FootHill Fence Co

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.

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.

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.

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.

Carl responded to my phone inquiry very promptly, set up at time to come by within a couple of days, sent an estimate very quickly, and scheduled the construction of the new fence within a week of my signing the contract. We are very pleased with the finished product.

Did go with this company but the guy was nice and professional. Price was slightly higher than the others and I had to wait 3 weeks for the work so I went with some couple of hunderd lower and did the fence the next week.

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.

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!

Too high of price not sure if I will use their services until I receive more estimates from other companies.

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!!

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.

Initially, an evaluation was made and an estimate was given. I did not realize a a cap was needed but appreciated being given the information. The work was done a week later and went smoothly.

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!

He did an excellent job, was competitively priced, and performed excellent. I would recommend him to anyone in the need of fence repair

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.

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.

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.

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.

very nice on the phone, came out to my house - nice - but then i've had to hound them for an estimate. it's now been a while since i've asked for another estimate for different type of fence. no word still.

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.

Very professional company. They were fairly priced, puctual, courteous and did an excellent job with a thorough clean up.

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.

The service went very well. They were very prompt, quick, and professional service. Overall, they did a good 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.
