Brockton Fence Co

Brockton Fence Co is a family-run fence company in Brockton whose owner, Charlie, is named in nearly every review customers write. Google shows 4.6 stars from 71 ratings and the Better Business Bureau lists the company as accredited with an A+ grade. A South Shore homeowner summed up the local reputation on Reddit in April 2026: "Brockton Fence is family run and does great work." The work is fence installation and repair in chain-link, vinyl, wood and ornamental, plus prep work, design and maintenance. Customers describe the whole range — six-foot vinyl privacy fences around large yards, aluminum fencing, black chain link, gates and double gates, and matching new sections into fence that is decades old. What comes up most is the quoting and the price. Homeowners who shopped around keep saying Brockton came in lowest or close to it: a customer in June 2026 said they contacted four other fence companies and Brockton was by far the best, and a reviewer in April 2026 called the pricing fair and the scheduling easy. In 2023 one reviewer wrote that Brockton was the lowest of many estimates and the fence was up within a week; another in 2025 said the quote was fair and highly competitive. Installers get named individually and praised by name — Jose, Bruno, Vinny and Rodrigo all appear in customers' own words. In August 2025 a reviewer described Jose working alone through a 90-degree day, hosing down the fence, smoothing the ground and coiling the garden hose before leaving. In May 2026 another credited Jose's levelling on challenging trees and terrain. Aftercare is the other consistent theme. Several customers describe the company returning free of charge after storms: a 2025 reviewer's gate blew off in high winds and Charlie came out personally with three options; a 2019 install was repaired at no cost after 2022 winds, and that same customer said a $900 deposit was refunded in full when they changed their mind. A 2023 reviewer got an email reply about a broken latch within twenty minutes. The complaints cluster in one place: getting a first answer. In October 2025 a homeowner said they were promised an estimate by week's end, called five times and got nothing; in December 2024 another reported a no-call, no-show consultation. The most serious entry is a 2022 review alleging a $1,300 deposit was cashed without the work being done, with the writer saying they had to file a court claim — and a 2021 reviewer, apparently writing from the inside, accused the owner of putting profit before quality. The last eight reviews, all from the past six months, are positive with no negatives among them. Ask for the estimate in writing with a date attached, and get deposit terms and the refund policy on paper before paying anything.
