Richard Garofano Landscape and Fence

Richard Garofano has been putting up fences on the South Shore for a long time — BBB has the Braintree business on file since 1998 and lists it as a one-employee operation owned by Garofano himself. Fences are the whole catalogue: wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, even agricultural. In September 2011 a customer on BuildZoom described him as a local man who 'does excellent work for good prices'. That account is fifteen years old now, and BuildZoom's 5.0 comes from that one reviewer, whose comment is posted twice on the same day. The business trades under more than one name — BBB files it as Garofano Pressure Washing, with 'Richard Garofano Landscape and Fence' as an alternate — so be clear on the phone about which of those jobs you are hiring for. For a yard fence, a gate or a run of chain link in Braintree and the towns around it, a one-man shop that has been at it since the nineties is a sensible call. Get the line, the post spacing and the lead time in writing, ask for a current certificate of insurance, and ask to see a couple of nearby fences he has put in recently.
