I was introduced to Housewright Fence by a neighbor. Our shared fence blew down in a storm, due to the original wood posts rotting. We all hate to replace fences and I am particularly bad at procrastinating about it, but after propping the old fence up for a few months, I had to cave and share the expense with our neighbor. Being frugal (i.e. cheap) I only replaced the shared fence, delaying the rest of the fence replacement for later. Housewright replaced the old wooden posts with metal posts and installed a beautiful red cedar fence. All the wood was prestained, before arriving at our house, allowing Housewright to stain ALL surfaces of the wood, to prevent decay for as long as possible. We opted for a horizontal "rot board" as well, so that the fence's pickets could be raised enough to prevent having their ends submerged, even in the heaviest rain. Again, this is done so that the fence lasts as long as possible. Have I mentioned I HATE replacing fences? They did such a great job on the first fence section, that when I was ready to replace the rest of our fence, I didn't go out for quotes. I just reached out to Housewright Fence to do the job. It took a while to get on the schedule, but with supply chain issues, we were able to get the job done within a few weeks of placing our deposit. The crew worked hard in a day so hot, I didn't even want to step outside. They were courteous, careful to not damage our plants, patio furnishings or garden trellises and their post-construction cleanup left nothing behind. We've been doing LOTS of work, to transform our backyard from a place just for the dogs to poop, into a place for peaceful reflection and relaxation. Our new fence was the final touch in our backyard's transformation and I'm grateful our neighbor found Housewright. Need a fence but procrastinating like me? Go ahead and call Housewright. You'll be very pleased with the result. read more

Jay and his team did an awesome job getting our fence put up. Even through the lumber shortage, he stuck to his original quote, which I appreciated. We had about 200' of 6' cedar fence installed in about 2 days, from start to finish. They also put a gate in a section on wrought iron fence where we needed one, and it works perfectly. Our neighbors on one side did not want a new fence, complained about us removing our trees, and were generally not fun to deal with. The crew had to put up with their complaining as well, but did so with a smile and even filled the gap between their old, falling down, chain link gate and the new wood fence. Even they are happy with the fence that they didn't want! Jay was extremely responsive to my emails and texts and they even billed my side neighbor separately for his half of that section of fence so that we didn't have to deal with that. He took care of everything from start to finish. We are so happy with our new privacy fence and will definitely look to Housewright Fence when we need to address the fence on the other side of our yard. read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! I made a mistake and used them to replace 3 fence posts that were rotten landscape timbers from the previous owner. First problem was Housewright tried to use landscape timbers! They are not approved for in ground use so get this clarified before using any fence company. Second, workers did not use a level or string. The job is so bad that I had to hire another company to repair the poor job. (photos attached) Third, workers tore up my landscape, which was unnecessary. It took me an entire day to clean and replace the landscaping. Fourth, they broke a light. Did not tell me. Fifth- they cracked my driveway with a digging bar. Left a big hole. Sixth-they used the rocks from my landscape to fill in the hole so they didn't have to mix more concrete. Others may have a good experience with them. But is it worth it to take a gamble on them? Attached are the photos of their pathetic job. In the photos I sent Jay, (Housewright) did not see anything wrong with what the crew had done. That should be enough to not hire them. The fence is not level, not plumb and not in a straight line like it was before they "fixed the fence". What a disappointment! read more

I had a fence and pergola installed by Jay. The pergola roof leaked as soon as it was completed. It now floods my patio. Jay knows it was put on too short and that it floods and will not take care of the job his company did wrong. I paid a lot of money for this job and paid as soon as the work was done expecting it to be done properly since this is what he is in business to do. I have had a friend and a neighbor ask for a referral, but would never refer this company that will not make good on their work. Very disappointing. read more

What a great experience! You know the drill... Shared fence line falling down even after endless patch jobs, dogs getting out, and wondering "boy, it would be nice to have a nice new fence, but I'm tired of contractors" . Well this was different. On time, great job, speedy set, and great pricing was how my experience was with Housewright. I was fresh of a terrible experience with a house painting contractor when my fence decided to give up on me. I called Jay, and had a quote, references, and a timeline (which was faster than expected) within 24 hrs. My new fence looks great and the contractors were clean and experienced. I HIGHLY recommend this company and will definitely be back. I will never ever go anywhere else because there is no need. This is the best experience I have ever had with any builder. read more

Got my fence beautifully done last Friday and it transformed my back yard. I'm excited about the summer nights we will spend there now. Jay & his team were great and responsive. I couldn't be happier with their work and customer service! read more

The owner lives behind me. I thought I'd ask him for a bid along with 2 other companies. Someone else bid lower than him. Housewright's wife called the police on my worker claiming he didn't have a permit and that construction wasn't allowed on Sundays. I do have a permit and according to NRH, major projects can't take place on Sunday, but minor ones like fencework can--looks like they don't even know the codes in their own city. But instead of coming over and discussing in person, they vindictively call the cops. There are plenty of other fence contractors out there. Don't use this guy. read more

I was recommend this company and when I contacted them it took over 3 weeks to get a reply back from them. After 3 weeks I called asking if they had come by to do an estimate and I was told that the job was "too small" for them to do. I would not recommend them to anyone I know. read more

Jay and his team put up a rather tricky fence, handled all issues in a professional manner, and made everything right. He was very responsive, from inquiries through finish, and I appreciated his creative and tasteful thinking! I highly recommend him! read more
