Superior Fence Installation Services Across the North Shore
Olympic Fence Co is a family-owned fence company that has installed cedar, vinyl, chain link, ornamental, and pool fencing for Haverhill homes since 1985, from Bradford and Ward Hill to Riverside. For wood fences, our wood-on-steel post option sets a galvanized steel post below the frost line so the fence can't rot at the ground. Haverhill requires a building permit for every fence regardless of height, and we walk you through all three steps at City Hall. Residential service runs 30 miles from our West Newbury shop, which covers all of Haverhill, and every install is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty. Free on-site estimates, clear next steps, and reliable communication throughout the project.

What Do Haverhill and North Shore Homeowners Say?
Every install gets a follow-up. Here is a small sample of what people have said back.
The team walked us through the city approval process, handled all the coordination with Digsafe, and made sure everything was done by the book.
I was impressed and appreciative when James offered to contact the local municipality to ensure compliance with local conservation regs.
We had our fence repaired by Olympic Fence after a tree fell on it, and they were fantastic from start to finish.
Do I Need a Permit for a Fence in Haverhill?
Yes. The City of Haverhill requires a building permit for every fence installation, regardless of height. Here is how the process actually runs.
- Obtain a plot plan from the City Engineer's Office, Room 300 at City Hall.
- Get Conservation Department approval and stamp, also in Room 300.
- Apply for the building permit at the Building Department, Room 210.
Permit processing typically adds two to three weeks to your start date. We coordinate the paperwork so it runs alongside your install schedule instead of pushing it back.

Haverhill building permit information
City of Haverhill Building Department
Permit requirements change from time to time. Always confirm current regulations with the City of Haverhill Building Department before your project begins, or let us check it for your address.
What Changes When You Build a Fence in Haverhill?
A few things specific to Haverhill shape a fence project before the first post goes in. We sort them out at the estimate so your quote reflects the fence the city will actually approve.
Water Nearby Means a Conservation Review
Every Haverhill fence application gets a Conservation Department stamp before the building permit. Yards near the Merrimack River, the Little River, or lakes like Kenoza Lake and Lake Saltonstall can get a closer look at where the fence line runs. We check that at the estimate, so the layout we quote is one the city will approve.
Older Lots and Tight Property Lines
In Riverside and downtown, lots sit close together and old boundaries are not always where people think. The city already requires a plot plan for the permit, and we set the fence line against it before the first post goes in.
Utilities Come First
Every job starts with a Dig Safe call before any digging, so buried gas, water, and electric lines are marked before the crew arrives. It is one more piece of the paperwork we handle so you do not have to.
What Does the Lifetime Workmanship Warranty Cover?
It covers our installation. Here is how it compares with the published warranties of other local fence companies.
Olympic Fence Co
- Lifetime workmanship warranty on our installation
- If something fails because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it
- Stays with you as the original customer and does not transfer if the home is sold
- Materials are covered by their manufacturer; we hand over that paperwork when the job is done, and you call us first if anything comes up
Other local companies
- Up to 3 years where published
- Some publish no workmanship warranty
- Coverage ends once the term runs out
- Repairs after that are billed as new work
Why can we offer that? Because failures caused by our installation are rare. And on wood-on-steel installs, the part of a wood fence that usually fails first isn't wood at all.

What Do Haverhill Homeowners Ask Us First?
The questions that come up most often before a Haverhill project gets signed off.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Haverhill? +
Yes. The City of Haverhill requires a building permit for all fence installations, whatever the height. The process runs through three offices: a plot plan from the City Engineer's Office, approval and a stamp from the Conservation Department, then the permit application itself at the Building Department. We guide you through each step and handle the coordination so your schedule holds.
What is included in the lifetime workmanship warranty? +
It covers our installation: if something fails because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it. The warranty stays with you as the original customer and does not transfer if the home is sold. Materials are covered separately by their manufacturers. We hand over that paperwork when the job is done, and if anything comes up later, you call us first.
How far from Haverhill do you travel for installs? +
Residential service runs 30 miles from our West Newbury shop, which covers all of Haverhill. That includes Bradford, Ward Hill, Riverside, Groveland, Methuen, Lawrence, Amesbury, and other North Shore communities. If you are not sure about your street, call us at (978) 997-2302 and we will tell you either way.
Can you work within my budget for a fence in Haverhill? +
In most cases, yes. We put together good, better, and best options so you can see what each level actually buys you. Whether you want the most affordable route or premium materials with added features, the choices come with clear pricing attached, not a vague range.
What fence materials do you install in Haverhill? +
Cedar and wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental aluminum and steel, and code-compliant pool fencing, for both residential and commercial properties.
The material matters less than the install. For wood fences, our wood-on-steel option puts a galvanized steel post in the ground under the cedar, which keeps the fence standing straight through freeze-thaw cycles.
How is Olympic Fence different from other Haverhill fence installers? +
A few things. You get clear communication, a written estimate, and a crew that follows through. Our own in-house team does the work, every install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we put the price and timeline in writing before we start.
We have been family-owned since 1985, we know the Haverhill permit process, and we offer our wood-on-steel post system as an alternative to standard wood posts.
