Fence Installation & Ironwork in Greater Boston

A fence is only as good as its posts. Set them too shallow in New England and frost heave leans the whole line within a few winters. We set posts deep and build fences — wood, vinyl, or iron — that stay straight and true.

VB Construction installs fencing and handles ironwork across Greater Boston. Whether you want privacy, security, a safe yard for kids and pets, or curb appeal, we install wood, vinyl, and iron fencing built on a sound foundation — posts set below the frost line and properly secured so the line stays straight through years of freeze and thaw.

We also repair ironwork: iron gates that have dropped or stick, railings that have rusted or loosened, and damaged sections of iron fence. Restoring an iron gate or railing keeps the character of an older Boston property while making it safe and functional again.

From a backyard privacy fence to a front-yard iron rail, we handle layout, permits where required, post setting, and installation so the finished fence does its job and looks the part.

Fencing and ironwork extend our exterior and property work out to the edges of your property.

Posts set for New England winters

Frost heave is what topples fences here. We set posts below the local frost line and secure them properly so the ground cannot lift and lean them over the winter. On a fence, that single detail is the difference between a line that still stands straight in ten years and one that is leaning by spring.

Questions

Fencing & Ironwork FAQs

Do I need a permit or to confirm my property line for a fence?

Many Boston-area communities regulate fence height and placement, and some require a permit. Knowing your exact property line matters too. We will check local requirements for your project, and for boundary-critical fences a survey is worth having before we set posts.

Can you repair an old iron gate or railing instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. Iron gates and railings on older Boston homes are usually worth restoring — re-securing, repairing rusted or damaged sections, and getting a dropped gate swinging true again. We will tell you honestly when repair makes sense and when replacement is the better value.
