Professional Fence

My phone calls to this fence company to request a price quote for my front yard residential fence project were unanswered. Will not contact in the future.

I had obtained one other estimate. Lorenzo was recommended by a technician from our propane company. I called him up, he came over and we discussed what I wanted, then he walked the route the fence would take, and took measurements, and drew a diagram. We sat down at the kitchen table and he did some quick figuring and gave me a written total on the back of his business card (no fancy estimate form). We scheduled the installation date, and two workers showed up as promised, ready to begin. One had the diagram that was drawn by Lorenzo, but he had a hard time matching it up to the house, and understanding exactly what route the fence would take. Together we walked the route and got it figured out, and I was finally satisfied that he knew where the fence and gates were going (he didn't seem comfortable with English). There was a lot of brush (Manzanita and scrub oak) to cut through in order to clear a path for the fence. They took a couple of hours or so to clear the path, then dug all the holes with a two man power auger. They installed the posts in concrete, and finished up in the afternoon. Two days later they came to install the fence and gates. In the afternoon, Lorenzo joined them, so there were 3 guys working. They finished about 3:30 in the afternoon. Overall, they were quick and efficient, and the fence looks good. I'd say that Professional fence was good for my relatively simple backyard project, but I'm not sure I'd go with them for a larger, more complex project. $3300 seems like a lot to pay for a fence, but I checked on various websites to see what the average price per foot is, nationwide. My fence, including gates, worked out to about $11.25 per foot.

We received at least three different quotes. Professional Fencing came highly recommended and they provided the best estimates. They could start work right away. This crew was extremely flexible, adjusting for an easement that the municipality identified after the permit was applied for and adjusting for changes a neighbor wanted (we were enhancing a shared fence). They did both things without any negative impact to schedule or cost. The team was punctual, friendly and professional. We are very impressed with the end product and will hire them again if needed.

Our overall experience with them was good.
