Timothy Briand

Tim Briand Fencing is a small fence outfit working out of southern New Hampshire — the listing address is 77 Elm Street in Nashua, while the company describes itself as serving the Milford area — and it puts up chain link, vinyl and PVC, aluminum or steel, and wood fences, with free estimates. The ratings look strong: 4.9 from 11 reviews, 91% of them five stars. The catch is when they were written. Every one of those reviews landed between 2016 and 2018, and Angi and HomeAdvisor carry the same set rather than two separate histories, so a decade-old snapshot of one dataset is the whole picture. The company says it has 10 years of experience. One caveat sits inside that history: a job where the final price came in above the estimate once conditions underground turned out worse than expected, which that customer still called fair. Useful to know if you already have a name and a recommendation from a neighbor — the older reviews consistently describe careful work and clear communication. But nothing here tells you how the business runs today. Ask when they last did a fence like yours, get the estimate in writing with a clause covering what happens if the post holes hit rock or old concrete, and ask for references from the past year rather than relying on this record.
