Olympic Fence Co Puts Its Lifetime Workmanship Warranty Front and Center for North Shore Homeowners

Olympic Fence Co, a family-run fence company based in West Newbury, MA, is putting its lifetime workmanship warranty front and center for North Shore homeowners who want a fence the people who built it will still stand behind years later. The company has held that standard across two generations of family ownership, which sets it apart from contractors who cover their work for only a year or two and then move on.

A Family Business Built on a Different Standard

David LaPierre founded Olympic Fence Co in 1985 on a simple belief: a fence should last, and the people who install it should stand behind it. More than four decades later, second-generation owner James LaPierre runs daily operations on the same principle. From its West Newbury base, Olympic serves Newburyport and the wider North Shore, working with residential and commercial customers who want straightforward work done right.

The lifetime workmanship warranty is not a line on a brochure. It reflects how the company has run since 1985. Most fence contractors in the region cover their workmanship for one to two years. Olympic covers its work for the life of the fence, which means James and his crew stay accountable for how every post is set, every panel is hung, and every gate swings.

The Problem With Wood Posts, and How Olympic Addresses It

One of the most common reasons a fence fails early is soil-line rot. Where a wood post meets the ground, it sits in constant moisture, and that contact zone breaks down faster than any other part of the fence. Once the base goes soft, the whole structure loosens.

Olympic addresses this with its signature no-dig wood-on-steel post system, built around galvanized steel posts in place of wood set in the ground. The approach targets the rot risk at its source instead of slowing it down with preservatives. It also supports the warranty in a practical way: fences built to last are less likely to bring the crew back for failure repairs, which keeps a lifetime promise realistic to honor.

Why Two Generations of Ownership Matters

When a homeowner calls a large franchise or a crew from outside the area, the person answering may have no tie to whoever does the work. With Olympic, the owner is often on the job site, and the reputation James is protecting is also his father’s.

That continuity tends to show up in how the work gets done and how the property is treated. Angela O., a verified Olympic Fence customer, put it this way: “We can’t say enough about this company’s professionalism, quality of work and materials. James answered all our questions and concerns and offered some very good solutions in a budget we could work with. His team could not have been more respectful of our property and left our yard in pristine condition.”

A family business with more than 40 years in the same region has a different kind of stake in getting it right. Contractors come and go; Olympic has stayed.

Olympic Fence Co serves residential and commercial properties across the North Shore, with fence installation in Newburyport and surrounding communities. The company works with cedar, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental aluminum and steel, applying the same post system and warranty standard across every product.
