James Patrick Fence works out of Weatherly Drive in Salem, on the North Shore. What is publicly known about it comes down to a single comment. In a June 2025 r/northshore thread from someone gathering fence quotes, the poster had bids from three companies including James Patrick, and said that of all the fences they had been driving past, "James's consistently look the best by far to me" — rating the other local outfits below it. The same person added that James Patrick's quote came in the most expensive by quite a bit, and they went with a cheaper bidder. So: a compliment about visible workmanship from someone who compared the local field closely but never became a customer, paired with a plain note that the price was the highest on the table. That is worth something, and it is not the same as an account of a finished job. If the look of the fence is what matters most to you, this is a company to get a number from. Ask for addresses of recent installations nearby that you can drive past yourself, and have the quote itemised — posts, gates, materials — so you can see exactly where the difference against a cheaper bid sits.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from James Patrick Fence. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Walk the line and pace it off — a pace is about 3 feet.

“Got quotes from Boston, JC, and James Patrick. Driving around I’ve seen a lot of Boston, reliable, patriot and James Patrick. James’s consistently look the best by far to me, patriot and Boston seem comparable, reliable is pretty consistently the worst look to me. James’s quote was the most expensive by quite a bit. Boston’s quote was reasonable, but JC beat it. They also used pounded posts instead of digging (they drive a metal post about 6-8 feet into the ground and then fit the vinyl post over it), which should be much sturdier and less susceptible to frost heave. It was also way faster. We”
