People are very nice and personable. They previously put in a fence and now the hand rails. They do a fantastic job and clean up. The rails match the fence and both fence and rails look great! I highly recommend them.

Some nice young men installed poles in cement on the first day of construction. They came back a few days later and put the chain link on the poles. Lamont was not happy with the way one of the poles was moving when the chain link was being stretched into position. My sandy ground is not holding the poles like regular dirt and soil would. The next day he came by himself and spent several hours reinstalling the moving pole. A few days later the men came back and finished securing the chain link to the poles and installed the gate. The fence is very nice. I took about a month from the time I ordered the fence to the time construction began.

Forrest Fence did a wonderful, professional job with the fence installation. It was a one day installation. They used wet concrete for the posts, and hung the gate the next day. Beautiful, quality fence and service!!

I have to hand it to Forrest Fence - they worked with me to design a fence that the Developer for our community would approve, which was not an easy task. The owner - John Forrest and the office manager, Amber Lighthall were extremely flexible and responsive as we faced one challenge after another. This is a great company - and they were a pleasure to work with!
Description of Work: John and his team skillfully installed a beautiful vinyl fence in our back yard. They used top quality materials and communicated with us throughout the process.

I called them back in August to obtain an estimate and they came out withing 2 days. John was friendly and professional. He then let me know I needed to obtain a variance and guided me through how to apply for one. They were very patient in awaiting all meetings and results and we finally got the go ahead to install the fence the end of November. The installation date was the middle of December and they team arrived as scheduled. They found that we had turned the water off outside and immediately called so that they could mix the concrete and complete the job. The installer had a question about the location of one of the fence lines and called me to verify before moving forward. When we got back down to check it out. The work was great. The Gate was better than I expected with a built in lock. They did not damage or impacted anything on the property. I would use them again.

They were quick to come to our home and quote the job and easy to communicate with via email and over the phone. The days they were at our home installing the fence the crews worked long hours to finish the job. We were happy with the overall experience.

Everything was fine. The owner arrived on time and provided a written estimate for the fence I described. The cost was simply more than my family was able to pay to have the yard fenced. I checked references for all the companies who provided estimates for the fencing, and this company not only gave us the lowest estimate and quickest time frame for providing the work, but they also got rave reviews from personal acquaintances who actually had work done by Forest Fence. I would have chosen them to do the work, had it been in the budget, and will call them to do it when there's cash in the bank account.

From first time meeting at my new home through estimate and job completion, Forrest Fence was outstanding. I'd never had fence installed to this extent before and John Forrest was extremely helpful. He gave me great advice and options. The crew he sent for the installation were prompt and a pleasure to meet. Just a great job from top to bottom. Highly recommended. This is the best company I've dealt with so far on this project.

The only problem was they had to delay the installation date by 2 days. The installation was scheduled for two days and took three days but that was not a problem. The work was very professional and the owner made sure that all of our wants were met. He also made several suggestions that improved the overall project. Forrest Fence was the only company that offered to make sure all permits were obtained and that underground utilities were identified. The crew that installed the fence was very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend Forrest Fence to anyone that wants to have a fenece installed.

Very well - arrived on time, performed work on time. Fence looks great. One monitor issue with handle design...I don't like them and I should have said so at the time, which I didn't, so just think about that. A minor annoyance can kind of eat at you after a while. But the February e looks great and he offer a great value.

John and the folks at Forrest Fencing were amazing! I could not tell you the last time I was so happy with a contractor. He met us at his shop on a Saturday and was so informative and helpful. We left feeling comfortable with the decision we had to make. Time came for installation and it went off without a hitch! John's crew was on time, very nice and left the job site clean. The job was finished in two days, just like he quoted us. It's really good to be able to feel relaxed and confident when you are spending thousands of dollars, thanks John. Tracey

We had a great experience with Forrest Fence. John was very professional and accomodating with his/our schedule. The prices were competitive with other companies we researched. We're thrilled with our fence and have recommended the company to several of our neighbors.

Got a dog......fell in love. Nina, our beautiful Havanese, needed to run. We were appaled that we even thought about such and expensive purchase...but it was Nina's christmas present! David did due diligence with many quotes and interviews with prospective fence companies. With the bids that we had, although they were very close, we went with the slightly higher bid which was Forrest. We did this because of John Forrest who was the most personal and professional of the people we dealt with and new we would have a quality job.

Mr. Forrest was very professional and helpful. He did a complete examination of our lot and provided a detailed estimate. He was one of two contractors we chose from and it was a hard decision because they were seemed to be excellent choices. In the end we chose the other contractor because some of the components may have been slightly better. I would have expected an excellent result if we had chosed Forrest instead.
