Very well, very satisfied.

Brad was easy to get hold of and came out to give me an estimate right away. It took approximately 2 months to get started on the job and then took about a week to complete. The old fencing was removed, new fencing put up and looks great! I am very pleased with the end result and will use Huckleberry again for future fencing work.

We and our neighbors split costs and are very happy with the work done and the new look. The crew was pleasant to deal with and worked quickly and efficiently. The crew was careful around all our plantings and cleaned up after themselves.

Excellent. They were very fast and precise. They did everything they said they would do and I am very happy with the results. The owner/contractor was very professional, friendly and thorough. Brad the owner/contractor came to our house and discussed the entire project and all the possible options and pricing. He sent a clearly printed itemized bid that included a photo of the style we chose. They set the start date, showed up on time and worked until it was done. They also helped with a tiny small project that was not part of the fence project ( I do not suggest asking any workers for help with extra projects because it's not their responsibility if it's not in the bid, but I took a chance and they were very friendly and helpful.) If you want a long lasting magnificent looking fence, hire Huckleberry.

Brad was one of four contractors I asked to bid on a cedar backyard fence. He responded promptly, arrived at the scheduled time and provided good information. I primarily chose not to use Huckleberry because his price was approximately 50% higher per foot of fence vs. the other three competitors, though there was an additional factor I'll describe. I understand Brad takes a high level of pride in his work and that quality comes at a price. Were I doing street-side fencing, I would consider him, but the fence I needed was on a back lot with limited exposure to both myself and others. I marked Brad down to a B for price because his cost was so much higher. I also marked him down in Professionalism. While his comments pertinent to the work were professional, shortly after he arrived he made some quite angry and accusatory statements about one of his competitors. This was unsolicited and emotional, something that soured me on the experience. If he feels a competitor should be warned against, that is his decision, but I think he should present his position in a calmer, less caustic manner and refrain from name-calling. Interestingly, when the competitor in question came to bid, I told him about Brad's comments and the competitor brushed it off and said that he'd heard similar elsewhere, the claims were inaccurate, and was happy to provide references for his work. Brad claimed several violations by his competitor including something he was going to turn in. When I looked at the CCB information, there was a single violation being settled, but nothing as severe as Brad claimed (ie. I understood would cause a loss/suspension of license). Now, over 3 months later, there still isn't anything new, leading me to believe the claim Brad made was not correct. This unfortunate bit of competitive sniping soured my experience with a person whom I'm sure is a highly skilled and professional contractor.

We've had fences and gates built by Huckleberry and we've been very happy. This latest fence project along our western property line is AWESOME! That same great quality we've come to expect from Huckleberry. The whole process has been great.

We got a bid. We scheduled the job and the job was done promptly. We're very pleased.

The experience from beginning to end was excellent. Brad came promptly the day I first called. He gave me an estimate which I considered fair. Work began 2 days later. The old fence was removed and all debris taken away. New posts were set the next day, and three days later the new fence was completed, with a beautiful new gate entering the yard. The crew was courteous and mindful of plants and trees in the yard. They asked me questions about my wishes. They left my yard in great shape, considering the wet conditions they were working in. The fence is a definite improvement to the entire neighborhood. I would unconditionally recommend Huckelberry for any fencing needs.

They were very good. They were really superb. The way they put in the post was just excellent. They dug a hole, put concrete in and put the pole in. They rounded the concrete so any water would not collect around the post and just ran off because it was rounded. I was very impressed with that. They took the time to do that. In terms of price, I felt it was comfortable. We had a unique fence, which was made out of bamboo. I did not know how the price of bamboo fence compares because I could not fine anybody locally who did bamboo fences to be able to compare. They were very responsive and quick. I would definitely use their services again in the future.

They ended up not giving me the quote because I found someone else to do the work. My contact with them was over the phone; they did not come out to the house. They were prompt and professional. I would consider contacting them again in the future for a quote.

We were so impressed with Huckelberry fence we didn't entertain any other bids. Brad the owner came out to do an estimate and gave some helpful advice based on the home going up for sale. The work was scheduled a few weeks later and was started on the date promised and in spite of a crew member calling sick the work was completed on the date promised. The materials and workmanship are first rate and were very pleased with the results. We would recommend Huckleberry Fence and would hire them if needed in the future.

Totally great experience. We were very pleased. If you want a beautiful fence --talk to these guys. Thanks, Huckleberry!

He provided a written and detailed estimate, which I appreciate because some folks only give the SWAG estimate, and it can be confusing at best. The team came to review the work and confirm the estimate and started the job on time. The new fence looks far better than the old one ever did and I'm quite happy with the work.

The porch and steps the original contractor built were not the highest quality in terms of materials and workmanship. I was looking for a replacement option that was both attractive (since it is the first one sees of my house) and low maintenance. I contacted Huckleberry initially to give me some thoughts on various repair or replacement options. Based on those conversations, and on the bids supplied, I made a decision to replace the entire porch and steps with Ipe decking and metal balusters. Huckleberry was very responsive during this process, and I especially appreciated the advice that Brad had to offer with regard to various options I might want to consider and what would look good on my house. Huckleberry falls into the "artisan" category of decking and fencing contractors, and I appreciated their eye toward detail and aesthetics. OVERALL: Huckleberry does very high quality work, and every detail was paid attention to in terms of worksmanship. They were responsive to questions both via phone and email. They cleaned up the project site in a very professional manner. I am very happy with the end product. My recommendation for improvement is in the area of overall project management, scheduling, and timeline for project completion: what was expected to be a 2-3 week project stretched out to 6 weeks. Huckleberry's billing methodology is for a 10% deposit on acceptance of a bid (this is to get your project onto their job board), 50% of remainder at project initiation, and the remaining 50% at project completion. Under this methodology (which I consider reasonable for a small contractor), you are saying with your 10% deposit that you are serious about doing this project and one would expect that being placed on the job board means that all relevant scheduling is being coordinated. In my case, the subcontractor who was fabricating the metal balusters did not complete their work in a timely manner, and my porch sat semi-completed for over 3 weeks. While Brad did respond to my email inquiries about this, I would have expected more proactive communication that the work was delayed and why - I did not hear anything until I inquired about it. The work of the subcontractor is still Huckleberry's responsibility. Again, overall I would recommend Huckleberry, and I find their worksmanship to be exceptional. I would, however, recommend that Huckleberry commit to a timeline for completing your project and proactively communicate if that timeline is delayed for some reason. For the most part, such delays should be for circumstances beyond their control.

Bradley Cook was charming and easy to work with. His fence crew, Derrick and Sela, built us an incredible fence. Also, their gate guy Shane built us a fabulous gate. The material was a high quality cedar and the workmanship was flawless. The crew was efficient and hard working and a joy to deal with. We couldn't be more pleased with the fence and gate. We are definitely planning to use Huckleberry Fence and Deck CO again.

We got a cable railing that was supplied to them through another company. So they installed the cable railing. They basically do wooden structures, but in this case it was a cable railing. They used penetrating oil on it which would be repeated after 6 months. We decided to do the elevated front porch and they are going to install the cable railing too. They should be here and done in the next month or two. The work went on well and they are excellent. The owner has very high quality stuff. He has some good suggestions and ideas. There was a slight delay because one or two of his workmen were sick. So he didn’t have enough people to come to our house and he let us know about that. Everything was really well done. It was expensive, but was worth it.

Bradley, the owner, had a portfolio of fences he had done. He is really cool. At one point we were short 200 dollars and he let us pay later. He worked really well with us and did a really good job.

The project went smoothly, quickly, and professionally. I'm very happy with the end product and comfortable with the company's commitment to their work and reputation. We had no major issues along the way, but I feel comfortable knowing that if any problems should arise in the future with this deck, that Huckleberry will stand by their work.

The company is very knowledgeable but not pushy in their sales approach. They encouraged me to seal the fencing to lengthen the life of the fence. I chose the company because they were timely for their start time and more reasonable in price.
