Abbey Fence & Deck Co., Inc., boasting one of the area’s largest and most versatile facilities, has been serving metropolitan Baltimore with pride for over 70 years. Family owned and operated, our guaranteed workmanship has added distinction – privacy – and security to thousands of homes, businesses, government and industrial sites. Prior to 1985, Abbey Fence Co., Inc. concentrated predominately on residential fencing. In October 1985, Fritz Fence, a well known and respected company in the commercial and industrial market, was acquired. It was a perfect fit and today, Abbey Fence & Deck Co., Inc. remains dedicated to providing quality materials, labor and professional service at competitive prices. Abbey Fence & Deck Co., Inc. is a member in good standing of the American Fence Association and the Associated Builders and Contractors Inc. We are extremely proud of our charitable endeavors as well. Materials have been donated to Grant-A-Wish Foundation at Johns Hopkins, the Ronald McDonald House and the Compassion Center in College Park, MD.

"We contracted Winkler Deck and Fence to replace 4 gates and perform minor repairs on our existing fence after receiving a referral. The initial engagement with the owner Curt was pleasant, the quote we received was reasonable, and the job started 8 weeks after we signed the contract. Unfortunately, that’s where the good ended… On the day of the job, the crew didn’t let us know they were onsite, which wasn’t a good start. Then after the work was completed they left without notifying us that the job was done nor doing a walkthrough with us. The next day we looked over the work and noticed that two of the installed gates were not level and were substantially tilted to one side. We contacted their office manager, Tammy, who stated that the owner Curt would stop by the following day to review the issues. Curt was a no-show and after following up with Tammy she stated he would stop by the next day instead. He was again a no-show. We once again followed up and asked for a specific day and time that they would come out so that we didn’t have to miss work again and never received a response… The following weekend Curt finally showed up unannounced and without notice and never apologized for the no-shows. He then immediately asked in a defensive tone “What’s your problem with the gates?”. We explained the issue and he tried to blame it on the previous fence builder. We stated that the previous gates were level and installed correctly and he replied “Well then what do you expect, this was a repair job”. Uh ok… I expect properly built and installed gates, per our contract. He finally agreed that one of the gates should be rebuilt after initially denying it had issues and said he would try to reposition the other gate to reduce the slant, but he clearly was not happy about doing the work. Also, after providing feedback on the crew’s disappearing act he stated “We have bigger jobs than this that are more important”. When I stated I couldn’t recommend them to others due to their lack of customer service, he walked off and barked “We have plenty of other work in this area so I’m not worried about it”. Wow… A simple apology would have gone a long way… Ultimately they did fix the gates and followed up to see if we were satisfied. However, based on our overall experience I would not recommend this company due to their lack of basic customer service, lack of basic respect for their customers, and shoddy workmanship. Also, they clearly don’t value smaller jobs, which is a bad move on their part because they lost future business with me as well as my neighbors who asked about my experience."

Excel is a family owned and operated company based in Harford County. We have been in business for 25 years. As a full service fencing and decking company, we provide the most competitive prices with the highest quality products in the area. We pride ourselves greatly on customer satisfaction. This isn’t just an idle boast; we never consider the job complete until you’re 100% satisfied.

"I wish all businesses were as easy, pleasant, and honest to deal with as Excel. I wanted to expand an existing vinyl fence and add two gates. The Project Coordinator at Excel listened to what I wanted and made some suggestion, but did not try a hard sell for goods or services. He explained in detail what the work crew would do and how the fence would be installed. Out of all the companies I contacted Excel was the only one to provide a written estimate. The price was reasonable and comparable to what other companies were quoting. The workers who responded to install the fence and gates were great. It was obvious they worked together in the past and were comfortable with each other. The supervisor went over everything with me before they started the job. He explained in detail what they would be doing. After the job was done the supervisor walked around the entire project with me, while explaining again what they did and answered questions. They definitely made sure I was happy with everything before they left. Another thing worth mentioning is their office and administrative staff. I made a point to stop by their office one day before the project. I believe the way an office appears and is run tells a lot about a business. Excel has a nice, clean office with very friendly and professional staff. A live person answers their phone, instead of getting an automated message, prompting you to press a number. It was a great experience from beginning to end. I will definitely use Excel for future projects."

"I was impressed by the results that the team that build our new deck (John K., Teo, Fernando, and Lester) produced. They accurately followed the agreed upon design, adapting professionally as necessary to any surprises they encountered, ultimately designing and building a deck that exceeded my expectations. It's beautiful and sturdy - and construction itself took only 2 days, from start to finish! Our family and neighbors have already complimented it without solicitation, and I won't hesitate to recommend Fence & Deck Connection to my friends, neighborhood, and family as a result of the efforts of the team that I named here!"

FAQs for barbed wire fence installation projects in Cockeysville, MD

For a 200-foot wire fence installation, expect to pay between $200 and $2,000, depending on your selected materials and complexity. Entry-level options, such as bare barbed wire or field fencing, range from $200 to $700, while premium products featuring thicker gauges or protective coatings can cost $800 to $2,000. Self-installation can reduce your overall expense by half, though you'll need to factor in equipment rentals if you don't already own specialized fencing tools.

Wire fencing offers substantial cost advantages over wood, with wire fence installations ranging from $1 to $10 per linear foot compared to wood's $15 to $30 per linear foot. Beyond initial installation savings, wire fencing requires less ongoing maintenance, further reducing lifetime ownership costs. The trade-off lies between privacy and aesthetic appeal, as wood offers more visual screening and traditional charm. Your selection should strike a balance between budget considerations and your specific needs for privacy, appearance, and functionality.

Among wire fencing options, barbed wire represents the most economical choice, ranging from $1.25 to $3.50 per linear foot installed. Standard woven wire or field fencing offers another budget-friendly alternative at $1.50 to $6 per linear foot. For residential applications where barbed wire isn't appropriate, consider chicken wire starting at $2 per linear foot. To maximize affordability, compare quotes from multiple contractors, consider off-season installation timing, and identify which preparation tasks you might handle yourself to reduce professional labor requirements.

A professional fencing crew can complete a standard residential wire fence installation within one to three days. More extensive projects or properties with challenging terrain features may require five to seven days or longer. Installation timelines vary based on the complexity of the fence type, the number of access points, weather conditions, and unforeseen ground obstacles. DIY installations progress at a significantly slower pace, often taking two to three times longer than professional work, especially for first-time fence builders lacking specialized equipment and experience.
