# Summit Fence **Trade:** Fencing · **Address:** 13 High St, Ware, MA 01082 · **Phone:** (413) 423-0777 · **Website:** https://www.summit-fence.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (medium confidence) — from 24 reviews across 4 sources. 92% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Summit Fence is a Ware-based fence installer run by Shane, working with at least one named crew member (Kyle), serving both residential and commercial customers with fence installation, removal, repair, and erosion-control work. Once hired, the reviews are consistently glowing — 24 on file from 2022 through 2026, most of them five stars, describing vinyl, split-rail, chain-link, and stockade fence installs, tricky sloped or rocky terrain, custom dog runs, and quick post and panel repairs. Reviewers repeatedly cite clean worksites, on-time crews, and Shane personally walking through design options before the job starts — one reviewer even mentioned him bringing coffee on install day in a 2025 review. There's a real, recurring gap on the front end, though. Two separate reviews — one from June 2022, one from August 2024 — describe Shane being unresponsive after an initial estimate: in the 2022 case, a no-show for the appointment followed by over a week of silence ('We will not be customers'); in 2024, a promised one-week quote turnaround that never arrived despite repeated follow-up. Every review describing completed work is positive, so the pattern looks specific to the quoting stage rather than the installed work itself. For a fence project in Central Massachusetts, Summit's installed work has a strong, detailed history behind it; just don't be surprised if the quoting process needs a follow-up call or two to get moving. **Strengths:** - Quality installs — vinyl, split-rail, and chain-link fences praised repeatedly - Handles tough terrain — sloped, wooded, and rocky sites cited as done well - Personal touch — Shane reviews design options and shows up on-site **Concerns:** - Quoting responsiveness — two reviews, years apart, report going unanswered after an estimate ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Ware, MA fence contractor run by Shane, with crew member Kyle named in one review, serving residential and commercial customers with installation, removal, repair, and erosion-control work _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://www.summit-fence.com) — “Summit Fence is a Ware, Massachusetts fencing contractor serving commercial and residential customers with fence installation, removal, repa…” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURSd2JEMjJ3RRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xaf7453940f4aac51!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDRwbD22wE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Excellent Job!
