Providing Customization, Quality, and Expert Guidance
AVO Fence & Supply stands out from big box stores in ways that truly matter for homeowners, contractors, and anyone looking to upgrade their property with lasting fencing solutions. This blog will dig deep into what makes us unique, from our personalized service and deep expertise to our commitment to quality materials and custom designs, which you can appreciate whether you’re a DIYer or a contractor.
The Human Touch: We Actually Care
Let’s be honest, big box stores can feel like a maze of endless aisles and wandering staff who may not know a fence post from a garden stake. At AVO Fence, you can expect a team that’s genuinely invested in your project. Walk into one of our showrooms, and you’ll find experts eager to help you design a fence that fits your property perfectly. Need advice on local codes? Wonder if your yard’s slope will mess up your fence line? AVO’s staff are partners in making your vision real. 
Customization: No Cookie-Cutter Fences
AVO specializes in custom fencing, whether you want a chic cedar picket, privacy vinyl, or ornamental options. Big box stores typically offer standard kits and mass-produced panels, which means your choices are limited to what’s on the shelf that day. At AVO, you can walk in with a sketch on a napkin and walk out with a plan for a fence unique to your home. We’ll help you pick materials, calculate quantities, and process custom orders, ensuring you don’t end up one panel short at the end of your installation. This personal attention is almost unheard of in chain stores, but it’s part of daily life at AVO.
Top-Shelf Materials: Quality You Can Feel
When it comes to fencing, material quality can be the difference between a beautiful border that lasts decades and a saggy eyesore you regret every time you step outside. Big box stores stock a wide range of products—and while convenience is nice, their fencing is often thinner, less durable, and mass-produced to hit budget price points. AVO is New England’s go-to source for eastern white cedar, a wood prized by pros for its strength, sustainability, and natural beauty. Our vinyl fence systems are also built for durability and long-lasting good looks. AVO’s inventory isn’t about what’s cheapest; it’s about what performs best, looks the best, and proves its value year after year.
Deep Experience: 50 Years and Counting
That’s right. We have over 50 years of fencing expertise backing every order. While big box employees may be enthusiastic, it’s rare to find staff with years of specialized fencing experience. AVO doesn’t just sell fences; we are a local institution trusted by generations of homeowners, contractors, architects, and property managers. Our collective knowledge means that when you have an odd property layout, tough soil, or tricky code requirements, you’re going to get advice that solves problems.
Customer Service: Old-Fashioned and Outstanding
Customers love that our staff takes the time to answer even small questions and make sure everything goes right. Need your order processed quickly? Want confirmation emails and help scheduling pick-up? At AVO, we make it happen. Our support doesn’t end when you swipe your card—if you need installation advice, material tweaks, or a referral to an approved installer, we’ll guide you from idea to completion.
Supporting DIYers and Pros: Everyone Feels Welcome
Unlike some suppliers that focus either on the homeowner or the contractor, AVO balances both beautifully. If you want to install your own picket fence or need supplies for a pool enclosure, we’ll supply you with quality products, not just the bargain bin stuff. If you’re a contractor? You’ll be greeted by people who understand timelines and tools, and have experience with our full inventory.
Price Without Surprises: Competitive and Transparent
You might assume big box stores always win on price. Not true when you factor in material quality and durability. AVO keeps costs competitive, and often beats the chain stores, especially on cedar products, thanks to our cedar mill in Howland, Maine. We buy fencing materials direct and pass the savings on, but we don’t sacrifice quality to do it. With AVO, you don’t discover hidden costs halfway through the project. Our team helps you calculate exactly what you need for the job, so you don’t overspend or find yourself making unplanned, expensive “fill-in” trips.
Sustainability and Local Pride
AVO doesn’t just sell lumber; we specialize in sustainable, locally sourced cedar from our own mill. Choosing our products helps support responsible forestry and keeps your dollars in the New England economy. Big box stores seldom tell you where their lumber comes from or how it’s harvested. It’s nice knowing your new fence is pretty, and a choice you can feel good about.
Our fences add curb appeal, hold up against rough New England weather, and make yards safe for dogs and kids. Whether it’s a privacy fence for the backyard, an elegant perimeter for a business, or a pool enclosure done right, customers trust AVO’s products to look good and last. Contractors stick with us year after year thanks to reliable service and consistent quality.
No-Nonsense Project Support: From Napkin Sketch to Final Fence
The best part about AVO? If you’re lost in your fence project—maybe you’re trying to measure your yard or dreaming up designs—we’ll walk you through it step by step. Want to see how a vinyl privacy fence actually looks in person before you buy? Swing by the showroom. Got a wacky request or a unique design idea? We’ll help you figure it out. Big box stores have their place if you a looking for “grab and go,” but when you want a fence you’ll love for years, you need real guidance.
