The American Fence Company

The American Fence Company, based in Andover, installs and repairs residential and commercial fencing across the region, and its written record — 105 reviews since 2021, almost entirely five stars — keeps repeating the same throughline: fast quotes, clear communication, and jobs finished close to schedule. Recent activity is thin (just three reviews in the last six months, none negative), but the deeper record, especially through 2024 and 2025, is substantial. Specific jobs described in that record include a driveway gate the crew was praised for building and installing, described in a late-2025 review, a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence and gate measured and quoted on the spot with the contract signed digitally on-site in a 2024 review, and a back-property fence with 40 posts and two gates that a 2025 customer said was communicated and priced competitively throughout. Multiple reviewers across 2024 and 2025 describe getting a price guaranteed up front — one homeowner noted it held "regardless of what rocks they hit in the ground" — and one 2024 review says the company's quote beat two other competing bids on responsiveness and clarity, not just price. Repair work also shows up in the record: a 2024 review describes the company fixing a fence damaged by fallen tree branches after other companies wouldn't return the call, and a separate 2024 review describes storm-damaged panels fixed promptly. Set against that, a 2022 review is a clear outlier — a customer who was pleased with the original installation described a fence warranty that, in practice, went unhonored: months-long waits for a technician, an unresolved gate issue, and a request that the customer pay for a replacement gate the company itself had installed the wrong size. It's the kind of complaint worth asking about directly, especially around what the warranty actually covers once the crew has left. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ grade. For a straightforward fence or gate install, the pattern across the record is consistent: a same-day or next-day quote, a firm price, and a crew that shows up and finishes on time — though it's worth getting the warranty terms in writing given that one account of them falling through.
