Recent Dog Fencing Reviews in Cincinnati
- NFA FenceWe had a fantastic experience with NFA Fence! Our project was complicated - removing and replacing old fencing, installing some entirely new fencing and installing a new gate across our driveway. Joe came out and spent time with us, walking around the yard and asking questions to make sure he understood what we wanted,and offering suggestions to solve some challenges unique to our property. After his initial quote we had some additional questions and he walked us through our options. Once we decided on a plan the whole process was smooth. Joe and his installation team worked quickly, keeping us informed throughout, and they left the work area clean and tidy. We started getting compliments on our new fence immediately. We couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend Joe and NFA Fence
- Borg's Pet FenceThe repair went much better than I expected, as I assumed it might require several hours to resolve. As always, Pat was friendly, professional and efficient. He quickly assessed the problem (line had been cut by workers in my yard) and had the fence fully operational in no time. I could not be happier with the work and final product
- NFA FenceI was concerned with the pitch of the back yard that out dog would eventually get under if the fence was install to hight. Joe and NFA fence heard my concerns and delivered. Thanks again!
- Cincy Fence RepairMy first reaction was to replace the fence new posts, rails and wire. Cincy Fence Repair came out determined that with the exception of 1 post and 1 rail the fence was sound except some wire. the post and rail would be replaced and new wire. A big saving against a new fence. The work was completed in a day. An addition to the rebuilt fence Dig Defense was install at the base of the wire, ( a first time using this product for CFR, a few snags from roots but in general the were installed in 1/2 a day) Both men were true craftsmen and hauled away all trash. The dog loves it's new boundary. Pricing was very reasonable and work ethic of both men was excellent
- Pioneer Fence CoChris Jump did the estimate and the job. He was prompt, professional and very good. The new fence looks wonderful and we could not be happier. I would not hesitate to hire Pioneer Fence again. FIVE STARS!
- All Around Joe LLCRita was great to work with in setting up the appointment. She put up with several back and forth emails from me with questions regarding the work. Zach arrived on time, was very nice, professional, and did an excellent job. I believe their price was very good for the work they did. In fact, we're already lining up another job with them. Thanks All Around Joe
- Pioneer Fence CoThe work was done as described. The crew did a good job cleaning up. I appreciated the way in which they explained options with respect to some of the repairs and upgrades we wanted.
- Pioneer Fence CoRussell and Chris did an awesome job installing our fence. They took their time to make sure the fence was straight and sturdy. The gates they built are perfect and went above and beyond to install everything to our expectations! Would definitely hire again, great job!
- Advanced Outdoor Services LLCI would highly recommend this company. Family owned and operated, Jeff, his brother and a worker performed the needed fencing. The end result was excellent. They cleaned up each night and took away all materials from the job. No nails or stray lumber in the yard and not other refuse to remove. They took pride in their work and were very good at communication and updates for any weather or material delays. I would not hesitate to use them again for any work. I would recommend you give them a call
- Advanced Outdoor Services LLCJeff and his 2 men were the nicest people, ever! Hard workers, knew what they were doing and did it perfectly! They should get a rating of A++++ They removed old thin wire from a Kentucky Board fence & replaced it with heavy duty black wire fencing. Big Job! Removed poorly built gates & replaced it one red cedar roll top gate, sturdier hinges and a hand opener that really works. Also, put in 6x6" treated pine posts 12 " in diameter and 32" deep in concrete footing. Also, lined the gate with metal bars for sturdiness. Fantastic!!! The clean up was perfect. The whole job was perfect. And they completed the job in one day - as promised

"Absolutely outstanding work! We couldn't be happier with the project, from the design to execution, all within the cost estimate and to a standard that exceeded our expectations. The job required a striping of a sub-standard deck and stairs with railing, a complete redesign and replacement of wood with a composite decking while preserving as much of the existing structure as possible, to save cost. Additionally, we needed help with a enclosing the underneath of the porch. Joe was very helpful in working with our design ideas and we're very pleased to have followed his sound recommendations. Joe and Jessica Hagen run a fantastic business, super approachable and responsive to our changing design ideas. Special "shout-out" to Steven Brown, of Steven Brown Carpentry (the main contractor of the project), for an amazing job . The finished project is an enduring reflection of his professionalism and expertise. All Decked Out and Steven Brown Carpentry have our most enthusiastic endorsement. Thank you both for a GREAT JOB!

"I contacted Jeff at AOS Jan 1 after a tree came down and took out my back fence. Jeff and his brother got the tree cut up and temporary fence up to protect my dog. They had it installed the very next day. The old fence was over 30 years old so after getting an excellent quote from AOS, I hired them not only to repair the broken section but to replace the existing side privacy fence and gate as well as upgrade the entire perimeter with 4’ green coated fence. The weather and wind were beyond terrible but they pushed through each day with below 0 windchills. I cannot say enough about these 3 guys and there work ethic and dedication to an excellent job well done. THANK YOU

"Devin and his crew are professional and very knowledgeable on what they do. They let you know exactly what they are doing in detail and explain why they are doing it . They are very reasonably priced, quick to respond back to messages and calls..
I was trying to go about doing a cheaper, easier route, but Devin was honest with me. He told me that he didn't feel comfortable doing that due to the fact that it just wouldn't work and would cost me even more money In the long run.. Really appreciate his honesty. Especially considering that I have had people do that to me in the past just to get more money out of me in the end. I would highly recommend Devin and his Crew to everyone I know...

Fencing FAQ
-
How much does it cost to install a fence?
Answer: The average cost to install a fence is $2,600. A variety of factors will impact the overall cost of fencing installation, such as the length of the fence, the materials you choose, and local labor costs. Fencing projects using the lowest cost materials and with lower labor costs can cost as little as $1 to $6 per linear foot, while projects using the highest cost materials and with higher labor costs may be as high as $15 to $45.
-
Do I need a permit to build a fence around a yard?
Answer: Whether you’ll need a permit to build a fence around your yard will depend on your city or county's local codes. Many metropolitan and suburban areas require a permit to install most fencing, but they may not for fences situated behind a house as opposed to in front of it or fences that don’t run within a certain distance of the road. To find out if you’ll need a permit to fence your yard, reach out directly to your local government office.
-
What is the cheapest fence to install?
Answer: The cheapest fencing to install is chain-link fencing. Chain-link fencing is typically cheaper than other fence types because the materials cost less, and installation is generally quicker and easier than other options. Chain-link fencing is affordable, easy to install, and low maintenance. However, it’s usually considered less secure than other options and doesn’t increase resale value as much as fences made of different materials.
-
Is a wood or vinyl fence cheaper?
Answer: Wood fences are generally cheaper than the cost of vinyl fences. While the cost of materials for wood and vinyl fences is usually very similar, the labor cost associated with installing a vinyl fence is higher. Wood fencing is also easier to install than vinyl fencing, making it possible to save money by making wood fence installation a DIY project. It’s also possible to DIY install a vinyl fence.
-
What is the life expectancy of a vinyl fence?
Answer: Vinyl fencing can be expected to last between 10 and 30 years. Vinyl fencing is generally low maintenance, but proper care will ensure it lasts as long as possible. Its long life span and high return on investment make vinyl fencing a popular option for many homeowners.
-
What type of fence adds to the property value?
Answer: Installing quality fencing, no matter the fence type, will generally add value to your property. In general, fences made of longer-lasting, lower-maintenance, and more attractive materials—like wrought-iron, composite, or vinyl—add more value to a property than fences made of lower-cost or less attractive materials, like chain-link. To ensure your fencing adds as much value to your home as possible, be sure it’s properly permitted, approved by your homeowners association (if you have one), and installed properly.
