They installed my fence perfectly and within a few weeks of our first meeting! Couldn’t be happier with it

My review from 2 years ago is below and as I said we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. And we did. They just completed the back section of our fence (we didn’t need it done the first time). They were polite young men who were on time and meticulously put our fence in. It is straight, sturdy, and exactly what we agreed on. Working with Greg was easy and he got back to me quickly with any questions I had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Southern Maine Fence to anyone. After making the first phone call, Ryan had someone out, who gave us a quote right away. His team was professional, friendly, conscientious, respectful with such attention to detail. The fence is not only beautiful, but it is solid…top notch construction. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Southern Maine Fence installed a quality fence at a competitive price. They were also prompt and friendly. Very happy with our experience.

I am completely delighted with the fence I got from Southern Maine Fence. I never thought it would look this good I had pictured it so many times, but never pictured this! Already the cedar fits into the environment, and looks perfect. I sent a photo to my sister and she said it looked “like it should always have been there.” I am so pleased with the results. My contact person was Greg, who was very professional and understood all the logistics of the job.The crew that was here was so nice, very respectful, very good vibes. I would thoroughly recommend their services.

I scheduled an appointment to get a fence install estimate and they didn’t show up. I followed up to see what happened and they never responded. Unacceptable and poor business practice. Total waste of my time.

It pains me to write a negative review but I am hopeful that by doing so, a little more oversight will be implemented by this company for future projects. I will start with the positive for our residential guardrail project. Ben was initially responsive to my inquiry and was out for an estimate the next day. The installation occurred about two months after I was told it would, but to be fair, it did rain pretty much all of June which I am sure backed up the queue. With most fencing companies booked out for half a year and with the urgency of needing this installed before winter because of a pregnant wife, I was just happy it was getting done. The project lead, Ryan, was also very personable and instilled confidence that the job would be done well. I was provided with an example photo of what the finished product would look like. Unfortunately, the three men who installed the guardrail clearly had no experience with such a project and did not really know what they were doing. The first red flag was when they asked whether the 2x8s should be in front of or behind the posts. I was unable to monitor the project all day as I was working. I was not expecting the posts to be sawed right at the top of the 2X8 as that lessens the stability of the product. The top of the posts had been crookedly lopped off with a Sawzall. The final result was not like any guardrail I have seen before (see photo with only one horizontal board) and did not resemble the example photo I had been provided. I reached out to Ryan that afternoon and, to their credit, they did come back the next day to add another row of 2X8s. While they did agree to remove some of the cost associated with the extra lumber, for a total project cost of nearly 6K, I expected better structural integrity. The biggest issue is that where the boards join the posts is not even near the middle of the posts which substantially weakens the structure. The off-center attachment has also caused splitting of the wooden post after less than one month since installation. I now need to spend time and money filling in gaps that have already formed due to the poor craftsmanship as evidenced in the photos. The aesthetic final result from afar is nice, but I do not have great confidence in the overall product. Considering the seeming professionalism of the foreman and owner as well as many positive reviews of the company, I feel I was unlucky and perhaps got a lemon. Ultimately, we received a product that was neither as advertised (i.e., did not look like the stock photo we were shown beforehand) nor structurally in line with the necessary requirements of a guardrail to perform its intended function – stopping a car.

This is a customer to customer warning. We requested an estimate and were given one based one some different options. Suddenly they were able to put a fence in and things moved quickly, within weeks. Please be aware!!! The owner and his foreman Adam will blame the customer for every alleged miscommunication when they make mistakes or try to cheap out on what the customer pays for. We spoke with the owner and asked for them to go over the entire plan before the project began. They said yes and then called me one day while I was at work and said they were on their way to our house. I asked for cedar- they gave us cedar and also pine so we have a 6’ fence one wood and a 4’ fence another. The owner said that was our fault. They did not give us proper gate handles, they drilled a hole in the fence and gave us wire string on one side and a handle on another. The foreman Adam lied to me and said my partner said a different idea and they had to remove two posts in concrete. Communication on their end is awful. Be 100% of exactly every single tiny detail otherwise they will show you a photo of a fence and then try to .. literally… saw off the fence posts and leave them crooked when the photo showed completely finished beveled posts. You have to watch every second of the project and you have to ask for things again that they already promised. They tacked on $450 to our $8,700 project without telling us because our yard has rocks underneath. The men working at our house were all very nice and hard working. I don’t think this company treats its workers well. The owner of southern Maine fence and Adam the foreman. Just yikes. If you can choose another company .. I would. We will now pay a different company because southern Maine fence is awful, untrustworthy, and sneaky.

Set up an appointment for them to come out and do an estimate. Tried to verify the appointment before it came up 3 times and no replies. I drove over to the location for the 7am appointment they set up and nobody showed. When I texted they finally replied saying they weren’t going to make it and rescheduled. When it got close to the rescheduled appointment once again I tried verifying it and no response and once again nobody showed nor have I heard from them. I do not recommend using them when there are a ton of other fence people around who actually reply and have customer service skills/organization. Waste of time. Update because they replied: the estimator did not call even once.
