The Fence Guy

Fencing, Fencing Driveway Gates

About us

The Fence Guy is a small, family owned business that has been in operation since 2008, and has been in the fence installation trade since 1986. ***We do NOT have sales people, YOUR ESTIMATE IS DONE BY AN INSTALLATION EXPERT. Every Time.*** The concept behind this is that you get what you want, the first time, every time. As it should be. **We NEVER TAKE A DEPOSIT ON JOBS** The simple concept behind this is we do not want your money until: (a)We have earned it, and (b) We have made the client happy with their purchase. We offer ALL styles of fence including privacy, picket, shadowbox, scalloped, convexed, split-rail, horse-fence, farm-fence, chain-link, ornamental aluminum and steel, guard-rail, barrier fence and just about any other type of containment available. We also offer REPAIR WORK on ALL styles of fences and gates. We work with Cedar and Pressure-Treated lumber and we buy from local suppliers, hand-picking your material for YOU. We offer MILITARY and SERVICE PROVIDER(Fire/Medic and Law Enforcement) discounts We offer SENIOR discounts **WE ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS OUT ON RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATIONS, weather permitting.** **NOTE----- There have been reviews that have stated that we use sub-standard materials that warp. ANY lumber is susceptible to warpage, at any time. At the time of the sale, the customer is given several choices and price points accordingly. If you buy the least expensive product, you cannot expect it to perform like a top of the line product. We can and do warranty all of our workmanship/craftsmanship, but we have very little quality control over lumber beyond what we see when we purchase it. That being said, we will stand behind what we install within reason, based on the choices the customer makes at the time of the sale. Obviously, we want our customers to be happy with their purchase and their choice in us as their contractor! Keith---740-438-9135

Keith Pickens answered the phone when I called and came out right away to give me an estimate. Because of the weather the work had to wait. As soon as the snow melted Keith called on Monday to say they would fix the fence this week and it is Wednesday and the fence is fixed! I have only positive comments about this transaction. The repair was great, the workers pleasant and professional. Work site was cleaned up when they were done.

I would give him very high marks. His price was competitive and he provided timely service. He did very good work and cleaned up after himself. We will use him again.

Response from The Fence Guy
I have gone through all of my messages from my Angies List message center, gone through e-mails and voice-mails, and I have nothing from Mr. [MEMBER NAME REMOVED]. AND, being that the date was in January, there is no way we would have missed an appointment since we have very little going on at this time. Mr. [MEMBER NAME REMOVED] is welcome to contact me directly at Keithdrummer69@yahoo.com if he has information contrary to this. I take this job very seriously and our Rating speaks for itself.

Keith did a great job listening to what we wanted and adjusting our quote to the amount of work we finally decided to have done. He was always very courteous and professional. He rebuilt the fence from scratch and his workmanship is EXCELLENT. I would have no reservations in recommending him and plan to use him again in the future.

Fantastic. First of all I want to address the negative comments that Mr. Pickens did not return calls. I think those people must have changed their numbers. He kept in constant communication with me, updating me on when he could come out as we have had horrendous weather since we contracted his services. He explained why he wasn't able to build on certain days. I never felt like I wasn't in the loop about the project. When he discussed the project with my husband, he listened to what our needs were and made suggestions for improving the project we didn't know existed without increasing the cost. Keith and his workers worked non-stop and each time I was always surprised how quickly the work went. The fence is beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The cost was more than fair. I am so thrilled we used The Fence Guy for our project!

Project went very well once they got started. Weather issues were a factor at the beginning, but the gentlemen that tore down the old fence and built the new one were very efficient and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time. They even put up a temporary fence for our dogs while the posts were setting up. The new fence is beautiful and looks like it cost a lot more that what it did. They even hauled away some timbers and wood and Keith Pickens (the company owner) promised to re-purpose the items they hauled away, this was very important to us. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Upon our first contact with Keith he was very prompt and professional. He met with my husband to confirm exactly what we needed and quoted a price immediately. He worked with our budget and was very easy to work with about pricing. The fence was built within the next couple weeks. It was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Upon completion we found out that our property line wasn't where we originally thought it was. We contacted Keith about what we would need to do to move the fence. He was very quick to come out and help us fix our mistake. (not Keith's) It was definitely a very reasonable cost for the amount of work required to move the brand new fence that they so beautifully installed. The crew that Keith has helping to install fence is also very professional and courteous. They work very fast and completed everything as promised and under budget.

He called me back within 15 minutes. He said he could stop by that same day. Sure enough he came by and spent 35-40 minutes. Super super nice man. He explained everything every well. He said he would even stop back by and give me an extra part that I never had and didn't know that I needed. He didn't even charge me the regular price which is $100 he actually only charged me $20. I will recomending him to anyone.

Response from The Fence Guy
My response to this is simple--Mr. (member name removed) first sent me a message through Angies List on the 4th asking for a call back. I did so immediately. I left a message. I called back on the 5th. I finally heard back from him on the 10th requesting an on-site estimate. At the time of the call I was on an installation in Galena, Mr. (member name removed) lives in Orient, QUITE a distance in the other direction(that being stated, how would we have even made an appointment on the same day??). The estimate was set for the next day, Wednesday the 11th. I called him to let him know I was headed his way and he informed me that I had "not shown up and he had found another contractor". Fair enough, but I did not miss the appointment, he cancelled it. Leaving me negative feedback and comments are uncalled for. We are professionals and have a high rating for a reason.

There were significant delays getting HOA approval to replace our fence. We kept Keith, the owner, informed of progress with the HOA. As soon as we received approval, he was able to get us onto the schedule within a week. The fence was finished in the late evening so it was almost pitch dark outside. Upon inspection the next day, we found some crooked boards and some issues with installation of the gates. Keith explained that a contractor had finished the job and came out the very next day himself to correct the work. We were very impressed with his responsiveness and concern for quality. The fence looks great. We are contacting him now to get an extimate on clear coating the fence after his recommendation to let it season for a year.

Keith failed to show up for our appointment. I called him the next day intending to reschedule, but changed my mind as we talked. He didn't remember my name or my voice (we had talked twice before within a few days and exchanged phone messages), said that he didn't remember the appointment -- when it was, where it was, what I wanted, all of which we had discussed, twice -- and then (inconsistently) claimed that he had "tried to call" me "many" times the day before. When I said there were no messages in my voice mail he got defensive. He offered to come over right away, but I refused. I would have accepted a reasonable explanation but I don't want to work with a contractor who is just so, well, unprofessional.

Response from The Fence Guy
Let me first begin with the actual estimate was scheduled for Tueday, July 23rd. She called me to inform me that I had missed our appointment on Monday, and being in the field on an installation, not having any paperwork with me, I had no way to confirm or disprove this. I aplogized and offered to come right then and she refused and became quite combative. I chose to end the call at that time. We strive very diligently to meet our clients needs, but mistakes get made. We are human. However, in this case, we did not miss the mark.

With it being summertime and having weather delays, we did have to wait for the install. That is to be expected. It was well worth the wait. Keith is very honest with his customers and will let you know that he is not a "business man". Keep this in mind and you will have no problems. I've already passed his number on!

Keith was great. He contacted me back first thing the morning after I sent an e-mail. That day he drove to my home and measured the yard, and called me with a quote. The price was a little higher than I expected, because the size of the yard was much bigger than originally thought. Will be calling The Fence Guy when we can afford to move forward with the fence. THANKS KEITH!

Initial experience with The Fence Guy went extremely well. Keith is very polite and was accommodating when scheduling an appt. to give me an estimate on our fence. We had just bought a house and would be moving in and needed a fence for our dogs. Keith was extremely accommodating about installing the fence prior to our arrival so that our dogs would be safe, and even installed the base for our basketball hoop. The fence went up and all was good but Keith had noted that there were approximately 50 boards on the fence that were cracked and needed to be replace; when he finished the fence he told my wife he would be back to replace those boards. I called him back in the middle of summer as the boards hadn't been replaced and Keith told me he was going to wait until the end of summer because of how hot the weather was in late July/early August. It is now over a year past now and the fence looks terrible. Even neighbors have made comments about the fence, which is embarrassing to say the least. It was a handshake deal and I did my part; still holding out hope that my fence will be completed.
