Customers almost never call this business by its name - they call it Junior. Across two dozen written accounts spanning 2024 to 2026, the owner (variously written Junior, Jr and Yunior) is the one doing the work, and the jobs run from privacy fences and multi-level decks down to mounting a bookcase to a wall. The work people describe is genuinely varied. A homeowner writing in May 2026 listed a single engagement that covered refurbishing a 28x18 deck, replacing sections of post-and-rail fence, cutting down four trees, ordering and loading the dumpsters, re-covering a portable garage and refurbishing a deteriorating bow window - and said the crew did several small things at no charge. A 2024 customer described replacing a complex three-level wooden deck that needed many different cuts, plus an extra railing. Another in 2025 had a surround designed and built for an electric fireplace and four rooms painted. Two separate 2024 reviewers described a dilapidated 10x20 shed rebuilt to look new, one naming the rotted fascia, broken doors, entrance ramps and spotlights that were repaired. Responsiveness comes up as often as craftsmanship. A 2024 repeat customer said he always calls straight back and shows up on the day he says he will; a 2025 customer whose mailbox had been hit by a car said he made an extra trip to re-buy materials and did not charge for the time. The one real complaint is about money, not workmanship. A 2024 reviewer was happy with the work itself but said gutter cleaning and a faucet installation were charged as expensive extras, and that he paid for eight hours against roughly four hours on site - his point being that the scope should be spelled out up front. That is the thing to settle in writing before you book: exactly which tasks are inside the quoted price and how time is billed. Ratings sit at 4.7 out of 5 from 56 ratings, with 91 percent at five stars and 4 percent at one. Those two directory profiles mirror each other - the same reviews appear on both - so treat them as one source rather than two. This is a strong fit for fencing, deck and shed work and for a long punch-list of small jobs, provided you agree the scope and the hourly terms in advance.

    Junior did great work fixing up my 10x20 Shed. Junior is courteous and professional. I appreciated his communication on the project status through completion, requesting that I perform a final review of the Shed before closing the project.

    junior started exactly on time every day & worked late if rain was forecast the following days. He did exactly what we wanted & made suggestions that we agreed to. Work was impeccable. He & his employees were polite & the work they did was worth every dollar we spent. They did several minor things for no charge. He is now our go-to guy when we need things done. There is nothing he and his employees cannot do. Refurbished our 28x18 deck. Replaced many sections of our post & rail fence. Opened our pool. Cut down 4 trees. Cut them up. Cut up our 50 year old tree house that fell. Ordered the dumpsters & loaded them. Replaced the deck furniture. Put the cover & curtains on the gazebo. Removed deteriorated cover on portable 10x20 portable garage & installed new one. Cleared leaves from greenery in front of house & planted 3 new arborvitae. Refurbished our deteriorating bow window. He & his crew are Amazing!!!

What does a fence cost in Greater Boston?

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from JR Carpentry. 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.

Estimated range

$4,050 – $7,950

Typical fencing project around $6,000
