Get matched with top barbed wire fence installers in Shady Side, MD

"There were some initial communication challenges but the guys installing the fence did an awesome job."

"They quoted me a good price. They installed the fence when they said they would. No delays. I would hire them again."

"The installers of my front steps and railings did an excellent, excellent job. They worked with precision to make sure their installations were correct and measurements were accurate. They did an excellent job cleaning up once they were finished. I plan to use them again in the future."

"I'll start this review by saying that to me, the "end result" is what counts most.  And Neale and his company produced exactly the custom look security fence I had envisioned.  This was a bit of an unusual request, because even though many people have iron bars welded over their A/C units for security, I needed two large, expensive (side by side) heat pumps protected.  Also, I felt a "security fence" would look better than just metal bars.  So here was my experience: After 1st calling and getting leaving a message with an assistant, it did take a few days but Neale called me back to set up an appointment to give an estimate.  He arrived right on time, took a look at the situation, and after a few minutes of brainstorming we were on exactly the same page in terms of design - and I liked how he sketched it out.  I also felt his quote was very reasonable (his was the 3rd estimate I had gotten).  And I don't know, there was just something about Neale, I could tell he had a *passion* for security fencing and "keeping crooks out" so to speak.  After getting my estimate in writing via email later that day, I put down my (1/3) deposit.  About a week later, after fabricating much of the fence in his shop, Neale and his team arrived and got to work fast.  I took them 2 days total, which was fine (day #1 they installed the fence posts and the concrete needed to set overnight).  Day# was most of the assembly,  welding and the paint job. Now, about 2 weeks later, I am extremely happy with the final result.  Very secure, and very sharp looking!  Even the gloss black paint job is very nice.  My neighbors have made several admiring comments over the past week also.  The only thing I could fault, if anything, would be if speed - is critical too you.Baltimore Wrought does seem like a busy company so don't be surprised if there is a week or so delay / backlog.  Also, they do prefer cash payment vs credit card.  (I did my deposit on credit card and paid the final 2/3 cash).  But  these minimal factors were not a big deal for me, because *high quality* work and to a lesser extent, total price, were all I really cared about - and these guys definitely delivered on both!

"Install went smoothly and very quickly. He was a upfront about possible issues and how they would mitigate them. Since it was a small job, he cut us a deal sourcing pavers leftover from a previous job."

"mail.We originally contacted the contractor near the end of April since my wife and I wanted to get some stumps removed from our back yard and to replace the fence. We were also wondering if we needed to get the large spruce tree at the front of the house cut down since it was leaning and shedding alot of needles. Ben came out and gave us an estimate for removing the tree, grinding and removing the stumps in the yard, taking down the fence, and grading the sloping back yard, which is what we also wanted.
The quote we received was complete, and stated that it was good for 60 days. Well, work ramped up, and we weren't able to get fence quotes as well as a boundary survey completed until mid to late June after we came back from vacation.At that point, we had decided to leave the tree alone, since we were told it was healthy and not a danger. We also found a fence company we were comfortable working with.
Two days after the 60 days was up, I both telephoned and emailed the company with a revison of the original quote (minus the tree removal)  and said that I hoped that that quote was still good, and that we would like to get the work done within two weeks to coordinate with the fence contractor.
I didn't get any response, so I again left a voice mail.
I understand that it is a small family-owned business, but I would hope that someone would check both email and voice messages at least once a day.  Email is great, but it still doesn't beat the personal touch of a real person's voice on the phone.
I'd still like to hire them, and I know that I let time pass before deciding to hire them, but I would appreciate some contact, please.

"Fred worked quickly. He finished the entry gate and replaced part of the fence that was missing. His work was excellent. He did a much better job than the original company which installed the fence. Then he started attaching the wire fence to one side of the fence. Initially he was'nt sure if he'd be able to attach the wire to the entire fence and I did not expect him to because he had done so much already. Fred had to move some tree branches out of his way in some areas but he manged to attach the wire fence to the entire wood fence. He did a wonderful job and he his work exceeded my expectations. I would use this company again and I'm going to tell my friends and family about them.

Dave Bennington and his crew exceeded all of my expectations.  In short, he and his crew were meticulous, efficient, highly skillful, prompt, patient, responsive, and polite.  While renovating my condo, they kept dust and dirt to minimum.  At the end of each work day, they neatly stored their tools and the construction materials.  Dave did a lot of the work himself.  He or his crew were on site at key moments, e.g., to supervise the flooring and granite counter installations.

The granite, flooring, carpeting, and plumbing fixture vendors that Dave recommended provided excellent service and products.  I was at home during most of the renovation; consequently, I was able to observe Dave, his crew, and the vendors? work first hand.  Although it was a stressful two and a half weeks, I looked forward every morning to Dave and his crew?s arrival.

Seventeen years ago, in July 1998, I moved into a then-new two bedroom, two bathroom condominium with living room, dining room, kitchen, foyer, and large loft.  There is a 16-foot cathedral ceiling over the living room that meets the loft?s ceiling.  Other than installing a ceiling fan in the living room, new lighting in the kitchen and dining room, and a new dishwasher, I had not renovated the living room, dining room, kitchen, and foyer.

In March 2015, I hired Dave  for three reasons to:

1.      renovate my living room, stairway to the loft, dining room, kitchen except for the cabinets, and several components in the two bathrooms;

2.      correct, to the degree possible, a prior contractor?s shockingly poor work in the master bathroom; and,

3.      repair, to the degree possible, the builder?s construction mistakes. 

After agreeing on the work to be done and costs involved, Dave took me shopping.  He has vendors with whom he has long-term, established relationships.  We visited Rockville Granite, Carpet & Floor Express, Inc., Ferguson Enterprises, Inc. (plumbing fixtures), and River Glass Designs.  All four vendors are in Rockville.

Dave only charged me for time and materials.  Instead of charging a contractor?s markup, Dave arranged for me to pay the vendors directly.  All told, the renovations cost $35,000.  Given the amount of work that Dave and his crew did and the quality of vendor?s work and materials, I think that $35,000 was very reasonable, especially for the Washington DC area.

Dave has an excellent eye for design. With his guidance, I selected beautiful granite counters for the kitchen and bathrooms, high quality bathroom and kitchen plumbing fixtures, bathroom lighting fixtures, great looking laminate flooring for the foyer, living room, dining room, and kitchen, and fabulous carpeting for the two bedrooms.  I especially love the laminate floors, carpet, and granite counters.  Everyone who has seen my renovated condo has been very impressed with the outcome.

His work in the master bathroom deserves special mention.  The prior contractor had used porous cement, rather than epoxy, grouting for the bathroom floor, shower, and shower wall tile.  The prior contractor did such a poor job of grouting the shower floor tile that I had the prior contractor remove the initial grout and install new grout.  Even after two tries, the grout failed, i.e., fell out and turned yellow and black.  When installing the second round of grout, the prior contractor chipped many shower floor tiles.  The prior contractor?s crew misaligned the new frameless shower door and the two glass panels on either side of the door.  They improperly installed new lighting fixtures in the bathrooms.

Dave and his crew corrected the problems with the shower.  His crew removed the poorly installed shower floor and replaced it with new underlying rubber sealant, shower tiles, and epoxy grout.  He replaced the sloping Carrera marble threshold with a new, level threshold.

He arranged to have River Glass Designs install a custom-built frameless shower door.  River Glass Designs also installed new custom-cut mirrors over the vanities in both bathrooms.  Dave and his crew installed new lighting fixtures in each bathroom.  When mounting the new lighting fixtures over the mirrors, they discovered that the prior contractor had dangerously installed one of the fixtures. They corrected the prior contractor?s sloppily done detail work in the master bathroom.

Finally, Dave and his crew did an excellent job of repainting the living room, stairway wall, foyer, dining room, kitchen, and bathrooms.  They took the time to prepare the walls and ceilings properly for repainting, e.g., used sturdy joint tape where the ceilings met the walls and carefully spackled and sanded walls.  They finished many, many small repair jobs and improvements that I meant to complete, but never did.  For example, Dave installed new LED lights, which I had purchased years ago, in my three bedroom closets and my laundry room.  He and his crew did a beautiful job of refinishing the top of my dining room table.
