MILL TO YOU FENCES INC

Barry was great! I called to request a quote and he came the next day. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and then he described exactly how Mill-to-You builds their fences. It was the most thorough estimate I had ever gotten from all of the quotes I requested. Most just came out and took rough measurement, then scribbled an estimate on a paper and that was it. Barry took precise measurements, then emailed a detailed quote that again described the installation process and materials, down to the types of nails they use. Once I selected Mill-to-You, Barry put me in contact with his permit guy and and within a couple of days I had a permit emailed to me. Barry's team cleared away some bamboo on part of my lot, and had the entire fence up in about a day and a half. The finished product is beautiful and I've gotten lots of compliments from my neighbors. I'm extremely satisfied and plan to hire Mill-to-You for some follow on work. Highly recommended!

Working with Barry was an absolute nightmare. It started off fine, but by the end of the experience, we realized how careless and disrespectful he is. We hired him to build a new fence in our backyard. He was significantly more expensive than some of the other quotes we received, but he seemed knowledgeable and reassured us that his work was top notch. We specifically requested two gates (front and back) with locks. He agreed and charged us extra. When the work was done, the gates simply didn't work. The internal pieces in the lock mechanism weren't aligned, so the gates wouldn't close or lock. We could manually move the gate into a "closed" position, but a light breeze would swing the door back open. The whole reason for building the fence was to keep our dog from escaping the backyard. Without a gate that actually closed, it was useless. I then spent 10 weeks calling Barry again and again and again, asking him to come out and fix it. "Okay, I'll be there Monday," he' say. By Friday, there would be no sign of him. I can't tell you how many times he no-showed. Eventually, he came out on two different occasions, fiddled with the locks, and told me they were fixed. When I later checked, the gates still didn't close or lock. My biggest mistake was paying him before fully inspecting every inch of the fence. It only took him a day to cash our check, but after 10 weeks of begging him to come out and finish the job, we gave up. Bottom line: he acted like a total *******. We now need to pay someone else to finish his overpriced work.

Outstanding service. The guy was really trustworthy. Down to earth. He's not gonna rip you off. And they give a great product and worksmanship for a fair price.

Estimator arrived on schedule, and later inspected completed work. Crew also arrived on schedule, and continued until job was complete. Overall cost was less then other fence builders considered.

I setup an estimate appointment with Barry and he was on time and gave me a quote on the spot. I engaged him via email probably 10+ times with follow-up questions and he was very responsive and patient with all of my questions. However, when I asked him to commit to a date, he never did. I sent 3 additional follow-ups asking him to commit to a date on 8/30, 9/7 and 9/14... also with no response. This is very disappointing to me because he seemed to be off to such a great start and I really wanted to hire him for the work but it's clear that he doesn't want my job anymore. And now that it's almost October it's probably going to be too difficult to find a new contractor this fall. Especially because I've found so many of the contractors out there to also be flakey.

We have given Barry and his staff at Mill-To-You enough time to rectify the issues that emerged after their installation of our fence in October 2016. They have not done so after promising that they would on multiple occasions via text, phone, and in-person; therefore, we are posting our concerns online. We feel that Mill-To-You should only be considered as a last resort--and even then, one should be careful. Thus far our experience has convinced three of our neighbors to go with other companies. Mill-To-You built our fence in October 2016 and we paid nearly $4800 which from other quotes we got was around the average price for the job. After completion we noted to Barry that the front and back gates were built very poorly. The front gate was, and still is, wobbly and not supported. The back gate doesn't align properly, creating problems when we try to close it. When we told them about the problems, they promised to come out and fix the issues. After many phone calls they came out twice. Each time they came unannounced instead of scheduling a date as we had asked. The problems were never resolved as the issue returned within days each time. Unfortunately, the last time they came out they said they were missing a part to actually complete the work and left, never to be seen again after repeated phone calls. The gate issues persist. During installation, there were other issues as well. For example, we had chosen a photo from the Mill-To-You website of what we wanted the fence to look like; Barry's crew added aesthetic features that were not part of the design we provided. In retrospect we wish we would have pushed for a signed contract. At the time Barry seemed honest enough and we moved forward on a handshake. We would be willing adjust this negative review if Barry and his crew would come out and finally fix the problems - a courtesy phone call before their arrival to agree on the best time to come would be appreciated as well.

Fantastic experience. Barry is very easy to work with and helps with decision making in an economically favorable way. The work crew was on time, efficient and did high quality work, plus everything was neat and tidy when they left.

I called Barry on Jul 3rd to get an estimate. This would be my third estimate. He showed up a few hours later, provided a competitive price and I had a fence by noon the next day, Jul 4th. He also fixed my gate handle and alignment.

Very well. No subcontracting, all work inspected by Mr Potter personally. No payment until the work is done to your satisfaction.

Mill to You Fences provided understandable and good suggestions for replacing old chain link fence with a cedar fence. The new fence is high quality, makes a huge difference in the appearance of the house and back yard. Staff were professional and prompt. We are very happy with the new fence!

Mill-to-you'd workmanship and quality are top notch. It's a small company so it took some persistence to get them to handle my project, but once we got them we couldn't be more pleased with the result. We went from no fence to the nicest fence in the neighborhood.

We had a great time designing our gates with Barry - he was knowledgable and listened to what we wanted. The end results are beautiful and absolutely what we envisioned. We are very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the gates. My only quibble was that communication with Barry was sometimes a bit slow.

I would highly recommend Barry for the quality of material and installation, his amazing customer service, down to earth attitude and professionalism. Thanks for everything Barry!!

The project went well. Barry and his crew finished the job in less than a day. He also installed a few finishing touches at no charge. I enjoyed working with Barry and will without hesitation recommend him.

The work was done and at a reasonable price. But the workers left barbed wire and metal posts lying in the tall grass. Six months later, I noted the cap (newel?) of a fence post had come off and was lying on the ground, leaving a hollow post for who knows what to crawl or rain into. I called the owner three times over the next year and he promised he would be in my area soon to repair it. He never called or showed up.

Work was done on time at a fair price but crew left dangerous materials, including barbed wire, in tall grass not visible to owner for several days after.

Wonderfully. Barry is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and ha a great crew and hands on management of the entire process. We had them come back months later to add a new gate and they rechecked all their previous work, adjusted all the other gates and made some minor upgrades we wanted. A pleasure to do business with from start to finish.

Barry was very easy to work with and his team did a first class job. Would definitely use them again.

Barry of Mill To You was incredibly helpful and friendly --- his first visit coincided with my furnace breaking, and he offered to have a look and spent 20 minutes trying to troubleshoot it. He gave me the lowest bid out of three for the work I needed doing (fencing in the left side and back of my backyard). We met twice to go over the work and for him to make sure he felt confident understanding what it was I wanted. He asked questions and raised issues that the others who gave me bids did not. He was always willing to answer questions (and did so in a prompt manner), and the work was done extremely well. When he learned I was not happy with two minor parts of the project he sent someone the following day to completely re-fix the two sections to my total satisfaction. I have had a lot of work done to my home since I purchased it, and I have met some great (and some not-so-great ) contractors. Barry is definitely among the former group, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new fence.

Mr. Potter is professional and gave us excellent advice for the fence. He is honest and straight forward. His crew finished the job quickly and did an excellent job. The fence is beautiful and is a major improvement of our backyard.

Despite the awful weather Barry and crew showed up even though we encouraged them to wait for better weather and did a superb job. We would not look anywhere else for fencing if we ever need further services. Friendly, open laid-back service. Just great.

Barry did a spectacular job building a new fence at my home. As the fence was designed with stone columns (provided by another) in tandem with cedar panels (provided by Barry at Mill-to-You), Barry had to be on site numerous times to coordinate with the mason. This process was carried out very smoothly and Barry was able to integrate his work into the stone frame effortlessly. No additional cost was incurred and the extra attention to detail produced a beautiful finished product. I will not hesitate to recommend Barry and Mill-to-You in the future.

Barry was very responsive and came out I believe the day after calling to provide an estimate. I could tell he was very experienced and knowledgeable about fences and after walking our 1/2 acre yard was able to give me a quote quickly. He was not the first company I contacted- 1 other on Angie's list gave me a minimum amount over the phone (I believe over $1000) and wouldn't even come over. Another company broke down a long list of items such as supplies, labor, hauling, even nails-- that estimate took over a week and was priced higher by someone who did not seem to have the experience regarding how to make the experience easy and efficient for the customer. The service was performed soon after Barry provided the estimate--they had to move several pickets around so the new ones wouldn't stand out too much and then replaced several broken or loose pickets and posts and also the perimeter of the fence is all level now and looks great. I will definitely call on Barry in the future.

Barry was great to work with initially, and we really wanted him to build our patio fence. After meeting with him and getting an initial quote to fence in our patio, we were confident he would do an excellent job at a great price. While pricing out the rest of the work in our front yard, we did not contact Barry for about two months. Once we were ready to build our fence, we recontacted Barry who at first was responsive and said he would come by to see if anything at changed. After this, it became very difficult to establish contact with Barry and whenever we did, he did not have an estimate prepared even though he promised to provide an estimate time after time. For a period, Barry failed to return our calls and we began to worry about him. After about a month of trying to reestablish contact with Barry, he finally provided a quote but we had lost faith in his ability to focus on our project. Ultimately, we ended up using a different vendor, which is a shame because we were really looking forward to working with Barry based on the price he quoted and some of the work he completed in our neighborhood.

We had a great experience. Beautiful fence, extremely well constructed and finished in one day! We followed his recommendation to install cedar fence over pressure treated because the expense was negligible. Many in the neighborhood are asking for his contact information because they like how it looks - including the contractor for our back porch!
