Capitol Fence was founded by Jim Bassard in 1957, and was ran as a family business until August of 1980 when it was bought by Robert Hulvey, and is still run as a family business. Capitol Fence is now the oldest family-owned fence company in the Columbus area including Franklin and Fairfield Counties. With our recent move to Canal Winchester we want to give the home owners and businesses of Fairfield County the same high level of service that our repeat customers have come to know and trust. Put our almost 50 years of experience to work giving you a quality fence that will give your loved ones and pets a safe secure yard for years to come.
Description of Work: This Fence Company is terrible. I had to call the owner several times to come back to re-do the work because the fence was put up so poorly. So many crooked areas, uneven areas, overall poor workmanship. The workers were lazy. The owner had poor customer service skills. He just wanted to get paid regardless of how the job was done. They acted like it was a burden to come back and fix the fence that I was paying for..... Terrible experience. Now a couple months later a section of the fence is leaning in and I am sure will fall over in the next few months. I would never recommend this company or use it again. Not worth the money spent and just so disappointing.

Description of Work: I asked them to run a new fence connecting to neighbor fences on either side and install a total of 3 gates. |Bob worked with me on the design and accommodated a couple of last minute changes. Had to wait a month or so for them to start the job, but I guess fall is their busiest time. The only thing I was not prepared for was a weekends worth of work at cleaning up all the dirt around the post hole diggings. He said it would just "wash away" but if you care about your grass, you have to do this. We are please with the quality look of the job as it is noticeably straighter more professional looking then other nearby fences. Would recommend without hesitation.

COMPANY INSTALLED WOOD PRIVACY FENCE. LACK OF COMMUNICATION LED TO CURVE ON TOP OF GATE NOT GETTING DONE RIGHT. WORKERS STARTED TO LEAVE WHEN IT WAS THEN MENTIONED TO THEM. HEAD GUY DIDN''T WANT TO DO IT, BUT FINALLY CUT THE CURVE *FREEHAND* W/ A SAW. IT CAME OUT LOPSIDED. WITHIN 1 WEEK THE GATE WAS WARPED. LEFT MESSAGE AFTER MESSAGE ON COMPANY ANSWERING MACHINE. OWNER CALLED ME BACK ONCE, BUT THEN WE STARTED THE UNANSWERED MESSAGE GAME AGAIN. FED UP, I RESORTED TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. COMPANY DENIED THAT GATE PROBLEM WAS OF THEIR DOING, EVEN THOUGH THEY INSTALLED IT, BUT AGREED TO FIX IT ANYWAY. WHEN SOMEONE FINALLY SHOWED UP TO REPAIR THE GATE, THEY LEFT A PILE OF NAILS
