They were professional and great, from the guys who installed the posts to the guys who did the pickets. Moved mulch, moved it back and cleaned up after themselves. Best of all, the crews were NOT illegal aliens.

They stuck to their schedule, and the quality of their work was really good. They accommodated some changes that we made and were just very good.

We rented tractor and landscaping attachments from Sunbelt, I did the clearing, grading, spreading of 32 cubic yards of mixed topsoil and compost from Mary's Trucking. Coordinated with Minor's to start several weeks after seeding of the yard. Minor's Fencing was the only fence company out of five that quickly returned calls or had a person answer the first time. Two never even returned a phone call. One eventually provided an estimate that was a couple of hundred lower but it was like pulling hen's teeth to get a response or have anyone return a call. Minor's was chosen because of their professionalism and reliability in dealing with them. It was a pleasure. We just knew their work would match how they operated and we were not disappointed. Minor's estimator showed up 15 minutes early for our appointment, was knowledgeable and provided reasonable alternatives to design and construction which we appreciated. No pressure. Miss Utility came and did her thing. We paid the deposit required by Minor's in the contract and coordinated the start time. Our start time was flexible and Minor's provided an estimated start date. We later notified Minor's that the prep work was all done, Then, the first Minor's team showed up a week earlier than estimated and set over 20 fence post in 90 minutes and were gone with the yard cleaned, hose wound and neatly returned to its place. Then several days later the fence crew came after we left for work, installed the fence, cut the convex curves on top and were gone before we got home. The yard was hardly disturbed and all debris removed. If not for the fence, we would not have known they had been here. Satisfied customer.

Their sales representative was informative and the work crews (for removal of the old fence and then installing the new one) were prompt and efficient. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We got several bids and theirs was very competitive. They showed up on time for the quote, walked us through the process.When they did the construction they did a solid job. Set the post in concrete and allowed to cure a week then came back a week later and did the rest in a day. Really quality job and a good price. Would highly recommend.

I made the decision to choose Minor's Fencing based on the recommendations on Angie's List. The estimator came to our home and discussed with my wife and me the various types of fencing that we could choose. We settled on two styles, and ultimately choose the cheaper of the two. We had budgeted 10K for the fence, which was right in the middle of the two estimates, so our decision was made by economics, but in hindsight, it would have been the right decision no matter the cost. The fence is beautiful, and blends with the neighborhood and home-style better than the other option would have. Minor's Fence made 3 trips to our home, the first to set the perimeter, the second to set the posts, and then to hang the rails. The crews that came out for the actual installation were very professional, each crew member obviously knew their job very well. They were able to complete the job in 2 days (1 day for the posts, which they allowed to 'set' in the concrete for a few days before hanging the rails) I had a handyman friend of mine staying at the home doing some inside carpentry, who also has experience with fencing / decking. He was impressed with the quality of the workmanship, the fence runs are perfectly straight, including a 300'+ run that went through some wooded areas. The other thing to mention is the quality of the materials used. I could not have purchased the material at the local 'big box' stores, this fence is going to last 30 years or more. I would feel comfortable recommending Minor's Fence.

I had a real good experience with them. The price was good, the quality of the work were good, and they came when they said they would be there. The workers were good, no problem at all and the fence is holding up well.

I cannot say enough positive things about Minors Fences. From start to finish the experience was absolutely painless. Their estimate was in line with the other estimates I received, but they offered a 2 yr warranty. That and the positive reports from Angie's List were the deciding factors. All employees with whom I interacted, including Mr. Minor, the owner, were professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. Sput came out to place the string lines, then a crew came out to dig the post holes. As was the case with my yard they had to hand dig all the post holes due to power and cable lines being in the way. Unbelievably, this was accomplished in one day. The posts had to set for a few days so today, 12/5/12, they showed up first thing and finished the rest of the project. This only took half a day. My yard was left in perfect shape and my fence is beautiful! Fabulous workmanship and I am picky. I would completely recommend Minors Fences to anyone looking for a fence contractor.

Good fencing is important to us since we have dogs. And recently an amazing 11 month old pup decided the old 3-1/2 to 4' fence was more fun to climb over than merely run alongside. Squirrel-chasing knows no bounds, apparently. Found Minor's Fence on Angie's List and on a recommendation from a friend. Minor's was remarkably responsive and quick despite still dealing with a lot of repairs from Hurricane Irene. The guy who performed the estimate was right on time - very nice, quick, and thoroughly answered several questions. He completed the estimate on the spot including options for parts that involved neighbors' fences. I made the appointment for construction a couple of days later. Their start date was about 3 weeks out, however they called back later to actually move it up a week. The first crew that arrived removed the existing fence in what seemed like 10 minutes. It was there, then it wasn't. It was probably more like 1/2 a day because of the concreted posts, but still - they were fast. They cleaned up well behind themselves. The construction crew came on a Friday morning. I was concerned that we'd be left without a completed fence over the weekend if they had to come back to finish on Monday. Dealing with cooped up dogs who are used to a doggie door is no fun. But - surprisingly - they were actually done before lunch. In the month and a half since they finished, I have had no problems with the fence. They really knew what they were doing, and they did it very well. It's solid and everyone has complimented us on it (like I did it or something). I mentioned my experience to a friend of mine last week. He said he had used Minor's 10 years ago to do his fence. 3 weeks ago, he had a problem with a latch on one of the gates. One of Minor's guys stopped by to fix the latch.... at no charge. I would never expect such a thing after 10 years and it might not be typical, but I think it is telling of the company.

Great job. Gates all open with ease, fence line is straight and very sturdy. The crew was professional and left a clean job site when the work was completed. Quality of the materials was better than what I could have purchased at a retail lumber store. 100% satisfied.

It went well from estimate to finish. The first contact person who discussed the project with me was very knowledgeable about the products available and the process. He focused on the project and listened to what I needed. We came up with a design and a price and I signed off on it that same day. The crew that came to set the posts as well as the boarding crew were courteous, informed, and obviously skilled at their work.They were fast,but thorough. Many neighbors and people passing by have stopped to comment on the fence and see who did it. I am pleased and have no complaints. I definitely recommend this company.

The fence consultant, Bill Winters, arrived on time and walked the yard, sketching and measuring the dimensions as he went. They offered at least three different types of pickets and I chose the "Gothic" which is a pointed picket with softly rounded edges. It was hard to wait until the day came for the installation. A few days before, Scut installed a string line with little posts to outline the fence footprint. All the teams arrived on time when the actual day came. We had an existing vinyl picket fence in the front yard which had been installed several years ago for a TV commercial. It was done without permanency in mind and looked pretty ratty. Minor's removed it and carted it away. They then installed all the 4" and 6" posts (approximately 50) so they are sturdy as can be. After a few days to let the quickcrete cure, Another team came out and installed all the horizontal boards which would secure the pickets. Then the next day the picket people came and installed all the pickets and constructed the gates including the one they built to replace our existing gate. Every team was professional, polite, hard-working and had amazing attention to detail. The fence isn't quite completed because we are going to have it stained with solid white stain to go better with the look of our house which is typical Northside brick/slate cape cod. I am an obsessive perfectionist andI think the fence is absolutely perfect. It is sturdy and beautiful and looks like it will last 100 years. I remember during the installation seeing one worker, Stuart, as he was constructing one of the gates. He looked at every picket critically and discarded those that weren't up to his standard. I think that's a good indication of this company's commitment to quality. If you ride around Richmond looking at fences, the ones that have a "Minor's" plaque on them will be the ones that look the best. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Installation went as promised. On time, efficienty, and professionally completed. One problem -- after a couple of months the gate needed some adjustment to latch properly. This was still covered under their warranty period. However, it did take a couple of phone calls and an email over a month's time to get the adjustment. It is completed now and we are overall satisfied. We would consider Minor Fence again

Excellent service and completed in timely manner. They did an especially good job w/making sure the driveway gate met the specifications required by our HOA. Well worth the price!

excellent service - work was timely and professional from start to finish. have had nothing but compliments on the fence.

I have a Border Collie who is a Houdini at getting out of the fence. They even measured my dog's paw so that they could put the pickets close enough that my dog can't get a paw hold to get over the fence. I have a very uneven terrain but they built the fence on-site so that they could match it perfectly to all the terrain. Not to mention, it looks beautiful. The only complaint is that the foreman was very verbally abusive to the guys doing the actual work - calling them "stupid" and "dumb-a**" and a few other rather colorful insults.

They did a great job and they did it economically. They did it quick. They were the best out of the lot.

All of the quotes I got from the different companies were all really close to each other. Minor said it would take four days to replace my fence but the people that live on either side of me and I have dogs and that would be too much time without a closed-in fence. The next two companies I heard from said they could do it in two days so I asked why and they told me that Minor’s has two different crews to do the job and they need a couple of days between them. They told me the time was for something to set but I would have rather they just tell me that that’s how they schedule things and been up front about it. I felt like they were trying to deceive me. I ended up with a smaller firm that charged about 10% less than Minor’s. I feel like they are a large firm that does a lot of residential business and everything about them was fine.

We received an estimate well in advance of the installation date, as we had not closed on the house yet. The estimator, Bill Winters, was polite and professional. He gave me the opportunity to choose a style and went over different options with me. The actual work began during the requested week. They began by installing the posts in concrete. A week later they added the wire, rails and gates. Work was completed on time, and the quality and workmanship were exceptional.

Minor's Fences did a fine job. We are pretty pleased with their service. They came when they said they would and finished the fence in just a day. The fence is sturdy and lined up properly. It was nothing spectacular but they got the job done.

Hopkins Carpet Cleaning did a great job of cleaning our carpets. They showed up exactly when they said they were going to be here and were done in about an hour. We already had the furniture moved before they arrived and the carpets dried in less than two hours.
