from 20 ratings.

**Strengths:**
- Rail replacement — a recent customer says rotting rails were replaced at no cost
- A half-day install — a 2023 customer said the team installed it in half a day
- A drawn design — a 2023 customer said Ron provided drawings and a quote
