"removal of old chain link fence and installation of new wooden fence"

"A 1 Fencing installed a new section of fence for me last spring and made some repairs elsewhere along the fence. They first inspected the fence carefully, and quoted me an estimated cost for the repairs that I found reasonable. They then returned and did a fine job. I give them top marks, and recommend them highly."

"My neighbor hired this company to install a new fence around their entire backyard and to remove the old fence. Our neighbors rent their house out so they were not there when the fence was installed. I own the house on one side of theirs and I was at home during the install. The crew did not appear to speak to english when I tried to talk to them, I cautioned them several times about places the heavy debri on top of the owners drainage system and I was ignored. The workers also came into MY backyard without asking permission, They were using my gate to enter and leave my yard and have broken the gate. It no longer latches shut. In addition, they removed at least some of the old posts by sawing them and leaving the remains in the ground and just digging new holes for the post. This has caused a huge issue for me as the owner of the house nextdoor. Our lots are on a hill and now all the yard debri is actually washing thru the fence into my yard. The holes from the original fence were never filled in and the concrete that was poured for the new post is all over my yard. My dry river bed now needs to be repaired as a result of this company (it is adjacent to the fence). I have reached out to the company and provided pictures and they have not gotten back to me. I am very upset that I am going to have to pay money to have my yard and gate fixed due to a fence that this company installed on my neighbors yard. Bewarned about the crews that this company employees and their lack of caring about your personal property or your neighbors. Update: After posting the initial review, the owner reached out to me. He came out with a crew and fixed the fence gate. They said the lawn issues are due to settling (the yards are on a hill) and I would need to contact the owner of the house or just fix that myself."

"Freedom Fence and Deck will always be our go to company for any fencing needs! This was our second time using them and just like our first fence install they did not disappoint. From their super knowledgeable sales team (Brian), to their install team, and even their owners (Steve), they all played a part into why they are Maryland’s #1 Fence and Deck company. We had nearly 500 feet of fence installed (50% on a severe slope) and not only did they do an amazing job but they were able to complete everything in just two days. If you’re looking for a reliable company that ensures every project (big or small) is finished to perfection, I would highly recommend checking them out."

"Just wanted to let you know that we are so happy with the deck. Everyone at Fence & Deck Connection was so easy to work with. This was the easiest home improvement/repair we've ever gone through. We really want to thank everyone. From our initial meeting with Tracy to the pre and post installation meetings with AJ things could not have gone better. Everyone we dealt with just via email was also extremely responsive. It actually surprised me how quickly our emails were replied to. And the crew were also great."

"Very professional crew. Showed up removed my old fence put in a brand new fence with three gates extremely nice very professional. Completed the entire job in just one day."

"Rustic Fence came when they said they would, and were readily available. Duane our main contact gave us very good advice and was very mindful of the property line. They even had to remove more brush in order to keep the fence as straight as possible as we have a lot of trees. The team was fast efficient and went above our expectation of completing the fence the same day."

"Proposal was very detailed regarding materials and fence design/construction. Proposed cost was very competative. Quality of the work was superb. And the installation crew was very profession. Highly recommend Alcides Deck and Fence."

This company did a wonderful job.  The gentleman who did the work was very good and thorough...almost too thorough.  The dry wall tape on the ceiling in our garage was coming down, and we had a leak coming from somewhere around our windows into the interior.  We planned to have him caulk around the front windows and repair the areas on the garage ceiling where the tape was coming down, and then do some minor spackling in the house.  Three hours seemed reasonable for this work.

What was great:  The handyman was very polite, knowledgeable and careful.  He found our leak and caulked two of our windows on the second floor to stop it.  He totally re-cemented and taped our garage ceiling and it was a solid and careful repair.  He was clearly skilled in all things handyman!  It was easy and convenient to get an appointment, they were responsive and came when they said they would.  They absolutely did a quality job, which is the most important thing when you're trying to get home repairs done.  I would have trusted him to do more work.

What was not so good:  Minor things, but I am picky.  This is a franchise, and the owner gets some services from the parent corporation, running up the price.  The special was already a bit more than what I would normally pay, the price for additional hours was $90, which I would never have paid if I could have helped it.  Also, the gentleman did not have basic materials with him, so he could not complete the caulking because I did not have enough caulk on hand.  He fixed the leak, but other windows could have used caulking as well.  I would have expected him to have caulk or alert me that I would need to provide it.  Also, he went to town on the garage ceiling and redid the whole thing.  He did a great job, but I didn't expect him to do the whole ceiling which was very time-consuming and required us to go over the hours in the special.  Then we didn't have time for the spackling I'd hoped to have him do. I would have liked him to evaluate the job before starting and tell me that he would need to do the whole thing.  Also, the owner always sounds like she's trying to rush you off the phone, or doesn't really want to be talking to you. I was shocked to find out she was the owner.

So, my advice is to try this company but communicate in detail at every step.  Tell the owner (who handles the phone) what you expect to get accomplished in the time allotted and do a pre-work walkthrough to be sure there will not be any surprises.  You will be very happy with their work.
