- Griffiths Metal Products Inc.If you want hassle-free professional metalwork performed for your home, we recommend you choose Griffiths Metal Products. We made a request, and it was completed exceeding our expectations. They were proactive throughout the process which required little effort on our part. We had three items we needed done to enhance our backyard. They had previously done work at our home in December 2016 by installing patio railing and installing a chain-linked gate in our backyard. For this second job, we requested via e-mail for Griffiths Metal Products to install a black aluminum gate adjacent to our patio, replace a broken gothic picket top, and repair a gate hinge to our aluminum picket backyard perimeter fence. Although the sum of these three items was minor work for their company, we never felt we were a bottom priority in their worklist. Ozzie responded to my initial request e-mail the same day (May 23) and came out to take measurements and make an estimate the next day (May 24). Adam called us on June 13 and arrived on the same day to install the custom aluminum gate and repaired to our existing fence. Great job as I admire my beautiful backyard
- Griffiths Metal Products Inc.Ozzie and his family were AWESOME..! They provided Shop Drawings for the Coral Gables Permit which I pulled. The did a great job and the fence looks modern, clean and great..! They even came back to install a small piece that I forgot to include in the original scope of work. Thanks, guys..! Joe
- Samada Fence, IncAwesome, awesome, awesome can't say enough good things. Best in service, best in quality, best in price, Living in south Florida you can consider your self lucky if you can find a company who fits at least two of these. Well I can honestly say that they meet all three. Just an over all great experience. Had the new fence up and 95% completed in the first 2 days of starting. And while there was a little delay on the last two pieces (which was a special order) Sergio always kept me well informed to the progress. My yard was not left in a state that was not usable in any way while I waited. And he even came back and changed a portion of the PVC fence that was damaged by my Dog biting on it.. At no extra cost

"We needed 78LF and of fence and two 5' gates for a house we just bought so the dogs can run free. Greg (sales) showed up on time and provided appropriate insights and education and provided a quote. We decided on pressure treated wood, 6' tall, modern horizontal fence. We checked a few other companies and BCF's price was on the low end of middle range and most reviews were good. The bad reviews had me worried. Spoiler: I had NO reason to worry. Once permit was approved, the job was scheduled within a week. Brandon (the PM) called and asked if they could install a day early, crew showed up with the correct materials and they were courteous even when I questioned every step (like I said, I was worried). At one point, the crew started to contour the fence on a slope instead of stepping it as planned. The crew called someone, then very quickly corrected that section. The fence looks great, the online invoicing was easy and the team communicated along the way. Was it a little more expensive that planned? Yes. Lumber prices are crazy right now. Did it take a little longer than planned? Yes, the City of Wilton Manors took longer than usual to approve the permit. Notes from picture - We didn't pay to have them landscape or stain - We have plans for this later after the wood cures. They will do a white glove landscape restore service if you want it.

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.
