They were very professional and very efficient. They offered suggestions to try and give us some ideas of how we could go with the fencing. They gave us pretty good suggestions for us. I would use their service in the future.
Description of Work: I used A-1 Fence Inc. service for an estimate on fencing beside the house and the whole backyard. I last used their service two weeks ago.

Really nice experience from beginning to end. To accomodate our schedule and our sense of urgency of a quality fence being installed asap (with an unexpected new puppy), Eric not only gave us a quick bid turnaround, he installed the fence in a timely manner and matched it perfectly with our current fence. What he promised, he did. Made us feel like the we comes first.

Great company to work with. We loved that the owner, Eric, not only is the person who sold us the fence but he was also part of the team that installed it. Very responsive in helping us pick the fence design, get a price quote quickly and came when he said he would come to show us samples and do the installation! Would be glad to provide a reference for this company. Our fence looks great! We and the neighbors love it!
Description of Work: Helped us select a fence and gate design and installed it around our entire yard.

Eric, the owner, came to give us the estimate. He was impressive and knowledgeable. It was a close choice between this company and the one I went with. My choice ultimately came down to scheduling. Their price was on par with the other estimate I received.

It was a very nice job. They came and gave us an estmate and ordered the fence because we want black coated. They told us when they would be here and they were on time. We have a pretty big yard and we wanted it to moved out to our property line so there was a little more work. They did a great job and finished it all in one day.

From day one from when Eric provided an estimate to completion, he did what he said he would do. He was extremely responsive with all the email communication to figure out how we would put a gate in the driveway. Most other contractors were not....some never even got back to us with an estimate. His pricing was $1000 cheaper than anybody else we received an estimate from. We believe that the Cypress wouldn't warp compared to pressure treated fencing and hold up better over time. So we went ahead and had Eric install Cypress fending and we are really enjoying our privacy. Seems like we gained another yard now that it is private around the allies. We can't thank Eric enough and his team. They even stayed in the rain to finish the job which was about 150' foot of fence installed all in ONE day. He also helped us figure out the driveway gate and provided the hardware for us to build and install it ourselves. Great Job A1-Fence!

They were okay. There were three gentlemen who came out to do the work. The whole project took about six hours. They were nice and pleasant. When they came out the first time they ordered the wrong size fence, which pushed the project back and every time he came out he forgot his credit card machine. When they made the appointment, they did not tell us a time to come out just a day, which was rather inconvenient. They came out the second time, did the work, and made sure to clean up after themselves. The only other problem that we ran into was that they took the permit, so my homeowners association came around and was accusing us of installing a fence without a permit. It would have been nice to have avoided that, by just having the permit at my home. The price was great. They were about eight hundred dollars cheaper than the other companies I got estimates from. The fence looks good.

SO I HAVE TO ASK MYSELF IS THE ECONOMY SO MESSED UP THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW A GOOD THING WHEN THEY SEE IT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS PERSONS COMMENTS NOR DO I AGREE WITH THEM AS THEY ARE NOT TRUE. FIRST OF ALL WHEN I DID THE ESTIMATE I WAS ON TIME. WE DISCUSSED DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND BECAUSE THIS WAS A ALUMINUM PRODUCT IT IS ORDERED BY NUMBER 2436 AND SO ON. WHEN THE CUSTOMER CALLED TO SAY THE JOB WAS A GO AHEAD THEY DID ASK IF WE ACCEPTED CREDIT CARDS BUT DID NOT SAY THAT WAS THE WAY THEY WANTED TO PAY. WE SET A TIME TO FINALIZE THE PAPER WORK. WHEN I SHOWED UP AGAIN ON TIME THE MAN OF THE HOUSE WAS NOT THERE AS HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. THAT'S WHEN SHE ASKED IF I COULD TAKE A CREDIT CARD. I SAID NO I DID NOT HAVE MY MACHINE. WE SIGNED PAPER WORK AND THEY WERE TO FORWARD THE DEPOSIT CHECK. THE FENCE WAS ORDERED IN A 6'' SPACING AND THE CUSTOMER SIGNED FOR IT. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE FENCE FROM THE SUPPLIER WE FELT THE SPACING WAS TO LARGE AND BROUGHT THIS TO OUR CUSTOMERS ATTENTION AS SOON AS WE ARRIVED ON SITE. THE CUSTOMER AGREED AND WE SAID WE WOULD HAVE IT REMADE. WE DID NOT HAVE TO DO THIS WE DID THIS. THEY HAD SIGNED FOR IT TO BE 6'' SPACING I LOST 600.00 ON THIS JOB. I ALSO HAD THIS JOB REMADE IN A WEEK WHICH IS A SUPER FAST TURN AROUND TRYING TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I SCHEDULED THIS JOB FOR A DAY BUT COULDN'T GIVE A EXACT TIME. WE SHOWED UP ON SITE AND BEGAN WORK AT 10:00. I BEING THE OWNER, DID THE JOB MYSELF. THE JOB WAS PERFECT. BEING THE JOB WAS ALUMINUM IT WAS HARD TO POST THE PERMIT AND THE PERMIT WAS GIVEN TO THE OWNER THAT DAYAND HE WAS TOLD TO POST IT SO IF HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOC IT HIS FAULT NOT OURS. THE JOB WAS PERFECT. THE SERVICE WAS PERFECT. I DID ALL THIS AND LOST MONEY ON THE JOB TO GIVE THEM ALL THEY EXPECTED AND I STILL GET THIS TYPE OF COMMENTS. WHAT CAN I SAY?

A-1 Fence was on time for their appointment for a fence quote and were professional and friendly. After getting two other quotes and checking Angie's List we went with A-1 Fence. They were very professional and helpful over the phone. The workers arrived on time, were friendly, worked quickly, and did a great job. The new fence looks great!

Reply to company: They never told me that warping of the pressure treated wood was not covered under warranty. I looked at the warranty and it is doesn?t specifically say that. The salesman never told me this. I?ve had other pressure treated wood fences that have never warped. If she couldn?t have made it out then she could have at least called me and set something up for the future. She basically just ignored my call. This was just really unprofessional.
Description of Work: Installed cypress and pressure treated privacy fence. The panels were fabricated off-site. For the most part the fence is satisfactory. However, one of the very visible panels is beginning to bow at the top (six months after install). Also, one of the gates is settling and twisting. According to my contract there is a warranty. However, at this time the company is not returning calls with regard to these defects. Eventually I planned to do some additional fence installation. However, I would not use this company again. In the future I would only buy a fence that is completely installed at site to prevent the panel bowing that I am experiencing.

HI LET ME FIRST EXPLAIN A COUPLE OF THINGS,WHETHER A FENCE IS BUILT ON SITE OR PREFABBED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS. CUSTOMERS HAVE THE OPTION TO CHOOSE FROM DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS . THEY ARE INFORMED WHAT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CYPRESS OR PRESSURE TREATED AND WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THAT MATERIAL AS IT WEATHERS AND AGES. ALL CUSTOMERS ARE INFORMED THAT PRESSURE TREATED PINE WILL WARP AND THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON WARPING. THE WARRANTY ON PRESSURE TREATED PINE IS FOR ROT AND DECAY ONLY AND IS WARRANTIED BY THE MANUFACTURE ONLY. I AM SURE (MARK) OUR SALESMAN DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE CUSTOMER. AFTER 8 MONTHS THE PRESSURE TREATED PINE RAILS HAVE WARPED SOME. THIS IS NORMAL WITH THAT TYPE OF WOOD. DUE TO THE ECONOMY WE HAVE HAD TO DOWNSIZE A LITTLE AND LAY OFF A COUPLE OF EMPLOYEES. THIS CUSTOMER CALLED ABOUT THE TIME THESE CHANGES WERE TAKING EFFECT, HE WANTED SOMETHING DONE RIGHT AWAY, AND WAS NOT VERY UNDERSTANDING TO MY SITUATION AND THE FACT I COULD NOT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY. IF HE COULD HAVE HAD A LITTLE PATIENCE I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THIS WHEN I GOT DOWN IN HIS AREA. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MAN POWER TO SEND SOMEONE DOWN ON A SPECIAL TRIP EXACTLY WHEN HE WANTED. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A PRESSURE TREATED PINE WARPING PROBLEM THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY AND IS IN WRITING. WITH DUE PATIENCE I WOULD HAVE RESPONDED SHORTLY. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT HIS COMMENTS. I GUESS IT PROVES YOU CAN DO YOU BEST AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE YOU CAN'T PLEASE.

My initial call was promptly returned and the estimate was given at my convenience since I return home from work after usual business hours. The salesman was very professional and made suggestions and recommendations at my request. I never felt pressured or obligated. He actually saved me money by asking me if I would like to re-use the old fence along with the new. This saved me over $300. My old fence was connected to an arbor with rose bushes on either side. I didn't want to lose the arbor, but knew it was a possibility since it was nailed into the gateposts of the fence. The salesman said they would try to preserve the arbor but since it was being held up by the fence, there was a big possibility that the arbor would be unstable and lean. If this was the case, the salesman said that they would take it down and haul it away. I agreed to this arrangement. When I returned home the day the fence was installed, I found a beautiful new fence AND they saved my arbor! I am more than satisfied! I would use this company and recommend them to my friends.

The salesman was very informative and gave a detailed description as to what my choices were, along with many samples to view. He listened to what my needs were and explained what my options were. I never felt pressured during the process. He also spent the time going over my boundary survey to be sure there would not be a dispute with my neighbors concerning property lines. On both sides of my property I wanted the fence to face finish side in toward me (since I was paying for the fence). He explained the process for doing that and i received permission from both neighbors. I called our zoning board to be sure he was correct and he was. Of course, the alley had to have the finished side out and that was done. (I received other estimates from fence companies who refused to do anything but finished side out, regardless of my neighbors agreement.) The job was done within one week of signing an agreement to use the company and was finished in one day. They did a wonderful job and it looks better than I anticipated. They even did some extra finishes that I was not expecting. It's a beautiful fence. I would recommend them hands down to any competitor.

We were very pleased with the courtesy and promptness of sales rep. He was very thorough in describing the anticipated work and the choices of materials. We were to prune bushes for clearance, but weren't sure how much to prune. When the installation was moved up a few days, the crew were gracious about completing the pruning so they could get the fence installed that day. It took a full day to remove old fence and install new one. Our crew was very experienced in their job and clean up was excellent. We were very pleased!

I took 3 bids, and went with the middle bid (A-1). They were very good and did a little more than the contract was for. I could have upgraded to pressure-treated wood, but I did not know enough at the time to ask, and no one educated me on that. I purchased Cyprus.

It was a very good experience. Only a few companies would even consider doing job with a 16 foot rolling gate, and of the few that did, A-1 gave the best estimate, by far. None of the fence companies on Angie's List would do it, and A-1 wasn't on the list at the time. I gambled on them and didn't regret it. The salesman, Mark, was very knowledgable, the workers were very polite, quick, and cleaned up afterward. The owner, Ray, came out himself the next day with one other guy, and they installed the gate. Very friendly, knowledgeable, efficient guys, all around. I didn't realize how expensive the rolling gate would be, but A-1 was much less expensive than the other quotes.
Description of Work: Erected a fence along both sides of house, and across the back (by alley). Per my request, a 16 foot rolling gate was added in back for access to driveway from alley.
