What fencing services does Olympic Fence offer?
Olympic Fence has been building fences across the North Shore and Essex County since 1985. We are a family-owned fence contractor based in West Newbury, now run by the second generation of the LaPierre family. Whether you need privacy fencing for a backyard in Newburyport or a security fence for a commercial site, we install it to handle New England weather and back it with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
We will be straight with you: we are not the cheapest fence company around. We aim to be the best value instead. That means quality materials, careful installation, and clear communication from your first estimate to the day we clean up and pack out.
Residential Fence Installation
Privacy, security, and curb appeal for your home. We install cedar, vinyl, chain-link, ornamental aluminum, and our proprietary wood-on-steel system, built to handle New England weather and last for years.
Commercial & Municipal Fencing
Security and perimeter fencing for businesses, schools, parks, and town departments. We handle heavy-duty chain-link, access control, athletic field systems, bollards, guardrails, and code-compliant installs for public works.
Repairs & Retail Services
Storm damage, leaning posts, broken sections, and gate service, even on fences we did not install. Plus retail material sales for projects across the region.
Why do North Shore homeowners choose Olympic Fence?
Choosing a fence contractor comes down to trust. You are handing a crew your property and counting on the work to last. Here is what you get with Olympic that most other quotes will not include.
A Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
Most fence companies back their installation for two or three years. Olympic backs ours for as long as you own the fence. If something is not right with how we built it, we make it right, with no expiration date.
The Wood-on-Steel System
Traditional wood posts sit in the ground and rot from the base up. Our wood-on-steel system sets wood fencing on steel posts instead, so your fence stays straight and solid through New England's freeze-thaw winters. It is an option most local contractors do not offer.
Two Generations Since 1985
Olympic has been a family business since 1985, now run by the second generation of the LaPierre family. The warranty behind your fence is backed by people who will still be here, and still local, years from now.
Clear Communication, Clean Job Sites
Our customers tell us the same things again and again: we answered the phone, we showed up when we said we would, and we left the yard clean. You will know your timeline and your price up front, with no surprises.
What fencing materials does Olympic Fence install?
We install every major fencing material, so your choice comes down to the look, upkeep, and budget you want, not whatever one contractor happens to stock.
Vinyl & PVC Fencing
Low maintenance and built to last. Vinyl never needs paint or stain, holds its color for decades, and rinses clean with a garden hose. A favorite for privacy and pool areas.
Vinyl fencing options
Aluminum & Ornamental Fencing
An elegant, rust-resistant option for front yards, pool surrounds, and decorative borders. Aluminum gives you the classic wrought-iron look without the upkeep.
Aluminum & steel fencing
Wood & Cedar Fencing
Nothing beats the natural warmth of real cedar. We build custom privacy and picket styles, and our wood-on-steel system keeps wood fencing standing straight years longer in New England weather.
Custom-built to order
Chain Link Fencing
Affordable, durable, and practical for backyards, pet areas, and commercial sites alike. Available in galvanized and black vinyl-coated finishes.
Chain link fencing optionsWhich specialty fences do you install (pool, privacy, pet)?
Some projects are built around one specific job. These three come up the most, and each has its own rules and design choices worth getting right.
Pool Fencing
Massachusetts requires a safety barrier around residential pools, with rules covering fence height, gaps, and self-closing, self-latching gates. We install pool fencing that keeps your family safe and meets local code.

Privacy Fencing
Block the view, cut the road noise, and get your backyard back. We build full-privacy fencing in cedar and vinyl, with options like scalloped tops and lattice accents that still look good from the street.

Pet & Dog Fencing
Give your dog room to run without the worry of a gap or a jump. We install secure pet and dog fencing in the heights and styles that match your yard and your dog.
Dog & pet fencingDo you offer concrete coring and temporary fencing?
Yes. Alongside fence installation, we offer specialty services that most fence contractors do not, which is why builders and site managers call us for the jobs others turn down.
Concrete Coring
Clean, precise core drilling through concrete, asphalt, and masonry for fence posts, bollards, railings, and utility lines. Coring lets us set posts through hard surfaces without tearing them up, so installs stay on schedule year-round.

Secure construction sites, public events, and emergency perimeters with reliable temporary fence panels and barricades. We deliver, set up, and remove, so your site stays safe and code-compliant for as long as the job runs.

"Olympic fence did a fantastic job installing the fence in back yard. The crew was very professional and did the job much quicker than expected. I would recommend them to any one looking to get a fence installed."
"I am very happy with the fence recently installed in my backyard by Olympic fence. James met with me on multiple occasions to determine the best material, design and location. I was impressed and appreciative when James offered to contact the local municipality to ensure compliance with local conservation regs. I would recommend James, Emily and Olympic fence without reservation."
"We had our fence repaired by Olympic Fence after a tree fell on it, and they were fantastic from start to finish. They came out quickly, worked efficiently, and did an amazing job. The fence looks brand new! The workers were incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend Olympic Fence Co for anyone needing quality workmanship and great service."
What should you know before installing a fence in Massachusetts?
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Massachusetts?
In most Massachusetts towns, fences under six feet tall do not need a permit, while taller fences usually do. Rules change from town to town, and some areas have extra restrictions near wetlands or shared property lines. We handle permit questions as part of your project and will tell you exactly what your town requires before any work begins.
What areas does Olympic Fence serve?
We install residential fencing within a 30-mile radius of West Newbury, covering the North Shore and Essex County. Commercial and municipal work reaches 70 miles out, across Greater Boston, Eastern Massachusetts, and southern New Hampshire. We also ship retail fencing materials throughout New England.
How long will my fence last?
It depends on the material. Cedar fencing usually lasts 15 to 30 years, chain-link and aluminum 25 years or more, and vinyl can last 35 years or longer. Our wood-on-steel system adds years to wood fencing by keeping the posts out of the ground moisture that causes rot at the base.
Are you the cheapest fence company around?
No, and we are upfront about that. We aim to be the best value: solid materials, careful installation, and a lifetime workmanship warranty. Many of our customers tell us our quote came in more reasonable than they expected once they compared what was actually included.
How long does a fence project take?
Most residential installs take one to a few days on site once we start. The lead time from estimate to install depends on the season, since late summer and fall are our busiest months. If you are on a waitlist, we can often set up temporary fencing so your yard stays secure in the meantime.
What does the lifetime workmanship warranty cover?
It covers the quality of our installation work for as long as you own your fence. Most fence companies offer two to three years. We stand behind our crews' work for life, because we are a local family business and we expect to see you around town for years to come.
This is a general summary and not legal advice. Fence codes and permit rules vary by town and can change. Contact your local building department or a licensed professional for the requirements that apply to your property.
