Across eight years of customer reviews on file — the earliest quoted here from 2016, the most recent from 2023 — the name that keeps coming up is Wendell. Chipman Family Fence, Inc. is a Marshfield, MA fencing contractor that designs, installs and repairs residential chain link, aluminum, steel, wood, wrought iron and vinyl/PVC fences and gates, and also supplies fabricated fencing for self-installation across the South Shore, according to its own website. The Better Business Bureau lists it as an accredited business with an A+ rating, accredited since March 2018, and both Angi and HomeAdvisor show a 5.0-star average from 37 ratings each.
The written reviews describe the same pattern year after year: Wendell shows up, gives a firm timeline, and installs the fence he quoted. In a 2023 review, a homeowner described Wendell preparing a bid, giving project dates, and returning six months later to install a six-foot cedar privacy fence with two gates exactly as requested. In a 2022 review, a customer whose fence had been damaged by ocean storms said the crew returned within days after a later storm to fix the parts that hadn't fully set, calling both the work and the company's follow-through great. Earlier reviews, dated 2016 through 2020, describe the same responsiveness — quick to answer calls and texts, on-time arrivals, and installs completed close to the quoted timeline — across chain link, wood and vinyl fence jobs.
One Better Business Bureau review states that the owner personally answered an inquiry call — a detail worth noting for anyone who values reaching the person doing the work directly. Beyond that, nothing in the record raises a concern: the reviews run five-star almost without exception, with only two ratings slightly lower (4.5 and 4.7) in the mix.
For a straightforward chain link, wood or vinyl fence install, or a repair on an existing one, this is a well-established South Shore fencing company with years of reviewed work behind it; confirm current lead times when you call, since the reviewed jobs have ranged from a couple of weeks out to several months.
