Woodward Fence & Supply Corporation is a Newbury fence company reviewers know by first name — Lou shows up review after review, running a crew that designs, supplies and installs wood, vinyl and steel fencing for houses, businesses and municipalities. The volume of specifics is what stands out: a rose arbor, a pool-bordering fence and a privacy fence for one repeat customer spanning years, in a 2023 review; a vinyl picket fence where the crew had to cut tree roots out to finish the job, in a 2024 review; a rocky yard where the fence still came out perfectly straight and level, also from 2023; and a storm-damaged fence fixed the same visit that looked brand new when the crew was done, from 2023 as well. A more recent review, from July 2026, praises fast and fair quoting and strong communication throughout. There is one real miss in the record: a customer whose newly installed fence post snapped within a year of a spring-2022 job wrote in August 2024 that calls and emails asking Woodward to come back went unanswered, feeling the single-post fix wasn't worth the crew's time next to a bigger project. The company describes itself as locally owned with roughly 40 years in the fencing trade, though its own site separately lists 1999 as the year established — a couple decades short of 40 — so the exact history is worth a direct question rather than taking either number at face value. Overall this reads as an established, mostly well-regarded local fence crew — strong on craftsmanship and repeat business — with one documented case of poor follow-through on a warranty-type callback. Worth asking upfront how they handle post-installation issues before signing.

Lou did a phenomenal job throughout the whole process. Fast and fair quoting, really great ideas about what we could do with our fence, excellent quality, and great communication throughout!
Responsive, professional, fair. Highly recommended
The owner, Lou Woodward, is very personable. He works with his crew and works as hard as they do. He is thorough when making an estimate and sticks to the price quoted. He had to cut out tree roots in order to complete the new vinyl picket fence we were having installed. That was no easy task I hired him and his crew twice this year and the only complaint I have is that it takes a while before he can start on my project. He is in that much of a demand with customers. It may take a while before he can get to your job. Thanks to Lou and his crew for a great job. I will be calling them again.
Had worked completed in spring of 2022. They did a great job initially replacing multiple posts and fixing a large portion of fencing for us. One of the fence post installed snapped within a year, leaving the fence in a very compromising position and haven’t been able to get them back to fix it. Apparently fixing 1 post isn’t enough money or worth the time of their crew to come back compared to a $1k+ project for them. Figured they’d come back to replace something that was put in by them to help out a customer, but has completely ignored all calls and emails. Feeling very frustrated after months of trying to contact them with no response. Would not recommend if you are trying to get a project done in timely fashion purely based on being ignored as a previously paying customer.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Woodward Fence, and I couldn't be more impressed with the exceptional service they provided. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. First and foremost, the quality of the fence they installed surpassed my expectations. It's not only sturdy and well-built but also beautifully crafted, adding both security and aesthetic appeal to my property. The attention to detail in their workmanship truly shines through, and I've received numerous compliments from neighbors and friends. Moreover, the entire process was seamless and stress-free, thanks to the efficient and organized approach of the Woodward Fence team. They were prompt in their communication, transparent about timelines and costs, and respectful of my preferences and concerns every step of the way. What truly sets Woodward Fence apart, however, is their dedication to customer satisfaction. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the final result, addressing any minor adjustments or concerns promptly and courteously. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Woodward Fence to anyone in need of top-notch fencing services. Their combination of quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and outstanding customer service makes them a standout choice in the industry. I am grateful for their expertise and thrilled with the transformation they've brought to my property.
