Response from J B FENCE CO
We are very diligent in returning phone calls on a timely basis. We have no record of receiving any phone calls from you. Sometimes, calls made to us are muffled or illegible on our recorder. What number did you call and when? What number did you call from.? Our system tracks all calls so we can see if we somehow missed yours. We are sorry if somehow your calls slipped through our system. Thanks! John

I found this company to be professional and courteous from the beginning to the end of the process. Matt arrived on time for the initial inspection. He sent the estimate when he said he would and scheduled us as soon as he got the signed contract. They began the work on the day they said they would, showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves every day. The crew was courteous and conscientious. They did a wonderful job and the fence looks great. We were very happy with the job and felt that the cost was competitive. We would recommend this company without hesitation.
Description of Work: J&B Fence installed a redwood fence along 2 sides of our backyard. One side extended all the way to the curb in the front yard. They also installed a gate. about 150 feet of fencing. We live on a hill so the fence ranged between 5ft and 7ft (this was a 6ft fence on top of a 1ft baseboard).

Description of Work: This project was for a straight run of 90 feet of 'good neighbor' fencing between our property and that of our neighbor's on Kent Court. JB Fence was selected from a total of four candidates who were interviewed a gave quotes. Of the three candidates that we took seriously all provided similar quotations. We split the cost between us with our neighbor paying a little extra for a new gate. Price included removing and hauling old fence but not finishing the new fence which we will do. | |After speaking to the owner, John Beckwith, by phone a date was set for about two weeks in the future for an estimate by his project manager, Matt Julian. He was knowledgeable and courteous providing details of the scope of their work and answering our questions. After reviewing the final quotations (separate for each of us) and signing the contracts (all by email/mail) the work was scheduled to start on Sep 22 at 7:30 am. Matt took care of having our gas lines marked. | |We selected construction heart redwood using the 1x8" board on board with 2x4" rails top and bottom design that seems to be rather common now. Presumably due to ease of installation and reasonably attractive appearance. Redwood used by JB Fence is milled for them. Sturdy 4x6" pressure treated posts were sunk over 2 feet deep and fixed in good quality concrete. In addition pressure treated 2x12" boards were run along the entire length of the base of the fence as our neighbor's soil was higher than ours. Once the posts were in place lines were run so that we could make final decisions on the height of the fence along the run. | |Job was done by two experienced employees, Jose and Juan, who worked hard and efficiently. | |Only complaint that I have is that the debris (broken concrete) from our side was cleared as well as I would have liked. All in all they were very professional and did a good job. | |The only other serious contender and my second choice was Peter Keenan of Alameda Fence Co. I really took a liking to Peter who would be a good choice for such work, especially if you need more of a craftsman for your project. |

We had a very good experience with JB Fence. Matt was very communicative and professional. He and his crew showed up on time, completed the job on time, and cleaned up. We very much like the fence and would definitely use them again.

the fence was installed about a year ago but they were timely and reliable about fixing the gate . The original fence fell in a storm and it was a big issue as I have dogs and they need to be able to go out but not get out of the yard. They came in a matter of days and had the new fence up. They cleaned up well were punctual and the cost was exactly as estimated
Description of Work: the gate they had installed was not closing right they came and fixed it without any problem or cost to me.

Overall a good experience - one exception was after the initial meeting/estimate, I couldn't get back in touch with the sales estimator despite leaving multiple messages when we wanted to make some adjustments to the height of the fence. This delayed the install by about 2 weeks which was frustrating. However, once we got over this hump the rest went smoothly. The install team showed up on time and did an excellent job - in and out in less than 8 hours and took away some extra wood trash we had on-site. The fence is very attractive and appears sturdy. I would use them again.

The service went really well. The estimator was on time and communicated fairly clearly in regards to the price. They did the work as scheduled and the work was reasonable quality, not the greatest but it was okay.

We are extremely happy with the service and the new fence. It looks awesome and exceeded our expectations. Within a week of first contact, we had a fair estimate. Within two weeks, a signed contract. And the job was completed about a month after initial contact. Everything went as Matt estimated. The guys showed up and finished exactly when they said they would. The quality of their work was excellent and they did a good cleanup job as well. They even made a few good decisions/recommendations on the fly that saved us from having to incur extra costs (e.g. redo a retaining wall). Their work has not just replaced an old fence, but added value and beauty to our home. We would definitely recommend them for any fencing jobs.
Description of Work: Replaced approximately 50' of fence (including gate and arbor) at front of property.

The project went very well. They started on the East fence, tore it out and had the new posts in and the bottom boards in place by the end of the first day. The second day they started on the West fence. By the third day all the new fence boards were in place. On the fourth day they built a gate and cleaned everything up very nicely. They even cleaned up trash left from another contractor at no extra charge.
Description of Work: They tore down, and rebuilt 329 feet of redwood fence.

Description of Work: I spoke to Matt, and he came over, measured 500 feet of fence that needed to be replaced all around a two building condo. He gave me what I thought was a very good estimate. It took them about a week to finish and the new fencing looked beautiful. There were a few mishaps, but once they were reported, he had his men come right out and make sure everything was taken care of.

I called 4 companies to get estimates to replace approximately 90 ft of fence in my back yard between our house and the neighbor. 3 of the estimates were from Angie's List contractors. Out of those 3, only Matt from JB Fence showed up on time for the estimate, and produced a thorough written estimate of the job. One other contractor didn't bother showing up for the appointment, while the other was an hour late and then emailed me an estimate with only a price, no specifics. JB Fence offered to send separate contracts to us and our neighbor splitting the cost and Matt was very helpful when we wanted to make a few changes in height and design. They promised to be finished in 2 days. They showed up on time, completed the job in the time specified, cleaned up beautifully. We and our neighbors were both extremely happy with the final result. Their price wasn't the lowest or highest, but was definitely competitive and fair for the professionalism they showed.

Great experience. John Beckwith, the owner, came over and did the measurements and provided the estimate. He offered various material options, and was patient with us as we figured out what we wanted. His team was fast and extremely professional. We couldn't believe how well it went and just what a wonderful deck we ended up with. He did warn us that they did not offer staining or painting services, and the new deck did have to be stained. But he recommended a few contractors to do that work. Its almost 4 years now and we are still thrilled with the deck.
Description of Work: Removed old redwood deck and built beautiful new one. Included entire new deck, railings, redwood stairs and some brick work below deck. Deck is approximately 350 square feet.

I'd never had work done on a fence before, and was unsure of how to work with the neighbors, etc. JB Fence helped make this a smooth process, meeting with each of us and drawing up separate contracts that split the cost of the shared section and billed us respectively for non-shared sections. Work was completed in 1 day, workers were professional and left everything in good order. I hadn't realized that I'd need to apply protectant to the wood myself, as was indicated in the "care and maintenance" recommendations that came with the invoice, but as I said, I'd never had a fence built before so I am guessing this is standard.
Description of Work: Dismantled deteriorated fence and built new one in backyard. Replace gate as well.

We called two companies from Angie's list for quotes. JB Fence was competitive by a significant margin and the estimator, Matt, was more prompt and responsive than the other company. Our home is built into a steep grade hill and access to our property is challenging. There were no issues for them. They started and finished on time. The area was kept clean. The work was done well. When they finished, we realized that despite the fact that they did what we asked them to do, it did not look like what we expected aesthetically once we saw the finished results. We asked them to lower a box around a tree and add in a little more of the retaining wall behind a tree. They did that at an extremely fair price. Two things impressed me: 1) they reused as much of the wood during the adjustments as they could and 2) they asked the same crew to stop by after another job to ensure that the team with knowledge of our project were the ones making the adjustments. When you ask for a variance is when you truly find out how much integrity a company has. I plan to use JB Fence again in the future for additional retaining walls and fencing without hesistation.
Description of Work: Our project involved removing and replaced about a 100 linear feet of retaining wall in our backyard with pressure treated wood.

Much better construction than old deck. Really did a beautiful job at a fair price. Workers friendly, professional and very experienced. We weren't happy with the railings they showed us so we found some photos on the internet. Emailed links to John and he adjusted his quote to accommodate what we wanted. In the end we love the railing and John now has something new he can offer. JB markets themselves as a fence company as that has been their main business. But they have one crew doing decks now and we highly recommend them. They also have their own lumber mill and sell materials to other contractors.
Description of Work: Demolished 30 year old deck and built new one in its place. Approximately 450 square feet of redwood deck. All new pressure treated base, new piers, posts...everything new. Added new stairs to deck from gate area. Also rebuilt brick and redwood steps and landing area adjacent to deck.
