Patriot Fence Crafters

Patriot Fence Crafters, out of Danvers, has one of the largest review footprints of any North Shore fence installer — 146 reviews across eight platforms since 2017, and the pace hasn't slowed: 11 landed in just the last six months, only one of them negative. Ryan, Keith, and Drew come up by name across years of reviews as the estimators and project leads, with crews under names like Felipe, Wesley, and Nestor doing the installs. What people describe is a crew that handles hard sites fast. One 2026 review recounts a 512-foot fence built in two days during a snowstorm, with a team of eight running snowblowers and jackhammers to break frozen ground; others describe steep, rocky, or tree-covered lots finished in a day or two with the line coming out straight. Google puts them at 4.7★ from 142 ratings, Best Pick Reports has them at 4.9★ from 87, Angi at 4.6★ from 55, and BBB grades them A+ and accredited. The friction that does show up centers on two things. First, follow-through after the initial estimate: reviews dated 2021, 2022, and as recently as March 2026 describe a rep visiting, being pleasant, and then simply not calling back with a quote. Second, a cluster of 2024-2025 Reddit posts describes work that needed redoing — one detailed account says a fence line the homeowner had surveyed and staked themselves came out badly out of square, 4-5 feet off in two corners, and took three attempts to fix, and another says a different fence company was hired just to correct Patriot's work. A Best Pick Reports account separately describes a wrong rail hidden behind a tree that took the better part of a year to get corrected. None of that shows up much in the last several months of reviews, which read like the installs described above — fast, clean, and well-communicated. For a straightforward fence job, the volume backs them; just get a firm callback commitment on the estimate, and confirm the crew will work from your stakes, not their own read of the property line.
