Description of Work: Install a fence

Description of Work: Replace wood fence around my house.

Description of Work: I contacted four fence companies to get bids on installing 100 feet of pre-assembled dog ear #2 spruce panels (2 by phone & 2 in person). The two I phoned only build on sight with ceder (no pre-assembled panels). The other two would do either, build on sight or install pre-assembled panels. Texxan's owner, Steve Thomas, was on time for his appointment and made me feel very comfortable when I talked about my needs and concerns. After getting feedback from him on what would be involved in putting the fence up I decided he would get the job. His price was fair and below all of the other bids (all well know fence companies in the area). They started the job while I was at work and by the afternoon of day one the old fence was down and stacked up for them to haul off. He installed a temporary cyclone fence to keep my dog in my yard and other dogs out. He was very careful not to hit any of my sprinkler lines and he added a gate so I could have access to the back of the yard where the fence was being replaced. He worked with his 2 other workers on installing the fence (no sub-contracted crew). The fence went up in 3 days. After it was up, Steve went through each panel and pulled off any picket that was warped, curling or broken and replaced them with new, straight, unbroken pickets. The fence was even, straight and off the ground to avoid wood rot in the future. He and his crew cleaned up completely and made the yard look as if they had never been there. After 1 year only 1 picket of the 100 feet I replaced has curled out and will need to be replaced in the future. I have not damaged the pickets with my weed-eater and the fence still looks great. Steve guarantees his labor on the fence for life (materials are not guaranteed). My neighbor replaced 136 feet of fence with one made on sight of ceder about 1 year before. They used another well known fence company (one of the ones I called). While I had Steve over recently giving me a bid on an ornamental fence project we both noted the condition of the neighbors fence after 2 years. Pickets were splitting, had a lot of knots in them, some pickets were only nailed at the top (swung out from the bottom), several of the stringers had only one bolt holding them to the metal pole bracket and some of the metal poles had already started leaning in and shifting (they pulled the old wooden posts out and reused the holes for the new metal poles without taking out all the old concrete). I highly recommend Texxan Fence & Construction for their punctuality, professionalism and honesty. I'll be letting you know how the other fence project goes very soon. Thank you very much Steve for the great job and I look forward to working with you again in the near future.
