Matt did a great job. He takes pride in the work he does. He worked long hard days in the hot 100+ summer days and the fence looks great.

It went very well. He was very professional, polite, and pleasant to work with, unlike many other contractors we have hired. A breath of fresh air, really. His work was very good quality, he finished in a timely manner and his price with very fair with a senior discount. We like that he is licensed and insured and cleaned up afterwards when finished. We also like that he did not smoke, chew, curse, litter or blast any loud music while working on our property -- I wish all contractors were as polite and professional as him! He made sure there was enough soil near the edge of the fence line, too. There was one area in the southeast corner that didn't have enough soil near the back post but it was not too hard for me to fix that myself. We would hire him again for sure.
Description of Work: He built a tan vinyl fence for us in the back yard and also installed a gate on one side.

Matt is very conscientious and professional. We agreed on a date and time for him to come to our home and provide us with a bid and he was right on time and gave us a bid within a short period of time. We then set a date for him to do the actual work and that was completed on a timely basis and the quality of Matt's work was very good. He definitely knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: Repaired portions of our wooden fence including replacing some of the posts.

Once he finally started the work, it was very high quality. A few months later we had him come out and survey for some additional fencing work and he never responded back to us with an estimate.

Matthew is a very busy guy, but when he says he'll be at the workplace on a specific date, he shows up. He did a great job on our two decks and even repaired one spot without changing the price. We also had him create an access point in the deck so we could get to our hot tub controls. I would have Matthew do deck work any time we needed it. Very nice guy, and his helper was also very pleasant. Cost listed is a very rough estimate; it has been almost two years since the work was done and I can't remember!

Called a week out to schedule an estimate. Spoke at length about what I was looking for, mentioned he had excellent reviews on AL. One week later, it's a very busy day at work and, though I should have stuck around, I take time off to come home and meet the guy. Ten minutes go by, then 15. At 20 minutes I call, get voicemail, leave a message - never hear from this guy again. Lame. I worked in restaurants for many years and with many flaky people. This behavior is called the "no-show, no-call," and it typically gets you fired. On AL, it gets you an F review. Thanks so much for wasting my time, I'll be sure to tell my friends!

I had lattice on my back fence and it was falling apart. he cut out the Lattice and put additional support beams in there. He repaired my gate and a side of the fence next to my neighbors. I liked worked with Matt. I felt like I could trust him from the beginning.

Arrived on time for an estimate for a new fencing project to add an additional 250 feet of fencing with two gates. I was promised a bid/estimate via email within two days and never received anything whatsoever. Very unprofessional. They wasted my time and I am now under the gun to finish my project on time. I will not use or recommended in the future.

He took enough time to do everything right. He ensured the posts were plumb, and waited enough days for the cement to harden enough before finishing the work. The entire job looks beautiful.

I contacted Matt and he came to my home for an estimate on the job. He listened well to my ideas and shared ideas from his past experience as well. He took measurements of the existing concrete pad and checked the vinyl fencing in my backyard for needed repairs. He stated that he would have an estimate to me very soon and that he could have the job completed and installed in about 3 days once the bid was accepted. The job was completed very well and seems to be perfectly fitted for my dog's needs. He also repaired my fencing for free! Update: On 2/3/14 I contacted Matt to ask for ideas to reinforce the bottom of the kennel as my dog found a way to escape. He was very responsive and came to work on the problem that same day. His timely response was very much appreciated! I believe that Matt will support this need until we find the best answer for keeping my dog safe in the kennel.
Description of Work: Matt built a chain-link dog kennel to fit a pad of concrete already present in my backyard. He also repaired a few issues with my vinyl fencing. Update: Matt came back to reinforce the kennel since my dog found a way to escape.

Matt was very easy to work with. They finished the fence in a timely manner. Matt came back and fixed the gate when I changed my mind on how I wanted it. I would have them work for our family again.

The fence bid was competitive with others. We liked Matt's build-to-last approach, and his explanation of the materials he planned to use. He did such a good job on the cedar fence that we asked him to bid the redwood deck. He did a great job; it is beautiful, stout, and just what we wanted. Matt's default is always to build it stronger. One of our neighbor's said, "you could walk an elephant on this deck!" He was on time, on budget and consulted us regularly about decisions or choices. He gave us good advice along the way. We have recommended Matt to several neighbors who admired his work.

The process went well and the fence looks great. Matt was very detailed and has a method that seems to work very good. He is honest and dependable. He had to punch through some of the sprinkler lines that were right up to the posts - he felt bad but had no other choice because the sprinkler system was installed wrong.
Description of Work: Great job..very thorough. Matt was very kind and explained everything well. We would use Matt again and want him to give us a bid to stain the fence in a few months.

The whole experience was simple - Matt was knowledgeable, skilled and professional - he had our fence done in a timely manner and perfectly color matched the existing fence. The large gate is sturdy and will definitely work for our needs. We will definitely use this company again and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a vinyl walk through front gate converted to a larger drive through so that we could park a truck behind the fence (it got hit on the street) - we also had a couple of vinyl fence panels that were damaged and needed to be replaced. Matt came out immediately and gave us a very fair estimate, in our opinion. He had to color match the existing fence/gate, which turned out perfect. The new fence and gate look awesome! Matt was extremely responsive to our calls and extremely professional - it was a pleasure doing business with this company!
