Excellent from start to finish. Ken, owner, was detailed with his paper work. His workers were timely and detailed in their finish work. They were flexible as needed for the project to meet my needs. All were pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend them.

I wanted a good looking and secure gate to match the exterior of my home. Ken was prompt and professional in giving me his estimate. I told him what I wanted and he advised me of the best colors and lock for the gate. His crew came within the week and installed the gate. They were timely and thorough. The gate is exactly what I was hoping for! I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional and well made gate or fences. Thank you so much Ken for making it a convenient and easy process!

After installation, the gates swung the wrong way. Ken blamed me for ok'ing the drawing; fair enough as I should have noticed it. But one would think that he would draw them to swing in the obvious correct direction. I had to pay more to fix. Then, less than 2 years later, the locks have become difficult to turn, despite maintenance, and the screws are rusting. I have left two voicemail messages one week apart and he has not returned the call. Otherwise, the gates are fine and he is decent guy to work with IF he decides to return your call. No way to treat a paying customer, don't you think?

"[Member Name Removed], you may want to check your voicemail a little better before writing a libelous review of me and my company. I responded both times within minutes of your calls and left messages on the same business line you called me from. I have saved screenshots of my calls back to you but unfortunately I cannot post them here. Regarding the gate swing, we try to conform to pool code whenever possible. Your review above is not an accurate refection of our conversation. Perhaps in the future you can email people as a backup since clearly there are phone issues on your end."

We did have a little problem with their masonry people putting the broken up concrete in an alley trash can. The city caught them doing it and they had to come back and take it all out. I think the fence company just hired these masonry people. They did columns for us, the columns we had were too weak to hold the gate. Overall, the fence and everybody that installed the fence it was excellent. I'm going to give them an excellent, their estimator and everybody that was connected with the company, except for the, I think they learned their lesson, mason people. I'm going to give them an excellent. Well I had quite a few estimates from other companies and what I wanted done was custom. So I think I got a good deal. Responsiveness, absolutely and "A". Except for that slight problem with the Mason people I'd give them an "A" for professionalism. Absolutely would use them again, we are going to get two smaller gates in a couple months from them. I went through a lot of people and estimates to find these people, to find professionals. I'm happy with them.

Terrible. I called and spoke with Ken. Explained that I needed 2 gates for a pool that was being installed therefore it needed to be able to be locked. Handles were $95 extra for each each. Problem....handles they put on did not have a lock so not pool compliant even though the estimate Ken gave me clearly said "latch was to be one hole lockbox w/double sided wave handle". I would have been OK with the incorrect handle if they welded 2 metal tabs with a hole so padlock could be put on each gate but there was none. Ken came out and replaced the handle - but not with lockable handle. He replaces it with ONLY a deadbolt. So now I have 2 gates are complaint with pool regulations but no handle to open them. He said he could put on handles with locks but it will cost me $350 for each ($700 on top of the $195 I already paid him for the handles)!! What a scam!!! I told him to put back on the handles that I all ready paid him for. I will find a welder to put on 2 metal tabs so it can be padlocked.

"This is an unfortunate situation where a customer loved the gates she saw on our website even though her house was not in an area we serve. We made it very clear to her from the beginning that we can't warranty gates that we don't install. She wanted the gates badly and came to our shop and picked them up. A few months later, she text to say she didn't like the handle we had provided, that she needed a lock. I asked her if a double-deadbolt would work for her to which she replied, "Yes." I picked up two double-deadbolts, had them keyed the same and drove over 50 miles to her house and installed them. At that point, she didn't like those either and told me she needed a handle with a lock on each side. The only time I had purchased those before (for a one-hole lockbox), my cost was $300, which I told her and said that those were not what she had contracted for. She became a bit indignant and told me to put the original handles back on since that is what was in the contract, which I did. A couple of things to note, first of all, I was not obligated to drive over 100 miles round trip to help her, as we had delivered exactly what she agreed to in the contract. But I did the drive because I really wanted to solve the issue. Second, I was in the process of going another extra mile for her by searching websites for cheaper locks that might serve her purpose when she decided her best plan to remedy this was to try to damage our reputation through social media. I was under no obligation to spend half a day trying to help her, but our company does what we can to satisfy every customer. Some can't be satisfied. Happily, that's a very rare occasion!"

Sales agent responsive to questions, made reasonable suggestions (some of which saved money), met with us several times to finalize details. Work was performed by a crew of 3 in one day (after factory prefab) with on-site bending of sections to follow curves of patio; they made corrections and immediate touch-up of paint spots after my inspection until I was completely satisfied. Very pleased overall.

Ken installed 2 RV gates and a fence panel and I couldn't be happier. He is the most responsive, upfront, and honest businessman I've met yet. Hiring him was the best decision I've ever made. We had our gates installed about 6 months ago and one of the gates started to sag a bit. I emailed him about the problem and he responded within 5 min, his crew was out the next day and fixed the issue for free. This guy is top notch.

Excellent. Sun King Fencing & Gates did a top notch job. The gates are beautiful. That sure do enhance the look of the property. Ken was great. Kept me informed all the time. The fabricator and installer (Benny) did a great job.

Ken was amazing. It was a small job which no other company would even come look at to give me an estimate. I told him I had 3 small children and the post had rotted through on the bottom, which could easily be pushed over, giving the kids access to the pool. He gave me an estimate the next day and the job was done within a week! Workers that replaced it were quick, thorough, and professional.

Cannot say enough about how wonderful owner Ken and his talented crew are. We have a very strict HOA, and Ken helped us work through the process with humor and creativity. The installation was done right on time, right on budget, and it looks beautiful. We installed it for utilitarian purposes, but it has really enhanced the look of our small backyard and patio, thanks to a thoughtful and well executed design. This was a rather unusual project because if the curvy wall and a rock water feature. It looks fantastic, and the workmanship is impeccable. We will be calling them again when we are ready to build a courtyard gate.

I received a competitive estimate so I went forward with Sun King. Initially went well and Ken (owner) was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. I have an electric release strike plate for the gate and though Ken admitted having no prior experience with this type of lock, I was reassured this would not be a problem. This lead lead to a month delay in finding the proper lock and fitting for the gate. I had an initial install date of April 20 and the job was not completed until May 25. The cost of the gate also increased by $600 making the job more costly than some other estimates I received. Ken gave the initial bid based on a certain type of lock/handle despite knowing about the electric strike plate. He then had to order a different lock so the gate would work and this cost was passed on to me even though the mistake was due to his inexperience.
The delays and increase in cost were acceptable given that Ken was very communicative during the process and up front with his lack of experience having only owned the business for a year and a half. My main complaint is with the finish and color of the gate. When I had the initial consultation, I was given my options on gate color. Ken does not carry a black sample with him and did not mention the ability to color match any existing color until after the installation. Having no prior experience, I asked Ken for his recommendation and he said the dark brown would be the option that would go best with the house (even with some existing black iron work on the house). When the gate was installed, the "dark" brown was obviously very brown next to the existing black iron. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the color but he felt no obligation to refinish the gate despite the color being his recommendation AND that he did not have a black sample to show me AND never gave me the option for a color match. He simply gave me information for another company that could repaint the gate and proceeded to closeout and charge me the remaining balance.
Even though Ken was easy to deal with and very accessible, his lack of experience lead to delays, increase in cost, and a finished product that did not match well with the house. Although he admits to this, he claims no obligation to make the job right. I will now likely incur more costs to repaint the gate which will likely make the job more expensive than all the other bids that I received.

Professional and overall good experience. I would have preferred to pay with debit card, it took a week for check to clear. They did schedule quicker than other companies. Ken answers phone quickly.
