1st Choice Fence

1st Choice Fence is a West Boylston fencing contractor operated by John Christopher as a sole proprietorship. Directory profiles describe seven years in business, residential and commercial fence work, and chain-link, wood, vinyl/PVC, aluminum, ornamental and gate installation or repair; Angi and HomeAdvisor also list free estimates, emergency service and warranties. The broader review record is mostly positive and spans 2021–2026. Customers repeatedly praise punctual crews, clear explanations, careful installation, cleanup, responsiveness and finished fence quality. Reviews describe vinyl privacy, chain-link, wood, aluminum, post-and-rail and automatic-gate projects, including projects completed on schedule and within or near the quoted budget. HomeAdvisor reports 4.8 stars from 59 ratings, Thumbtack 4.9 from 8, and Google 4.8 from 16. There is one substantial caution to resolve directly. A June 2023 Google reviewer reported debris left behind, cut-off metal poles left in the yard, gaps that allowed a dog through and fence sections several inches above ground, and said the company did not stand behind the work. A separate BBB note references a heavily redacted materials dispute, so ask for written cleanup, grading, gap and warranty commitments before work begins. 1st Choice Fence appears suited to homeowners seeking common residential fence materials and gates, with a substantial documented track record. Confirm the exact materials, removal and disposal plan, ground clearance, gate hardware, start date, insurance, license status and warranty remedy in the contract.
