The service went great.  They did a beautiful job and did exactly what we needed at a decent price.  I appreciated how they showed up on time and were able to get the job done quickly and efficiently.  We needed the work to be done by a specific date, and they were able to make it happen.  I was so pleased with the service that I am going to have them come out and do some additional work when the time is right.

Originally intended to go with redwood, but after conversation about the quality of the wood today versus even 25 years ago, and the fact the fence would be exposed on a twice-daily basis by automatic sprinklers by the adjoining property, I decided to go with vinyl.  The contractor did not try to promote any certain kind of fence or products.  But we had an interesting conversation about the quality of redwood today versus even 25 years ago and how the trees are harvested so much quicker and younger now.  He mentioned vinyl, which at first I didn't even want to consider, but I saw a photograph in his sample book and chose that for my fence.  The contractor said it would take two days to complete the project.  It actually took a full day and about half of the second day.   I would definitely use this company again, as well as highly recommend them.

I was very happy with my experience with Foothill Fence.  Carl, the owner, came on time for our appointment.  He was very clear and helpful in picking out the type of fence and gates that would work best for me.  He sent me an estimate the next day that I thought was very reasonable for the amount of work being done.  He couldn't start the work for 3 weeks because he was so busy but that was okay with me.  Carl got in touch with me the week before the work was going to begin.  They started the work on a Monday and finished on Thursday.  They came in on budget and the fence and gates look great.  Carl's foreman, Ron, did a great job of explaining everything to me each morning before they began the work.  I'm very happy with the work they did.

They showed up on time and did the work quickly and efficiently.  They removed all the debris and cleaned and swept afterwards as well.  The fence looks great.

Carl came when promised to look at the area. As promised, he emailed me a quote in a few days. It was very reasonable. He told me that he could not do the work for a few weeks but that was fine. Busy is good! A few days before coming, he called to let me know. His guys were a bit late, but they called and explained the problem. It is a beautiful gate, just as I asked completed in a day. I could not be happier.

Having read overall great reviews on Angie's List, I contacted Foothill Fence Co. Jerry turned up on time & we discussed building a new fence along one side of our new house. I received the estimate via email a day or so later. I was happy with the price, but above that, I trusted Jerry & knew that he would do a great job. We scheduled the work to begin ASAP, which was about 1.5 weeks away. Jerry's crew turned up on time on the agreed day, & Jerry arrived shortly afterwards. We discussed again what was to be built, finalizing heights, & they got to work. I had decided to put in a new gate along one side of the house, but was undecided about the other side. I called Jerry to discuss, & he always returned my calls promptly & offered honest advice. During the project I decided I needed further work done. I was on a deadline as I had family coming to visit & really wanted it all done before they arrived. Jerry understood this, & managed to coordinate so that both my projects were done in the same week. I'd had a large hedge removed from the backyard, which had taken away most of my privacy. What remained was a concrete fence with gaps between 6 bollards. I'd recently seen an episode of 'Design Star' where they'd had a similar fence & had built wooden railings between the bollards. It looked good. I discussed it with Jerry, & we spent one time working out the best look. I'm delighted with the results. I also had another smaller fence built along the opposite side of my backyard. Jerry's crew accidentally put this in with my side being the side which should have been outfacing. I called Jerry, & he instructed his crew to fix it. They ran out of boards, & I was a bit unhappy with some of the boards they used. Jerry came by to see, & he fixed the problem. I'm delighted with my new fences & gate, & thoroughly recommend this company.

21/2 days and finished.  The gates [measuring and custom fitting] added a half day.
Everything went as advertised.
We were satisfied, and paid upon completion.  I paid slightly more than half since I had a few more feet of fence on my property [and a slightly larger gate] than my neighbor.

Carl was always great. He did everything at a very reasonable cost. He's a very honest guy and he did the job in a timely manner.

Foothill Fence built a double gate with side panel fencing for my home, and the end result was exactly as I had hoped. The design I requested has horizontal placement of the boards, which with four different sections can be very challenging to accomplish neatly and evenly. This type of wood fence / gate design requires some real carpentry skill, vs. "standard" gate building. At first there was a small glitch with the line-up being a bit off kilter, but Carl (the owner) came back the very next day to take a look, and  immediately arranged for his crew to return and adjust the issue. I now have a well built, modern looking fence / gate that I am completely happy with.  Carl and his crew were very professional and courteous, showed up as scheduled, cleaned up all debris, and have great customer service.  I  highly recommend Foothill Fence.

Carl arrived exactly on time and provided a competitive estimate along with very useful advice regarding placement and the selection of materials.  His crew returned a week later to install the handrails. 
The crew was efficient, neat in their workmanship and skillfully handled the core drilling needed for two of the rails. The rest of rails were set in concrete. A great job all around.

The price was the best. But decided to go with the first company who respond.

I was pleased with their work and I would use them again in the future.

From Carl's original estimate to the final bracing of our fence, the work was totally professional in every way. 

Carl was the fastest to respond to my call and also had the best quote. He's very friendly and informative, and the work crew and foreman (Lorenzo, if I recall correctly) were great -- punctual, efficient, and polite. They were also very communicative with our neighbors and minimized any inconvenience to them. The job was done on time and on price. It looks beautiful and is very sturdy -- in the recent high winds it barely seemed to flinch. When my wife asked them to set aside some of the best planks from the old fence for some tables she wanted to make, they were very accommodating. No problems at all!

His crew arrived on time, tore down the old fence and hauled it away.  They  installed galvanized steel posts and completed the fence installation in three days.   It wasn't an easy job, because there was a tall hedge on one side and an existing steel mesh fence on another side.  There were also tall galvinized steel sprinkler heads near the fence.  But the crew managed to work around these obstacles and did a good job.

Very smooth job. They called back quickly, came out and gave an estimate in a couple of days, and started work a week or so after that. The whole job took them 3 days.

We lost part of our fence in the wind storm at the end of November 2011.  I called Carl Arentz of Foothill Fence for a quote shortly thereafter; although he was (understandably) very busy with quotes and jobs, he came out to give us a quote within a couple of days of my call.  He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.  We decided (along with our neighbor who shares the fence) to replace the entire length of the fence (approx. 100 lf), not just the destroyed portion.  Carl's estimate for the entire job (redwood planks with metal posts) was very reasonable.  The job started on time on the scheduled start date; the crew, including Carl's brother, was friendly and very good.  They finished the demolition (removal of the rest of the destroyed old redwood fence, a lattice portion, and a chain-link portion) in less than half a day and started the construction.  They finished the fence by the end of the second day.  They cleaned up at the end of both days.  The finished fence is gorgeous and so sturdy; in fact, we are having very strong winds today (2/16/12) and the fence is completely stable and secure.  I cannot recommend Foothill Fence highly enough.  We are planning to put in a gate across our driveway in the next few months and Carl and the crew will be doing the work.

Carl was very straightforward and answered any question I might have.  At first, he e-mailed the contract over & I wasn't going to agree with it but Carl followed up with me and answered my questions. 

I love the chain link fence and everything went according to what Carl had told me.

Carl responded to my phone inquiry very promptly,  set up at time to come by within a couple of days, sent an estimate very quickly, and scheduled the construction of the new fence within a week of my signing the contract.  We are very pleased with the finished product.

Did go with this company but the guy was nice and professional.  Price was slightly higher than the others and I had to wait 3 weeks for the work so I went with some couple of hunderd lower and did the fence the next week.

We ultimately chose another company, but it was based on a professional relationship I had there.  Foothill Fence's prices were good, and equivalent to other companies I got quotes from (including the one I chose).  If I had not known the person at the other company already, I would definitely have chosen Foothill Fence.  Carl was very prompt to our appointment, very professional in getting the quote together, and overall I felt very comfortable doing business with him.

They were prompt in returning the initial call and prompt in providing a quote.  The did exactly what we wanted in exactly the time they said.  Clean up was very good but not great BUT considering they hauled away our old yucky fence, I was happy to sweep up the last of the vinyl scraps (like sawdust, almost) that remained on the walk way.  Everything is exactly as they said it would be and exactly as we wanted! 

Too high of price not sure if I will use their services until I receive more estimates from other companies.

The job went without a hitch. The installers were very kind and courteous. Everyday before they left they made sure that everything was clean and tidy!!

The original inspection and estimate were done quickly and professionally, although the original estimate of $3400 to replace some fence boards, build a new gate and install a short vinyl fence and gate seemed high.  The actual work was done by subcontractors, who seemed to do a good job.  Subsequently, a painter pointed out quite a few additional boards on the fence with dry rot or termite damage, so the fence company was retained to take out and replace the additional bad boards.  This was done for a much more reasonable charge.  Again, the subcontractor did the work.
