"Last year Northland Fence installed a tan vinyl privacy fence for my 1 acre lot, replacing a rotted cedar fence that was falling down. I was really impressed by the post design as a means to anchor the fencing without future rotting issues, and it saved lots of installation time versus the older cement process. This was a huge fence, and they completed in two days of work, and the fence looks great! Fast forward one year later and strong winds this year have knocked over 6 x 30-foot trees from my neighbor's yard into my yard, damaging the fence in multiple places, bending posts and breaking side panels. Tim came by to perform the repair last week and the fence is completely restored to previous condition in about 2-3 hours of work. You could not tell that so much damage had occurred except for some cleaning that I need to do. While onsite, Tim also addressed some sag in installed fence doors with very well-built diagonal braces and adjusted the doors to being square. He was polite, professional, and delivered great results - represents the Northland Fence brand well. Strongly endorse the fence solutions from Northland. They build beautiful, well-constructed fences that enhance the look of your property, and provide great support for their installed solutions. If you're looking for a good fencing contractor, these folks will do it right for you."

"I contacted many fence companies to replace a section of chain link fence and replace a single gate with a double gate. Responses included 1) they don't do chain link fence any longer, 2) the job was too small to bother with, or 3) they simply didn't return my phone call. However, North Star responded positively, and I could tell after talking with Jeff that customer service is a priority for them. The entire process went extremely well, and we are very pleased with the results. John, the owner, was out within days to prepare a proposal. He is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and professional, and a pleasure to work with. He also came back out to set the posts, a critical aspect of the job. Installation of the chain link was done very neatly and carefully, yielding a very nice-looking fence. It is exactly what we were looking for. I would strongly recommend North Star Fence."

"Everything went great. I'd highly recommend A&M. I reached out to A&M to quote replacement of the section of wire that I had most problems with. He responded quickly with a quote. I normally would have tried to do it myself, but his price was very competitive. After pricing out how much it would be to rent an edger, buy 500 ft of 14 ga professional wire for pet fences and then figuring the hassle, it was a pretty easy decision. I called around to other invisible fence installers and they were multiple times more expensive, even including a ~$200 charge just to come out and check the system (which I didn't need, as I new it was working). I had also tried purchasing and using two pet fence break detectors in the past and had limited luck. I'm hoping that I can now just sell them and use this guy in the future. Curt (of A&M) arranged to have Gopher 1 out there the day before to mark the site- I didn't have to do anything with that. We worked out a time that he could come out to do the work that worked for my schedule. He ended slightly early on his earlier jobs so he texted me that he was able to come out ahead of time. He was also nice enough not to ring the door bell and wake my 5 week old son. He pounded the job out quickly and without any mess- installing the 14 ga wire. He also worked with me for a few special needs I had in running the line- very reasonable guy. He finished by verifying for me that the new line worked. He definitely knew his stuff and seemed to stand behind his work. I'd hire him again- super easy to work with."

"Great. They came on time.I was given a very clear payment options. I had an opportunity to change the colors of my fence and they accommodated it. They were very personable and very efficient in their work. overall they are a good people to work with."

"The siding crew with Craftsmen Home Improvements was professional and efficient. We appreciate that they installed our lights, doorbell, mailbox, etc. in addition to putting up our siding. We absolutely love the way our house looks and will certainly be recommending Craftsmen Home Improvements to friends and family!"

"I was really pleased that Security Fence & Construction was willing to do a smaller maintenance job. I began calling companies in March in anticipation of the busy season, and some other companies wouldn't even return my messages. The guys did a great job. I noticed that they were very careful to walk on the sidewalk and to avoid plants and flowers. I will definitely use this company again and will recommend them to family, friends and co-workers."

"We hired them to custom build a fence in our backyard, to match our neighbor's fence in design and style. When digging the post holes, they managed to break a piece of our house siding off. Furthermore, many post holes were dug on our neighbor's property (despite surveyor's stakes) and had to be removed and reinstalled. Things didn't get better as the project progressed. First, despite assuring us they would be able to match our neighbor's fence, the fence they built was a foot shorter and the custom design was very poorly executed. After negotiations, we ended up with a nice fence as long as you don't know it is supposed to match the neighbors. The office staff were always very pleasant and professional. They paid for and coordinated repairing our siding. Overall though, we would not use this company again. <br /> <br />"

"Replaced privacy fence destroyed by storm."

"Ken came out a gave us an estimate that was much better than other companies we had talked to. He was very patient with our questions and very thorough with his explanations. After satisfying all our concerns, we then decided to hire Arrow Fence and throughout the entire process, they answered all our concerns and consequently we have a fence that we are very happy with."

"Bottom line: the fence is nice and as far as I can tell is well installed. If you are looking for care and attention to detail, and quality customer service, however, this is not the company I would recommend. I picked them based on mostly positive reviews, price being comparable to my other bid, and they could do the work sooner. I think the fence itself is nice. My complaint is regarding a lack of attention to detail, and customer service mediocre at best. The contract specified that the dirt from the post holes would be placed in one spot (so I could put it where I wanted). Instead, without asking me, they spread it around my garden. The problem is that the soil is heavy clay and was laid across perennials that can't grow through it. Worse, it was put on some of my neighbor's garden as well. Also, they did not fill the holes from the previous fence posts. For the amount of money paid, I would expect much better attention to detail. This work was done in late fall, and I (and my neighbor) found these problems in early spring, when we went out to start working in the garden. The response I got when I told the company was a questioning of why I hadn't pointed it out earlier, rather than an apology and acknowledgement that the fault was not mine but theirs. They did send the work crew out eventually. This is how I experienced them: first they just walked in the yard with their shovel without knocking on my door; when I went out to talk to them, their reaction was clear: this is a waste of our time; they left again without talking to me; I went outside and wondered if they were done, since some post holes were still unfilled and there had been little attempt to remove the clay soil from the gardens. But they never came back so I deduced that was the end of it. I was just sorely disappointed with the attitude, and especially of the crew."
