This is a project that has been on my list since I bought the house, and it was complicated by the mature vegetation from the neighbor's side along the fence line. I had received at least four estimates over the years, perhaps more. Keith's estimate was not only the most reasonable, but Keith himself brought a level of expertise no other person had. For example, he looked at the fence along the easement and told me right away it was built in the 1930s, and he would not be able to find exact replacement parts. Nonetheless, he managed to find in his fence fitting collection a heavy gauge of metal that would match the fence. He also used a top on the end post that would make it almost impossible for the fence to be vandalized again. The privacy fence was built perfectly to match the existing privacy fence. And the gate! It is in a difficult location, and it is not only well-built but now has the proper metal closures. He knows fences. He not only knows fences, but also he takes both their construction and their aesthetics seriously. As I said, this was a project complicated by vegetation, and he collaborated with the arborist to devise the best way to get the work done. (See my review for Ron of Ohio Tree Care. It took me years to find people of this caliber, and I call them the "dream team.") As you might expect, he is very busy, so I had to wait about a month (and this was a Winter project), but it was well worth the wait!

I interviewed 5 companies...all seemed to do great work. The prices were a bit scattered and the only concern I had with Mr. Pickens' quote was it was the lowest by a good deal. I read other review where they indicated their initial concern with this too. "Will I get a great product in the end for this price?" I can confirm what the others concluded.....hire Mr. Pickens. His attention to detail is incredible. We had the fence installed between trees with one side of the fence having to flow with a hill. By default, he cements his posts....that was a a paid upgrade with the other companies. With Mr. Pickens, it's the best way and only way to do it. He suggested installing green mesh so it would blend in with our landscape. It looks great. We've received numerous compliments from our neighboors on how nice the fence blends in with our landscaping. The fence looks great! When you consider who hire, read Mr. Picken's reviews and do not worry about his pricing.....he's not hiding anything. As he stated to me when I asked him about his pricing, he loves what he does and is comfortable with what he charges. You can't go wrong with The Fence Guy. Thanks, Mr. Pickens.

Keith always showed up on time from the day he came to measure to the day he finished. He did the work so quickly and professionally that we were impressed. The fence looks great and works perfectly and he did it in a shorter time than we expected, right before we moved in so that our dogs could be safe in the back yard. We chose him to do the job because of the reports here and we are very glad we did.

The Fence Guy did a fantastic job, on time, and on price. Excellent workmanship and high quality material. He did what he said he would do and he's very easy to work with. I would definitely use him again.

Keith, a.k.a. The Fence Guy, rescued me from a fence project that I had stalled out on for over a year. His team came out and amazingly installed the fence in one day, to the applause of my spouse and neighbors. The fence looks perfect - level and straight, and much better than I could have done. Keith's pricing is great, quality perfect, and he is a genuinely nice guy to have work on your property. I would recommend everyone call him first, as I will for my next project.

Came when expected and did an excellent job for the agreed upon price.

Keith came out at the date and time promised to provide an estimate and we scheduled a work date for a week later at that time. He called the night before to let us know his approximate arrival time and then called the next morming to let us know that he was on his way. He and his son went to work quickly, and before long, I had a beautiful new fence. The two of them worked in tandem and completed the job within about four hours. AMAZING!!! Keith is polite and completely professional and a pleasure to work with.

I had the Fence guy come out to give me an estimate on the removal and a new installation of approx 260 ft of fence. He came out and took the measurements but never heard from him again. If it was determined that he did not want to job it would have been nice to communicate this via email or a phone call. Regardless I choose another company. 6/02/2011- update- Keith contacted me in regards to the report, although I do not have the original email he sent I can only take his word that this may have been a misunderstanding.

From first contact with Keith to the finish of this project everything went the way we had planned. Keith communicated with us on every detail and he did everything that we had agreed on. The quality of the work was excellent! I would Highly recommend Keith Pickens for any type of fence work. In this day and age you do not often find people like Keith and the quality of his work!

Keith fenced in our back yard, the work was excellent and done in a very timely manner. Keith always kept us informed of what was going to happen at all times. Untimely March weather and other issues did cause him to put us off. Keith had wonderful ideas and suggestions, and worked fast and well. He did not charge extra for us needing three gates and made them look very good, even giving us a double at the back of our lot. He gives great value for the dollar and came in way under another estimate. Keth gave us a life time wrrenty with our fence and he is a man of his word. We are very satisfied and would use him again, he truely is the Fence Guy.

I found Keith Pickens (owner/operator of The Fence Guy) through craigslist while I was searching for someone to install a fence in my back yard. I did check prices through larger companies compared to what Keith quoted, and Keith was by far the most reasonably priced. He is the sales guy and installer, which drove down the cost considerably. I was very cautious and skeptical due to the price point, but Keith did allow me to acquire the fence material directly with the supplier as opposed to providing him my credit card. I was also concerned with the craftsmanship due to the price as well. All of these concerns are completely gone now that I saw the finished product. Outstanding job! My wife and I couldn't be happier with the work he did. He was very personable and did a great job. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone that has a small/large fence job that you want completed. I can't speak to other fencing material, but he did a great job with our aluminum fence (looks like wrought iron).

We had used Keith about 10 years ago to install a cedar privacy fence around our rather large back yard. After time, a juniper bush was overtaking part of the the fence near the front of our back yard and needed to be removed. Caught up in the middle of the bush was an old chain-link fence that we had left there when the original privacy fence was installed. Keith came out to look over the project and agreed to remove the bush and an old chain-link fence that was caught up within the giant juniper bush. He was to replace the gate and replace the chain-link fence with a new cedar privacy fence. The project started out OK....until he broke a chain in his saw trying to cut down the bush. Two chains later, he removed the bush and hauled one load of bush away in his trailer. The bush was too big to get all of it in the trailer at one time. Once he started on the fence and gate, the project moved pretty fast. The new gate and fence were up within a few hours and he even fixed another gate that was not working as well as it should have. In hindsight, the bush was probably more of a challenge than either of us had envisioned, but it's gone and the new fence - minus the sprawling juniper bush - looks great.
