Recent Fence Installation Contractor Reviews in Tampa Bay
- Fence CentralI only needed a small 12 foot fence to protect my generator from heavy blowing rain, but Barbara treated me as if I were one of their most important customers. The fence looks terrific, the installers were all professional and courteous. I highly recommend Fence Central.
- Family Fence CoFrom the initial survey to the installation, everything was done in a very professional manner. We love the look of our new fence, and our neighbors do, too!
- Family Fence CoFamily Fence was great from the estimation to the installation. The estimation process was quick and easy and they were very transparent with their pricing. Their customer service team was available whenever I had questions and the getting the install scheduled was super easy. The install team showed up on time, left no mess, and did efficient work. All in all I would recommend them to anyone looking to put in a fenc
- Family Fence CoAfter various quotes from different fence companies and facing an 8-10 week backlog installation we came across Family Fence, and they were not only competitive on price they estimated the install date would be within 1 week of permit approval. They were right on the money from estimate date to install date we now have beautiful white vinyl fence with federation caps. gates! From estimate to install was 4 weeks, the permitting took the longest. The install Team was very professional and accommodating. Great Job by everyone!
- Family Fence CoVery good company to deal with. Salesman was very professional, but not pushy . The installation crew were very good , neat and courteous.
- OConnors Property Solutions LLCWe contacted O'Connors Property Solutions to replace our backyard fence following damage from Hurricane Ian. They came out to measure and they listened carefully to what we wanted to accomplish. As they took their measurements they pointed out several small challenges (working around a tree that was in the fence line) that they wanted us to understand and approve of before beginning the work. We asked for and received various options for materials (vinyl vs. wood) and various color choices. Their quote turned out to be below other local fencing companies. When they began their work I could quickly see that they were organized, careful not to damage any plants (the fence had to be placed behind a Virburnum hedge, no easy task), and they were quite skilled in the installation process. I cannot recommend this group more highly. They did everything that they said that they would do and did it in a very timely fashion. It is difficult to find honest, hard working and skilled people today. Well, I found them at O'Connors
- Only Safe SolutionsThey did an excellent job , using cement to secure the posts. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They performed very well. I am hiring them again for another project.
- Ajila Home Improvement, LLCLuis was amazing. He is extremely communicative, including sending a message to confirm timing. He was punctual and on top of all of that did really high-quality work. He did an assortment of jobs for me all in one day including some repair work to a gate and my fence, and correcting poorly done door installation that was done by someone else. He also did some woodwork for me, painting, and separate caulking in my bathroom and kitchen. Luis is really top notch
- Fence Company Near MeOur new fence looks great! Their crew is talented and were great to work with. Several of my neighbors came by and were impressed with how good it looks. I highly recommend "Fence Company Near Me" for any fence work you need done.

"I was very happy with the service from J Rivers. They were willing to use a specialty supplier that I found online and install a beautiful fence with Aluminum posts. They had not installed this type of fence before but were eager to do it. Their execution of the job was great. Straight sight lines, no scuffs that I could see along the posts after installation. The only minor issue was that one of our sprinkler lines was broke during posthole digging. The repair to fix it was minor so I did not bother to inform the company about it. They estimated 2 days initially but told me up front that it would be 3 days. Overall, very friendly and respectable staff. My neighbor even complimented me on how polite the gentlemen were with her.

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.
