Olympic Fence Co is a family-owned fence installation and repair company based in West Newbury, Massachusetts, serving the North Shore and Merrimack Valley — including Newburyport, Amesbury, Salisbury, Haverhill, Beverly, North Andover, Newbury, Groveland, and Seabrook. The company describes itself as a second-generation, family-run business, founded by David LaPierre and now run by James LaPierre, and installs wood, chain-link, and other fencing for homes, businesses, and municipalities.
Every review found for the company — 15 on Google spanning 2022 through 2026 — is five stars, and reviewers consistently single out direct, responsive communication with James LaPierre by name. Several describe him meeting on-site multiple times to work through material, design, and placement before a crew starts, and multiple reviewers mention repeat business or plan to call again for future projects.
The completed jobs described in reviews go beyond straightforward backyard fencing: one reviewer describes a wood-fence installation where the crew coordinated city approval and DigSafe utility marking and worked through unexpected underground rock; another credits James with proactively contacting the local conservation commission to confirm compliance before installing a residential fence. On the commercial side, one review describes a dumpster-gate repair for a local inn, and another describes a chain-link fence installed at a child-care center. Repair work also comes up repeatedly — reviewers describe fast, quality fixes after a tree fell on a fence and ongoing maintenance on a fence the company didn't originally install.
The Better Business Bureau lists the business with an A+ grade, though it is not BBB-accredited, and Google shows a 4.8-star average from 22 ratings. Activity has stayed recent and positive — six reviews in the past six months, none negative — and the company states it has belonged to the American Fence Association since 2025.
One thing worth confirming directly: the company's own site describes it as family-owned since 1985 with 40-plus years of experience, but the Better Business Bureau's own record lists this specific business entity as started in 2006. That gap is plausible as a second-generation ownership transition — the site itself describes David LaPierre founding the company and James LaPierre now running it — but homeowners who want the exact history should ask directly. For anyone in the North Shore or Merrimack Valley needing wood, chain-link, or commercial fencing — installation, repair, or a project that needs town permitting handled — the review record points to a small, hands-on crew that communicates well and stands behind its work.
