Description of Work: Summit Fence installed a custom style fence at a Galveston property. Initially, the representative I met with took all my information and over time, we agreed on fencing particulars, price etc. There was a lot involved since this was not a cookie cutter fencing project. Unfortunately, when it came time for the fence to be installed, there were a lot of questions due to the fact my representative had left the company. Arthur Flores took over and made sure that everything that I had requested was taken care of. There were some issues with permitting, but that was worked out as well. Over all they did a great job and the fence is beautiful with no issues since it's installation in 2014. I would recommend them in the future.

Description of Work: The customer services person was very responsive to my inquiry, but the quoted prices were way to expensive. They wanted $200+ just to come to my house and give me an estimate.

Response from Summit Fence South
I'm sorry that this inquiring individual was upset with us, however, what she requested was for a repair and as our front page is supposed to show, we do not have a repair department. We do charge $235 to go do a repair that doesn't include any additional parts but would cover any adjustments, or reattaching boards. We also are very willing to refer individuals to other companies that are set up to handle repairs. Again, I'm sorry that she was unhappy with the end results. We hope she was able to get her repair done quickly. Linda Scott President

Description of Work: We had them install an automatic driveway gate. Our salesman was very helpful and professional. Installation went as expected and we are very happy with the operation of our gate. It looks great! Very good quality. We would recommend work with Summit Fence South.

Description of Work: We contacted Summit Fence South through Angie's List and they were initially very professional and responsive. Our job had two components replacement of part of our fence and repair to another. The sales person came out gave an estimate rather quickly. However, once we had paid the deposit (1/2 of the overall cost) we had trouble with this company scheduling the actual work. The salesperson/contact person would neither return my phone calls or email. It was only after I sent a message through Angie's List and threatened to take my business else where and request a refund did they get back with me. And the work was scheduled three days later. (This was in January of 2015.) Overall the replacement fence was very good and we were happy with the work. But the repairs to another part of our fence were incomplete. I'd actually paid for 10 pickets within the 8 foot fence to be replaced and none were. Additionally, the work site was left a mess and I had to do the cleanup myself. This was completed in mid-January. Once again I could not get the salesperson to contact me to schedule a time to complete the work. I finally did get this scheduled in late February, but they had to cancel due to the rain. It took several more weeks to get them to contact me again. And once again this only happened after I used the messaging system here in Angie's List. Finally two months after beginning the project it was complete. Overall I am happy with the work. However, their lack of professionalism and responsiveness was some of the worst that I have seen.

Response from Summit Fence South
We are sorry that the customer was unhappy with our timeline of installation. We have had an unusually wet first quarter and it has delayed all our work. This customer did not email and request a refund as we would have done so immediately. However due to so many delayed jobs communications have been less than stellar. For that we sincerely apologize. I will contact the customer on Monday to discuss the pickets he wants replaced. We strive for perfection and sometimes fail but our positve reviews have continued to out weight the poor ones. This constructive feedback is the only way we can approve our performance. Linda Scott

It took 3 phone calls to get rep. out for an estimate. When I contacted rep to sign contact and authorize the work, he promised to review his estimate (Friday) and call the following Monday. Monday came and went with no phone call from rep. My conclusion: the company has more work than they can handle. I decided to look elsewhere.
Description of Work: Estimate only. Wanted this company to perform the work as they had superior Angie List and BBB reports, but rep. had a problem with returning phone calls and making promised contact, so I decided to get more estimates/do further research.

Earlier I wanted to do the work myself but after seeing these professionals do their job in such an artful manner, I am convinced I made the right decision in hiring them. Armando, their manager, came to our house, explained everything patiently without any pressure to hire them. Their prices are not cheap compared to a home-job, if you hire cheap labor at a home improvement store. But the quality of material and work done is EXCELLENT and I believe worth the price. We paid by check, half before and half after the work was done (cheaper to pay cash or check). The two Hispanic gentlemen who came were a little late, but boy were they efficient. Didn't know much English, but we managed to communicate somehow. I had a good supply of water for them (that is all they requested, and a couple of bathroom breaks). They knew what they were doing, kept on the job and were finished in about 4-5 hours. Worked around a tree stump, which was difficult because it is on the fence and they had to carve out special pieces of wood to get the job done. Tough, hard-working, polite gentlemen. Cleaned up everything after they were done. Lots of work done - slightly expensive, but very quality work. Highly recommended - try to talk to Armando first. We will definitely hire them again. They didn't expect a tip, I but gave them $10 each for a couple of very well-deserved beers :-) Thanks Angie's List - I found them through your recommendations.
Description of Work: Put up a 6'6" cedar fence - about 40 feet. Took out the old fence, and worked around a tree stump on the fence.

The guy's arrived late but they stayed until the job was finished. They removed the old fence in sections and just laid it down. They installed the new fence and cleaned up the area very well and stacked the sections on there truck for removal. They then asked for me to inspect the fence. The only problem that I could find actually existed before and was a low spot where the fence didn't touch the ground completely. They had some dirt on the truck and spread some dirt in the low spots. No problems were encountered during the installation and I would say they did an excellent job.
Description of Work: I had a six foot cedar fence replaced. I live in Cinco Ranch in Katy and the HOA requires the replacement fence has to be exactly like the fence that it's replacing. They are also building a wrought iron fence to be installed at a later date for the breezeway.

Overall, I was exceptionally pleased with the work of Summit Fence South. If you want a quality installation as a competitive price, Summit Fence South should be contacted.
Description of Work: I recently had Summit Fence South replace approximately 180 linear feet of 6 foot tall cedar privacy fence. Mr. Michael Espinosa was the Summit Fence representative that provided the price estimate and construction follow up. I obtained three price quotes for the project. Because all three price quotes were essentially the same, I was able to select the vendor that overall, presented the best offer. Summit Fence South was the most professional with the estimate. A written proposal was presented along with written literature of their construction and installation protocol. Summit retains their own installation crew along with liability insurance. The crew arrived on time and completed the entire job in two days, as originally promised. The fence installation exceeded all of my expectations. Installation was carefully done and the property cleaned as they worked.

There was a communication breakdown and they showed up earlier than expected, but they did an excellent job. The materials used were high quality, the workmanship was excellent, and the cleanup job was outstanding. Armando was very pleasant to work with and all the craftsmen on the job worked diligently and acted in a professional manner. Since my yard was not perfectly even, they filled in with a little dirt to prevent my dogs from finding possible escape holes. I have already recommended them to a friend.
Description of Work: Summit replaced my wood privacy fence and a gate on two sides of my back yard. The fence was a six foot picket fence with the twelve inch rot board on the bottom. Cedar was used for the pickets and pine for the rot board. There were three cross beams. The gate is supported by a metal frame. The job included tearing down and disposing of my old fence.

Stephanie in the office is incredibly helpful and professional. My contact, Phillip, was not very responsive. He failed to return calls or meet deadlines. The written estimate was a day late. I was verbally told (by Phillip) that it would take about 3 days to get us scheduled once we agreed to the estimate. I paid my 50% down payment the morning I received the estimate, but did not get a call back from Phillip for 3 days, then he said it could take a week to get scheduled. I got very angry and was promised a visit in the next day or so. They arrived about 3 days later (after several calls). The finished product is not impressive. There was some rain, which could have delayed them, but more communication would have been appreciated.
Description of Work: Summit installed a new gate opener (Elite) for our Wrought Iron fence. The installers showed up late, then they had left their drill at the previous appointment and had to return to get it--which took an hour (or more). The gate operator works, but there are wires hanging which were not put in a conduit. I have been on vacation since the day after they installed it, so I'm hoping that if I complain they will do something to make the wires less precarious and affix the antenna with more than plastic ties.

Philip met with us and talked with us at length about different styles of fences and the pros and cons of each. He gave us detailed estimates of several styles which was a help to us as we weighed our options. Philip was very knowledgeable about the process, and also worked with our neighbor. The work was completed on time according to the specifications outlined on the estimate. The workers were very careful around existing landscaping and irrigation pipes. They were considerate of our schedules and provided us with a beautiful new fence that left us wondering why we didn't do it sooner. We would definitely hire them again and recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: Summit Fence South constructed a double sided privacy fence between our property and that of our neighbor. They dismantled and removed existing iron fencing, and repaired an iron gate.

I talked to Phillip on a Monday afternoon about coming to give me an estimate on a repair/replace of a board privacy fence that had been damaged the week before during some bad weather. He told me he could be there that afternoon because he would be in the area anyway. He showed up on time and gave me an estimate to repair the damaged part as well as an estimate to replace the entire fence. He also gave me an estimate on replacing a gate at the front of the yard. He left his card as well as a written estimate and told me to get back to him when I decided what to do. I called the office and talked to Stephanie the next day and told her we had decided on the full replacement as well as the new gate. She gave the information to Phillip who then scheduled the job for the following Friday. He called on Thursday to confirm that the crew would be there on Friday between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. They were there by 10:30 a.m. They did the work and now I have a beautiful new fence!
Description of Work: A crew came in on Friday morning approximately 10:30 a.m. and replaced approximately 60 feet of board fence. They then installed a new gate on another section of fence to the front of the house. The job was completed and totally cleaned up by 5:00 p.m.

Armando came to give us an estimate. He is very experienced in this field of work. We accepted his offer and work began about 3 days later. Posts were set deep in concrete and a few days were allowed to pass to let concrete cure. The gates were then hung in a single day. The operator was installed a few days later by a very efficient crew. A few days later our operator failed during a lightning storm. It was replaced at no charge a couple of days later. We are very proud of the appearance of the Gates. It is so nice to be able to let our dogs run inside the gates. We will call Summit South for any future fencing needs.
Description of Work: Installed a pair of decorative wrought iron gates across my 20 foot driveway. One of the gates has a remote controlled operator. A people gate was installed on the side of the drive.

This fencing was very good quality cedar fencing. They use extra cross boards for stability; three boards across. They installed a big "rot board" at the bottom. This fence looks like it will remain stable for years to come. They were prompt in coming out and put all this up in one day's time. This is a very large yard so it is a big fence. They returned the next morning and added a detail but were gone before I hardly realized they did anything. Everything was left neat and orderly.
Description of Work: They installed six foot tall board fencing including two gates with one being a large double gate.
