came back that night with one latch they needed to complete. We have zero complaints
Description of Work: This was my second fence with them. Hunter the estimator went overboard to get me literature and answer questions. They gave me what i wanted when another company refused due to the pool even though we have a cover.

It did not go well. The estimator (John) was rude, arrogant and unhelpful. He did not explain to us that he first wanted to measure before we had any conversation and when we tried to talk to him about what we wanted he snapped at us with a sarcastic tone. After he was finished measuring we sat down to talk about what we envisioned and asked for his thoughts. He was not willing to be helpful about design, placement nor which fencing to use. He had one brochure for their fencing and we were not allowed to keep it He informed us that the website was not up to date and he did not know where the information on the web site came from. On the plus side, he told us it would be a few days before we would get an estimate however it came within hours of him leaving. It was for $16,000. Our other estimates were for $10,000 and $12,000. This is a huge job. It almost felt like a bad joke and he was doing everything he could to keep us from doing business with him. We neglected to look at the Angle List reviews until after John left or we would have never contacted them to begin with.
Description of Work: We contacted this company to get an estimate on an aluminum fence around our back yard.

We had to have gate fixed so it would close, need additional post added to section of fence, and there are still many picks that need to be replaced because their are knots that fell out of them or wood is split or bowed. They did not use a good quality of wood. They said we have a year warranty with them and they will replace the wood in October... but not sure if that will happen. I wished I had paid more and gotten a better quality fence. Very sad.

We contracted Fences Unlimited to replace all of our 4 foot fence gate add a new gate and put the lift out 8 foot section back in. We decided to use the week of 8/12 for the work to be done because we would be gone and would not have to worry about our dog not having a fenced in area while they worked. When we came home on Friday evening we were shocked to find a muddy mess of saw dust and dirt all over our driveway, fence posts cut uneven, the lift out gate only 6 feet and done not to our liking, holes left from old post removal, our phone cord dug up and left exposed, a few nails left in driveway and they even dumped extra dirt behind our trees along our fence line. We could not call until Monday as they were not open on the weekend. After we called the owner and his son did come out to see the fence and met with my husband. After a bit of explaining, they agreed to come and fix all of our complaints the next day and even add a few stones to match our patio where the new replacement gate was made wider. The work crew and son did show up as expected. My husband made a point to be home to watch over and make sure all was completed as we asked. They buried the phone cord, evened out the fence pickets, corrected the lift out gate and filled in the post holes. Course a worker was caught again dumping dirt behind our trees and we had to ask that they remove it and for the most part they did and smoothed out what was left. They forgot the stones for the patio which I think was just an added touch to try and make us feel better. They borrrowed our broom to sweep off the dirt on the driveway as they did not have any equipment to clean up with. All in all they did come back and comply with all the repairs and left us with a nice looking fence. We were just so unhappy that we had to have them come back out and make so many repairs. This will be a company we never call back for repeat business.
Description of Work: They came and put up the fence.

These folks did as much as they could. Did a nice job with the fence and they fixed a leaning post in my lawn. They came when they were supposed to, did what I asked, and they were courteous.
Description of Work: They had to change out a section of our fence. They like to build the fencing from scratch. They had to match out fencing as close to possible as the original fence.

Overall it went very well. They were busy and were going to take a day or two longer than the quoted 5 days to come back and put the wire chainlink on the posts, but they were backed up due to the rain. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We had a black chain link fence put in for our dog. The estimator came on time, listened carefully to our concerns, and delivered a reasonable quote. The company came on time and did a very professional job, although they were clearly busy. Although they did not have the lowest quote, we went with them because they responded quickly to our calls and seemed to be very prompt. I would definitely use them again.

I got a quote to add a kennel inside my back yard fencing. A quote for $1200 was the new fencing and repairing/replacing 2 boards in the existing fence. When I asked about just the repairs (2 boards), that quote was $300 which seems ridiculous and helped me decide not to do the overall project with Fencing Unlimited.

I contacted Fencing Unlimited on 6/1 requesting an estimate and their sales manager came to my house on 6/5. We discussed the type of fencing that I wanted and he went over all of the options that I had as far as style of fence and he also offered some advice regarding the aesthetics of the fence in relationship to my yard. He then took measurements and wrote up an estimate for me on the spot and the whole process took about half hour. After contacting two other fencing companies for estimates I decided to go with Fencing Unlimited because they had the lowest price and they offered a 5% discount for being a member of Angie's List. I contacted them on 6/12 to let them know that I had accepted their estimate and scheduled a date to begin work. On 7/2 a four man crew came to put the posts in and each post was set in concrete and were spaced about 8 feet on center. The whole process took about 4 hours. They returned on 7/10 after the concrete for the posts had cured and began to fasten all of the runners, boards and pickets onto the posts. They worked for about 4 hours but had to quit because it started to rain. They returned the following day and completed the job. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality and professionalism of work that was done as well as the price. I would highly recommend Fencing Unlimited to anyone who wants a fence of great quality at an affordable price.
Description of Work: I had Fencing Unlimited erect a fence to enclose my backyard which was a total of 276 linear feet. Of the 276 linear feet 186 feet was a 6 foot high concave wood privacy fence that went down each side of the yard. The remaining 90 feet was a 4 foot high concave wood picket with 2 inch spacing which ran across the back of the property. They also installed three 4 foot wide walk gates and one 6 foot wide drive gate. The materials that they used were pressure treated wood and the fasteners were hot dipped galvanized ring shank nails. The corner and line posts were 4"x4" and the gate posts were 6"x6" which were all french gothic in style. The pickets were 1"x4"x4', boards 1"x6"x6' and the runners were 2"x4". All of the gates were installed with hardware. The finished side of the fence faced out because that was a requirement from my Home Owner's Association. I also went with an exposed post look because I thought that it would look aesthetically pleasing.

They had put the fence all around the yard. They did a fine job. They were right on budget, they were quick and it was completed in one day. I did not face any problems. Everything was cleaned by them after the job was done.

The initial visit and installation went pretty well. A few days before they were to install the fence, my husband and I realized that we would need a double-wide gate to allow for trucks to reach our septic/leach field (just in case). I called Fencing Unlimited to see if this change/addition would be a problem, and they were very pleasant about making the changes. I was informed that an additional gate would need to be ordered and would not be able to be installed with the rest of the fence. The day of installation, the crew arrived on time and immediately went to work. It was a large crew of 6 men, so they were able to install the fence quickly. There were a few pieces missing (including the extra gate I ordered), so the crew left when they ran out of parts. They left a few extra pieces/parts leaning against a tree and a box of post caps in the yard. I wasn't impressed with how they left the project- even though it couldn't be completed. A few weeks later, when the new gate arrived, they were back and finished the project. Unfortunatley, the wrong gate was ordered, so it did not match the rest of the fence. Alas, another gate had to be ordered. Nearly 6 weeks later, the new gate still hadn't been installed and so I called the company to inquire. The new gate had arrived, but they hadn't made it a priority to install. The woman on the phone was very pleasant and assured me it would be done within the week. She was true to her word, and the gate was installed a few days later. Overall, they did a fine job, just a few hiccups along the way, and I had to keep calling/reminding them about my project. The fence looks very nice. My husband thinks it is a little flimsy, but overall we are happy with the fence.
Description of Work: Fencing Unlimited installed a pool-height black aluminum fence around our backyard and pool. The fence has 3 gates (one gate is a double wide gate).

I was very happy with the installation of my new fence. There was a slight issue with the placement of the posts. However, upon calling the office, the owner met my husband and they agreed on moving the posts. Part of this issue was most likely due to my original meeting with the salesman and not clearly checking over the drawing, even though I specifically asked for the posts to be placed in certain areas. We also did not stay at home the day of installation. Perhaps if we would have been home, the placement would have been correct the first time. The owner was very fair in moving these posts and we agreed to pay a little additional to make things correct. This is the second fence we have had Fencing Unlimited install and its doing a great job keeping my little dogs safe in my back yard. It is also very attractive and we have had many friends comment on how nice the fence looks.
Description of Work: I hired Fencing Unlimited to install a 6' privacy fence with french gothic posts, approx. 330' of fencing. Two standard gates were installed and one large double gate was installed for vehicles to fit through. The fence was also cut along the top in order to flow with the rolling landscape of my yard.

Overall, I didn't have the same positive experience others did. The set crew that put in the posts left cigarette butts throughout my yard and cement on new sod (I had to chip away at several dried chunks of it). The finish crew was worse, though. Both gates were supposed to swing in and they installed them to swing out. The quality of the wood was below average, in my opinion. And the gates were supposed to have thumb latches and they had some other type that made me think of a barn gate. They broke a potted plant (and didn't mention it). And I was walking up the driveway as they were finishing and noticed an oil can on the driveway, a gas can on the grass, and they were playing music very loud in the truck. The only reason I cared was because they burned the grass with the gas can, they left a rather large (12 inch diameter) oil stain on my aggregate driveway, and my neighbors could easily hear the music. I had to make 3 follow-up calls to have the gates fixed.
Description of Work: Installed a picket fence along the sides of my home and a privacy fence (and gate) between home and detached garage. One crew set the posts and another crew returned in a week to install the fence rails and gates.

They did a real good job on the fence, but they dumped concrete in the back yard behind the woods. They were a little expensive, but I was very pleased with the job they did and the looks of the fence. They were on time, took things out of their truck and got to work, got it done and left. The clean up was good, except for the concrete they dumped.
Description of Work: We had a six-foot wooden fence installed in our back yard, with one gate. It is a large back yard, but it is a partial fence up two sides, because part of the back yard is woods.
