All State Fence Company

A 5.0 average across 182 Google ratings and 62 reviews written in the last six months alone make All State Fence Company one of the most actively reviewed fence contractors on the South Shore. The Rockland company installs vinyl, cedar, chain-link and custom fencing, gates, pergolas and outdoor shower enclosures for homes, HOAs and commercial properties, and its reviewers overwhelmingly describe one-day installations. The recurring theme is speed without mess. Reviewers this summer describe a 7-hour fence completion, a crew that arrived early and worked into the night to finish the next day, and an HOA job covering signage, fencing and old post rework finished within a day. A May 2026 customer at a four-townhouse property wrote that installers arrived at 7am sharp, hauled away truckloads of old stockade fencing and put up 6-foot black chain link with privacy inserts plus a wood panel run — and called it 10 out of 10. The owner, Marcus, appears by name in review after review as the person quoting and problem-solving: helping a customer design a cedar fence around a vegetable garden, salvaging a winter-damaged fence rather than replacing it, and returning within 48 hours to swap out a defective section. Repeat business shows up too, including a customer on their third job and another who came by a chain of neighbor referrals. The counterweight is a detailed June 2026 one-star account that a homeowner should read before signing. That customer says they hired the company in November 2025 for a black chain-link fence installed in December for over $13,000, and alleges the owner then dodged calls, failed to complete agreed repairs and changes, and moved the location of a corner post without their consent while telling them the price was already locked in. It is one complaint against a very large run of praise, but it is recent and specific, and it concerns change control and follow-through rather than craftsmanship. A softer version of the same note appears in a June 2026 five-star review for a 300-foot chain-link job: the work was praised and customized well around tricky terrain, but the reviewer added that "communication could be better, but they seem very busy." They are also carried on the lead-gen directories with small, older review sets — 5.0 from 9 on both Angi and HomeAdvisor and 4.9 from 47 on Thumbtack — and hold an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. A 2023 r/SouthShore commenter recommending honest South Shore fence contractors said they had roughly 200 feet of cedar and 250 feet of chain link installed, that the crew was in and out in a couple of days and cleaned up well. Good fit for a homeowner who wants a fence up fast at a competitive price. Before booking, get the exact post and gate locations marked and written into the contract, agree in writing how any change is approved and priced, and confirm how callbacks are handled after the crew leaves.
