Description of Work: I had approximately 100 ft. stretch of 5ft. privacy fence replace with a 4ft. decorative picket fence. I was available to get them started to make sure we were on the same page then had to go to work. By the time I got home it was finished. It looks good and seems well built. |One thing I did like was they used 4x6 posts on the hinge side of the two gate doors, much sturdier design. |The only thing that kind of irked me was even though they were very quick to start the job after contract was signed, I had very little heads up on a schedule for when they were available to start. I got a call on a Friday that they could start on Monday. Even though I could have changed the date, I didn't want to risk having it pushed out to later in the summer. |Over all so far I am pretty happy with them. |They were high than all the other estimates I had gotten but they did a good job.

Description of Work: First Fence did a perfect job of installation of about 70 feet of cedar fence in about 5 hours. It's impeccable..installers made sure to include a space to push my tool shed back into once complete. They boxed it perfectly around trees and the gate is beautiful not to mention they picked beautiful pieces of cedar plank for the fence. I am thrilled. They gave me a discount as a return customer. You might get a cheaper quote elsewhere but like my neighbor who did..his fence panels fell off. My fences are there to stay!! Love them....

Description of Work: Replaced a fence that had fallen down in our backyard. They were courteous, prompt and did a great job. Of course, now I think the rest of my fence (which wasn't replaced) pales in comparison...:)

Description of Work: They installed a 6ft cedar fence in my yard with a locking gate. It was done quickly and professionally and actually took a shorter time then they estimated. The fence still looks great a year later. I was really happy with all the information I received from the sales person Eric. He was very patient.
