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

It went pretty good. I would recommend the Fence Guy for all your fencing needs. No need to micro-manage these folks. They will get the work done and to your satisfaction. They did not ask for any money down for my project and when complete, I paid in full. I have told all my neighbors about my wonderful fence and these guys.

Everything went very smoothly. The old fence was removed quickly and the new one went up just as fast. The couple who put the new one up was so nice and wonderful with our dog. Keith was extremely easy to work with, responded quickly, and answered any questions we had. I’ve recommended The Fence Guy to friends and family, as well as on social media sites, and would ABSOLUTELY use him again if need be.

Keith Pickens got back to us within days, came out and got us an estimate. I wanted to "comparison shop" so contacted 3 other Angie's List fencing outfits. Two of the three never returned our requests for estimates or contacted us at all. A third did come out to survey the situation and sent us an estimate, but it was wrong in several specifics we recommended, so I was reluctant to trust their reliability. It took 7 weeks of waiting for a second estimate, so we went with The Fence Guy and are glad we did. Extra-hard-working crew of 2 dug up old posts and put in lovely new fence. Excellent job!!!
Description of Work: Two sections of our back privacy fence had fallen in. We decided it was time to replace the 82' length fence with 7' cedar pickets on pressure-treated 4" x4" posts and 2" x 4" stringers.

They were fantastic. I selected them because of their high rating on Angie's list and I was not disappointed. The price was very reasonable. They got it in within a week or so of my contacting them. I am very happy with the quality of the fence and the work that was done. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. The entire process was trouble-free. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: I hired them to put up a 6 foot tall pine privacy fence around the backyard with two gates.

I called Keith in May when a friend recommended him. He came out and took some measurements, said that he would be here in two weeks to finish up. Then it was a month. Then he had to order some wood. Then I tried calling and his voicemail was full. I give up - I'm calling someone else.

Their craftsmanship and work was very good. There were a few delays due to weather then another delay due to obtaining material. His team worked all day on a Saturday to ensure we had a fence to keep our special needs child safe and get her back outside before we went back to work.

Amazing! Received three estimates for my Fence installation project. By far, The Fence Guy, was the way to go cannot beat his quality and his low prices cannot compare to the competition. It is no wonder he is so busy. Great communication! Always answered phone, or responded to a voicemail immediately! Came out in person for the estimate. His crew was very professional and have some serious skill

I contacted Keith to have him install a 6 foot wood fence around my son's property as a birthday present. I live in Texas and he is in Ohio. I spoke with Keith over the phone and told him I would be in town for a quick visit to arrange things and could he get it done in the next week. He agreed to it all and got the fence installed in time for the birthday present. Nice job and GREAT customer service. The fence looks great too!

Response from The Fence Guy
We did infact measure the property at [Member Information Removed] in Pickerington and provided a written estimate, on letterhead, in an envelope, in the members door. I also called this member, from his yard and left a voicemail stating this. I also left a business card that said "please call me regarding your fence estimate"(I always do). This person did not call me back, and I do not solicit after-the-fact out of respect to the customer and my competition. To date, I have NOT received any other correspondence from this person.

Contacted Keith after getting another quote ( Keith's quote was around 40% less than first quote.) Keith gave me an estimate during the week of Christmas and to my surprise let me know that his team could get my fence installed in January. (I expected spring due to Ohio weather.) Keith was very responsive provided lots of communication. He called or texted each day if they could not make it due to muddy weather. Keith was able to provide all the documentation needed for my HOA to get approval without issue. The Fence looks amazing and we are very happy with Keith and his team.

We love the fence. Originally I was thinking split rail, but Keith was right to suggest the 3 board fence I installed. He came out for the estimate when he said he would and gave me the estimate before he left my house. He is straight forward and honest. He was responsive to my calls and to my schedule. I had to back the work up a few weeks as the cement contractor doing work in the yard couldn't finish up as soon as I thought he would. Amy was my installer and she was great. She always let me know what was going on, when she would be there, or why she wouldn't. It took a little longer to install than any of us wanted, but we were sabotaged by Mother Nature for most of December! Amy made sure the weather wasn't going to cause problems somewhere down the road, so sometimes we just had to wait it out. I would rather have great quality work than a fence put in under adverse conditions. I have no doubt that if any issues which develop, they will be handled with every bit as much professionalism as the install was. Thanks you guys!

Response from The Fence Guy
This job was a no-win situation because the father was paying for it and wanted one thing and the daughter who lived at the residence didn't agree with it. Multiple phone calls back and forth and too much he-said/she-said. We do not get involved in family disputes, respectfully.

We loved working with Keith’s installer, Amy. She is knowledgeable, strong, professional, helpful, smart, funny and about as nice as they come. We loved working with Keith’s installer, Amy. She is knowledgeable, strong, professional, helpful, smart, funny and about as nice as they come. In setting up the job, Keith selected high quality materials, and he worked out a nice design. I really like the way the fence slopes from the 6-foot-tall section down to the 4-foot-tall section, and Amy was able to make the fence straight in spite of the fact that the back lawn is not altogether level. Also, we had an unusual tree growing into the old fence — the bees love it — and she was able to trim the tree enough to install the new fence. We're so glad not to lose that tree. We are delighted with our new beautiful new cedar fence, and we enjoyed having Amy around while it was being installed.

Keith was great to work with. He came out the same day we called to give an estimate, and it was only a few weeks before installation. He handled everything and I was very happy with the price. He and his crew were polite, professional and hard-working. John and Heidi even worked late to get the project done quickly. Our new fence looks great, and we'll definitely be recommending The Fence Guy to friends and family in the future.

On April 22, 2016, Keith Pickins came out, measured the site, and sat down with us to talk about the work that his company could do for us. He was in our home for a couple of hours--mostly chatting with my huband about old bands they played in, musicians they knew, etc. He left promising to email the estimate to us, along with some photo samples of fencing that we might like, and that was the last we ever saw or heard from him. I even sent him an email before he left our house so that he would have our email address to respond to. Nothing. We don't know for sure what happened, but after reading the "F' rating reviews, we were not the first to be treated that way by Mr. Pickens.

Response from The Fence Guy
I'll just say this, the Snyders are an awesome couple and we know quite a few of the same people. That being said, I do not appreciate feeling like my political preferences are swaying the sale of a job one way or another, and thats the direction this went. And, they were in fact responded to, the day after the estimate. Its my discretion to whom I choose to work with and who I don't, especially if I feel that its a compromise of my values to do so.
