"The Best in Professional Deer, Coyote & Wildlife Abatement.” Specializing in Professional Deer, Coyote & Wildlife Abatement with minimal impact to the environment. Without using chemicals, we can drastically reduce the Tick population and your odds of getting Lyme Disease or other tick related problems.. PLUS all of your plants, flowers and shrubs will be 100% protected from deer damage. We do all sizes of properties. No Job is Too Big! --------------------------------------------------------------- After thousands of hours of field testing and many years studying deer habits we have come up with solutions which really work. We use several methods depending on how much control is wanted for your property and we fully explain the pros and cons of each method. Although a steel fence barrier can be the best overall choice in many cases, we know that there is not one universal solution for all families or properties. This allows us to recommend what is best for your particular budget and/or situation. First we need to find out what your requirements are, then we need to know how you use your yard and finally, we look at and analyze what the local Deer are doing on and around your property. Whether or not you decide on 100% exclusion by installing a fence or some lesser alternative, the Deer Patterns, Browsing Habits and Behavior in your area are very important in achieving true success. And if a fence is needed, most times it should not be put up just anywhere that it “SEEMS” good as this can lead to future breeches and a probable lack of control! We NEVER EVER just install a fence and go like most “Fence installers” do. If fact we are not fence installers per se, but rather true abatement specialists that look at all aspects of a combination of your needs, type of terrain, wildlife activity and local browsing habits to come up with the best solution for you. We come back often after it is closed off to check on your property as this greatly further helps us to better understand the deer which live around you. This way if any adjustments need to be made in the future we will not be guessing on what to do. Depending on the location and time of year, we will be there four plus times during the first week. Then two or three times a week for as long as needed - usually a month or two. And then around twice a month for another two or three months. Finally, for the remainder of the year at least once a month or more if required. This needs to be done for “ANY” fence or other solution used to keep deer out or away, as the Deer are adjusting to the fence line. The installer very often needs to know what has changed since the fence was installed so he can make adjustments if needed - now or in the future. Because of the above statements we DO NOT RELY on normal fence installation practices and methods to keep the deer out, as they MOST OFTEN simply don’t work. We always install the fence ourselves. There is always an owner/partner on the property at all times. We supervise and physically install every part of the deer fence - there is never an un-managed crew left behind to work without an owner/partner present. The bottom line is that anyone who says that the deer cannot be kept out is incorrect as long as the correct location is picked and the proper follow up AFTER the installation is adhered to. IF THIS IS NOT DONE FROM THE BEGINNING, WHATEVER BARRIER IS CHOSEN HAS A REAL CHANCE OF NOT WORKING AS NEEDED. This is why we always succeed were others often fail. We really care about the end result and that is why we have achieved great results over the years. We really keep the deer out and can greatly reduce ticks and your odds of getting Lyme Disease and/or other Tick related diseases on your property! We will soon offer ORGANIC Insect control.

"HASTIE FENCE installed this short 42-foot chain-link fence and this is what it looks like just one year later as it unravels. Do I recommend you use their company? Absolutely not, unless THIS is the quality you expect: 2 crappy end pieces woven together because this small job didn't matter to them. They would rather dump their trash on the small customer because they will just ignore those customers down the road. Guess they couldn't care less about those customers. I’ve called twice this week so far and have gotten NO RESPONSE except radio silence. Thanks for nothing HASTIE FENCE."

We are a small owner operated company, I Keith Kapusta, am onsite everyday doing the work myself, which keeps the quality high and price low. I'm also one of only a handful of registered professionals with Trex Decking. This means if I build your deck Trex itself backs my work with a 25 year warranty. You can see more information about this at Trex.com. I'm also licensed in CT and MA. My business is proud to hold an unrestricted license in MA. It is the highest license one can earn in this trade. This license puts me ahead of most builders in CT. That is because in CT there is not a test or any requirements to get a contractors license. It is as simple as sending the state a fee of $220.00 and they send you a license, allowing just about anyone at all to be a contractor in CT. In MA they require at least 3 years of on the job experience and a 5 hour test. I'm also licensed and fully insured and refuse to every let a client of mine be anything other then 100 percent thrilled with the work. I love what I do and it shows in my work.
"Keith did a great job helping us obtain the building permit, explaining the decking options, and designing the deck. The deck completely covers old concrete steps and makes entrance into our home much easier. Keith used Trex material for the deck, which is maintenance free; he negotiated a good deal with the supplier for the color which closely matched our other deck. He suggested a local electrician for us to consult about lights along the stairs. Keith communicated with us in a timely basis and we always knew his schedule. We would not hesitate to hire Keith again for another project."

"Don’t Do It! This has been the Worst experience I’ve ever had! The Spld North side Assist Manager informed me tonight after I told her I was reporting them to the Consumers Act “she didn’t care, she ready had one on her desk she was working on.” That’s A Quote! The Store Manager was standing beside her behaving in the same manner. After I had spent 24 hour, 9 different people ( including Store dept managers, Warehouse, and Corporate) hours of hold time and automated nonsense. I had walked in the store with a email from corporate that could have worked the whole thing out. They however Were So Disrespectful and Rude I told them to come get it all. I had ordered a stove, fridge, dishwasher. -Fridge had No handles, a dent, and scratches. Handles are no where to be found. Even though I bought it in Spfld it was shipped from Lebanon. Which means Spfld will not stand behind their sale at all, and you have to deal with a totally different store, warehouse, delivery. Ordered it Friday, delivery Monday Morning, Tuesday night Still no news or answers. - STOVE I was sold (and the reason I bought from them) a double oven stove for 775.00. Now I argued with the sales rep and told him it was more expensive but he assured me No it was on clearance with 20% off and I was getting a heck of a deal. When they delivered it was one door, totally wrong stove. NO one has been willing to make this right. First call- Dept Manager “ that’s a 1200 stove I don’t know what you want me to do about it” Second - Store Manager you would have to have the warehouse deal with it, they can do refunds and make it right. Third - Warehouse- it’s the stores problem we can’t order products. Fourth- 1st Corporate Customer Service “you need to calm down and be patient, this was remedied when my male husband got on… his tune changed. He made a replacement order. But it was the Same Stove they had already delivered! The wrong one Again! Fifth- Corporate Costumer support Supervisor Now she called the store. She emailed me the numbers that made it all come out even. All that had to be done was the Store decide to be helpful. (Many other calls were made to Lebanon because again fridge is a completely different store) When we walked in the Manager cut me off while talking and told me he didn’t want to hear it, he would get the Assist Manager I had talked to earlier. I informed him that didn’t matter I had a email from Corporate. He was rude and continued to tell me he wasn’t interested. Even the desk girls acknowledged he was rude. They continue to the office where they pull everyone back and have a pow wow. Then they came back, she came up to the counter sporting a RBF and massive attitude. I pulled myself together and asked if they could just be nice and try to help. She informed me they had been nice. I had said I was finished with Lowe’s so…. At that point I told them to pick up their appliances asap, I would be reporting them. She said “go ahead I already have one on my desk I’m working on. I replied you Deserve It I’m sure. Do Not Shop At Lowe’s!!! But Stay Away From N Springfield Lowe’s!!!!! Absolutely the Rudest Store, they Do not Stand by their word, Their Service is A Circus!!?"

A wood fence costs an average of $2,700 upfront while an aluminum fence costs about $4,610, making wood the less expensive option initially. That said, wood fencing demands regular upkeep to safeguard against bending, warping, rot, and pest damage, which increases long-term expenses significantly. Aluminum holds up with minimal upkeep, so it often balances out—or even beats—wood over the years.
The required fencing is determined by measuring your property’s perimeter and accounting for any obstructions or openings such as decks, driveways, and gates. Measure the overall border length and then subtract areas that do not require fencing. While you can map it out with a tape measure and some graph paper, a fencing pro can take precise measurements and confirm you’re ordering the right amount of material before installation begins.
Most metal fences last 20 to 50 years. The exact life span depends on the metal’s quality, how well the fence is installed, and how often you maintain it. Opting for premium materials and a skilled installer helps the fence shrug off weather and stay sturdy with only basic upkeep.
Electric fence repairs average about $200, but you could spend anywhere from $100 to $400. Your final bill hinges on how much damage there is, how complex the fence design is, and local labor rates. Most repairs cover both materials and labor to get the fence working—and safe—again.
