We used Bear fence to install vinyl replacement fencing around our backyard in 2010. They did a good job and thus had them return to install another gate on the side of the yard with older fencing. They installed solar fence posts which looked good for about a year and then the lights fixtures kept dying. I had Brad from Eco Greenscape hard wire the lights w/ a timer box and the compliments are bountiful from company and neighbors that visit my house.
They are a bit pricey compared to what other friends have said from other prices paid to contractors.
set expectations/price/timelines appropriately.
The crew didn't clean up well after the work: someone left a small pile of not-quite-dry paint--remains from a paint container--in a puddle on the ground in our front yard. They also left a few fragments and pieces of debris from the old, wooden fence strewn around. Some concrete blocks that we had previously placed along the edge of the wooden fence were left in disarray in the same area. Apparently, the supervisor didn't check the area before they left! We didn't notice this mess initially, as the discarded materials were tossed under some tree branches, a short distance from the actual fence. However, we noticed it within the next day or so--as did our neighbors, whose property connects with that area of our property! We cleaned up the area immediately rather than phoning for someone from Bear Fence Co. to come out.
There were a couple of adjustments needed within a week or two after the project was finished. (1) One gate latch was binding (not opening) and (2) the placement of a row of fencing was not quite symmetrical within its space, leaving a larger open space on one side than on the other. Jeff Behr came out promptly to make the adjustments, and we were satisfied with the and quot;fixes.and quot; Jeff's attitude was gracious and helpful.
We live in a neighborhood with an HOA and Jeff realized we had some of our own paperwork to do so he provided a very detailed estimate with all the info the HOA needed. We were also splitting the cost of the fence with our neighbor so he had to make an extra trip back out to talk to them when they had questions. He had no issues with it and was very nice considering he answered the same questions the first time around. I guess they needed to hear it from the fence guy.
Additionally, we had a mud board put in. Our neighbors property is 18and quot; lower than ours and Jeff said the best way to keep the earth from shifting and a good way to protect the fence would be to go with a mud board. It was much, much less expensive than putting in a cement boarder.
I chose Bear Fence because they ONLY do fences and their bid came in slightly less than the other 2 bids I received. They made it simple and that's what I was looking for. We had to hire someone else to paint the fence, but Jeff said he could refer if we needed someone good.
