MIke's work is fantastic. I especially like the wrought iron gates he incorporates into his wood fences. If you want a fence that looks like it was built by a craftsman, give Mike a call. Very impressive.

It went better than I expected. The finished job was much more handsome than I had guessed. Mike was courteous, prompt and fully professional. It was not a really big job, but Mike treated me like a valued customer. Good job!

The owner, Mike, was prompt in each meeting & with all communications. The job started & ended on the days & times which Mike promised, including hauling away my 20-year-old fence. His bid was very competitive, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result.
Description of Work: Needed 63 linear ft of fence replaced, including 2 gates. This company installed a fence for my across-the-street neighbor, & it's beautiful. She said her daughter is a realtor & highly recommended N Tx Future Fence. Several houses on neighboring streets have also used the company, with strong results. I wanted a board on board 6-ft fence with 2 gates.

Our initial meeting with Mike Kaplan, owner, was fantastic. He understood what we wanted and showed us images of other fences in the area. We also did some driving around to look at N. TX Future Fences to see how well they stand up to time and the elements. We found out we have a neighbor whose Future Fence has been there for 20 years + and still stands upright and looks great! We also liked the little design touches that these fences seemed to have (like the finished top edge, beautiful molding and strongly built gates). Working with Mike's building and wood-working team was great. They worked very well together, kept the work area clean and neat and safe. They asked questions and gave input when needed and were in and out in 5 days as promised. Mike came by each afternoon to check on the progress and did a walk around with me (the homeowner). The fence will now settle and dry a bit and then the dark brown stain will go on in a few weeks. We truly love our fortress of a fence!

We wanted to extend the concrete slab area that was poured by the builder. It was small and out of proportion with the house. Mike listened to what we wanted and helped us come up with a footprint for the patio. The first step was to pour the concrete and build the arbor. When that was complete, we showed pictures of the flagstone colors we wanted to use as well as the basic pattern we wanted them to follow when laying the stones. As the crew was laying the stones, the level towards the patio door was higher than we had discussed. We addressed this with the crew, and they stopped their work until it could be resolved. They re-worked the area to our satisfaction. It took some calls and more time than we expected for them to clean up and haul everything off after the job was completed. Although we had just communicated that we would pay the balance on the job once all of the lumber and left over materials had been removed, Mike stopped by anyway asking for payment before the job was complete. We found that to be somewhat irritating. Other than a few issues, we are happy with the end result. The patio is well-made, looks very nice, and has been a happily usable outdoor extension to our living space.

My experience with NTFC was about the same as the review dated July 15th, 2013: The fence looks good at the end but the communication with Mike was terrible though I really appreciated that he honored his warranty. Thanks mostly go to his crew who worked hard to fix it up. I was lucky enough that the fence leaned before the 10-year warranty expires or else it'd have cost me a fortune to fix - the fence was rebuilt rather since it took more than twice amount of work.
Description of Work: Fixed up the leaning fence with retaining wall that he built 7+ years ago.

The fence looks good but the communication by the owner was TERRIBLE. Failed to show up as scheduled, pushed the date back, and repeatedly failed to return phone calls. Mon. 6/24 - supposed to start but didn't show and didin't call. I called them and was told they were still waiting on HOA approval and would call me in a couple of days. Wed. 6/26 - I called to get a status update and left a message. Thur 6/27 - they finally called me back and told me they would start Monday 7/1 Sun 6/30 - they called and left me a message saying they couldn't start Monday but would start Thur 7/4. I called back and told them no. I didn't not when them starting work on a holiday. I told them to start the following Monday 7/8. They agreed but asked if they could leave the materials in my driveway and asked "which side of the driveway would be better". I said either side was fine. Mon 7/1 - I got home to find my entire driveway was covered with materials. I could not park in my driveway. I called and left a message explaining the situation and asking for a call back. I didn't not receive a return call that evening. Tue 7/2 - still did not receive a return call. I called again when I got home that afternoon because I still could not park in my driveway. 7/3 - finally got a return call stating they had moved the materials so I could get into my driveway. 7/8 - they began work and finished within a few days. The fence looks good, but I wouldn't use them or recommend them due to the owners terrible communication.

I am extremely happy with my fence. It is beautiful, the fence gets compliments all of the time. My quote included four columns, but I didn't like the way the gate's metal pole looked so Mike covered it with a column. Fantastic idea! I went with cedar post because my HOA doesn't allow posts to face out. Mike said the posts would blend into the fence and be less noticeable. He was right, the posts blend nicely. Trim work and columns make the fence stand out like no other. Small wood box protectors were build around the base of the posts so the weed-wackers won't damage them and so they'd last longer. Mike also suggested that I use Sprinkler Shields to protect the fence from sprinkler over-spray stains. Great suggestion, this little device has saved me money by conserving water and protecting the stain on my stain.

Please see the above comments, it does outline our experience - it went great. We've had many good comments from neighbors as well as other service providers who watched the construction process and have looked at the finished fencing and asked about NTFF.
Description of Work: We had NTFF install a new 8+ foot fence (with the 2 to 3 foot retaining wall they installed the fence is 10 or 11 feet in height at some points) around our yard. This included three (solid, beautiful) gates and fencing both back and side yards. We think both Mike and ALL members of his crew exemplify the best in customer service, creativity and craftsmanship. Mike worked with us and was very patient and accommodating with suggestions as we changed our mind (multiple times) about what we wanted to do. He provided addresses for us to look at fences completed recently by his company as well as a couple that had been build by his company years ago. They all stand out as the best looking fences in their respective neighborhoods. The fence and work is QUALITY, both from a design (functional and decorative) and construction perspective. Mike had the metal posts spaced much closer than other builders to best support the retaining walls and fence. We have a section of fence shared with a neighbor that was very poorly built. The crew replaced boards, trimmed out our side of the fence and stained it to match. We highly recommend Mike and the NTFF crew - It's their attention to details, quality of materials used, professionalism, and commitment to service that we believe set them apart from most others.

I have not yet had the work done. He was great; came in and measured everything, talked to me and explained exactly what he was going to do. He tried to cut costs a little bit but was not able to cut too much due to the cost of the fence itself. I may use him later. His response was very quick and was honest with everything he measured. I will probably call him as soon as I get enough money to replace the fence. He came to my house within an hour after I called him to measure for the quote. His quoted price was about $7,000.00.

This is the second time that I have used Mike and Future Fence Co. He installed an electric gate on my other property a few years back as well. Both jobs were of high quality and you can tell the difference between the builder grade and his work. Mike is very responsive and also creative as he helped us figure out the best configuration for the fence/gate combination in our yard. With two projects behind me, I trust him to a) show up b) do a great job and c) provide any follow up support that is needed. An example of c) is that after he installed the first fence and gate a few years ago we had a lot of ice/snow and the gate got out of alignment. I was out of town so couldn't do it myself but called him and he sent someone over immediately to adjust the gate for me. My only blight would be that he is a bit more expensive than the competition. This last job he was about $1000 more expensive. I told him this and we agreed to split the difference. This was worth it for me since I knew his work and trusted him. I plan to use him again when the rest of my fence needs replacing.

I met the man that bid the job at Academy Sporting Goods, located at Parker and the Dallas North Tollway. He was very personable and seemed to manage the hunting department. I made a purchase and the recent storm came up in discussion. He informed me that as a sideline he built fences and told me where I could see some of his fences in my neighborhood, which I did. The quality of the construction was satisfactory, from my observation. This man's personality and knowledge were my reasons for proceeding with his company. He came out and bid the fence. He made a statement that the price of the fence included the understanding that the company's end product would withstand a high level of critical observation and critique. The actual construction of the fence itself is quite acceptable in that it was plumbed right, constructed to good tolerances and appearance and good quality of materials were implemented. Before beginning the project, I informed him that I expected the residual mess to be completely cleaned up to my satisfaction. He agreed that this was part and parcel of their conduct of business. There was approximately 160 running feet of fence to be built. An extension of the fence required a perforation to be drilled in our concrete driveway. The extruding concrete which was added to the hole was never troweled or dressed properly, even after it was pointed out to the construction foreman on more than one occasion. It is truly an eye sore. Concrete and gravel remained in my neighbor's yard. Nails, used lumber, concrete and other materials were left, never to be collected. I even had a conversation with the foreman who had come to personally correct the deficiencies left by his work crew. While standing by the side of the house I asked him if everything had been left as they found it and he assured me that it was so. I reached down and picked up a 2 foot plus, 1 x 6 inch piece of wood that was laying between his feet and mine and handed it to him. He never said a word but went right on speaking. The fence is built over the majority of the underground sprinkler system on the south side of the back yard. It appears to me you have to go out of your way to accomplish that feat. Before final payment was made I asked for the man who bid the job to come out. He offered to again send out the foreman to make things right. I informed him I did not want that man on the property, period. I finally became so frustrated with their inability to rectify the mess that I gave up. I hired other labor to help me andI have been picking it up myself even after 2 lower back fusions, to this day. If you do not mind finishing their work for them you may choose to use them. My experience is that they will not finish it. I have waited quite some time to compose this and have never been contacted by this company. Would I use or recommend this company again? I will leave that to someone's imagination.

My apologies to Mr. [Member Name Removed]. That person he met at Academy is no longer with our company. He did not represent the quality and reputation of Future Fence. He had every right to be upset. Moving forward, we have learned from that experience and that is why we had only one very unhappy customer in 24 years, Mr [Member Name Removed].

I pretty much went with NTFF because a couple of my neighbors had fences by them, and theirs looked very good. One of the neighbors is my next door neighbor, and I wanted to match their fence as well. I did not get estimates from other fence builders. So the price may not have been the cheapest, but I wanted the look and the quality which I think I got. Matt and Mike were very friendly. Mike is the owner. It was easy to schedule. There was a two week wait, but that was okay with me.The quality of the fence is very good. I paid extra for the metal posts of the fence shared with my neighbor to be covered, and I was particularly impressed by the quality of how they did that. During the final walkthrough, Mike pointed out some quality details of the fence, and I was impressed by the details.The staining still has to occur. I need to call them up about that, but I'll bet they do a good job on that as well.

I've worked with several contractors, builders and moving companies over the past 18 months. This was hands down the most pleasant experience of all of them. The crew was friendly and very neat. When they left my yard was clean and the driveway was spotless.
Description of Work: Future Fence built an 8 ft. fence with an electric gate, two walk through gates, three columns, decorative trim and a 2 ft. retaining wall for me. The electric gate has two remotes and a wireless key pad and one gate has a window with decorative trim. I was familiar Future Fence's work and I sought them out for a quote. The neighborhood that I previously lived in had Future Fences throughout the development. I noticed the fences and took note of the company who built them because they stood out. I chose Future Fence to build my fence because I was familiar with the company, they came highly recommended, the cost was less than the other three quotes I received, and they had extra details the other companies that quoted did not, such as two walk-thru doors, decorative trim, and the columns.On March 2nd I submitted a request for a quote and Mike Kaplan promptly called and scheduled a visit my home. When he arrived he listened carefully, measured, and quickly gave me a quote. The quote was substantially less compared to the other bids I'd received.They began work on my fence Monday April 2nd and finished the wood working the following Monday. The fence they built included a 2 ft. retaining wall on one section of the fence. I didn't care for the 2' drop from the fence to the electric gate. To make me happy Mike built a column to mask the gate's metal black bars and to ease the appearance fence's 2 ft. drop to the electric gate. It worked! I couldn't be happier the fence looks fantastic! They also did one other small but nice detail that I hadn't seen before.... I went with cedar post because my HOA doesn't allow posts to face out. I thought the posts would blend into the fence and be less noticeable. (Mike's suggestion) Mike and his crew built small wood box protectors around the base of the posts so the weed-wackers won't damage them and so they'd last longer.
