Boston Pro Fence Inc

Boston Pro Fence advertises fencing — wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal and agricultural — but the permits pulled under its name tell a different story. All three on file are interior work: a $77,000 kitchen remodel in Brookline in 2023, a $27,000 basement bathroom remodel in Newton in 2021, and $10,000 of drywall repair after water damage in Billerica in 2024. That gap between the advertised trade and the inspected work is the first thing to ask about. The company runs out of 18 Fredrickson Rd in Billerica, phone (617) 970-2268, with Deocleciano Goncalves listed as owner. Its BuildZoom score of 95 sits high on that page, but the number is derived from permits and licensing rather than from customers, and BuildZoom states plainly it has received no reviews for this business. The licensing picture needs care because all of it is the directory's, not a registry check. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, #199803, and says it verified that active as of March 2026 — but prints no holder name against it. It separately lists licence #111945 twice, once as a Newton 'Building Contractor' and once as a Newton 'Residential Builder', both marked inactive with a note that the City of Newton showed the licence at one point cancelled. The page also carries a loose narrative claim that the company holds a HIC licence and two others. So: no homeowner has written about the work, the stated trade and the permit trail disagree, and the licence record is a directory bundle with cancelled entries in it. If you are calling them about a fence, ask directly whether fencing is still what they do, get registration #199803 confirmed against the state registry in the name of whoever signs your contract, and ask for two recent fence customers you can call.
