Price was fair and competitive. Communication was Professional . Installation was Punctual and professional ! From the moment Miss Rebecca came to my house ( with complete Covid protocol), she was punctual, informative and professional. She quoted me a few options with a couple of different materials. When we decided to move forward, her communication was on point, she kept us aware of all time lines ( getting permits and materials during Covid) and was flexible with our scheduling requests for installation. When Alan ( her husband) came to the house for installation, he was punctual, professional and polite. He answered all questions and you could tell that his experience was extensive. Nothing but good feelings about this project . You can tell that they care about doing it right and making the customer happy with the job and satisfied with the choice.

First Class Fence was awesome! I was amazed at the depth of their knowledge about what the city and subdivision requirements were for my particular area. They were so professional and soooo nice. They kept me informed about every step of the process from getting the permits to the installation. The installation was excellent and I am so happy with my fence. Not only was the quality excellent, but the price was lower than my other estimates and they included so much more.

I hired First Class Fence to install a fence to keep my dogs in the backyard...which I was worried about being that my backyard is the development wall as well and I was worried about the aesthetics. From my initial phone call with Rebecca, one of the owners, through installation, her and Alan, the other owner, were extremely helpful and professional. All scheduled appointments were kept (and if you live in South Florida you know what an incredible problem that can be with contractors). I am a woman and I can be a little ignorant about these kinds of things and Alan took extra time explaining the process to me...more than once. Every call I made was either answered or returned promptly. Alan arrived every day, as scheduled, even in the blistering heat and humidity. I worried for nothing, the fence is beautiful and adds to the aesthetics.

First Class Fence has exceeded my expectations and I cannot say enough great things about their customer service, communication, installation and professionalism. Rebecca is a true communicator and provides you with all the details up front and through the process to allow you to be at ease knowing the job is being handled without issue or delay. Allen was very experienced and professional. Our fence looks great! I usually do not give reviews but I just had to given the all-around positive experience we had.

Excellent experience with 1st Class Fence and Rail. Rebecca and Alan were both very knowledgable and professional. Everything went as planned and on time each step of the way. Rebecca’s attention to details and keeping in touch with the scheduling progress was a plus. The fence is of the best quality available and the stump removal and additional work that we had done came out equally as well. All this was also at a very competitive and reasonable price point for a reputable contractor. Definitely recommend.

Response from First Class Fence & Stump Removal
As a highly rated contractor any review less than A is disturbing and we take it personally. This one is 100% not accurate and we believe this member has confused us with someone else. She called on a Saturday when we are not open. We called her back within hours on the same Saturday but got voicemail. We emailed her 7 minutes later that we had an opening early Monday morning if we could connect and discuss we may be able to fit her in. She responded with an email stating some other facts about her job that are troubling to us. She also stated that she was not available Monday morning so we responded we would call her Monday to discuss her project. She asked to call after 3. We were booked after 3 on appts on the road so tried a few times to call her earlier in the day but got voicemail. Next day tried again to call but got voicemail so emailed her giving all the details of why we could not help her based on her explanation of the project issues, or how it could be resolved so that we could help her. She never responded back to that email on Tuesday. We never made an appointment with her, we always show up when we set appointments and we went over and above all communication possibilities even when our business was not even open over the weekends. We are asking that this review be removed as it is not representative of the facts and we have proof of these facts in writing. Anyone wanting to read proof of the communications can contact us and I will gladly forward it to them.

We had a wonderful experience working with Rebecca and her husband Alan! My husband and I wanted a horizontal PVC fence installed and it looks absolutely beautiful - we are so pleased with their work. Rebecca was punctual, knowledgeable, and extremely organized. She explained the entire process to us so we would know exactly what to expect when it came to permits and city workers coming to look at our property. She let us know that the prep work would be lengthy and it was. However, once the permits were obtained and the appropriate documents were in place, Alan completed the installation of the fence in under three days! Overall, we had an excellent experience and would recommend them again!

We had five different Fencing Companies come out to our house to look over the property and provide quotes. Four of the five actually provided a quote. The only company to actually quote exactly what we wanted was First Class Fence. Other Companies either provided inferior materials in their quote or tried to talk us out of what we wanted. First Class Fence provided electronic brochures about their PVC Fencing, a sample of the product that I requested and web links to the PVC Fence Manufacturer when they provided their quote. They were the only contractor to do this for us. I've worked for a Commercial AC Construction Contractor for over 36 years and I would have to say that based on my personal experience working with different contractors over the years, First Class Fence is a top notch, Professional Contractor providing quality products, service and quality construction! The fence passed all inspections and one inspector from my city commented on how good the fence looked. I agreed with the inspector, the fence looks great! My wife and I couldn't be more pleased! We "highly recommend" First Class Fence & Stump Removal to anyone considering new fencing at their property. Sincerely, Karlua & Tom Giguere

From first contact to last, I couldn't have been happier. Their pricing was reasonable and appropriate for superior work. All questions were answered in a timely and professional manner. I was kept fully informed from beginning to end when things were going to happen and how the city permit process was proceeding. Every appointment whether it was to sign papers or to do the work was on time. The work itself was excellent resulting in a fine looking fence that adds value to my home.

1st class fence took all the worry out of hiring someone from the start. As a single women I know I have to be careful not to hire the wrong person as the results can be awful. I felt very comfortable talking with The owner Rebecca from day one. Very knowledgeable, putting my concerns to rest. The payment were in increments divided into a fair process. She always kept her word on everything. Phone calls, times that she would show up to my house and start date. She walked me through every step. I never felt worried about the outcome. The fence went up in one day. It is perfect! Beautiful, straight, and just as we talked about. The workers were very polite and efficient. I would recommend them and I would definitely hire them again.

Wonderful to work with, easy sale. They listened to my need for the gate to keep my morkie from running through the slats, it turned out beautiful. I've gotten many compliments! The installer was a gentleman and professional. The apt. was scheduled for 8:00 am, he was earlier and I was able to make it to work on time! I would definitely recommend First Class Fence.

Very knowledgeable of product, installation and permitting. More expensive than other bids, but you get a stronger product and more professional installation. Other installers used a post hole digger and cut off length rather than digging through the hard South Florida rock to put posts in to a proper depth. First Class had the proper tools to do the job correctly. Everything was thoroughly explained up front and the execution was exactly as described. Follow up with the city and my HOA was flawless. I was updated regularly through the process and I never waited for a response to any question or concern. I had no doubt the job would be completed perfectly. Installer even arrived early to make sure he got the information he needed from me and I got to work on time. This was totally stress free for me. Very rarely do you have no regrets after having work done...I am regret free and thrilled with the results.

First Class was First Class! A local husband and wife team that walked us through every step of the way from estimate to final inspection. Rebecca is very detail oriented and very responsive. She explains everything about the process and what they are doing and what else is needed. She handled all the paperwork with my city, which is notorious for being a permitting hassle. Alan and his partner did all of the work themselves...no sub-contractors. I knew who I would see in my backyard every day, instead of being surprised by random workers that changed daily like in some other projects. Alan explained the reasoning of why he does certain things a particular way...even though it may be a more difficult process for him, it's the RIGHT way to do it without cutting corners like many companies do. In the end, everything came out awesome. My fence is the envy of my neighbors. I got quotes from multiple vendors for this fence. Although they weren't the cheapest of the bunch, First Class was priced very reasonably compared to other vendors. I think you get what you pay for with these type of projects, and it shows in Alan's quality workmanship. I would absolutely hire them again for fencing needs.

Fabulous...Great...Incrediable. I HIGHLY recommend First Class Fence. They are very professional yet friendly from first contact to very last step. I cannot think of anything negative. They met or exceeded ALL our expectations. Answered all questions. Were able to start the project before anticipated and completed the entire project in 2/3rds the estimated time. If you need a new fence and want it done RIGHT give these folks a call.
