I contacted them one or two weeks after our installation (early Oct.) about the latch not being aligned properly. The gate has been blowing open and shut and now the latch is held in place by one screw. I have contacted them at least 6 times, no word back. I have read other reviews like this on other sites. A horrible way to do business. I will tell everyone I know to avoid this company. I am also contacting our towns permit department.

We've used them before and they have done good work. I would have liked more detail in the estimate. They provided pricing options for us.

It was easy to set up a time to get a quote and then get the work done. The workmanship was excellent. I was worried about the gate lining up after the work was done but they did it perfectly. The only issue was that they left a bit of a mess. The work was performed while we were not home (as arranged) so we didn’t have a chance to inspect things at the time the work was done. There were five old nails, a bunch of nails attached to one another for a pneumatic nail gun, I’m guessing, and a small saw blade on the ground as well. Luckily I found it all before my dog did. When I went in to the shop to pay the bill and mentioned the work was great but that there was “a bit of a mess,” they guys there said something like “yeah, the guys do that”.
Description of Work: We had two fence posts on either side of a gate replaced.

Ryan Jaacks was great to work with. He was able to come out to the house for an estimate 24 hours after inquiring originally on if they could perform the work. He provided a CAD drawing of the design we had given him and it turned out great. His team was able to complete a 9x16 backyard deck in approximately 4 build days and was extremely accommodating to any minor changes that occurred. Ryan and his team were extremely professional and the quality of the work is outstanding. We will be calling Ryan and Rustic Woodman back to complete a fence in the back yard soon!

It didn’t go! Very poor customer service! I messaged them via Angie’s list and I was told to call their office. So I did that but no answer so I left a message. After a couple of days after leaving a voicemail, I messaged on AL again. It is now over 2 weeks and I haven’t heard back! If I was another potential customer, I would definitely avoid this company!!!!

This is the company you want to hire!! They have excellent installers, use high quality materials, work quickly, thoroughly and are reliable. When a problem arose,( yes, this can happen) Bob managed it with fairness, professionalism, and immediately. Sergio and Jose worked hard and with the utmost dedication. I couldn’t have found a better fence group. We are extremely satisfied, would definitely hire them again, and give Rustic Wood Fence our highest recommendation!!

At the first hint of consumer dissatisfaction, the owner turned unresponsive and mean. He threatened to take us to court if we didn't pay. He could have retained us as future customers for other work we had already discussed with his brother, but we were not treated like valued customers. All went well in terms of booking and installation. Price was a bit high, but they came recommended. The workers did good quality work. However, one section of the fence was supposed to slope gradually downward; this was installed in the wrong location. I called immediately while the workers were still at my home, and the kind, friendly grandson was suddenly stubborn and unwilling to make it right. When I explained that we had discussed the location in person, he claimed not to remember this. His "plan" was 2 pencil lines on a piece of notebook paper that did not indicate the correct location for the slope. End product looks good but was not what I had asked for!

I couldn't ask for a better experience. They showed up when they said they would. Did a great job with a friendly professional crew. The Privacy wooden gates they installed look great. Was such a breath of fresh air after a horrible experience with another vendor. Wouldn't go any where else now.

Bad. The company they used (D.I.G.G.E.R.) to locate underground lines went to the front of the house instead of the back yard and they only mark "public" lines. Consequently they cut the electrical line from my house to my garage, they tried to splice it, but it didn't last more then a week. They told me they were not responsible and to read the statement on the proposal. If you hire them make sure you call your own surveyor. Don't trust them to do it properly. The fence cost me an additional $2500.00 because they don't locate "privately" installed lines.

We are disappointed that you did not have a good experience with your D.I.G.G.E.R. underground locate. Unfortunately they are the only ones who can mark those lines. If they fail to mark correctly, a line such as yours can be cut.

I had someone come out to provide an estimate to build a new deck on the back of our home. Their representative came out, met with me, said they could totally do the job I was asking and then told me they would respond with a quote within the week. I never heard back from them. Disappointing since they had such good reviews.

The agent was scheduled for 9 am, but phoned at 8 am, asking whether he could arrive 1 hour early. I declined, since I was just getting out of the shower. He arrived at 9 am, looked at the job, and said he would send me an estimate by email. Then I received an email afterwards declining the job, but was given no reason for their refusal to do the job. Very unsatisfactory. They seem very picky -- perhaps they only want huge jobs where they can display their sign prominently.
Description of Work: I needed: about 12 feet of fencing and 3 posts replaced in my yard between my yard and the neighbor's yard; a new fence with 2 new posts in the alley between 2 garages; and a 3-sided privacy fence on the other side of my property at the alley.

Job went almost exactly as planned. They provided a cost and time estimate both of which were met. Quality was top notch. When I complained about a particular issue, they came out and redid the work twice until it was done correctly. The trex deck looks great, and is a big improvement over the wood deck they replaced.

Overall the fence is beautiful. The owner subcontracts the work though. They didn't cement the posts all the way. I told the owner and he said he would come out. Still have not heard from them. If you have work done by them make sure the subcontracts cement the posts properly.
