Description of Work: I called for an estimate and within 10 minutes I received a call back from Ian. Unfortunately, the company does not service my area, but I was really impressed with the quick reply to my inquiry and the professionalism Ian displayed in our discussion. I have contacted other companies on Angies List for various home related projects and many never responded, which I find extremely unprofessional.

Great.
Description of Work: I needed my driveway gate replaced. Found Plane & Stain on Angie's list and did not bother calling anybody else. The two brothers are a good team with Ian running communications and Justin out in the field. Justin came out to look at the existing gate and talk over what I wanted the new gate to look like. He made some great suggestions, to ensure that I had the best end result. The work was scheduled for about a week later. The foreman and construction helper showed up promptly on the day of work. The gate was completed in less than 6 hours I think. Nice guys and did a good job of cleaning up the job site. The finished product is great and I am very pleased! I am having Plane & Stain come back out to my house this week for another possible project.

Description of Work: I called a number of fence contractors whom I culled from Angie's List for a property line fence designed to consist of concrete pillars, stucco finish and wood panelling in between pillars. I talked with a courteous gentleman at Plane and Stain and sent him a copy of the design. After a few days he called back and explained they really weren't set up to handle such a variety of materials in a fence; they did mostly just wood fencing. I thanked him for his honesty and proceeded with others. My general experience in this area during these times is that many, if not most, contractors will say yes to anything to get the work and then try either to do it or to get help from someone else. The result is you don't know whom you're dealing with or the quality of their experience. I think Plane & Stain deserves credit for its honest and professional response. I would call them again if I thought I had a project within the scope of their expertise. I gave them a C on Overall Experience only because the computer wouldn't let me proceed without some grade. They didn't work for an A or a B and I can't give them less for just being honest.

Description of Work: Ian and Justin are extremely professional and make customer service a top priority. They took the time to answer all questions and addressed our tight scheduling issues with a new driveway going in right after the fence was installed. The craftsmanship of the fence was exceptional. We love our fence, the neighbors think it looks great, and even our driveway contractor commented that it was a great job that provided a straight line for them to use as a guide for the paver placement. No hesitation in recommending Plane & Stain.

Plane and Stain Inc. seemed to be a good company. They showed up on time and gave us the estimate but it just didn't seem like the right time to us to make the purchase.

It went GREAT! I read a POSITIVE review on Angie's list and gave them a call. I believe Justin came the same day to look at the property in order to give me an estimate. It took them only 1 or 2 days to email me a very detailed and thorough estimate of work (which was competitive with other bids). They worked patiently with me while I rethought the fence design and had them re-quote it in a few different ways (wood types and design). They were always completely easygoing and very responsive and prompt. Once I gave them the go ahead, they showed up for work and completed the project in just 2 1/2 days - even with sprinkling rain. While working they asked my opinion many times just to make sure I would agree with where something would line up or how they would make a height match. They were so conscience of my opinion and wanted to make sure that the work they were doing was exactly what I wanted. Their main fence builder is very talented and speedy. I was quite pleased with the quality of cedar they brought for the front fences, and Justin even went back to the East Bay to exchange some of the boards which he thought were not of the best quality. Perfectionists do exist! I realized that the cedar boards would look best if they were stained to match our front door (instead of to weather to a grey color) and Justin was completely willing to figure out how they could stain all these boards before installing them and all with a pleasant smile on face. I paid them time and materials for this part. The one thing I didn't do beforehand was look at the hardware. I would have chosen something silver, but they brought black. So be it. I am still thrilled with the work and amazed that there are contractors out there who like their job, and who strive to please their customers. Plane and Stain is a great business. I recommend them with the highest remarks ***** 5 stars.
Description of Work: 1. Built 49 feet of 6' high fence to match existing fence on either side (Redwood). 2. Built 16 feet of 7' high fence with lattice on top to match good neighbor side of property (Redwood). 3. Built 8 feet of double wide opening gate and 3' of fixed panel (Clear heart cedar). 4. Built 4 feet of gate and 6' of fixed panel (Clear heart cedar)

I wanted to use them but it was a shared fence and I was convinced by my to use someone else and that's the only reason I didn't select them. I really thought they were very professional. They provided a very professional and detailed estimate, it was easy to communicate via email and phone.

We couldn’t have been happier with the job that Ian and Jason did on our new cedar split rail fence. They fully exemplified the benefits of working with a small, owner managed business. The care and pride in the work demonstrated by them and their crew was impressive and not something that I have found with bigger companies. The result was an absolutely beautiful fence that was built to last. It’s been up for only a few days and people I know from the neighborhood have been stopping me on the street to compliment the fence. This is quite striking as we live in a somewhat fence hostile area. I got 3 bids. Plane and Stain came in significantly above the low bid and they worked with me to reduce the gap. While they were still not the least expensive option I am absolutely certain that they provided the best value and they were an absolute joy to work with.
Description of Work: Built a new hand split cedar split rail fence around the perimeter or our property.

They gave me a really good price. They were trying to grow a green business on how they approached things. They were very responsive and I was pretty happy with them. Their quality was very good and their price was good.

This company is run by two brothers, Ian and Justin. They were very involved in the project from start to finish. They listened to the particular specifications I wanted on the project and had good suggestions. The work was performed quick and efficiently with either Ian or Justin on site daily to assure the project went smoothly. These guys place a high priority on customer satisfaction.
