Types of Fences We Install in Stow
Not sure what type of fence is right for your property? Here's what we offer:
Vinyl / PVC Fences Wellesley Vinyl is hands-down the most popular choice for Stow homeowners, and for good reason. It never needs painting, it won't rot or rust, and it handles New England winters like a champ. You've got options too — white, tan, wood-look finishes — and it's perfect if you want privacy without the maintenance headaches. Install it and forget about it. That's the whole point.
Wood / Cedar Fences Wellesley If you want that classic New England look, cedar's the way to go. It's naturally resistant to bugs and weather, and it just looks good — really good. We install privacy fences, picket fences, split-rail, you name it. Cedar ages beautifully too. A lot of Stow properties have that traditional feel, and cedar fits right in.
Chain Link Fences Wellesley Chain link gets the job done. It's affordable, it's durable, and it works great for keeping dogs in, marking property lines, or securing a commercial lot. We offer galvanized or vinyl-coated options, and we can do pretty much any height you need. Not fancy, but reliable as heck.
Aluminum Fences Wellesley Want something that looks like wrought iron but won't rust and costs way less? That's aluminum. It's perfect along driveways, around pool areas, or anywhere you want a clean, classic look without the upkeep. Black, white, bronze — we've got all the standard colors. And it's tough. Really tough.

Do You Need a Permit for a Fence in Stow?
Short answer: probably.
Stow requires permits for most fences — usually anything over 6 feet tall, and definitely if you're on a corner lot (sight line rules). If your property has wetlands, conservation land, or is in a historic district, there might be extra steps.
Here's what we tell people: just call the Stow Building Department and ask. They're at Stow Town Hall, 380 Great Road. They'll tell you exactly what you need. It's usually pretty straightforward.
We've done this a hundred times, so if you want help figuring it out, just ask. We're not going to fill out the forms for you, but we can definitely point you in the right direction and make sure the fence meets all the local codes. No point building something that doesn't pass inspection.

Why Stow Residents Choose Able Fence
Stow's a great town — quiet, wooded, good schools, lots of land. People here care about their properties, and we get that. We've been installing fences in Stow for decades, so we know what works and what doesn't. Here's why people hire us:
**We're Local** — We're not some national chain. We're based in Marlborough, about 15 minutes away. When you call, you get us. When we say we'll be there Tuesday, we're there Tuesday.
**We Know the Bylaws** — Stow has its own fencing rules, and we know them. We've dealt with the Building Department plenty of times. We'll help you figure out what you need and make sure you're all set.
**No Surprises** — We give you a price upfront. That's the price. We don't tack on extras later or "discover" problems halfway through the job.
**Quality Work** — We've been doing this for 33 years. We use good materials, we don't cut corners, and we stand behind what we do. If there's a problem, we fix it. That's just how we operate.
**Fully Insured** — Every job is covered. You're protected, we're protected, everyone's happy. Look, there are plenty of fence companies out there. But we're the ones your neighbors are calling. There's a reason for that.

We Know Stow's Fence Rules
Stow has specific fencing bylaws — height limits, setback requirements, corner lot restrictions, and conservation considerations. We've worked with the Stow Building Department for years and know exactly what's required. We'll make sure your fence meets all local codes before we even break ground. No failed inspections, no do-overs, no headaches. Just a fence that's done right the first time and passes inspection without issues.
Right Fence for Your Property
Every Stow property is different. Wooded lots need different solutions than open yards. Properties near Lake Boon have different needs than homes along Route 117. We customize every installation based on your specific situation — your property layout, your privacy needs, your budget, and the look you're going for. We've fenced everything from half-acre lots to multi-acre estates in Stow, so we've seen it all. We'll help you pick the right fence for your specific property.
Pool Fencing & Safety
Massachusetts has strict pool fencing laws — 4-foot minimum height, self-closing gates, self-latching mechanisms, no climbable gaps. We install pool fences that meet every requirement. We also do security fencing, dog runs, and child-safe yard enclosures. Every fence we install includes proper safety features, and every gate is built to code. Your family's safety isn't something we mess around with.
Why Hire a Local Fence Company?
Here's the thing about hiring local: we actually care about our reputation around here. We see our customers at the grocery store, at the gas station, at town events. If we do a bad job, we're going to hear about it — forever. So we don't do bad jobs.
When you hire us, you get:
**Fast Response** — We can usually get out to Stow within a day or two for an estimate. We're 15 minutes away, not three hours away.
**Local Knowledge** — We know Stow's soil (rocky in spots), we know the frost line, we know what works and what doesn't. That matters when you're putting posts in the ground.
**Accountability** — If something goes wrong, you know where to find us. We're not disappearing to another state when the job's done.
**Supporting Local** — Your money stays in MetroWest. We hire local crews, we use local suppliers, we're part of this community. Bottom line: you can trust us because we live and work here too.
