His crew arrived on time, tore down the old fence and hauled it away. They installed galvanized steel posts and completed the fence installation in three days. It wasn't an easy job, because there was a tall hedge on one side and an existing steel mesh fence on another side. There were also tall galvinized steel sprinkler heads near the fence. But the crew managed to work around these obstacles and did a good job.
Description of Work: Carl arrived on time to provide two estimates: one to replace an existing fence and a second to replace a driveway gate. His fence estimate was the lower of two I received; so I went with his company and arranged an installation date.

Very smooth job. They called back quickly, came out and gave an estimate in a couple of days, and started work a week or so after that. The whole job took them 3 days.
Description of Work: Removed old broken fence, and put in and extended a new fence. It's beautiful work and they are very professional. We wanted to use them again to put in a wrought iron hand rail in front of our house, but sadly, due to construction on Coldwater, they won't be visiting our neighborhood for small jobs for many years.

We lost part of our fence in the wind storm at the end of November 2011. I called Carl Arentz of Foothill Fence for a quote shortly thereafter; although he was (understandably) very busy with quotes and jobs, he came out to give us a quote within a couple of days of my call. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We decided (along with our neighbor who shares the fence) to replace the entire length of the fence (approx. 100 lf), not just the destroyed portion. Carl's estimate for the entire job (redwood planks with metal posts) was very reasonable. The job started on time on the scheduled start date; the crew, including Carl's brother, was friendly and very good. They finished the demolition (removal of the rest of the destroyed old redwood fence, a lattice portion, and a chain-link portion) in less than half a day and started the construction. They finished the fence by the end of the second day. They cleaned up at the end of both days. The finished fence is gorgeous and so sturdy; in fact, we are having very strong winds today (2/16/12) and the fence is completely stable and secure. I cannot recommend Foothill Fence highly enough. We are planning to put in a gate across our driveway in the next few months and Carl and the crew will be doing the work.
Description of Work: Demolition of 100 lf feet of fence consisting of approx. 50 feet of old redwood fencing, 25 feet of old lattice fencing, and 25 feet of old chain link fencing, followed by construction of redwood fence.

Carl was very straightforward and answered any question I might have. At first, he e-mailed the contract over & I wasn't going to agree with it but Carl followed up with me and answered my questions. I love the chain link fence and everything went according to what Carl had told me.
Description of Work: I looked on Angie's list and found Foothill Fence Co. I read the reviews on Angie's list and decided to give them a call. Carl returned my call in a timely manner and went out and gave me an estimate over the phone of how much it would be to be have a chain link fence installed in the front yard of the house.

We ultimately chose another company, but it was based on a professional relationship I had there. Foothill Fence's prices were good, and equivalent to other companies I got quotes from (including the one I chose). If I had not known the person at the other company already, I would definitely have chosen Foothill Fence. Carl was very prompt to our appointment, very professional in getting the quote together, and overall I felt very comfortable doing business with him.
Description of Work: Carl from Foothill Fence came out and gave us an estimate of a new vinyl fence and a new sliding/mechanical gate.

They were prompt in returning the initial call and prompt in providing a quote. The did exactly what we wanted in exactly the time they said. Clean up was very good but not great BUT considering they hauled away our old yucky fence, I was happy to sweep up the last of the vinyl scraps (like sawdust, almost) that remained on the walk way. Everything is exactly as they said it would be and exactly as we wanted!

The job went without a hitch. The installers were very kind and courteous. Everyday before they left they made sure that everything was clean and tidy!!
Description of Work: Carl came out and gave me a bid for an automatic gate & telephone entry system. His price was not the lowest bid, but he explained everything very well about the system he was going to install. His installers were very informative and did an excellent job. I am very pleased with the outcome and service of Foothill Fence Co. I would and have recommended them to a couple of friends.

The original inspection and estimate were done quickly and professionally, although the original estimate of $3400 to replace some fence boards, build a new gate and install a short vinyl fence and gate seemed high. The actual work was done by subcontractors, who seemed to do a good job. Subsequently, a painter pointed out quite a few additional boards on the fence with dry rot or termite damage, so the fence company was retained to take out and replace the additional bad boards. This was done for a much more reasonable charge. Again, the subcontractor did the work.
Description of Work: Repaired wooden fence; built new wooden gate; installed new vinyl gate and short fence.

Karl and his team were a pleasure to work with. I didn't get competitive bids, I am sure there is a cheaper provider. It's only chain link fence, right? But Karl's team installed the fence without any glitches, a very sturdy install to prevent our dog from going out (over or under the fence) of this part of our yard. They were prompt, courteous, clean, helpful. I found Foothill Fence on Angie's list and am so happy I trusted the reports and used this provider for this!
Description of Work: About 15 feet of chain link fence.

I had a privacy fence between my house and the street that was old and damaged by boganvilla and needed to be replaced. I called Carl for an estimate. He showed up on time and was very professional. He took time (no rush job) to discuss my options and offered me a number of price and materials options. They did an excellent job and cleaned up well after themselves. I am very pleased with the final product and their work even received compliments from another contractor who was doing another job at my home and saw their work. I have no hesitation about recommending them highly and will use them again when my other fences need to be replaced.
Description of Work: I needed to replace a wood fence with lattice work on top. There was about 75 feet of fencing that was damaged. They took down and removed the old wood and set new supports and then installed new redwood in the fence along with supporting beams. All in all the work took two to three days.

Carl, the owner represented himself as well as the company with a professional attitude. I sought out at least 4 bids and Carl's was very competitive. Foothill Fence time line to complete the project was met with little or no set backs. Carl was able to work with our other contractors to keep the work flow running smoothly. Anytime a concern was brought up, Carl was there to understand the questions or problems and to give us the solution to it. The crew at Foothill were very professional and responsible and kept the job site clean after a work day. I would recommend Carl and his company for any of your fencing needs.

Since the fence was in the front, I wanted it to to look nice and have some decorative elements. Carl showed me samples from his book, and I chose the one I wanted. He modified the openings so they'd be smaller so my two small dogs can't get out--and was pleasant about it. He kept in touch regularly and his team came on the day and time quoted and finished on time. The fence is beautiful and I love it. I asked about replacing an additional gate that someone had installed badly, and they got right on it. The price was fair. Carl has a heart and really strives to serve. The team was professional, especially when I asked questions and poked around. Everything took 2 1/2 days. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I installed a privacy and boundary four foot fence in my front yard with a gate leading to the door. I also replaced a six foot gate on the side. Both are redwood.

The work was done very professionally in a timely manner. The gates were custom made so they fit very well. They are both much better material than my original ones. When the iron strike was put in, it made a very loud buzz compared with my old one, but Carl went all over to find a quieter one. When he couldn't find one he had his locksmith come and replace the transformer and switch the current on it, so now it is virtually noiseless except for a click when the gate unlatches. Next week the locksmith will come and hard wire the trannsformer. Carl was very persistent on the lock and getting it just right. I am very pleased with his beautiful work.
Description of Work: I had a wrought iron gate that is at my walkway entry which was flimsy and rusting. I also need a new wooden side gate. He also helped me with advice on a long wooden fence that had been shabbily built . He made a thick new wrought inon gate in a chocolate brown, installed it around a fern and a code box, and replaced the knob with my original one, so my key still worked. He removed both my old gates. He built a sturdy new redwood side gate and replaced the lock with my original one so the combination would be the same.

Like so many of the reviews stated, Carl is great to work with and very professional. He gave me an estimate about a year and half ago but because of health problems in the family we had to wait. When I called him he honored the original bid and even remembered me. The tenants dog had broken through the old fence and Carl was ready to get the job done with only two day notice. He even sent extra crew to make sure new segments of fence were complete and secure by the end of the day.
Description of Work: A new redwood board on board fence was installed all around the backyard, plus 2 gates. The gate was repositioned and designed to be wider. Some of the fencing had to be placed over a vinyl fence and an old existing fence because of uncooperative neighbors and Foothill Fence was able to do so and work with different situations.

Response from FootHill Fence Co
I first want to say that we are very sorry that this customer had a negitive experience with our company. This is the first negetive report we have had. From the very beginning though we had a hard time communicating with the customer. The price for the work was sent by Email as was requested within two days as we had said. The customer then sent an email days later asking for the bid. This happened several times and we tried following up with phone calls which always took us to a voice mail. Messages were left and the calls were never returned. This review was written on December 27th. We emailed the customer on Dec.23rd in response to a request for a new price for a different product. We were closed Dec. 24,25,26,27. On Dec 28th we emailed again since the customer had not replied. We also made several attempts by phone over the next few days, again only reaching a voice mail. We never again heard from the customer. It is a mystery why they wouldn't have received the emails and voice messages, there was no indication from our end that they were not delivered. We have not had any problems of this sort with any other customers. So I send our appologies, but we were very diligent in our attempts to contact this person. I can only say that we have strict policies for getting back to our customers quickly, and it has always been one of the stong points of our company.

Very positive experience. Phone calls were answered relatively quickly. Original impressions were positive - the person who did the estimate was friendly and professional The team who repaired the fence was pleasant and quick. They also gave sound advice for repairs I could do on my own, which I appreciate very much. The work looks fine and as lasted. I was quite satisfied.

The company responded directly to my call and came out to give an estimate the next day. They stated when the work would be done and the cost. Carl was very nice and came up with some good ideas on how to solve the problem with our existing fence. The work was done exactly as we were told and they did an excellent job.

Carl came when he said he would to see the work needed. He called with the quote the same afternoon. The crew showed up when they were supposed to and finished the work in 2 days. I was concerned about the finish surrounding the posts and Carl immediately came and adjusted them.
Description of Work: Replace the 40 year old topper on a patio brick wall. Our side patio topper was crumbling from age. It was replaced with redwood privacy lattice all around. Carl recommended that we rebuild the gate that led to the patio. The posts were cemented in. Our old gate was not working correctly and it is now functioning perfectly.
