Fence replacement and substantial fence installations feature in Sentry Fence customers' dated accounts. In a July 2020 Google review, a customer said the crew removed an old fence and installed its replacement in about a day. They had initially been told the company was booked for months, then received a call offering an earlier start. Two customers writing in May and June 2023 praised pricing. The May reviewer described a huge fence project that Ray's team finished sooner than originally promised and thanked Ray and Brandon. The June reviewer said price, warranty and lead time influenced their choice, and that everything went smoothly. In a June 2018 review, another customer described Ray and an assistant cutting out large roots where posts needed to go, pouring cement around the posts and installing panels. An August 2017 complaint from Dawn Cardinal, who identified herself as founder of Destinys Road Animal Rescue, raised a serious concern about fence gaps. She reported six-to-eight-inch gaps at the bottom, said rescue dogs escaped and coyotes entered the yard, and alleged damage to an invisible fence. She also said repair emails had been ignored and a final email blocked, while the business sought payment of the balance. She threatened a court summons. Sentry describes itself on Houzz as locally owned and operated, with customers dealing directly with the owner. Its listed offerings include wood/stockade, chain-link, vinyl and ornamental aluminum fencing. Google lists 4.4 stars from 12 ratings. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration 169640 is registry-verified expired, with Raymond W. Marchand named as the holder of record. The company's website separately lists construction supervisor licence CS 085924 and states that it is insured; those are the company's claims.
