. We've been in the fencing business since 1978. Our goal is to build a quality fence that will provide our customers with the best value for their investment. We strive to provide a competitive price, without sacrificing the quality of workmanship or material used.
We pride ourselves on building relationships with our customers and constructing fences to their satisfaction. We are a full service company, stocking materials for wood and chain link fences.
Our products include Western Red Cedar wood, Jerith® Ornamental fence, Bufftech® Vinyl fence in different colors, Equestrian paddock and pasture fence. Our Chain Link material includes 9 or 11 gauge galvanizing as well as 8 gauge color coated chain link. We custom build dog kennel runs that are installed in ground or free standing.
We also do repairs on fences that are damaged by mother nature and other objects.
Description of Work: I have used them in the past and they do really good work. I have another section of fence that needs to be replace and will be calling them.

Description of Work: We hired Sterling Fence to install a black chain link fence in our backyard. When the sales guy initially wrote up the info. He had said to allow a couple weeks. Almost a month went by withy zero communication. I had to call them to see when they were going to start. They came out a couple days later and set the posts. I asked whe. They would be back to finish as we had to remove part of a flower bed for the fence to be within our property line. They said mid week the following week at the earliest. To our surprise they came on Monday and installed part of the fence- the area by the flowerbed was left and so was a portion by the garage. We received no additional communication as to when they'd be back. A week went by and I had to call them again to find out when it would be finished- I called the sales guy who proceeded to tell me that it was our fault it wasn't done as they couldn't finish it because the flowered wasn't remived when they came back- to which I informed him that they had told me they were going to be finishing it at a different time then They did and also part of the fence by the garage was not finished either. I told him at that point that the communication was horrible and non existent. And the turn around time was not accurate either. He said that they couldn't call everyone to tell them when things would be done- which I thought was a poor excuse since that is basic customer service. Once the fence was finished the quality was good but the lack of communication and customer service was horrible. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Our neighbors had the same experience and were also displeased.

Description of Work: A giant tree wiped out several sections of my wood fence. Sterling Fence has been doing my fence work for 25 years now. The people are great to work with, they do excellent work, and they are typically the most affordable.

Sterling Fence came out and bid the job. They were very kind and helpful. The salesman was straightforward and sincere, They bid the job, gave me a good price and proceeded to tell me what to expect if we hired them. Everything they said was true. The quality of the material and the workmanship was what surprised me. You don't see anything like like that these days. Excellent!
Description of Work: Sterling Fence built a western red cedar picket fence for us. It was scalloped and beautiful!

WE'VE NEVER HAD A WORSE EXPERIENCE WITH A COMPANY. AFTER WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT AND PAID 20%, EVERYTHING CHANGED. STERLING SAID IT WOULD FIND OUR PROPERTY LINES; THEN TRIED TO CHARGE US AN ADDITIONAL $500 FOR THE SERVICE. STERLING DIDN'T PULL A BUILDING PERMIT UNTIL THREE MONTHS AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETED. THOUGH WE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED OUR POWER LINES, STERLING CUT THE GARAGE POWER LINE ($300 TO FIX). FOR MORE THAN A WEEK DURING THE BUILDING, STERLING'S BUILDERS LEFT CEDAR BOARD PIECES ON OUR LAWN AND WORSE, ON ALL THREE OF OUR NEIGHBORS' LAWNS AND FINALLY, DESPITE MULTIPLE CALLS, THE FENCES GATE IS STILL OFF KILTER. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE STERLING REPRESENATIVES' LYING AND THE BUILDERS' LATENESS, CARELESSNESS AND POOR QUALITY WORK THAT HAS US FRUSTRATED, ALSO STERLING'S OWNER, DOUG HAS BEEN REMARKABLY RUDE, EVEN TO THE POINT OF YELLING AT BOTH MY HUSBAND AND ME ON THE PHONE. WE DEEPLY REGRET HIRING STERLING FENCE.

MARV, THE SALES MAN WAS GREAT, BUT AFTER THAT EVERYTHING WENT DOWN HILL. IT TOOK THEM FOREVER TO DO THE WORK, WHEN THEY DID IT, THEY DID A BAD JOB. THEY LEFT A SPACE OF ABOUT 10 INCHES WHERE MY DOGS COULD GET THOUGH! WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM, THE OWNER, DOUG, WAS QUITE ABRUPT WITH ME. WHEN I CALLED SEVERAL DAYS LATER TO FIND OUT WHY THEY HAD NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, HE WAS ABSOLUTELY RUDE! I WILL NEVER HIRE THIS COMPANY AGAIN AND ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT RECOMMEND THEM. THE LADIES IN THE OFFICE ANSWERING THE PHONE WERE QUITE POLITE HOWEVER.

I'M REASONABLY OK WITH MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS FIRM. BUT QUALITY AND PRICE DO NOT COMPARE FAVORABLY WITH ANOTHER FENCE I HAD BUILT BY ANOTHER FIRM RIGHT AFTER THIS ONE.
Description of Work: BUILD A NEW SECTION OF CEDAR FENCING AND A GATE TO EXTEND A A FENCE THEY DID FOR ME A FEW YEARS AGO. FENCE WENT UP FAST--LOOKS OK AND IS STURDY ENOUGH. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE THEY USED NAILS, NOT SCREWS, AND THE NAILS DON'T LINE UP; ALSO THE GATE DOESN'T CLOSE SMOOTHLY (EVEN AFTER THEY CAME BACK TO ADJUST). AND THEY LEFT THE YARD AROUND THE FENCE CHURNED UP.

I PICKED STERLING IN PART BECAUSE I NEED THE PROJECT COMPLETED FAIRLY QUICKLY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO IT WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME. THEY DID BUT NOT WITHOUT AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN PHONE CALLS FROM ME, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE STRETCHED THE PROJECT OUT LONGER. ONCE THE PROJECT WAS FINISHED I HAD TO HAVE THEM COME BACK TO FIX SOME THINGS THEY HADN'T DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. THEY CAME BACK FAIRLY PROMPTLY AND DID THE JOB RIGHT. IN THE END I GOT A GREAT FENCE, BUT NOT WITHOUT A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK ON MY PART.
Description of Work: BUILT A 104 FOOT LONG, 4 FOOT HIGH CEDAR FENCE WITH TWO GATES.

OBTAIN A WRITTEN COMMITMENT ON THE TIMEFRAME OF WORK TO BE COMPLETED.
Description of Work: INSTALLED ABOUT 100 FT OF CHAIN LINK FENCING: THERE WERE MAJOR DELAYS IN GETTING THEM TO ACTUALLY REMOVE OLD FENCING AND PUT UP THE CHAIN LINK AFTER THEY INITIALLY INSTALLED THE POLES (ABOUT 4 WEEKS). THEY SAID THEY WERE BUSY AND CONTACTED THEM 3 TIMES TO GET A COMMITMENT ON WHEN THEY WOULD BE BACK. QUALITY WAS ABOUT 99% ONCE THEY FINISHED IT.

VERY IMPRESSED WITH SERVICE AND THE QUALITY OF THE WORK. VERY PROFESSIONAL. DEALT WITH A FEW STICKY PROBLEMS (LIKE REMOVING SOME OLD CHUNKS OF CONCRETE) AND CLEANED UP THOROUGHLY. ARRIVED WHEN PROMISED, WORKED EFFICIENTLY, BUT CLEARLY DID NOT CUT CORNERS TO DO A GREAT JOB. THE FENCE IS BEAUTIFUL--ONE OF THE NICEST LOOKING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN SOUTHWEST MINNEAPOLIS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FIRM.

WE WERE TOLD THAT THE WORKERS WOULD BE THERE AROUND NOON ON THE 20 OF AUGUST AND THEY CALLED AT 2PM AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE THERE AT 4:30 AND THEY SHOWED AT 6PM. THEY SAID THEY WERE SHORT ONE POLE SO THEY HAD TO PUT THE POLES IN THE WAY THEY DID WHICH WAS NOT RIGHT AND THE EXTRA POLE IS LAYING ON THE DRIVEWAY. THEY WERE GOING TO PUT THE POLES IN AND THEN STRETCH THE FENCING WITHOUT LETTING THE POLES SET IN CEMENT FOR A FEW DAYS. WHEN WE TOLD THEM THAT WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO LET THE POLES SET THEY SAID FINE THAT THEY WOULD BE BACK AT THE END OF THE WEEK. HERE WE ARE THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND STILL NO FENCE.
Description of Work: I HIRED STERLING FENCE ON JULY 16 AND I WAS TOLD THEY WERE 3-4 WEEKS OUT ON THEIR WORK. THEY FINALLY STARTED BY PUTTING IN THE POLES ON AUGUST 20 AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS. THEY INSTALLED ONE OF THE POLES IN THE WRONG PLACE AND THEY CUT THE PHONE WIRES SO QWEST HAD TO COME OUT EVEN THOUGH THE YARD WAS MARKED. I CALLED THE NEXT MORNING TO INFORM THEM THAT THE POLE NEEDED TO BE SWITCHED AND HERE IT IS AUGUST 26 AND STILL NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A SMALL JOB BECAUSE IT IS ONLY ONE SIDE OF A YARD AND TO CONNECT BOTH SIDES TO THE HOUSE. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM.
