About us

Powers Custom Fencing was started in the late 1990's in Vienna, Va. I started Powers Custom fencing after learning how to build custom homes in the Newport News and Fairfax area. I loved building homes and working with wood, and I knew early on that this would be a trade I would learn and learn well. After a hurricane hit the Newport News area in the 90'sthings were devastated and work was put on hold. I moved back to Vienna , Va. ad immediately took a job with a company called Best Fence. I was not yet an experienced fence builder, but I knew carpentry. I quickly worked my way up and became the director of operations for Best Fence. This happened in less than one year. I was running the crew, doing estimates, and I also continued to do installations as well. I learned how to build every style of fence, and I learned so much about the different types of materials used for fences. One thing I paid attention to was the removal of old fences before installing the new fences. I was able to learn why certain things would rot, or warp, or lean, and we began a new practice of fence repairs. Many times a fence can be repaired , and thousands of dollars can be saved, instead of building a whole new fence. At the time Best Fence was owned by two men one was Mr. Beekman B. and the other was Mr. Cliff W. At this time in the mid 90's many people were still advertising in the phone book and newspapers, and websites were not nearly as popular as they are today. The two men that owned this company were paying out a great deal of proceeds to keep up with several other local companies by using phone books and newspapers. It was at this point that they made the decision to get out of the business and pursue other ventures. I still loved doing fence work and these men were willing to let go of the fence equipment at a good deal to me. I already had all the contacts in the supply end of the business and I knew the company inside and out. An added bonus was that my sister had married a ma tat was very good with web design. So the story goes I had a website built Best Fence shut down and Powers Custom Fencing was born. We already had clients since we were based in Vienna, and word was spread quickly. We were an instant success. I decided to add the word Custom to the name because so many people had fences that would go beyond the scope of what most companies would call industry standard fences, and many potential clients would be lost by these other companies. This is where I would come in. I would build people any style of fence they wanted, and cater to their needs rather than try to sell them something they didn't want just to make a sale. I have built so many hundreds of custom fences at this point, I became known in the area as the custom cedar arbor/pergola/ custom gate guy. I genuinely have a passion for fencing and I love the work, even to this day I dig holes almost every day. We began to branch out and started to get commercial contracts, with companies such as Wal-Mart, Verizon and Sprint. We would build the loading doc fences for wall marts all over the area that kept getting damaged by big semi trucks backing into them. The cell phone companies would have us build fences around the new cell phone towers that were going up all over the area. With lot of hard work and great employees , and a good website built by Dreamten Studios.Com Powers Custom Fencing was the best company in the area. At one point we were running 9 trucks every day and we had more work than we could handle almost. We became so fast at what we did , that we actually built a fence around the Reston Animal Zoo in One day. This was a job that was thousands of feet long and it was done in one day. It was at this point that the economy started to slow down, and it was hard to keep all the men busy every day. Slowly but surely Powers Fencing became a small more family oriented company , and I began doing much of the custom work with me and a helper. We have done some incredible custom jobs over the years, and we have many references. We are still set up to do large fences and small fences alike. We recently completed a sizable commercial job for Norfolk Southern Railroad in Manassas that was very impressive. This year since the changes with Google ad the way people find companies through searches has changed so much. I decided to give Angie's List a try. It seemed that they had a good reputation and i had heard from several friends that Angie's list was working for them. So I decided to give them a try. They have worked out well for me I I have been happy. My reviews reflect that nearly every single person I have actually done work for has loved my work and had no complaints. The complaints in the review section that are negative have come from a a mistake that occurred while performing the Angie's List Big Deal.

Emergency Services Offered

Services we offer

Our specialty is wood privacy fencing and wood picket fencing. The most commonly used material in the fence industry is pressure treated pine, but my recommendation has always been cedar. Treated pine has changed over the years and does not hold up as long as the cedar. I recommend wood fences are stained or sealed, and we have our own process for this. A wood fence can last as long as you want it to We also install all other types of fences. The most common are cedar and pine. Give me a call

Services we don't offer

I do not offer services outside of my service area, unless special circumstances permit this to be beneficial for us. We did the Big Deal In Montgomery County over the winter and it went well. I offer free estimates but i do not offer free work, unless it is warranty work. I offer a 3 year warranty which is 2 years longer then the industry standard. I have a special way of setting posts, which is a secret, I can tell you during the free estimate. Jackhammer work is not our favorite but we do it

Description of Work: I called the Vendor to schedule an appointment for 4/17/2013@9am. Vendor did not show up nor did he call. I called and rescheduled for 4/22/2013@9am. He did not show up again and did not call. I called again, he told me he was having problems getting to everyone so he needed to rescheduled for 4/27/2013@3pm. He did not show up nor did he call for the Third Time, So I called and e-mailed Angie's List for a refund. I am very disappointed and would much rather have the work done but I do not want anything to do with this vendor.

Description of Work: The contractor came without an appointment when I was not home to perform the work. The work was to be done on my other house but he said he was not obligated to work there as it was not my residence but I found him to be incorrect. I have lost my confidence in this contractor as he has not been anxious to resolve the matter.

I have never heard of this client nor have I done work for or taken anu money from thisclient. This review must be a mistake. Brad , my favorite rep, you should be on this sort of thing, it's nad enough the guy that has to wait 2 weeks to have a picket nailed in leaves bad reviews this is the lasr thing I need. I say that all in good humor , I know it wasa mistake and it will be removed once discovered,

Description of Work: I contacted the service provider after having purchased the big deal. Explained that I was selling my house and needed the service done as soon as reasonably possible. I responded in a timely fashion to any requests from the provider (pictures, availability, etc.). After a couple of emails back and forth reminding him of my time frame, I finally received a response on 3/24 that the work would be scheduled the coming week. On 3/29 I contacted the provider letting him know the work was not complete. On 4/1 I received a response from the service provider that he was having issues with the scope of work of other customers and waiting on them to respond, etc. and I was not forgotten about. He replied it would be a week or to and that he would guarantee the work would get done before the 6 month expiration. On the same day I replied with a reminder that this was the week I was moving out on 4/6 and that I could not wait any longer and asked if there was anything he could do, especially since he had pictures showing that maintenance would be all I needed, not replacement of posts, etc. When I did not get a prompt response, I contacted Angie's list for a refund. Under normal circumstances I would of happily waited. However, I feel that since my time frame was communicated in the beginning, I think he should of told me at that time that it was a slim to none chance of my being scheduled within my time frame.

Response from Powers Custom Fencing LLC
I arrived at the home of [member name removed] with my foreman and had a look at the damage. we realized immediately that 6 posts needed to be removed and replaced and one gate needed to be taken down all the way and rebuilt. As per the Angie's list Big Deal Fine print a post replacement is $50 per post. Taking down gate and rebuilding it and adding new hinges and a latch would be $90 for the hardware and a small fee for the rebuild. Before doing the work I wanted to call and get authorization without just doing the work, and apparently the number that was given to us from the coupon was no longer valid, so we sent an email detailing what needed to be done and awaited a response. I received no response, so I sent another email, which I still have and which is dated and I still never heard back from the customer. I assumed that they either did not want to spend the money or that maybe they were out of town. I never do extra work that will cost more than the big deal without first verifying that I am cleared to buy the supplies and do the work. I am not sure what happened in this case, but I do know that the neighbor tried to get my foreman to do some fence work for him without calling me and I told my foreman to have him give me a call. I was hoping that maybe during this call he could help me contact [member name removed], but he never called. Whenever a mistake is made whether it is our fault or the fault of the client , I to do the work at no charge since these people are Angie's List Customers, ad I am offering the same deal here. If a mistake was made in communication on our end or otherwise, I am offering to do the work personally at no charge, regards Powers Custom Fencing
