## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Repeat customers — years of pool, privacy and arbor fencing work
- Precise installs — fence came out straight on a rocky lot
- Storm repair — fixed damaged fence the same visit

**Concerns:**
- Warranty follow-up — snapped post left unaddressed after calls

**Where sources disagree:**
- Site claims roughly 40 years / '4 decades' of experience but separately lists 1999 as the year established, about 27 years — the two figures don't match.
