I had Smucker Fencing install a fence on a retaining wall. They did a good job with the installation and were very professional from the estimate until the job was finished. Would definitely recommend this company for your fencing needs.

I'm extremely pleased with the work done by Smucker Fencing, specifically Alan and his team. They were so fast, polite, professional, and friendly. They kept me updated on what was going on in the yard and they made sure they had my approval after painting the grass, before they started actually building. The price I was quotes was far better than the competition.Leading up to the actual build, John and Ben were very responsive. I never went more than a day before getting a response from John, and never more than a couple days without a response from Ben. I will say, I felt kind of in the dark at some points - they didn't let me know that they had gotten one call approval, and they scheduling was a little confusing. That being said, I'd hire Smucker Fencing again and again.

These guys are very professional, hard working, kind and courteous! I highly recommend using this company. The guys were great to talk to and they were very respectful and actually quiet while they worked. They kept us informed of everything too. We love our new fence and our dogs love it too ! Thank you Smucker Fencing !

Just had our second fence installed from Smucker Fencing and couldn’t be happier! Amazing craftsmanship - this one was built all on site and we are now the proud owners of a 6 ft cedar privacy fence. The price for the quality and time to instal can’t be beat! We have already gotten complements from all our neighbors.

What a great experience working with Smucker Fencing. We went to their showroom in Honeybrook and met with John, the owner. Enjoyed looking at the myriad of choices they had before finally going with the commercial grade aluminum fencing.Their team kept us informed with prompt scheduling. When the first day of install had to be moved a day, we received a prompt call apologizing and giving us a firm commitment.Matt, the team foreman, and his team arrived promptly at their scheduled time of 7 am. Professional, courteous and hard working. They first removed our old fencing and then installed almost 400 feet of fencing and 3 gates including one double-wide gate.Each post was installed in concrete with meticulous care insuring all was level. Our property has several slopes and elevation changes. Each section was leveled an is pleasing to the eye. Compared to our previous fence the difference is incredible. The self closing hinges on the gates were perfect as we use our yard to keep our dogs when they go outside. No escapes from gates inadvertently left open.In just over 2 days they had completed the fence removal and installation.So glad we went with the commercial grade aluminum fencing. More sturdy and robust. The matte black finish is stunning.Thank you, John and a special thanks, to Matt and his installation team.
