Most fence installations in Acton, MA require a building permit from the Middlesex County building department.

AnyFence can help guide you through the permit process.

For Acton's New England climate with harsh winters and humid summers, we recommend cedar, vinyl, or aluminum fencing. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, lasting 15-20 years. Vinyl won't crack in freezing temperatures and requires minimal maintenance. Aluminum won't rust and handles snow loads well. All three materials perform excellently in Massachusetts weather conditions.

Most residential fence installations in Acton take 1-3 days depending on the project size and complexity. A typical 150-200 linear foot fence can often be completed in 1-2 days.
