FIX-A-FENCE is a company created in 2006 by John Lenart, a Medina County Resident and Highland High School/U of A Alumnus. We serve a previously ignored corner of the construction marketplace; fulfill a need; and we are the best at what we do.
A high percentage of industrial, commercial, and residential properties across the country have fences. (there isn't an agency that keeps an exact percentage statistic) Many of these fences are in need of repair and until now it has been difficult to find a company devoted to restoring them.
When you see the name "FIX-A-FENCE" and view our logo - you know exactly what we are here to do. FIX-A-FENCE professionals specialize in repairing and restoring existing fence. We work with every material on the market and preform small miracles that come with a guarantee. We find solutions to fencing dilemmas.
FIX-A-FENCE professionals not only preform restorations but also install the highest quality new fencing. We install the most durable materials with the LOCK-A-POST Method, a method unique to our company. Our fences are straighter, stronger, and superior to the "competition". We back this strong statement with yearly "fence checkups" and a no questions asked guarantee.
Though we try to only use the most durable material for our new installations, our company is devoted to staying within every customer's unique budget - we sell every material and brand on the market. If you are a contractor that needs to match a specific brand or a consumer with a tight budget- we have exactly what you are looking for.
We preform Free Estimates in most areas and provide exceptional customer service.
This is currently a small, owner operated, company with large aspirations. I hope to build the FIX-A-FENCE brand and sell franchises across the nation. If you like what you've just read and are interested in investment opportunities please contact us at your earliest convenience.

John Lenart's crew, Mike and Nigul, completed the job very nicely; however, in doing so, damaged 2 fence caps. It is now over 1 1/2 years and the repairs have not been made. John claims to have the parts but is not responding to my husband, BBB or myself. I do not feel he is reputable and would not recommend this company.

Response from Fix-A-Fence
An exact match to the [Member Name Removed]'s caps was sought but not available. Several similar styles and solutions were offered - even replacing all of the caps - but none were accepted. This customer has harassed us to the point that Facebook found it appropriate to block his wife from continuing to try to tarnish our reputation; it's walking the line of libel and our legal team is considering civil litigation. Mr [Member Name Removed] (more than likely Mrs. [Member Name Removed] who's been blocked by other outlets) wrote - "I don't feel he is reputable..." and it's malarkey. Aside from customers who could not get a spot on our schedule or the one's who couldn't get an estimate, we have an absolutely stellar reputation, not just regarding our product, price, and punctuality but the integrity of our core values and character that leads us to take tremendous pride in a project "done right". Until now, I'd chosen not to acknowledge this ridiculous review but enough is enough... get a life Mr. [Member Name Removed], you are the reason that there should be an Angie's List for contractors to avoid customers with poor reputations - you are a menace and have been to more than just myself.

John's crew did a great job of adding to our existing fence. They removed some posts and moved the fence line further out to make our patio area larger. the installed new posts and pickets and also a new gate. They used parts of our existing fence to help keep the cost down. We had a few communication bumps but all in all it turned out well. The crew did not show up on a day they said they would and after contacting John, they were back on the job that same day. We have a gothic picket that was hard to match up but John did a great job of putting the new pickets all on one side of the fence and not mixed in with the old. You can't even tell they are different unless you are really looking for it. We will eventually replace our other gate and will have John's company come and do the work.

Response from Fix-A-Fence
(removed member name), this is such a nice review. Thank you! As the company grows, my position changes. This year I've tried to start making the transition into trusting my men to complete projects without me on site. My perfectionism has made this transition difficult. As (removed member name) confirmed, one of my crews decided to "call off" after delivering material to the site. This is completely unacceptable. Good, knowledgeable, help is surprisingly difficult to find, even now - in this job market! Thanks to (removed member name) and her husband, I was notified quickly. Tardiness is unacceptable, going A.W.A.L. infuriates me - my reputation is on the line. The issue was dealt with swiftly and thoroughly. This specific crew (who did not complete the work) is no longer part of the FIX-A-FENCE team. It is a blemish on an otherwise typical FIX-A-FENCE work week. Thank you for awarding us with your project; I'm sure my daughters would say the same if they could. The fact that you took time out of your day to write a report humbles me and renews my appreciation for Angie's List. Reading this at 11PM on a Friday, with the girls asleep and as I burn the midnight oil, is the best ending to a work week that I could possibly hope for. You're the best!

He was a few bucks more then the other guys but he took the time to explain his process and how he does things, to the point that I can fix some stuff on my own now that he told me how to do it, thereby saving me in the future!!!!

An estimate was scheduled for AM Aug. ST and we dropped the ball. The customer should have been called; no excuse. The customer DID however present herself as a "referral from the owner's-ex-wife's-sister" and not as an "Angie's List Consumer". Though we make an effort to treat everyone with the same amount of respect and integrity, Angie's List customers undoubtedly receive our utmost attention and customer care. Had this customer, member, presented herself as a potential customer whom was referred to FIX-A-FENCE by: Angie's List, Google, Fixafenceonline.com, or anyone other than the "owner's-estranged wife's-sister" her probability of receiving an estimate would have skyrocketed. That being said, we are ashamed of the poor report and "F" rating. It does not reflect the superb customer service that FIX-A-FENCE patrons have come to know - and love. We would like to apologize specifically to the member and though we may not be interested in completing this individual fence project, we are more than happy to refer you to another local and accredited company.

Didn't get estimate
Description of Work: Called and left a phone mail. I was looking to either fix or replace a fence. Two days later they called back and appoligized for taking two days to get back to me. He said he didn't normally come out to Wickliffe since they had been so busy this summer but they had a job near by the next week and would have someone come by and give me a quote. He said they would call me the day before they came. Never got a phone call and never got an estimate.

Several phone calls were exchanged. The customer understood that we only Restore and Install select fences in her vicinity (normally only those referred to us by Angie's List or past customers). We did have a commercial project scheduled within 25mi. of the member's home, however, the project was restructured and the fence now scheduled to be installed in November. From May-Sept. it is not in the best interests of this company to use our limited time, resources, and manpower to travel great distances for "potential" customers. We complete many projects all over Ohio, PA, and MI but it is impossible to provide a "FREE ESTIMATE" when the cost to complete it exceeds $100.00. Our standard procedure to combat this dilemma is to complete the estimate via e-mail. It requires that the potential customer have either a digital camera and e-mail or a phone capable of transmitting images. It is with this standard operating procedure that we are able to successfully provide our customers with Free and Instant Feedback. Free, individual and in-person consultations - while desirable - are not always achievable.

The whole job went great. John from FIX-A-FENCE came over and gave me an estimate within 24 hours of my job. He gave me a fairly high price, but I felt more comfortable with the knowledge he demonstrated to me about building a fence and the Lock-a-Post method. He explained it to me in a way that made sense. He even gave a list of questions to ask another fence company while they were doing their estimate. Needless to say the other fence company was not prepared for this and stumbled on a few questions. I decided to go with Fix-A-Fence after that. He started work early and John was a very nice young man who was nothing but courteous and helpful; he even helped me move some unrelated items in my yard for me. He did the job in about two days with one other worker. The first day they tore down the fence, removed the posts, and made the new holes for them. On the second day, they put up the posts and the new fence. It went smoothly and they didn't even tear up my yard!! I have nothing but good things to say about this company and will use them for any future fencing needs.

They were very personable and detail oriented. I felt very comfortable with his approach, he had some unique solutions to my particular needs. They could come up with their own way of making sure posts don't sag. I was real impressed, I just haven't made a decision on what I am going to do with the gate. I was very, very impressed with the owner, the estimate and explanations he gave me. It was very good.

Exceptional product and service delivered as promised!... John (Owner), extremely knowledgeable in the arena of fence installation. John's willingness and ability to address all questions and concerns, while providing his professional recommendation, provided a comfort level that I had not experienced with any other company representative. Immediately following approval of the job quote, an installation and completion date were communicated along with one final review of the proposed fence installation. John's team was professional, courteous, maintaining a clean and organized worksite throughout the entire process. The job was completed on time, with the end product exceeded my expectation. The fence looked phenomenal. I would highly recommend that Fix-A-Fence is considered for any fencing need.... Best Chris M.

My husband and I recently moved into a fairly prestigious area. We wanted a fence for ease of mind when our children and dogs play in the yard. Our budget for the fence was $5000.00. We set out by calling seven different local Fence Contractors, FIX-A-FENCE was the first to respond to our request for an estimate, and the third company to come to our home. John's (the owner) age threw us at first, he can't be thirty, he was much younger than the other men whom we'd already seen. However, he was the BEST at explaining exactly what and how things needed to be done. He was suprisingly professional and quite easy to talk to in comparison to the "salesmen" from the other companies. When the estimates for what we wanted came back at double our budget, (P.S. only 5 of 7 companies contacted returned our calls. Of those only 4 of 5 ACTUALLY SHOWED UP!) John was full of ideas to help us find our solution. In turn, he was able to develop a plan that we LOVE and was $250.00 UNDER our budget. We were extatic, but it didn't end there. The FIX-A-FENCE installers were a pleasure to have on our property. They worked so efficiently that the fence was up in half the time that I expected. Not only that, but they took time to stop and answer my silly questions AND catered to EXACTLY my husband's "vision" for the finished product. Not to mention they were histarical gentlemen, both were older than John, whom stopped in to check progress daily. Now that our fence is in, bills are paid, and we have had a week to reflect; I have to say that we could not be any Happier! John and the rest of his FIX-A-FENCE crew made this expierence fantastic. My husband and I agree that they were the best Contractors we have EVER used PERIOD. We plan on recommending them to all of our friends and family. KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW, WE WOULD HAVE SPENT EXTRA TO USE THESE GUYS.
