"Fences Plus repaired our backyard fence using existing boards and new ones. They are great to work with - Efficient, smart, thoughtful, fast and on time. I highly recommend Fence's Plus!"

"Very grateful to have them come out and help when they did. We had them tear down an existing fence on our home, and put up a new one. The tearing down, took a day to complete. The put up of our new redwood fence, took less than a week. We've received nothing but compliments since having this done. Highly recommend Lifescaping."

"Mr Lopez did a walkthrough and pointed out the loose fence posts and said they needed to be replaced. Gave us price options for 4x4 and 4x6 replacement posts. We went with the 4x6 since we felt they would be able to support the fence portions that were not replaced, and the 4x6 looks fine. When they took out the old fence posts (many of which were put in 3-4 years ago by another company) we could see that some were rotted through, and some of the 7' posts were sunk only 6" into the ground. So we are very glad we replaced them. In all they replaced 21 posts plus the 12' section of fence. The replaced fence and gate look great. Mr. Lopez' crew could replace most posts without going into the neighbors' yards, which was convenient. It took 2-3 days to repair all the fences , and the gate was installed later. He and his crew were polite and professional. There was a minor issue with the gate being too narrow (measuring issue), but they put in a shim to correct for that. It still looks great. We definitely recommend Lopez Fencing."

"I contacted this company after a friend referred me to them and the customer service was just amazing. Owner/Installer Ben was in constant contact with me, arrived promptly, and finished the job quickly. I couldn't be more pleased with the design of my fence, how safe it is, and the functionality of the gate. Thanks so much!"

"Good communication. Estimator explained costs and options very clearly and answered questions. Returned calls when I had additional questions. Office called to remind me one week and two days before job started. Good, quality work: Bottom of fence needs short retaining wall because the ground on one side is higher than the other side. Construction crew lengthened it from original estimate because they believed it would be a better quality fence, at no additional cost No short cuts: Fence is on a very gentle slope. Crew made sure top of fence is level and stepped down a few inches about every 20 feet. The old fence did not have the retaining wall and the top was a slope following the terrain. Very long wait list: I had to wait for three months from estimate to construction. Other companies' were shorter, ranging from 3 weeks to two months."

"John looked at the pics I sent him, discussed the problem thoroughly, answered all my questions, recommended a simple solution with a quote on the spot.  Completed the job efficiently and stuck to the quote, even though there were opportunities to increase it.  Although I wasn't there for the repair he took a picture of the repaired frame before installing the metal, to show that he actually did the repair (instead of just covering up the damage or a sub-par repair with metal).   He even put a coat of primer on for me.  Work area was left clean.  Repair was well done, and I appreciated his responsiveness, skill, efficiency, and honesty.  Will definitely hire again should the need arise. <br />  "

"They were very nice. It wasn't an exorbitant amount. This was a fence between my neighbor's property and mine. He was supposed to send him an estimate and I don't know if he did or not. He wanted me to give the information to my neighbor and he wasn't thrilled with me when I told him to send him a separate estimate. He was nice when he was here. They were here right on time to give the estimate and they answered all my questions. Their professionalism was crappy. He was fine when he was out here. It was when I received the estimate and called him back, he was crappy. I wouldn't use him."

"Patrick was amazing. Friendly and timely. Besides repairing most of the steps, he was able to get a helper that worked very hard cleaning up the Ivy and undergrowth around the yard. Ended up removing garbage bags of Poison Oak around the house we were un-aware of."

"I  would definitely give them a shot at any other fence bid.  And seriously recommend they be given the job, if you find the bid reasonable. <br /> They came in as low-bidder for fences on a rental property I was going to sell.  Low bid was the determining factor.  However, they co-operated with me so well  to do the job correctly, I made sure to include them as a bidder on our home fences in another city.  <br /> Again, I was impressed.  Not only because of being the lowest bidder, but because they set the posts correctly.  During inspection, the only faults were oversights they readily agreed to correct:  a gate spring on  one gate, and a gate curb on another gate they had overlooked.  The hardware they installed was substantial.  Both my neighbors were equally impressed by their work.  The job took 2 days.  They were on time, pleasant, and professional.  Unlike other contractors I have used, they did not have to be reminded to clean up after themselves.  They flagged things, e.g., sprinkler heads to avoid, and took care to minimize damage to plants. <br /> <strong>FYI</strong> - Fence posts should not come in direct contact with soil.  A layer of mixed/wet concrete should be placed in the post holes before the posts.  Next, it is best to pour, or shovel, concrete around the post, work it with a stick to get the air out, and finally, dome the top of the concrete to force water to run away from the wood.  Unlike the others, this company was aware of the need to dome the concrete and agreed to wet pour the concrete into the holes, and around the posts.  KUDOS!!! <br /> <strong>Suggestion:  </strong>Ask contractors what their procedure is for installing the fence posts.  <br /> <strong>BAD:</strong>  Most will tell you they put the post in the ground, toss 1 or 2 unbroken bags of concrete in the hole, then water them.  If you question them, they will tell you they've been doing it this way for XX years.  (Doing it wrong for XX years!)  This process will allow earth and various pest organisms to come in direct contact with the wood.   It is natural for the concrete to cup around the fence post and hold water their way.  Doming helps prevent unnecessary water and earth contact.  Doing it their way will shorten the amount of effort they will have to expend and shorten the life expectancy of your fence.  Profits up, quality down!  Hope these comments help you to be an informed consumer. <br />"

"Mr. Raygoza arrived at the time he said he would.  After removing the old fence, he went to great lengths to ensure that the new fence was installed properly by leveling posts, pouring concrete footers, and ensuring that the new fence was perfect. <br />"
