What a great company to work with!! Charlie and his team worked with us and created a beautiful deck that we’ll enjoy for many years. The quote was very reasonable and the end results are magnificent. Charlie communicated with us daily on the progress of project. It’s refreshing to have an honest, hard working, efficient crew to work with.

Excel install a replacement fence for my neighbor, and you did not provide replacement, instead angling towards my townhouse, taking several inches and placing the fence up against My Home. Excel scratched and bent siding in order to force the board on the fence. They refused To speak with me and refuse the problems. They took advantage of the elderly couple That hired them.

I'm so very glad we chose Excel! What a great experience from start to finish. Carlos and his crew are like a well oiled machine, they worked so well together and were so meticulous with every detail, all the way down to the clean up. Thank you so much for a beautiful deck. Will definitely be enjoying it for many years to come.

Professional and timely every step of the way. I didnt know exactly what I wanted. Will was patient and responsive. He made suggestions and the result is beautiful! Install was scheduled quickly. No waiting 5-6 months per other estimate. Reasonable pricing. Install was completed quickly and neatly. Couldn't be happier!!

Excel Fencing and Decking was amazing from start to finish. Will came out and did my estimate and helped me figure out what made the most sense for our project. He was very knowledgeable about fencing requirements for when we eventually get a pool in the future. They worked with us on our installation date which we had to move several times because our house was still under construction. When it came time for installation both the deck crew and fence crews were absolutely great. I told all my neighbors when they asked who we used. Don't hesitate to call them. You won't regret it.

The coordinator was punctual and personable. They gave suggestions and showed us brochures to help visualize the look. The pricing was within reason considering the price of everything has skyrocketed the past year or so. The install went off without a hitch and my parents are happily enjoying their privacy fence! 10/10 would recommend!

I DO NOT recommend working with Excel Fencing. We used them to install a fence around our single family home. I was under the impression it was going to be built to the specifications as indicated on our plot plan. We’ve had issues arise recently where I believe the fence was not installed to the correct measurements. I tried reaching out to Excel Fencing with no reply. My wife reached out and spoke with Charlie (who worked with us on the build) and he was highly inappropriate with her on the phone, he spoke very condescending and rude to her and accused us of trying to get something free from them. All we asked was to have them remeasure the fence to clarify if it was installed correctly. They flat out refused to do so. They wanted to charge us $200 to come out and measure, something they do for free for quotes. This tells me they know they installed it incorrectly and don’t stand by their product or their customer service. If I had to do it again I would use another company. Their webpage says the job isn’t done until we are 100% satisfied with the job. Well we aren’t satisfied. Poor customer service once they get your money!

Response from Excel Fencing & Decking
It’s really sad that you get to put this unwarranted review up without recourse. Your fence was installed over a year ago per the contract and your approval. We have the signed contract from you along with the signed layout form which says you agree with the layout and accept responsibility for the layout and placement of the fence, we also have the signed completion certificate from you which says we did everything per the contract and that you are happy. You have recourse and can file a complaint through MHIC if you feel you have been wronged. Thank you for the bad review which should be a good review, Excel

Stated well. Placed a call to get an estimate and appointment was scheduled promptly. However went downhill after the appointment Extremely disappoint in follow through. Their representative, Will, understood the project and advised we would have an estimate in a couple of days. Needless to say we did not hear from Will. I even called twice for a status update and was told they are very interested in the project and Will was suppose to contact us, but that never happened. SO 3 1/2 weeks later and still no word. Not even the courtesy to let us know they are not interest. Definitely would NOT recommend. Lack of professionalism with communication.

Fence installed in 2016. They came on time, were polite and hard working. The fence turned out great. We had some shifting with two gates 4 yrs later. They came out and did some adjusting at no cost to me. They are working smoothly. Thank you Excel.

Charlie and the whole team at Excel was great to work with from beginning to end. They are very professional, thorough, and customer oriented. I was particularly impressed with Charlie's knowledge and advice which made every step of the process easier to understand. I am very happy with the finished project and will consider them for future jobs and recommend Excel to my family and friends.

Excel Fencing & Decking performed a spectacular job on installing my privacy fence. I met Mr. Charlie, the owner, as he is the one who prepared an estimate for a fence & deck. He was very patient, informative, and honest. The Foreman Tony and the installers were on time and very professional. I am so excited for Excel Fencing & Decking to install my deck! I highly recommend them.

Excel did a fantastic job from beginning to end. The suggestions made by the owner, Charlie, when he came out to do the quote made a nice difference with the look of the fence. Our timeline was delayed because COVID had delayed the construction of our pool and Charlie was very good at adapting the schedule to be able to fit our needs. The installation crew did a fantastic job with the installation and the finished the large project in one day. They never took a break in order to complete the job. Highly recommend.

From the very 1st phone call to the final payment, the experience I had with Excel was absolutely amazing. Very professional staff in the office and amazing workers in the field. I couldn't be happier with my fence and steps. I would recommend this company to anyone that is looking for fencing or decks. I will be hiring them to complete my deck expansion for sure

Excel did a fabulous job at the installation of my vinyl fence! After pricing a few other companies, both Charlie’s price & timing for installation could not be beat! The crew was on time & worked diligently. The end product speaks for itself! Thrilled with my new fence! Would definitely recommend again & again!

Could not be happier. This was a large project, more then 700 linear feet of fence. Charlie and the office team were excellent!!. Any question that I had or concern was quickly answered. Excel was willing to work with me as a individual and I felt like the owner and the entire install team cared about my project and treated the project as if it was their house.
