Palermo & Sons Fence Co

Ask around the North Shore for a fence company and Palermo & Sons comes up by name — two separate Reddit threads recommended them directly when neighbors asked. The Danvers company is a sole proprietorship run by Paul Palermo, family-owned per its own site, in business more than 30 years (BBB puts it at 34), and it says it never subcontracts the work out. Recent reviews describe a fence repair or replacement completed to the customer's satisfaction and a project chosen after comparing several detailed quotes covering install, perimeter, and commercial-grade materials, finished within the promised timeframe. Further back, the pattern holds across dozens of jobs: a 2024 review described a vinyl fence installed quickly despite a challenging yard, with Paul honoring his original quote exactly; another 2024 reviewer was struck that the gardens along the fence line were left in perfect condition after the work was done; and a 2024 review from a customer who'd used Palermo for over 20 years described a recent vinyl fence installed on time and on budget. One 2024 review described years of small repairs to an inherited 40-year-old cedar fence before eventually replacing it with vinyl, always at the quoted price. There's nothing negative on file — no complaints, no disputed jobs — across 27 reviews and two independent Reddit recommendations. For a fence installation or repair in the Danvers/North Shore area, Palermo & Sons is a well-corroborated, low-risk call; the only real caveat is that it's a one-person operation, so scheduling around a single installer's calendar is worth asking about up front.
