The whole process was very quick, from the sales call to the installation. I had gotten a couple of fence quotes last year, one from Raatz, but hadn't gotten the work done at that time. I called them again, the salesman came out and gave me a lower quote than I had gotten before because he said materials were a little cheaper now. They started the following week. The whole process took about 2-1/2 days - we have a pretty big yard. After they finished up I noticed that the wood pickets in the gate were kind of splintering in a few places and it didn't look very good. I would probably give them an A- because of that if I could. But they came out a few days later and fixed that.
Description of Work: They tore down an old privacy fence, hauled it away, cleared out a lot of brush to make way for a new fence and then put it in.

I chose Raatz due to their reputation on Angie's list, and from the recommendation of a co-worker. I called for an estimate, and left a message, but did not hear back from them. I called a week later, and they apologized, and arranged for Greg to come out and give me an estimate. Greg was prompt and extremely professional. He came out, and we talked about options, and he e-mailed me the estimates (for 2 different kinds of fence) the next day. I chose to go with the 5' aluminum fence. It was more expensive than the other option, but it looks better, in my opinion. It was a special order style, so I knew it would take 2 weeks to get in. Greg knew I was in a hurry to get the fence installed, so he said they would install it the day after it arrived. I later realized that my small dog could fit through the bars of the fence, so I wanted to change my order. Unfortunately, the fence was custom order, and had already been manufactured. Greg said that they would install black welded wire along the fence, at no extra charge. The fence arrived a few days earlier than expected, and they installed it right away. It took an extra half day because there were a lot of rocks in the back yard that slowed the progress. It looks fantastic. I was worried about the look of the welded wire, but it is almost invisible. At a distance, you cannot see it. The black aluminum fence is really nice looking and top quality. I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with this company. I called another company and got an estimate (verbal) based on similar fence type/length, and Raatz's price was 10% less. I would absolutely use them again, and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Raatz installed a 5 foot aluminum fence, approx 180 feet long, with a gate, in the back yard.

I emailed for an estimate (Sunday), they called Monday and came out a week later. I spoke with the rep and we discussed all the options for repair. A few days later I had an estimate mailed to me. I sent a deposit of half in and scheduled the repair for a week later. They sent someone to mark wires and such two days before scheduled repair, then called to see if they could come a day early. That was fine and two very nice young men came and worked for about 6 hours fixing the fence. They cleaned up and were professional.
Description of Work: I have a very large 6 foot wooden privacy fence that had 8 panels of 36 blown down in high winds. The fence was mostly 25 years old with a few sections already replaced. They added 5 new posts, replaced 6 panels and salvaged 2 panels.

We are very pleased with both our new fence and the installation job. Jimbo Schaffer came out and did our estimate, and he was a great help to us in making the decisions about what we wanted. A courteous and competent group of 3 men came on the agreed date to install our posts. Two days later, 2 other equally courteous men came to put up the rest of the fence, and they seemed very careful and skilled. Even though they followed our instructions about how we wanted the gate to open, we realized right after they left that we weren't going to be happy with it. We immediately called the office, who paged the men, and they turned their truck around and came back right away, to rework the gate to our liking. They were very nice about it, and they were able to make the gate look and operate just the way we wanted. Our new fence looks beautiful!
Description of Work: We had a 6" dog-ear cedar privacy fence installed around the unfenced portion of our back yard, including a 10" double gate made of cedar over galvanized steel.

We have used them before and they do a good job. They are on time and always friendly. They make sure to explain everything to you and try to make the prices as reasonable as they can. It is a lot of work and they seem to have no problems plugging along. I am pleased.

I was given an estimate for the work. I selected their quote over a competitor. Once I paid the deposit I was put on the install schedule(about two weeks out). They called BUD (to mark the buried utility lines). The installers came out and reviewed their install instructions with me. They installed the posts that day. They came back two days later to install all of the fencing. The workers did a good job and I am happy with their work.

IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE, I'D PROBABLY USE THEM AGAIN. THEY ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD.
