Very good job. New gates were far better than the previous onesthat were on the old fence. Especially like that the new latches were easy to block for safety. Also walked around the existing old fence (plan to have them back to replace the rest of fence) and double checked for loose boards.
Description of Work: Replaced Fence.

I initially had a little bit of a delay with scheduling the work -- apparently due to unseen circumstances. But I am so glad I waited because the team came on a Friday and were finished in 5 days (that included time for the posts to set) and the fence is fabulous, secure and looks much nicer than I had envisioned. They were efficient, professsional and cleaned up the jobsite after they were finished. I would definitely use them again and would recommend to friends. Ask for Clark.
Description of Work: Installed 187 linear feet of 4' high dog-eared picket fence with two gates. Constructed of pressured-treated pine.

O Jay was excellent. They were quick to come out and do the work after the estimate and contract. It took two days and I had exactly the fence I envisioned. Excellent service, polite workmen, great fence and finally great price.

Difficult to schedule, difficult to get estimate. Final product was OK but uninspiring. The person that handles the office is very professional and responsive. They were not interested in performing the work on a day/time that was convenient for the customer. It was all about their schedule. They could not be even a little bit flexible for meeting you to provide an esitmate--so I could be home and ask questions nor be home when they did the repair. They could not let you know more the night before that they would be at your home the next morning. That was it-- if you had a meeting at work the next morning--too bad--you go to the back of the line if you don't them come on. It is not the company they were years ago where they valued their customers and provided some customer service.

It didn't go. They can't do tbe work if they never follow up
Description of Work: I had a small chain link fence job to be done. I talked to them on 4 separate occasions trying to get someone to come out and look at it to give me an estimate. I was never given an appointment. It was always ” we'll try to get out there in a couple of days and give you an estimate” Maybe if I had a 10,000 dollar job they'd have been all over it. Bottom line, if they cared about their reputation, they'd stand behind their word. I'm here to tell you, it ain't worth squat.

The job performance was excellent. Although there were challenges and details to worked-out on the job, O.Jay Fence was on top of the situation even before we asked the pertinent questions. And when we questioned what the additional costs would be when there was a miscommunication on the specifications for the height of the fence, O.Jay Fence did not charge extra for the additional labor. Rahman Owens is a man of integrity. You can trust what he says he will do and how he will do it. The installation crew is highly experienced and hard working. They are fun to watch because they don't let any complication in the job slow them down. When presented with a challenge, they study it, attack it, and overcome it with professional results.
Description of Work: We had an unusual requirement for a fence contractor. One of our cats has a highly communicable disease which requires that he be protected from contact with other neighborhood animals. Although that in itself would normally present no problem (just keep him indoors) he has always been an outdoor pet, along with our other indoor/outdoor pets. We needed a way to allow our pets to have protected access to the back yard, still be able to use the existing pet door, and not wonder off or be approached by other outdoor animals lest they too become infected with the disease. We hired O.Jay Fence Company to build us a chain link enclosure complete with eight foot high fencing and gates, a chain link top, built around our existing shade trees (to allow our cats to climb), and a 3' x3' x40 foot long "catwalk" bridge from our second story back door with the pet door insert. I say bridge because our driveway runs between the new fenced enclusure and the house. So the catwalk is 12 feet in the air over our driveway. O.Jay Fence did a beautiful job constructing the enclusures! They could honestly say that they had never had a homeowner request such a structure, even though they had completed several such enclosures for local zoos and veterinary clinics. Everyone that sees it calls us insane (whether they mean it or not), but the neighbors love it and appreciate our devotion to our pets. The owner and manager of O.Jay Fence, Rahman Owens, is a joy to work with and very professional. Even his employees have nothing but good things to say about him , which means a lot in today's business world. The workers were all friendly, courteous, and hard working, especially Del, the foreman. We could not be happier with our new pet enclosure, nor with the work that was done to complete it. We highly recommend O.Jay Fence Company to all who are looking for a professional, easy-to-work-with fence contractor.

Called for an estimate on Dec. 28 and set up an appointment for 12:30 the following day. I gave the representative my cell phone number and asked him to call me 15-20 minutes prior to his arrival so I could leave work and meet him at my home. The next day, I hadn't heard from the company but I went ahead and left my office just in case. I arrived at 12:25 and waited for about 10 minutes and happen to notice a business card stuck in my door. Turns out the rep showed up at noon instead of 12:30 and had my cell phone number written down incorrectly. I called him and he wanted to reschedule. It wasn't convenient to leave work again, so he agreed to just come back the following day, take a look and simply leave the estimate in my mailbox. The next evening I went down to check the mail and found no estimate. After the weekend, I called the rep again and he said "I dropped the ball, sorry" and "I have those numbers back at my office and once I get all the crews out I'll just call you with the figures." I told him that was fine and I would wait for his call. The day comes and goes and no call. Summary: Can't get appointment time right, can't get phone number right, promises estimate twice and does not provide. A complete waste of my time and theirs and a bad indicator of their service. Will not bother the company again.
Description of Work: Contacted company to provide an estimate for an 8-foot privacy fence to be erected between my home and the neighbors.
