J.C. Fence Company

J.C. Fence Company works North Shore yards with two things reviewers keep repeating: they show up fast, and they come back if something's off. This Middleton company says it's a third-generation, family-run fence business that's served the Massachusetts North Shore and Southern New Hampshire since 1972, though the corporate entity behind it, JC Fence Company, Inc., is registered with the Better Business Bureau as started in 2004 under president Matthew Chiaradonna. The recent run of jobs backs that up. This spring, a crew put up a fence around an oddly shaped backyard in just two days and kept the homeowner updated the whole way, with a special mention for Jaanika in the office. Another customer noticed a small gap in a newly installed fence and had it filled in within two days, no argument needed. A third worked with the crew to satisfy a local historic commission's design requirements before the fence went up. The same names keep showing up as the reason people are happy: Matt walking customers through options and pricing, Colby writing detailed proposals, and Bob leading install crews that finish clean and on schedule. There's also a side of the business that surprises people who only know them for fencing: a seasonal plowing division, JC Fence Snow, that clears residential driveways through the winter and checks in with customers before each storm about whether to come out. It's drawn its own run of five-star notices from customers who've hired the crew two winters running. The broader numbers hold up that recent pattern rather than standing apart from it: 70 reviews collected between 2021 and 2026 across four sources land at a 0.87 sentiment score, and Google alone shows a 5.0-star average from 100 ratings. The BBB gives the company an A+ letter grade, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business — nothing on its BBB page suggests that matters much, since no complaints or reviews show up there either. One thing worth asking about directly: the founding-date gap. If a "since 1972" legacy matters to you, ask how that connects to the 2004 corporate start date on file with the BBB — it's likely an earlier family operation formalized later, but the company doesn't explain the gap itself. For anyone in the North Shore or Southern New Hampshire corridor who wants a custom vinyl, wood, or aluminum fence handled by named people who own their mistakes, J.C. Fence is a reasonable call — just confirm your quote, gate specs, and timeline in writing before the crew is scheduled.
