Defence Enterprises

We needed a repair to our chain link fence due to animals crawling under it and damaging it.

Exceptionally well, Matt is a great person to work with. Everything was as described and on time. The railing looks great too.

Matt originally came out within a day of my calling for an estimate which I thought was great considering that it takes some contractors multiple calls for them to return a call or even come out to give an estimate. The crew arrived when they said they would. The guys were professional, friendly & courteous and did and excellent job. They removed our old fence and cleaned up. They also helped one of my neighbors rescue a stray dog which was unexpected ( you can add dog rescue to their resume). The fence looks great and I am very happy with the finished product.

Matt was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. The installers did a great job as well. Couldn't ask for more.

Matt and his crew were great: punctual, friendly, and professional! My new fence is wonderful. I would without a doubt hire Defence again and highly recommend them!

I talked to two companies but had the best communication with Matt Sparre of Defence Enterprises. The price was slightly higher than the other company, but Matt was much faster and clearer in voice and email communications and they had a higher rating on Angie's list. He told me that it usually takes 4 weeks from the time of deposit to when the materials arrive and he could begin. We were very happy that it only took 3 weeks because we had to leave town and were hoping to not delay installation because I wanted to be there when the work was done. The crew arrived in two trucks on the first day within the window Matt told me and were very professional and worked hard. After the initial walk through to double check what we wanted, Jason and the crew started removal of the old fence and installed the new posts. While Ms. Dig marked my gas line and the township marked my water line, I forgot to mention the sewer line that crossed one of the fence lines. Jason caught that and clearly marked it before they began to dig. They let the posts harden the second day and Jason and Zack came back on the third and completed the installation in about a half a day. So a total of 2 1/2 days. The fence looks great and gives us the privacy and more security for the pool that we were hoping for. I do intend to finish a final length of fence within the year and will be calling them back. Jason with a great smile, kept things moving and answered all my questions and addressed any concerns, even replacing a couple of panels that I noticed were dented on the back side.

We especially want to commend Matt and the Defense team for the superb communication and response. Clearly we did not want the fence down around our (unopened) pool for long. We were able to keep in touch and make sure everything, including the new tree, was secured. We most appreciate that Matt returns phone calls and is honest about what he is able to do. We have contacted other fence companies who do not even return a call. We will use this company again and, kudos to Matt and his team.

Defence was a great company to work with! Matt was incredibly helpful and responsive from the beginning of the project to the end. We were waffling on vinyl vs. wood and Matt quoted every product we requested and gave us his input about each product based on his experience. We ended up going with a treated wood fence for our 250 linear feet of fence line. Prior to construction we had to receive consent from the neighbors on three sides of our property and each neighbor wanted something different along their property line. Matt helped us develop solutions to meet everyone's needs. Matt hit his estimated start date right on the mark! Matt came out with the crew on a Monday, walked the property with us and the crew and went through the specifics of the job. The crew then completely removed the existing chain link, dug new post holes and set the new wood posts in concrete. They were very neat and removed all the old chain link and associated debris. Mike, the crew leader, and two associates returned on Friday of the same week and built the fence piece by piece on site. They started the job at around 9:00 and were done by 2:30! Once again they were very respectful and cleaned up after they were done. I feel very comfortable recommending Defence Enterprises!

Matt was great to work with. He was quick in responding to phone calls and e-mails. Matt was very professional, and the work that his company did was great! I have a very happy dog that can now run around the yard without a lead on. He also got the work done in just a few days. Thanks! You won't be disappointed if you go with this company for your fencing needs.

I have an aluminum ornamental fence that was installed in 2002 by a different company. The installation work done was poor and improper. Some fence post started to come out of the ground because the post were not buried deep enough to get below the frost line. This caused our gate to break. I found Defence Enterprises on Angie's List with very good reviews and called Matt on 11/17/15 and ask for him to come out and quote the work that needed to be done. The quote was for replacing the old gate with a new gate and post, adding a new gate and post in a new location and repairing 3 post that were coming out of the ground. I received a quote for the project the next day on 11/18/15 and submitted my deposit. Matt quoted 3-4 weeks because of material availability from his vendor. Two weeks later on 12/3/15 the job was completed. Matt was very professional and easy to work with and stayed in contact with me throughout the entire project. Overall I am very pleased with Matt and his company and have no negative issues to report for this review. It is difficult to find companies that will do fence repair work so I was surprised when Matt responded right away.

Excellent! Matt was so easy to work with. I work a lot of hours and was not home for his initial review. We corresponded via email and phone and he was able to implement exactly what I wanted. Matt even came out 2 weeks afterwards when there were minor sink holes around the post and he filled it in with dirt. Superior service!

The owner, Matt Sparre, measured my yard and provided me with a written estimate/contract on April 22. I put a 1/3 deposit ($2000) down. Due to the number of previous booked jobs and the weather, his crew was not able to start until May 20. A four man crew arrived at my home at 9 AM. Once the final details were discussed, the yard was marked, fence post holes were dug, and all of the posts were set with site mixed concrete. A three man crew returned 2 days later (to allow the concrete to cure) and to build the fence and gates. The crew worked quickly, site building the fence and gates in about 8 hours They paid attention to detail and did not rush to complete the job. The gates were built in place and all of the hardware is very good quality. When complete, the crew cleaned up after themselves. All of the workers were very professional and considerate of my yard and my neighbors yards too. All in all, I am more than satisfied with Defence's work and I not hesitate in hiring them again.

Answered the hone professionally. Was knowledgeable and professional. We did not hire them because my spouse (originally tasked with finding someone) actually hired someone. I would definitely hire Defence in the future.

Job went great. The crew was on time and very professional. Job was completed over a 3 day period and would definitely use them in the future.

Matt and his team were great. We had 3 quotes and Defence came in competitively with the others but we chose them for their strong Angie's List rating and positive comments. It was a very good choice! We expected it to take 3-4 weeks from the time we selected them to completion, but it was more like 2.5 weeks and they even had a 3 day "rain delay". The fence looks great and we are very happy with the professional service and responsiveness we received from them! Highly recommend!

very good experience. very prompt/professional service. very competitive pricing. service completed within predefined time period.

We contacted Matt Sparre (owner) on May 27, 2014. He came out promptly on the 29th and sent us a quote by email within a couple of days. We felt badly about and quot;keeping him on the hookand quot; since we were waiting on other quotes (which never came.) See Angie's List for the miscreant competitors that are listed on her site. We signed the contract with Matt and had a firm date scheduled for the work within a couple of weeks. Matt called and said that he had an opening come up and could come on 06/27/2014. The gentlemen arrived at exactly the time they were supposed to and the work was complete in the early afternoon. It is always reassuring to have employees praise the company owner and his business practices. These gentlemen were professional, polite and hard working. They had good suggestions and were knowledgeable about fencing. They were also forthcoming about anything we suggested that might not be feasible and ready to offer alternatives which worked. Clean up was fantastic to the point where they asked where we might like the dirt which was dug up be distributed. Overall, we are more than satisfied with this company and would not hesitate to recommend them. Considering the labor, materials, travel and expertise the price was very reasonable. Also, the responsiveness was greatly appreciated. It would be great if other companies would stay in contact with potential customers or simply say and quot;This job is too small/largeand quot; or and quot;I am booked at this timeand quot;. Just a response would be nice. Matt did better than that and we are grateful that he waited for us.

Matt was extremely responsive and professional. Although I do feel the price was fair, since none of the four other companies I contacted responded to my request, I have nothing to compare it to. Matt's team came out and installed the posts one day, and then completed the job approximately a week later. There was one issue with one of the gates, but Matt had this corrected the very next morning. I would definitely recommend Matt and his crew!

THEY STAKED THE YARD IN 1/2 DAY AND INSTALLED ENTIRE FENCE PLUS GATES 2 DAYS LATER- VERY HAPPY

They arrived exactly when they said they'd be there, and told me the project as a whole would take 3 days to complete due to cement having to set and the weekend. They removed everything the first day, then decided to put all the posts in as well. The next day, after the cement had time to set, they finished everything but realized that one of the fabricated lengths of fence had been sized incorrectly by the manufacturer. The third day in the morning, they came back with a fixed fence panel and installed it. They were very competitively priced and the fence is beautiful! They finished the job earlier than they quoted, and everything was perfectly installed. They even gave me some tips on how to clean it.

Matt came out and gave us an estimate. His prices were the best we have found and I priced out around 8 fence people. He never came out to the job site but his guys were very nice. They did a good job. I am very happy with my fence. There were gaps under my fence because of my uneven backyard. So they gave me the left overs so I can block my neighbors dog from sticking his head under. Matt was very accommodating to my request.

Did not use this provider; prefer provider be bonded and insured.

His quote was double everyone else's quote.

Very responsive to our initial inquiry. Promp tscheduling and on-time, courteous when providing the initial quote and answering questions. Quote was a little high, but they came with an and quot;Aand quot; rating from Angie's List! Since signing the contract and sending in a deposit - haven't heard a thing unless I initiate the contact. Tells me they are more a and quot;typicaland quot; contractor than an and quot;Aand quot; rating would suggest. Wonder if the previous raters were all family?

They did a wonderful job, and they were punctual.
