Sweezey Fence Erectors

Sweezey Fence Erectors has been at 233 Bedford Street in Whitman since 1969 — a father-and-son yard that also sells over the counter, and the fence company South Shore neighbours name when someone asks. The Better Business Bureau records the LLC with 15 employees under partner Kenneth P. Sweezey Jr., and the range runs well beyond fencing: dog kennels, sheds, mailboxes, lamp posts, equestrian fencing, arbors, pool-security enclosures and dumpster surrounds. Price is the single loudest theme in its favour. A 2023 customer who was quoted between $9,000 and $20,000 elsewhere paid just under $6,000 here and said the finished fence looked fantastic; a 2024 reviewer called it cheaper than anywhere else on the South Shore. Speed comes up almost as often — an August 2025 customer watched one installer take down a rotted 30-year-old fence and put up a solid cedar replacement between 9am and 5pm, and a June 2025 customer had a pool-code fence up quickly and cleanly. The complaints are about what happens afterwards, and they are specific. A May 2025 reviewer said their fence had fallen over within a year. A March 2024 reviewer said a September 2023 fence was falling down and rotten within six months, that the company came out and apologised, and that a $350 bill then arrived without the repair being done. A 2021 reviewer said a fence began swaying within two months and the company stopped replying once a fix was raised, and another 2021 reviewer said a deposit was never refunded. Google's 3.5 stars from 31 ratings is an honest summary of that split, and the split is not chronological — five of the last six months' reviews are five-star, and one is a flat "worst install ever". A Reddit commenter in an April 2026 South Shore fence thread said they had used Sweezey for several projects and always had a good experience. If you want a well-priced, fast fence from a long-established local yard, this is a real option and the counter side of the business gets consistent praise.
