1st contacted in early Aug, received text they would be out but never came. Contacted a 2nd time, recd another text saying after Labor Day but never came. Left message on website 2 weeks ago with no response. I just want them to honor their warranty before more of fence falls off and my dog gets out of yard. I think 3 months is more than reasonable to wait for response.

Mark and his sons at Good Neighbor fence were awesome. The price to fence in my 3/4 acre yard was extremely reasonable and they did the job quickly, efficiently and professionally. I could not be happier.

They quaranteed 15 years on old fence and 30 years on new fence. I did not get this in writing so when a panel came undone I called and Mark and he came and looked at the problem, He did not mention anything about a upfront fee, said he would get back to me. I waited until Fall and did not hear from them so i called. Mark said he would be out the coming weekend. He did not show up but did call the following Monday, and said if I wanted them to come out there would b a 250.00 upfront fee. I asked about there quarantee an he repeated the 250.00 upfront fee. I told him to Go to ****. and he said F--k You. Not in my opinion very professional.

"The only problem you're having is with the Home Depot brackets that have broke in the wind storms.I DO NOT IMPLY ANY WARRANTY ON HOME DEPOT PRODUCTS,they do ! All the work we performed and the New Fence we installed is in perfect condition and NOT in need of any repair what so ever.I've been to your property twice for the same thing and have gone over the entire fence, with you right there with me.I've explained to you each time that I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOME DEPOT PRODUCTS ! I also let you know,that I would go to HOME DEPOT and get more brackets to replace the one's that broke.That's what the $250.00 charge is for ; us getting the brackets for you and then replacing them.That's such a bargain nobody in their right mind would refuse ! You obviously DO NOT understand what we went over TWICE. I've been nothing but polite and courteous to you and offered to help you out.The 250 dollars is our minimal labor charge. ( seems you DO NOT understand that either ) To put that in prospective,Lowe's minimal labor is 700 dollars.You are the one who has been nasty,rude,insulting,cussing and mean to me.My phone service records all my calls and I have yours.Everything in your review is totally false ; The old fence is Home Depot 's and is warrantied by them NOT US ,it is their brackets that broke,nothing of mine.I told you about the minimal labor of 250 dollars the first time I was there and you said you'd have your Grandson do it.He tried but messed it up and that's why you called me a second time.I met with you for a second time and told you the exact same thing ; For 250 bucks , I'll go to Home Depot get the brackets and install them ! You were rude,swearing and slammed the door on me with out saying good-bye.You left a derogatory voice message and cursed me out a lot worse than what you have up top.I still called you back to offer my help and you went off on me again.(my service has the recordings) Just because you can come on here and slander me doesn't make it right and I will be seeking legal counsel.Please feel free to call me"

Mark returned our call promptly, and was on our job within two weeks, despite having to deal with increased demand on his business from the extensive storm damage in the area. Mark and his two sons were prompt, courteous and very professional. They additionally were able to do a couple of smaller jobs for us at a very reasonable expense at the same time. The job was finished in two days. Highly recommended

"Hi Folks and thank you for the nice comments.It was quite the storm we had in April,resulting in your fence being on the ground,as many where. I didn't install it but when you called and identified yourself as an Angie's List member, we where happy to help ! We actually dropped our new installs to help members , as the volume of calls for repairs was so high. We helped several members out for as long as we could.We have received a couple nice comments but many don't bother to thank you any more.Seems in today's world if someone has something nasty to say , they'll go to great lengths to write about that but it's like pulling teeth to see the good. That's why we feel so lucky to have met so many NICE people here. Members , please remember to identify yourself as a Member right away when you call us.You will go right to the top of the list. It takes me a little time to return calls but please be patient. If you let me know you're a member , I will call you back !"

I had 3 quotes, one from Good Neighbor, and two from other very highly rated fencing companies. The first quote was a fair price and seemed like a trustworthy and reliable company. The second was extremely expensive, and felt more like a sales pitch. They kept trying to up sell me from what I really wanted. Mark with Good Neighbor was the third and I was blown away by his presentation. I could immediately tell that he was passionate and proud of what he sells, and the work that he and his two sons perform. He went into great detail on the outstanding quality of the materials, and how they go above and beyond on construction (post depth and how they are set is important). He was able to arrange the work around my schedule, so we could get a playset for the kids delivered exactly when the old fence was taken down. His two sons were always courteous and friendly, even when working hard during hot days. They took time to explain to me and show me all stages of the construction. I was amazed when they showed me how far down they dig for the post holes, and how they bell it out at the bottom to ensure it doesn't get pushed out of the ground. Mark even took extra time to work with my neighbors (we both have pools, so the adjoining fence was double sided to ensure we are both to code), and explain to them exactly what would be done with their section. They took time at the end of the job to clean up, rake all the dirt, and get the yard as perfect as they could. They even took extra time to make sure they filled dirt right up to the fence so our small dog cant get out. In the end I would absolutely go with Good Neighbor again. The fence they built is incredible. They will definitely be in our neighborhood again, because a number of the people on our block pulled him aside to get the company information. I will recommend them to everyone I know that is in need of fence work.

"This has got to be the best and most accurate review I've seen here on Angie's List. We can't thank you enough for taking the time to do this.I'm so glad to see you're happy with our small family company.We will be back in your neighborhood,as I've sold a couple jobs to the surrounding neighbors.I've also received a call or two,from other members, telling me they've seen your commits.Geoff we can't thank you enough for your kindness. Angie's List and referral from past customers are our number ONE source of business and we treat it that way ! That's why it is so important to identify yourself as a member right away,when calling. The only negative experience I've had here, is when some members fail to mention it and go with the other calls , that may not be returned in a timely manner.If you fail to tell me you're a member and do not get a return call, it is your own fault. I've been treated unfairly and rudely by a few here , who have never even met me.You do NOT have to trash me by giving me a bad rating,rather call back and let me know you are a member !"

Mark and his sons were wonderful. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a fence installed! He is very responsive and does high quality work. We are beyond happy with our experience and love our fence! We got quotes and spoke with over five fence contractors in Buffalo and are so happy we went with Good neighbor fence company. He made us feel comfortable and seems to really enjoy what he does and that is important to me.

"[Member Name Removed],thank you so much for your kind words.It was a freak thing, that when I had a customer who needed to switch dates , you called. It couldn't have worked out any better for me and yourself.Glad I could help out your neighbor too.I know you'll have many years of enjoyment with the new fence but if we can ever help out , just give me a call. Once again , another happy member and such nice people , like the many we have encountered here on Angie'[Member Information Removed] List . I consider this site " Repeat and Referral " business and is my most important source ! Please remember to Identify yourself as a Member right away when calling us. Member calls go right to the top and the others take quit a while for me to return, as my time is very limited. Thank you , for your consideration, Mark"

If I could give Mark and his sons a grade higher than A+, I would! Mark came to look at the damaged fence the morning after I called him. He gave me a write-up for the job within a couple of days and then he and his two sons came to do the job. They are extremely professional, very pleasant to work with, and they were very efficient. They used high quality materials and my fence looked better than new in just a few hours. (He also noticed something at another part of the fence and made sure that they secured that also.) I would recommend them without reservation and would definitely have then back for another job (in fact, I kept telling them that I wished I could find other types of contractors with their high level professionalism and quality).
Response from GOOD NEIGHBOR FENCE COMPANY
"Wow,thank you so much for the kind words.I'm so glad we could help you out and it was a pleasure.Both my son's said how nice you were to work with.Your fence is a good one but getting old.Please keep us in mind if you need more repairs,and don't hesitate to call us.We have met so many nice people here on Angie's List and I really needed someone NICE like you to put such a wonderful post on here right now.

Good Neighbor Fence was not the least expensive company that quoted my 400 Ft+ PT fence project. However, their speed, installation methods and quality of pressure-treated fence products made them the best value, far and away. Mark C. and his sons, are extremely professional, show up on time, and work amazingly fast for a three-man operation. Unexpectedly, they cleared trees and bushes that were in the fence line, at no charge to us. They dealt professionally with neighbors who were terribly rude to them during installation as well. We are considering bringing them back to extend what they did last year, due to the look of their work from last fall. I would STRONGLY recommend Good Neighbor Fence for any of your fence projects.
Response from GOOD NEIGHBOR FENCE COMPANY
"Thank you for the nice review [Member Name Removed]. I know you had estimates lower in price than mine but realized the value my company offers.By your own words we were " The best Value far and away " , so I'm a little confused about the B for price.The wood fence we built for you will never require staining , unless you want that look. It is also installed to code of 42 inches deep and we are the only one's who do that. All # 2 wood requires staining within 6 weeks of the installation.It would have COST you several thousand dollars to stain . A COST you will never have ! Also even after you stain that stuff , you still have an inferior # 2 fence,that isn't installed to code. If you have us back to extend the fence,rest assured that all the wood will match perfectly to what you have now.Another thing those #2 guys can't do.I say it all the time here on Angie's List ; The thrill of saving a couple bucks goes away in a couple days,but Quality Materials ans Expert Craftsmanship lasts a Lifetime ! We super appreciate the business and look forward to working with you again, Mark,Matthew and Jonathan"

Mark and his sons were excellent. They were easy to work with and responsive to our changing of plans. They were prompt to get us in early this spring, as we needed a fence for our dogs. I could tell they genuinely cared about our concerns and reassured us about our concerns of the dogs being able to get out. The fence was done in 2 days and I couldn’t be happier! We would absolutely use good neighbor fence again!
Response from GOOD NEIGHBOR FENCE COMPANY
"Thank you so much for the kind words and nice review.It was a pleasure doing business with you.Your Dad was a big help just having him around to guide us. He really knew exactly what you wanted.The dogs took a couple outings to finally give us their approval.I'm so glad you mentioned that we genuinely care about the customer and their concerns. I can't stress enough that's WHY I started G.N.F.C. back in 1974. I was sub-contracting for all the fence companies and didn't like the way any of them do business. To make up for all the overhead they cut in the two most important parts of the fence business,materials and installation.Remember the difference between # 1 and # 2 is not one , it's 100 % ! Example right here ; we furnish real vinyl coated, heavy mill chain link. The second rate companies sell sub-standard , Painted fence. We cover all our work with a FIFTEEN YEAR labor warranty.The #2 companies may be 1 to 5 years , if any at all . I'm so glad to see you are happy with us and your new fence Kathy.I know it will provide security , peace of mind, and many years of enjoyment. Best regards, Mark,Jonathan and Matthew"

"Thank you for the nice review [Member Name Removed].It was a pleasure meeting and working for you ! I have installed several of the fences on your street, all are standing and in perfect condition,with my sign on them.The fence we replaced for you was Not Ours.It was another companies # 2 job. The materials were sub - standard #2 and the posts we dug out were only installed two feet deep. Folks, once again this is the classic case of pay me now or pay me latter. WE are the # 1 company for good reason. The difference between US and all the # 2 companies is not one, IT IS 100 PERCENT ! With the recent wind storms,I've been all over W.N.Y. Everybody calls me because we put a sign on our fences and they are the one still standing ! All our repairs are to #2 fence installed by #2 companies,that does NOT stand a chance in our harsh weather. Most aren't even 3 to 5 years old ! All those #2 companies are telling everyone that unless it's their fence they are too busy to look . That's because most of their work is on the ground right now. We put our new installs to the side so we could help Angie's List Members. The reason I can is because ; Mine are not broke , just the opposite , so I am busy fixing all the other companies not mine ! We have fielded well over 150 calls for storm damage and have replaced more than 100 posts , panels and gates. Not even ONE of them mine. [Member Name Removed], if you look at the fence that did survive,you'll see it is totally different from ours.When that side falls down , please feel free to call us , Thanks again Mark, Jonathan and Matthew."

W.N.Y. weather wreaks havoc on anything that is outdoors. We have fielded over 100 calls through out our region.Folks,do your homework ; all those # 2 companies that use # 2 materials and do not even install to code,are not a bargain.The small amount you save is not worth the problems you'll face.Several of the fences we are repairing, due to Broke posts,rails and panels,are not even 3 years old ! This is " WHY " I started GNFC back in 1974 ; The thrill of saving a couple bucks goes away in a couple days but quality materials and craftsmanship last forever !"

Last month we posted a negative review on this site for the Good Neighbor Fence Company. We thought the owner, Mark Caruanna, was intentionally not returning our calls and texts to avoid fixing our fence. It turns out he never got our texts as they were sent to a landline. Once Mark saw our review he immediately contacted us and came to the house to fix the problem. It was a minor fix but Mark took care of it right away. We owe Mark a sincere apology for the accusations we made. His company does great work and we would highly recommend Good Neighbor Fence to anyone looking for a quality Fence at an affordable price.
Response from GOOD NEIGHBOR FENCE COMPANY
"Thank you very much for posting this , Mark PLEASE everyone here on Angie's List, YOU come first but I have to know you're a MEMBER ! I return member calls FIRST but if I don't know you are a member , your call will go to [Member Information Removed] bottom of [Member Information Removed] list. I receive between 30 and 50 calls per/day and not all are Angie's List Members. That means if you do not identify yourself as a member , it could be two weeks before I will call ! Also, I am a working man and in [Member Information Removed] field with my two son's installing everyday. Then right from working in [Member Information Removed] field,I go out and do estimates at night. This leaves very limited time for me to return calls.So don't think waiting till I return your call , is [Member Information Removed] time to tell me your a member.PLEASE first thing , first time you call, Identify yourself as a member and you will get a return call in a timely manner."

Response from GOOD NEIGHBOR FENCE COMPANY
"Thank you for the kind words and nice review . I'm glad you waited a couple years to see how the fence would stand up to the elements. Fast forward 20 years or so and your fence will still be there with out any maintenance at all. My wood fence has been up for 24 years and we still enjoy it today ! The average age of a Wood fence in W.N.Y. is 8 to 12 years. Our wood we use is the best available and treated with the Osmose Process. It is Northern Red Pine, set on real ( true ) 4 x 4's,cemented 42 inches deep.My two son's and me provide the installation and give a full 15 year warranty. We are the #1 company here and A+ Rated with the B.B.B. Remember the difference between US and all the # 2 companies here,is not one , it is 100 % . Thanks and best regards, Mark & Sons"

This was our second time using Good Neighbor Fence Company as their products are by far the best products available in this market. Mark and his sons definitely take pride in the work they do and their craftsmanship proves it! It is true that you get what you pay for. While Good Neighbor Fence wont be the lowest estimate you get, I can guarantee you that you will get the best quality product available and the little bit more you will pay will be well worth it. I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a new fence!

We were extremely pleased with the work done by Mark and sons. They took down our old fence and installed a new fence in two days. (This was great to keep our puppy contained.) The new fence is high quality and the installation job was very professional. The new fence looks great, and have received compliments from the neighbors. Mark was very responsive to our inquiries throughout the process. We would highly recommend Good Neighbor Fence to others.
