We fenced in our mostly wooded backyard with over 500 feet of galvanized chain link fencing. We installed ornamental aluminum fencing closer to the house. There were a number of factors that set American Fence apart from other contractors. They provided all the details about the quality of the materials they planned to use right on the estimate, and they did not use the cheapest materials. Other contractors left the technical details out like the gauge of the posts and it was not until I asked questions that I learned they were using the cheapest materials. American Fence took the time to listen to what I wanted, and made good recommendations for what met my needs. One contractor that I was ready to hire did not tell me that they were not planning to use concrete to secure the posts in the woods until I was ready to sign the contract. They claimed it would be better to just drive longer posts deeper into the ground. My research found that it would only be better for them because it would be much less work and they could install the chain link the same day they sunk the posts. American Fence did not try to take any shortcuts, and they did a great job securing all the posts with concrete. My fence is level and straight, and I am very pleased with the work. The owner worked with city to secure the necessary license and permit. The installation crew was very professional and gave me some additional advice about fencing. I would definitely recommend working with this company if you are looking to have a fence installed.

Overall, went well. They had the cedar fence option, which no one else seemed to have. Service was performed as indicated - wait was about a month or so (as we were told). Service was performed properly and clean-up was great. Only downside - called them back a month later to add another 8 ft section after the neighbor removed their fence. Due to minimum job amounts, the cost was almost 1/3 of the entire first fence job, which was crazy for 8 ft of fence. Note: this was never mentioned to me when I asked them upon the initial visit about the possibility of adding an additional 8 ft. section - they said they could do it, but never said how crazy the pricing would be. However, overall I would highly recommend American Fence!!!
Description of Work: Needed just about 70 ft of fence on one-side of the yard.

The sales representative was very knowledgeable, friendly and detailed accurate with the free estimate. The work was 8-9 weeks out from the date of the estimate. Work began within the 8th week and was completed within a week. No one was home during the work, however, I came home from work to a professional and clean job. Loved my gate!!

The crew of four were remarkable. They worked well together to get all posts leveled and set in concrete. After allowing the concrete to completely dry, they came back to finish the boards. The fence is beautiful and we are very pleased with the workmanship.
Description of Work: One side of the yard was previously fenced by American Fence Co. and we needed to have the rest of the yard done. I called and promptly got an estimate. We needed to have a hedge removed as well as a few small trees before the job could be started.

Beyond satisfied with this company. After the tear down they made sure to put up a temporary fence to keep my 3 dogs in the yard. And, knowing that I have dogs they were back in 2 days to install the fence. Very accommodating. Even came back Immediately when I found a space my mini doxie could fit through.

I had recently adopted a very large dog that took me for walks several times a day (yes, HE took ME for walks). As the weather got colder, I pictured myself being dragged down icy sidewalks by this small horse. I realized I needed a fenced in yard, and I needed it FAST. I called American Fence and asked that someone come out for an estimate as soon as possible. Within a couple of days, a representative from American Fence came to my home to give me an estimate. He was punctual, professional, polite, and knowledgeable. I had always heard chain link fences were expensive, so I was very happy to learn it would cost me less than $1000.00. They took a 1/3 deposit and started the process to secure a building permit. Within a few days of the building permit being issued (there is a 10-day waiting period in my city), they called to say that they'd had a change in their work schedule for that day and asked if they could come out to begin putting in posts. Of course, I said yes! The two workmen who came to my home were friendly (even after my dog tried to take a chunk out of one of them) and expeditious. Today, they finished the job and I am very very happy with the results. The fence itself looks as good as a chain link fence can look and is sturdy. My four-legged beast now has a yard to run around in and he seems thrilled, as well. A tired dog is a good dog! To summarize, I was very pleased with American Fence's responsiveness, professionalism, price, and quality. I would highly recommend them.

Everything went very smoothly and professionally. Tom was very helpful during the initial estimate and design appointment and kindly helped us during the Architectural Design Board meeting. His crew was very professional and friendly during the installation. They worked efficiently and minimized the mess and cleaned up after themselves. The fence turned out looking very good and is much less visible than I anticipated. It should be a long-lasting deer fence. It has certainly kept the deer out so far (1 month.) The whole experience with American Fence was quite pleasant; it's too bad I can't say the same about the city Architectural Review Board.
Description of Work: American Fence installed an 8' high deer fence around our back yard -- 475 feet of fence. Prior to installing the fence, we had about 12 deer walking and browsing though our yard twice a day. American Fence made recommendations about where to put gates and how wide the gates should be. Tom attended a city Architectural Review Board meeting with us and answered the Board members' questions. His crew then installed the posts on the first day. The corner posts and the gate posts were set in concrete. The City inspected the post holes before the concrete was poured. The next week, after the concrete had set, the crew stretched a tension wire along the top of the posts and hung the black plastic mesh fabric.

There was a bit of a wait because we signed up in October and the wait was until December. However, when they started, they got it done in 2 days, which was great. The people they sent out to do the work were all professional and the foreman asked for my input. Dealing with the manger was nice and they also gave me an Angie's List discount.

The owner came out to take measurements and give me a quote one evening, which was helpful so that I did not have to take time off work. I received a quote before he left. The work began about a month later. They actually started the job sooner than I had anticipated so as to get the posts in before the first big snow storm of the season. I had a lot of overgrown shrubs around the property line that the crew took out, bundled and placed on the tree lawn per city requirements. It was a lot of work and I can't believe that they did it all. My yard is very big so the job took a few days, but after the initial day when I had to be home to give a verbal sign off for where the posts would be placed, I didn't have to be home for the following days they were working. The entire crew was an exceptional group of men. They were all so professional and kind. My dog isn't a fan of strangers, but by the end of the job, he was running around the back yard with the team. I never thought a fence was something I would call "beautiful" but my fence really is beautiful! I am so pleased with the construction and the appearance. Plus, it is unstained cedar so my yard smells wonderful! I definitely will recommend American Fence to anyone who asks. I can't say enough good things about my experience!

I was very well pleased, they did an excellent job. When I called them they came out to give me an estimate. They asked a lot of questions which made me feel good about it. I did have to make a deposit of 1/3 of the price before they could start the work. I also checked them on the BBB and they had a good record. Because it was a small job they let me know it could actually be done sooner than originally estimated. The 2 men came out to do the job and they were very professional and I thought they understood the job very thoroughly. They even took some of the old fence in the back yard rather than waiting for the garbage pick up. I was very pleased, extremely pleased. I also recommended them to some other people.

.Block behind us lots are narrower and do not line up with our block. A neighbor behind us had put up a 6' fence across the back of her property. We wanted to finish the fence across our lot line for uniformity, a length of 25'. American Fence gave us a competitive bid. We were very pleased with their work and when our City Building Dept inspected the job after it was done they left a form in the door with "approved" checked and a handwritten "Good Job!". They did an excellent job keeping the fence within our lot line, and making a short jog to match up with the neighbor's. We would use them again.

Gave us a quote for our fencing needs, we wanted fence installed before winter as we moved in late fall and they were not able to fit us into their schedule until spring 2014. Tom the owner was extremely professional, courteous, gave us ideas on our original design thoughts that we would implement in the future. Their quote was competitive and we would def use them in future.

The cost estimate, site survey, and the fence installation all went well, as expected. The installers (crew) were punctual and very courteous. The job was impressively done, well before my deadline, which was somewhat flexible, but nevertheless, this company seemed to press the elements to meet my needs. I'm a happy customer and have no hesitation recommending them to others...

First the estimate. Very thorough. Next American came out and put up posts. It took a few days for the cement to dry. Then the workers started assembling the fence. It did not come preassembled. All work was done on the job. The work was done in a very timely manner.
Description of Work: American put up a fence in my back yard. The work was excellent and the workers left the property as if noone had been there. They were were neat. The fence was assembled piece by piece on the property. If I had a problem, the owner was at my house within a day or two.

We just bought a house that did not have a fully fenced in backyard. We have a dog who's a really good jumper (and would chase a squirrel over a fence and run to the next city chasing it before she even realized she wasn't in the backyard anymore), so we decided to get a privacy fence installed. We called a half a dozen companies to come out and give us quotes. Several of them didn't come at all, two of them seemed to have a grudge against each other because they bad-mouthed each other to me, but there were two good companies that stood out. In the end my father-in-law knew someone in the fencing industry who suggested American Fence Company which happened to be my first choice. It wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but I was most impressed with the man who came out to give me the estimate. He was punctual and very professional. He said the crews they have working for them build the fence on-site and are OCD about keeping it level and even. He didn't play around with the deal he could get me on the price--he said he was allowed to go down by 5% so he did without me even asking him to. He didn't bad-mouth any other companies out there either. He even told me what I needed to do to get my backyard ready for the crew to work on it and gave me ideas where I could find a tree-removal service to get rid of the large shrub that was in the way of the fence. On the 29th the crew came out and laid the concrete and support poles for the fence. A week later they finished the fence. They too were very professional and punctual. I'm very happy with the quality of work--it's perfect, just like I was promised. I almost feel bad that I didn't redo the neighbor's privacy fence which runs along my backyard--it looks awful by comparison!

Removing the chain link fence was the easy part. While digging holes for the fence posts, some of the holes were a challenge and had to be dug by hand because of some old tree roots from pine trees that I had removed. They never complained. They just made it happen. There was an issue of trying to go around a telephone poll because the property line was so close but they also made that happened. They kept us informed every step of the way. The best part of the fence is that it is assembled on site because it is tongue and groove. The panels are not premade and then brought in like you get from Home Depot and Lowes. I am so happy with the end result I would recommend them to everyone.
Description of Work: I had 3/4 of my yard fenced in. They had to remove a chain link fence first and then replace it with vinyl fencing.
