A broken gate was the complaint in a January 2024 review of Advanced Fence Co: the customer said the company installed a fence at their house and its gate broke within a year. They criticized both craftsmanship and customer service. The Canton company describes itself as family-owned and operated and advertises residential and commercial fence design and installation in wood, vinyl, ornamental, chain-link, and other styles. A November 2021 customer described a different result. Jim replaced their aging three-pole split-rail cedar fence with what they called a faithful replica of the original. The same customer said he repaired a pressure-treated stockade fence damaged by hurricane winds so that the repaired section was difficult to distinguish, then strengthened and stabilized the remaining five sections. They praised the materials, workmanship, and attitude. Google's headline rating is 2.8 stars from five ratings. The written accounts date from 2021 and 2024, with the later customer reporting the gate failure and dissatisfaction with service.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Advanced Fence Co. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Walk the line and pace it off — a pace is about 3 feet.

They put up a fence at our house and the gate to it broke within a year. Poor craftsmanship and customer service.
Excellent quality of work, excellent quality of materials, and excellent attitude!!! One section of my 40-year old 3-pole split rail cedar fence just fell over this summer and I knew the entire thing was going to need replacement. The cedar fence Jim installed is a faithful replica of the original and is exactly what I wanted. But Jim’s ability to repair my pressure-treated stockade fence, which was significantly damaged by hurricane winds, demonstrates his skillful craftsmanship. If I didn’t know which part of the fence had been literally blown apart, I wouldn’t be able to pick out the repaired section. Jim also strengthened and stabilized the remaining 5 sections. His work is so remarkable that I don’t think I’ll have to worry about either fence for another 50 years! Thanks so much, Jim!!!
