Alligator Fence & Repair

I used Alligator Fence for fencing on one of the rental units I own. It went fine. They were very prompt, it took them less than a week to do it. What stood out the most about them is probably the price. The guy was at least a couple of grand cheaper than the other closest estimates that we had. He wasn't exactly professional but he wasn't unprofessional, he was just casual and easy to deal with. He wasn't rude or anything like that. He just was very casual and easy to deal with.

They began the work in May of 2014. I purchased all of the materials for this project, and was only paying this company for the labor involved with the installation of this fence. I had to put a hold on this project due to some personal issues, and we did not resume this project until September. Around the end of September, I began painting the poles. I realized while painting, that many of the poles were loose. I measured the depth of the holes at this time, and discovered that they were not the proper depth. I called the company out to rectify this situation, and they re-set about 65 of the 75 poles. I noted at this time that the proper amount of cement was not used either. At this point, I called the company and told them not to return. I will not sit and supervise a company who is supposed to know what they are supposed to be doing. I do not believe this person had the skill to handle this large of the job.

One of our fence posts broke during a high windy day. Based on my past experience, I called one of the fence repair service but found out that they are out of business. I was hesitant to call up other fence repair companies again because based on my past experience most of them are highly unprofessional. They either do not return calls or will give an astronomical quote. But the job needed to get done and I had no option. One of the popular repair company in my neighborhood received an F rating from me due to their unprofessional behavior. So I skipped them and called Wes at Alligator Fence & Repair. What a guy! During our call I explained the work that needed to be done - one post replacement and gate repair. He quoted a very reasonable price of just $90 with a metal post (my previous repair guy charged $125 for wooden post). Gate repair was estimated at $125. He said he would come out and give an estimate. Repair work would be done later based on our schedule. He arrived on the scheduled date to give an estimate. My wife asked to check other posts and we found two more posts that needed to be replaced. Wes did not try to upcharge or upsell anything we didn't need. He was courteous and honest and provided an accurate quote for the work. He emailed me the quote and even offered a discount (Angies List members 5%) on his already reasonable prices. My neighbor wanted to get some other work done on his fence. Wes even offered him the same discount. We exchanged few messages and calls and were able to work out a day for the work. He showed up in freezing cold on-time. We were worried how he would be able to work through the frigid temperature. Of course, we were wrong. Not only did he finish everything on time, he did a fantastic job on the repairs as well. We were lucky that we found Wes and Alligator Fence & Repair. The only sad thing about the whole experience is I didn't find him sooner. Wes does a great job, at reasonable prices with excellent communication throughout. I highly recommend Alligator Fence & Repair and Wes for all fence work. Updated: Classified the discount as Angies List 5% discount. Thank you Wes for everything.

I called Wes on 10/20/2014 to schedule an estimate. I described the repair issues and Wes gave me an estimate of $180 and he offered to come to my home the next day. He came on 10/21 as planned and replaced two posts. It took about 3 hours and it cost $180 as quoted. The work performed met my expectations and Wes was professional and polite.

Wes did an outstanding job. I hired him to replace a wooden fence post but when he came to my house and saw what I needed done he recommended that I install a metal pole instead because it lasts longer. I took his advice and had him install the metal pole for the same price he quoted me. I will be using Wes for the rest of my poles in the very near future.

He is only one guy. He is the only one answering the phone. He is the only one doing the job to so it going to be taking longer to do the job. He takes his time and explained everything to me.

We contacted Alligator Fence for a quote on a fence. His schedule is pretty full and he wouldn't be able to meet our time constraint. However, he was extremely nice and professional. He was apologetic that he couldn't help us in the time frame we needed. He was so helpful in discussing what we were looking for, what we needed and questions to ask our other bidders. I even shared another quote price and he was helpful in letting me know if their rate seemed fair. I will definitely recommend him to others that ask if I know of a fence company. Thanks for your help!!

Still need his overall work up. Will update review soon.

Wes was always on time and professional His pricing was very fair. He explained options and did some great problem-solving to install a workable gate on my slanted property. He is very knowledgeable about every aspect of fencing and knows/takes the time to do things the best way. Kudos!

Wes called and I told him what I wanted done. He called back with an estimate that I agreed was fair. He scheduled to come out but because of weather was unable to come until the next week which worked out fine for me as I was not able to be home the week we had originally scheduled. He came out and did exactly as I wanted. He was great to work with. I would definitely hire him again.

Wes is a very professional and hardworking one-man-show! He pulled up all three damaged posts, repositioned our fence panel and then added concrete and set the metal poles. He came back several days later to clean up the leftover concrete and to make sure the poles had set correctly as well as to even out the tops of the poles and cap them off. Wes was in consistent contact with me as to when he would be at our house and what exactly what he was going to be doing. His price was very reasonable. I appreciate his hard work and effort! I will be using him again for further fence repairs. I would also recommend him to anyone that is looking for a fence repairman in the area! Thanks, Wes!

I've known Wes for over 13yrs. and he has always helped myself and my recently deceased husband with various repairs here at our place in Argyle across the last decade. Even though he is a fence contractor and we've utilized his expertise in this area many times; it's his overall ability to help us determine the best and most cost effective way to handle our repairs that keeps us calling on him over and over. I've always enjoyed talking to him as he worked and he always takes time to listen to what I have to say, even if it doesn't relate to the job he is doing. No contractor is perfect, but in my mind, what separates Wes from so many others is his integrity. Even when things in a project aren't going perfectly he communicates it very well and has always bent over backward to come up with a solution. It is also nice that he does all the work himself, not leaving it in the hands of others while he is off doing something else. When he finishes a job his cleanup is top notch. He doesn't smoke so there are never any cigarette butts, or cans, or water bottles or wrappers laying about. The project area is always as good or better than when he started, every time. I recommend him highly.

Wes was very responsive and prompt with all the work that needed to be done. He made an appointment to come out and see what work needed to done and what supplies would be needed. He then returned the next day to complete the work and did a great job. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of fence service! His prices were reasonable and his personality was such that I didn't get any other estimates because I felt so comfortable. Even though I had a small job he made it a priority to handle everything like it was his biggest job of the week. WELL DONE WES!!!

EXCELLENT job - really looks nice. Mr. Brownlee is very easy to work with and to communicate with. Also, his price was very reasonable. I will gladly use his services in the future. I highly recommend him.....

Wes was very professional and easy to work with from start to finish. He helped with the selection of the fencing materials and gate opener and was willing to work with whatever we ultimately purchased. He had a solution for each possibility presented to him. I would definitely recommend Wes of Alligator Fence & Repair. He made the whole process easy and his rates for installation were very reasonable. Wes is very detail oriented and the finished work is excellent. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything looks good and is functioning properly before calling the work complete. If you need fencing work done, call Wes at Alligator Fence & Repair.

A large truck destroyed most of my anchor fence posts and the fence posts of my neighbors as well as knocking out (or destroying) several T-Posts and the barb wire was several decades old so it was not really usable to be stretched. Wes Brownlee provided an excellent quality service and materials for a very reasonable price. His estimate was detailed and itemized and he did everything he said he would do. Many neighbors stopped by to compliment his work and my fence now looks outstanding! You can't get much better value from any other fence contractor around. Plus, you will have far less phone tag with him than other contractors.
