They installed fence with a 8 ft swinging gate. Immediately had problems with the gate falling in on itself. Their solution was to have us put rocks down in the base of the post holding the gate. They claim they use concrete on the posts, yet you can wiggle every post. Anytime there is strong winds the fence does move. We had damaged done during the August storm and got a estimate for repairs from them and used a credit card to do the deposit. They never disclosed to me that if I asked for a refund of the deposit that they would charge me 3% to refund to credit card and that was the only way they would issue a refund, since I used the credit card in the first place. I do not recommend them.
Response from Central Iowa Fencing LTD
"Thank you for your review, [Member Name Removed]. We have gone ahead and refunded that transaction fee since that was not something you were told when you originally signed. We are charged this fee whenever we have any credit card transaction, but never pass that on to customers unless they cancel their contract. We are continuously updating our policies and procedures based on feedback like yours so we will be sure to include this in an updated contract. Sorry we weren't able to help you this time with your fencing needs."

After receiving quotes from a few different contractors I decided to hire Central Iowa Fencing. They were prompt, professional, and experienced in their craft. When the job was finished I noticed a couple things that I wanted done differently and it was as simple as a phone call. The owner came and checked things out, set up a date, and the changes were completed. The reception that I received over the phone was courteous and more than helpful. I would most definitely hire this company again, as well as recommend them highly to friends.

TJ, Alex and the Vinyl Crew were amazing! Very professional and efficient work. They picked up all debris and walked the fence with us afterward to make sure we were happy. Highly recommended!

The sales staff met with us twice and answered all our questions. The waiting time for the build was reasonable. Crew was professional, knew what they were doing. They consulted with us every step of the way during the tear-down and building. They made changes based on our requests. They were very efficient with their time. The fence looks great and we have received numerous compliments. Central Iowa Fencing does not put posts in cement - that philosophy was important to us. We had a little glitch getting the utilities ordered to be marked which delayed the start. But it all worked out and the staff member was extremely apologetic. I greatly appreciate the financing option. That helped make our decision on which company to hire.

The crew arrived on time and were very friendly. The supervisor of the crew had a great deal of experience building decks. and it turned out great. They finished in a very timely manner, and made sure the whole area was cleaned before they left. Now I don't have to be embarrassed to have friends sit on my deck. I would highly recommend this company!

It went amazing. They called me and informed me when an estimated time of week when it would they would be out to put the posts in. The day of putting posts in they called me to let me know my time had moved up if that was okay with me. Then the next day they put the chain link in. The work was done in a timely fashion.

They were quick and the process was smooth. I wasn't in a hurry, but there was a several week wait for the installation. Looks like a lot of people are trusting these guys with their fence installs.

We have been very happy with every aspect of working with Central Iowa Fencing.  Their estimate was lower than another estimate we received, and after looking at some other work they did near our house we decided to schedule them to install our fence.  They were willing to add a custom element to our fence (a cap at the top).
The crew who did the installation worked hard and were very helpful and respectful.  The job took a little longer than expected because they had to hand dig all of the posts (the ground was too soft for the post driver to secure the posts).  There was one minor oversight that we noticed after they left, and we let Mark know about it and it was fixed the next day.
The final product looks really nice.  They really paid attention to detail throughout the project and it shows.  We plan to use them again for our next project.

The quote took a little longer than I would have liked due to some miscommunications, but once we got that ironed out everything went great. The fence looks nice, the product seems sturdy and the installation was done well. The job took just over a day - exactly as they had communicated- and I came home to a new fence and a clean worksite. I would use them again.  I had bid the job several places and their quote was slightly lower than the competition, but not significantly so.  Their lead times were several weeks shorter, however.

Had them in for an estimate in May 2015. Agreed that if I tore out existing fence and let them use a bobcat price would be around $13250 plus $3 for any post that was ripped out for 320 linear feet of vinyl fence including 3 gates (1-double). They would start the week before & have done prior to the 4th of July. We left about 15-17 posts after tearing out and removing existing cedar fence. $6750 down.
They started Tuesday 6/30 with light prep and parked the bobcat in the driveway. Wednesday I came home to find bobcat tracks in my front, side and back yard because the ground was softer than anticipated. Ray offered to fill it in with dirt so I could seed or sod. I advised need to discuss with wife and advise. I sent ray and email that evening to fill in all of the tracks. Excluding gates fence was installed by Thursday  7/2, gates installed on Friday. We still have the dirt pile they were supposed to removed and the tracks in the front yard Ray had agreed to cover. Ray has yet to respond to my request to cover them so their remaining payment may be a bit slow...  Hence my lower ratings.
These guys have a good product but like a lot of people that do home projects they leave a mess behind even though they knew my neighbor would be replacing their fence next year and paying attention to their work.
