Cedar Grove Fence Specialists

This is the second time I have used them. The pricing was ok. It was a little higher than other people, but their quality was better. Their price wasn't out of the ballpark. They were good with punctuality and responsiveness. The did very good on their professionalism.

This company was awesome to work with. I had to delay my planned installation seveal times since I was having problems removing a backyard shed, which needed to go away before the fence was installed. They were very gracious about delaying the installation until I was ready, even though I know the materials had already arrived. I had a small problem after the first day where my most creative dog found a way to wiggle under the fence gap. They came back out the next day and solved the problem,

very pleased with the outcome of the fence. Workers were vey courteous and cleaned up the area when completed and did the work in a timely manner even when it was very hot and humid when they were working.

David and his crews were professional, courteous, flexible and very responsive. Our fence is beautiful! If you are planning on fencing your property, please consider Cedar Grove Fence Specialist!

I worked with Dave to get the best fence for my dogs. They did the work while I was out of town and my neighbors gave them great reviews! This is my second Cedar Grove fence. Highly recommend them!

I moved into a new home and needed a fence quickly for my dogs. My HOA required approval and David was willing to help me with that process and make changes as needed. Once approved, David was quick to accommodate my request. I have a beautiful new fence and my dogs are happy!

I highly recommend Cedar Grove Fence Specialists. My job was scheduled quickly and completed on time. Each member of the crew was professional and great to work with. They even removed several large shrubs for me and cleaned up the entire area. The workmanship is superb and the fence is beautiful! I've received many compliments on it and have recommended Cedar Grove to several people already.

The guys did a great job installing our wood fence. In a follow up call by them to check on our satisfaction, I mentioned the tops of some of the boards were rough/splintered. They had someone come out the very next day to smooth them down. Very satisfied.

They were fabulous. Their work was exceptionally good. The people were very accommodating. I would absolutely use them again.

I would use them if the price was right.

David was super fast in getting out to us and getting us a quote. He was the 3rd person we had met with that day, but was the first at getting us our quote. It took awhile after the deposit was paid for the work to be done, but that was disclosed when we made the deposit. It took 2 days to get everything done once they started, but could have been done faster if not for things out of their control (our neighbor decided to have trees cut down in their yard but our yard was blocked by the machinery.) They stayed well after dark to get everything completed on the second day. The installers were very friendly, hard working, and professional. We were very happy with the work and the look of the fence and would recommend them to anyone. When we need any more work, we will definitely give David a call.

Great job. One day to set the posts and one day to build the fence.

The provider paid us an initial visit in order to take measurements of the existing fence. He then discussed with us the type of fencing material we were wanting and provided us with an estimate. We elected to contract for his services at that time and paid him 1/2 of the estimated price so that he could purchase materials. He began work on our new fence 20 days later. He first removed the existing fence as well as the existing posts/concrete. He then poured new concrete in the post holes and mounted the new posts in the concrete filled holes. The posts were left to set for two days at which time he returned and installed the remainder of the fence, including the new gate and anchor holes. Finally, at our request, he removed the old fencing material from our property. Our new fence is exactly as we specified that we wanted it during our initial discussions with the provider.

Amazing!! We were absolutely thrilled with our experience! The man who came out to give us an estimate was knowledgeable & friendly. We received an estimate within 24 hours and were very happy with the price, after researching online estimates & materials costs. The crew arrived the next week and were easy to talk to and got right to work. The three men were skilled and got this huge job done in a few days! We couldn't believe it. The fence looks perfect! The gates are sturdy & look great. We are very happy with the entire experience!

Before the installation began I told the job foreman that he couldn't install the fence right next to the brand new retaining wall, because of 6 to 8 inches of gravel, but he said that it would not pose a problem. Elongating and widening the hole so that the concrete would project into the land would have anchored it properly, but of course he didn't do that. They installed the fence in short order. I went out and checked the job for linear perfection, and sturdiness: I was pleased with the results. It looked beautiful! I had already contracted a crew to come out to landscape my yard, and it was the same crew that installed my retaining wall earlier in the year, before the fence was erected. The owner (Chris) came to me, and asked me if I had noticed my fence lately, and of course I had seen it from the side, and it looked fine. well, it had been blown over so that it was completely in disarray: each post being blown over to different degrees. with hardly a post (except for the post closest to the corner post) plumb like it been originally, and it looked terrible. Chris said that the fence had been improperly installed, and that the post were sunk into the gravel only. I realized that what he said was true, and I told him that I warned the fence installer that there was gravel there, but that he said he would ensure everything was ok. Chris said that the burden of responsibility, regardless of circumstances, is placed upon the professional, because that's what he gets paid for; if he couldn't install the fence so that it would stay up, and perform properly, he has an obligation to tell the customer, but then I had already informed him of the gravel. I waited until the crew finished landscaping the front and back yard before I called the fence people so they could come without encumbrance to each other. I called on May 6th, and David assured me that the crew would come out the next week right after they finished the job they were on. I waited until I couldn't wait any longer, and I called him on June 3rd, which was 28 days later. David said that he'd forgotten (I didn't believe he could forget total dissatisfaction from a customer), and he assured me that the crew would be out the beginning of the following week, so I thanked him and waited, but no-show. Finally on June 12th (Friday) David emails me and apologizes for the mix-up, and assures me that the crew will be out no later than Tuesday. I felt confident this time, because he's promising me in writing; of course my hopes are dashed when he's a no-show. Twelve days later, on June 24th, he emails me again, and says that the rain slowed him down (there wasn't that much rain), and they would be out the next week. You must be getting the idea of what will happen in the future of this story, concerning this "seemingly" descent and reliable older man (David Fraley), but I'll go on and tell you the rest of the story anyway. The next week goes by without any adherence to promises made, and he doesn't call or email. I guess he thinks I am a fool, and I must be getting tired; when these things occurred to me I thought that he must realize that this is Angie's list, so consequently, that made me feel that he had a tried and true way of rooking me out of his obligation to the job. I still haven't figured out his game plan, but then at this point it doesn't matter. I guess I am a little bit of a fool for being so patient, and not taking sterner action against him. Finally after being a week late he calls me on July 2nd; I call him back, and he then uses my "possible" unreliability as an "out," and says he will come out the following week to assess the job himself. That was something that should have been done the first time I called him. It is always the following week with David, but then he does keep this appointment, and agrees that I have a real problem (it should have been his problem). David tells me that these types of fences are suppose to wave in the breeze, and I told him that he was wrong about that; I told him that they should give a little, but the post shouldn't really move, just flex a little, and if the job had been done properly the first time, there wouldn't even be a problem. I told him that when a post is anchored in gravel or sand that the wind will blow them over, and gravel or sand will fill into the space created by the post rolling to the side. In time, if the wind blows the opposite way, sand or gravel will do their magic again, filling in on the opposite side, until the post or pole is completely out of the ground, depending on whether there is something that can restrain the post or pole. The supporting unity (rails) of my fence are the only reason my fence is still in the ground. I tell him this two more times when he insists that they did the job right the first time. I said that the fence was made to blow out of the post in severe winds without uprooting the post. He agrees, but his desire for money, his pride, and his reluctance to correct the fence will not allow him to admit failure, and restore the fence to original status. Anyone who contracts Cedar Grove Fencing needs to know the full story; sorry for the length of this review. At this point I am sure he has made up his mind to cheat me out of an Angie's list guaranteed excellent job done. I have the emails sent, and the times we talked recorded on my phones. David Fraley doesn't realize I have pictures I took over 8 months ago, of which I will upload right after finalizing this review; the fence looks even worst now than it did then. I will update the review by following up later with the most recent pictures when the weather is better for pictures, before the problem is corrected by the new contractor. I am still waiting to hear something from David Fraley, and it is February 29, 2016, over a year later than the job was originally completed (well, maybe not completed: attempted). There is no need for him to call now though, unless he wants to complain about my treatment of him in this review; I have talked with someone that will do the job right this time, even though I will be out a lot of money, especially since I am a retired poor person who can't afford to pay for the same job twice.

The entire process with Cedar Grove was painless! A very fast response to my inquiry for a quote, an educated explaination of the work and materials followed a crew that was second to none!. They were professional, prompt and skilled. They were understanding and accommodating as we had a slight issue with one of our neighbors. I thought the guys were true quality pros and were also personable and fun to chat with! They worked their tails off in the snow and ice. I am SO glad that I used Angie's List to find Cedar Grove and that I ultimately selected them as my fence contractor. Stellar work!

They were excellent. I would recommend Cedar Grove, the owner was very good, I actually got three estimates and his was the best, his was the best price and he offered the same things that the other two were offering but he didn't charge us much alot of value for what we got compared to the other two. Punctuality was perfect. They were an outstanding company. They were really good and they did just a fantastic job. We actually have a garden in our tomato plants and other stuff planted hang the whole fence and they were very very careful, they were good.

I was really impressed with David's eye for detail and professionalism. I had other contractors out earlier but they either couldn't grasp what I wanted or they were too expensive. David even matched the lowest price I had received. Money well spent! I would definitely hire them again and not hesitate to refer them to friends.

I contacted them through Angie's List to get someone to come out and look at my fence, as the gate had fallen off. The owner responded and said they would send someone over to look at it. This was a month ago. I haven't heard from them since.

We didn't even have to be home!! everything was perfect. Took 50% down payment for materials.

I would like to thank David and his family for working we us. Our timeline was all over the place due to complications at closing, however they were able to work their timeline around ours and get our fence in with barely any delay. Great product, great service, and great communication.

Everything done to requirements. Took a little longer than expected due to the weather but they were out on a Sat to finish it off.

Company did not show up for scheduled appointment.

In 1999, Cedar Grove replaced an old split rail fence from the 1970's that ran along two sides of my yard. I had them install a Jerith black aluminum fence and was extremely pleased with their work. In April of this year, I had the honeysuckle removed from the back of the lot and needed the old farm fence removed, so I called Cedar Grove again. The owner came out the day after my phone call to look at what I needed and provide an estimate. He let me know that the price on the Jerith fence had gone up astronomically and that if I wanted an exact match to the existing fence they would need to special order it, but that another company made a fence that was nearly identical in style and construction at a lower cost. I signed the contract for the second fence (plus removal of one honeysuckle stump that would have to come out AFTER the old farm fence was cut away from it, and gave him a deposit. He indicated that it would be 2-3 weeks or so before the fence came in. Right on target, he called me when the fence arrived, and they were out to do the installation later that week. The two people who came out to install the fence were very friendly and professional. It turned out that an additional honeysuckle stump was also in the way of the fence line once they got the old fence out. They removed that stump at no extra charge. They worked quickly and carefully, and even stayed a bit late the first day to be sure they had the back of the lot and the corner completed so that my dogs could not get out before they returned the next day. They did a great job matching up the new fence with the existing side despite the fact that the corner is on a significant slope and the lot drops off into a ditch just feet beyond the fence line. They were very careful while working on the side in my flower bed and behind my lilac bushes, and did a fabulous job of cleaning up. I found absolutely no debris anywhere. There were a couple of low spots in the yard and they placed the dirt from the posts near the low spots for me to spread. I was very pleased with every aspect of the sale and installation. One of the installers noticed that an existing gate needed adjusted and took care of that. Mr Fraley stopped by on the first day to be sure that things were going well and that I didn't have any concerns. My mother has also used Cedar Grove for fences at three different homes over the years. Cedar Grove will ALWAYS get my family's fencing business.

Excellent service and very reasonable pricing. Work was performed promptly and on time. Ability to reuse parts of existing fence saved money.
