I looking for a reliable company to repair the gates on my existing fence. I was cited $100.00 for an estimate. When I asked why, I was told, “We could write estimates all day long.” I guess my potential business wasn’t of value. Too bad, I’m an excellent and reliable customer.

Great crew, excellent work - Did whole job in about day+ - Rain delays caused some scheduling issues but manager kept me updated via email everyday and we worked out a date later that worked for both of us. Installation crew was polite and professional. They started early and worked late to finish. Would definitely hire again.

I had an existing cedar fence line separating the front and back of the property, but needed the other three sides of the back enclosed for my dog. I got three estimates from A rated companies here on Angie's List. Two estimates were for white vinyl and the third from Canton Fence for cedar. I went with the cedar as it was the lowest bid and I'm very glad I did. The fence looks great! I put down half the cost as a deposit in mid October and they were ready to install it the first week of December. I had to delay as I was away that week. The office was very accommodating. They came the next week and installed it. I am very pleased with the quality of the work and would use them again.
Description of Work: Installed approximately 250 feet of 6 feet high cedar fence with pressure treated posts and cedar cap.

Very well. We can be picky people but Canton fence did everything necessary to make us happy with the fence. I couldn't recommend them more.
Description of Work: We removed a fence that was falling down and and installed a new cedar fence. They even took the time fix the neighbors fence when they did not need to.

Description of Work: Instead of town water, I have well water. My well pump broke and I was left with no water. I have a fenced in yard and needed a company to remove part of my fence so the well truck could get to the pump in my back yard. Most fence companies wanted to come in several weeks. I looked on Angies List and saw Canton Fence had emergency service. I was desperate to find a reliable fence company who was willing to help me. I called Canton Fence and was frantic. They immediately helped me and were very sympathetic to my needs. They came right away and even offered suggestions on changing my fence gate, so going forward it will be easier for a truck to go in my back yard.It is reassuring to see such a helpful company when I was desperate. I can not say how grateful I am. It is very frustrating not having any water to brush my teeth, flush a toilet, wash my face or do laundry. Canton Fence was truly amazing and I can not thank them enough.

At the time, I had seven dogs and they needed a place to run. They sent out a crew and it took around three days to finish completely. They did an excellent job and I liked everything. They came out when they said they would.

My husband spoke with Ritchie yesterday and Ritchie told him that his workman told him that I said someone removed the gate. He also said the no charge work order that my husband signed didn't mean anything. I spoke with Ritchie today to tell him I did not say that, I told him that the latch was faulty, as we never in 36 years had a problem latching our old gate. He said he would take the price of the latch and hinges (22.95) off the bill but I owed him the labor charge. He told me and my husband he hears lots of ridiculous stories about gates being out of wack. We both felt he was calling us liars. I told him I was very disappointed and he said, rather arrogantly, then don't pay me.
Description of Work: Canton Fence put in 91 linear feet of 6 foot cedar fence and 1walk gate in my yard in April of 2013. for $2500.00. About a month ago the gate was not latching correctly. We have a pool and dogs so a latched gate is very important. I called them and they came out. The service person said he had installed the gate and then asked if someone had taken the gate off the hinges, I said I didn't know, but we do have a lawn service, so maybe they could have. They fixed the latch, but as soon as anyone opened the gate from the outside (by pulling the string) the latch stopped latching. I just assumed the latch was faulty, We called them again last week and they installed a new latch and hinges. My husband signed a work order that said no charge before the service person left. Two days ago I got a bill for$ 204.38, $180.00 for labor and the rest for a latch hinges and tax.

Came out and spoke with me in person for the estimate, explained what they'd have to do to get it up on the hill the way I wanted. Super nice guy, really helpful in explaining fence types as I didn't really know what I wanted. Answered all my questions as I worked through what my best bet was for my landscape. Estimate was straightforward and the lowest I received, he even gave me ballparks on different scenarios to help kind of guide me on what to do. Were a bit behind schedule due to parts coming in late from their manufacturer but always responsive when I called. Very pleasant to deal with and professional. Came when they said they would and got to work, explained what they were going to do every step of the way. They had to cut away a lot of the brush and it was super hot out but they did so with no complaints. Gates came in sooner than expected and were put on right away. Fence looks awesome, neighbors all commented on how great it came out. Overall a great experience, would recommend them highly. The office manager (forgive me if I got the title wrong) was great to deal with.
Description of Work: Installed vinyl fencing around 3/4 of the property, chain link on the remainder of the fence. Yard is hilly on one side so they had to cut away quite a bit of brush as well.

Response from Canton Fence Company Inc
Hi (deleted member name), We were able to pull our records here and find your original contract with us. Our agreement with you was to remove and reset your gate post, rehang gate with any necessary hardware, insert wood stiffeners into post and re-glue all cap-strips. Per our agreement, we reset you gate post with fresh concrete, rehung your gate, installed wood stiffeners into the gate post and re-glued all of the cap strips. You're right though, I wouldn't have paid $2500 for that either. Your contract with us was for $1359.38 which you paid in two installments. $700 on June 9th, 2012 and 659.28 on July 25th, 2012. If there is anything you feel we could have done better for you, please don't hesitate to call the office. I am happy to help. -Ryan Schiffer (781) 344-7366

I was overall pleased with the work they did, but annoyed that when they said they'd arrive "first thing Monday morning" they didn't arrive until nearly 10 am- not what I consider first thing. They were very good about checking with us about any changes they needed to make that would change to cost from that estimated (the increase was very small, we added one section of cedar stockade beyond what we'd estimated). They did a nice job of cleaning up their materials, and did not damage my yard or flowerbeds any more than was absolutely necessary. The men doing the work were polite and behaved professionally.
Description of Work: Tore down and removed old pocket and stockade fence, cleared weeds/branches from around fence line. Installed new cedar stockade and chain link fence and chain link gate. Matched height and style to remaining chain link fence. Cedar stockade included two sweeps down to shorter chain link fencing.

I easily set up an appointment and the contractor was on time. He looked the area over and mentioned that his company cements every post in place and that is the right way to do it. He told me he would send me an estimate. When some time had elapsed and I had not received one, I called to remind them. The estimate was much higher than others, so I decided not to go with this company

Received estimate verbally and then confirmed by mail. I sent them a $100 deposit and then took 4 weeks to get them out and one of those weeks I was out of town. But once they got here the finished product was great.
Description of Work: It was a repair on a 6 foot high chain link fence post that was hit by a truck.

They were quick to give an estimate, slow and very poor at communicating the install date but showed up on the appointed date to do the work. I would say that I am basically happy with the finished project. One of the gates was not installed to spec (it is smaller than estimated). My main gripe is the lack of communication between the lead person and me during the process. He gave me less than 48 hours notice that they were going to start. I had wanted to give my neighbors more notice that the fence would be down so they could make plans for kids and pets. The workers were good and quiet. They did not say that they would leave me with no gates over the week or that one gate was made too short.
Description of Work: They installed a 160 foot stockade fence and removed the old fence.

I called for an estimate and David came out promptly. He gave me several ideas how to lower costs. The crew came out when promised and did a fantastic job. They trimmed a lot of overgrown bushes for us and the yard now looks great. We were a little concerned about the whole process because part of the fence was on a hill over a stone wall, but it was no problem for them. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Took down wood fencing and several hundred feet of chain link fencing. Put up new cedar fencing and 2 gates. Disposed of the old fence and also a lot of brush they cut down for us.

Everything was extremely well done, from the first contact and estimate to the finished product. The fence is beautiful and exactly what we expected. Several challenging spots were handled beautifully. The only problem was that they were not able to come on the exact day we planned. They had to reschedule us twice and ended up coming on an inconvenient day. This was probably due to the extremely wet spring we were having. Overall we are very pleased with Canton Fence.
Description of Work: 104 feet of cedar fence along one side of property. The fence ran against the neighbor's chain link fence, down a hill and around a tree.
