Luis did a wonderful job both times I had him out.  He is great at both building a whole new iron fence and at repairing and replacing a very old wooden fence.  He answers calls promptly.  He comes when he says he will and stays to complete the job no matter what the weather.  The first time I had him out he kept working in spite of a biting cold rain on one of the days. This time, it was just plain cold and miserable, but he worked right through it and did a great job.

Mr. Estrada was wonderful in every possible way. He answers phone calls personally, and returns missed calls promptly. He is very patient in explaining procedures and options and going over pricing. His pricing is very reasonable - and saved me hundreds compared to Tru-Link and some other one whose name I already forgot.
His team is absolutely professional - all skilled, talented, efficient, respectable and experienced craftsmen. All in all the fence turned out better than I had imagined or expected. It's straight and true and beautiful to look at, with good quality materials. They built it made to last. I think it will still be standing a good fifty or more years from now! It's really solid. 
They even went wayyy out of their way to do me a favor, and used some of the scrap to build me a little halloween coffin that I asked them to make for a creepy monkey doll I have. The first one they made was larger than I wanted, so they did it all over again! How nice is that?? What great guys, to do something like that for me! They were all so pleasant. 
If there is only one small thing to mention, and it's just for particular fussbuttons, if you are picky and anal about small drops of cement possibly falling onto your existing patio or sidewalk, let them know upfront to be extra careful and put tarps down. I noticed a little dribble here and there, but I think that's to be expected by any team of hardworking men who do this type of work. 
I highly recommend Estrada Fences, and plan on having them install a front-yard security fence next summer. I trust the quality of their work implicitly.

Time frame = two days!  Maybe because we were a very small job, but either way...very grateful.
Monday, 3:30 pm.  I called and Luis Estrada answered his phone(!!) his response to my query was "when can I come to see you?"
Monday 5:00 p.m.  Estimate made, agreement to do the work done.  He thought about it and said "tomorrow or Friday, but for sure this week."   I wanted to doubt him but he was very earnest.  
Tuesday 3:00 p.m.  I return home from a meeting and there are men in my yard completing demo on that rotten, floppy fence. 
Tuesday 4:30 p.m. chain link fence complete, they left no mess in the yard, took the old fence away, Mr. Estrada asked me to inspect the work before collecting payment.
Best estimate, most honest experience.  He even thanked us for our business.  Now that we have all chain link we
probably won't be needing him, so if you do...high praise.

They completed the work in 2 days, as promised. We had a few immediate issues with gate, so workers had to return a few days later to fix. Luis Estrada was very responsive to our phone calls and requests for his team to return to fix problems at first. However, some later issues were not addressed, as requested. One member of the crew was extremely responsive to our requests, but the others were not.

It went very well. They completed the job within a couple of hours. They did everything they said they were going to do and more. They fixed the lock on the fence which was not required, but we were very happy that they did this.

Estrada started the work two days after I told Luis I wanted him to do the job.  The first day he worked in spite of a rain storm.  He remained working at the house the whole day. even through it never stopped raining.  He came back the next day (a Saturday) and finished the job.   His workers were all pleasant and well mannered.  When they finished the job, they cleaned up all the litter that had accumulated.

Mr. Estrada came promptly to give me an estimate for a 90 ft. replacement of a deteriorated wooden fence with a 6 foot chain link.  He was able to complete the job the next day.  His workers arrived promptly and worked all day.  The fencing and posts are not perfectly plumbed, but there are big tree roots and bushes on both sides that had to be worked around.  The fence looks secure.  I was not aware that some of the bushes and plantings would have to be removed and was a bit surprised.  I understand, however, why this was needed but I wasn't expecting the degree of trampling.  Cleanup was not as thorough as I would have liked --- gravel and concrete dust on driveway and some bolts and bits of wire left behind.I am pleased with the result and how the job was handled.  I believe I got a very fair price and would use them again.

Estrada put up a cedar fence in April. The quality was good for the price we paid, though the height of some of the posts weren't the same and some of the screws were still sticking out. They told us it would need to be stained about 4 weeks later to protect it from graying. So about a month later we called to get a quote on staining. We got him to come down about $50 off the original quote, we picked out ac cherry wood stain (per his suggestion), and then we scheduled the work to be done on a Saturday.
Here's where it all goes wrong... the Friday before they were supposed to come out, Luis called and asked if they could come that day instead. We were hesitant since we wouldn't be there to make sure everything was done properly, but he assured us it was ok for us not to be home. At the end of the day we never received a call telling us the work had been completed, so we assumed everything went smoothly. When we got home that evening, though, we were horrified to find a pick, splotchy stained fence. It looked terrible. What's worse, they had used a spray gun to apply the stain, and they had gotten stain on everything in our back yard, including the vegetables in our garden. It was on our downspouts, our patio furniture (which could have been moved out of the way), the neighbors fence, the brick on our house...everything. Had we been home, we would have covered what we could, but instead we ended up having to pull up most of our vegetables. At that point, we called Luis to ask what happened and why the fence looked so bad. He said the stain wouldn't take on the wood for some reason and they the amount of money he quoted us wasn't enough to cover it. After some pushing, he agreed to come back the next morning and apply more stain.
The next day, we waited around until 2:00 pm for them to show up (after calling Luis numerous times and being told they'd be there "soon"). The 2 guys that came had not been told that they needed to restain the entire fence, so then 1 of them had to go back and get more supplies. They finally got started again (not bothering to put tarps or plastic over anything again) and after 2 more hours, the stain still didn't look right. We had to continually point out areas where it was blotchy. When we asked them why it looked so bad, they told us Luis had told them to only put 2 coats of stain on, and that usually a job like that requires at least 3 coats. When they were done, Luis got on the phone with us and started to get loud about having to send his guys out there and use all that stain. He ultimately hung up on us.
We completely regret having Estrada Fences install and stain our fence. Please save yourself the headache and go with someone more professional.

Mr.  Estrada came and made an estimate of the cost.  He was the low bidder.  He selected a date to install the fence. His crew constructed the fence in a timely manner.  I was pleased with the quality of the fence and the way the job was handled.

Called Luis on Tuesday, he came right on time to give me an estimate.  Crew arrived on Thursday just before the appointed time and began work immediately.  Gave them a few specifics for the job and they started immediately.  Everything went smoothly and they completed the job within 3 hours.  Job was excellent and workers were very proficient.  When they finished, everything (old fencing) was picked up and taken away.  I couldn't be more happier with the job they did.  Would use them again, without question.  They are prompt and efficient.

I found him on Angie’s List. I had an excellent experience with him. I am a tight guy; in retrospect I believe it was a fair price for both parties. When I gave him instructions, he came out here and told his people “Here’s what you do, do, do”. As they were doing the job, I wasn’t happy and I told them “This is not what I told Mr. Estrada” and they corrected it. They did it the way I wanted it. I have to say they were responsive to me; they did do it the way I wanted it. I am planning to use him again. I am going to be required by court to fence a vacant lot that I have. I will find out this weekend what the city ordinance wants me to do, regarding their ordinances on an empty lot. If they require a fence, he is going to get the job.

Had an appointment set at 3:00. They arrived 30min early and parked in the driveway while another company was finsihing estimate and then drove away and called and asked if they could push appointment up to 2:45. I said sure but then the guy called back in another 5min and said he had to go to a job site and would ahve to come back another day..... even though he had just left. Seemed very unprofessional and I don't think they are licensed....just thought so many good reviews would be worth it. A little too shady for me??????

This is my second time using Estrada Fences.  Both times they came out asap to do rush jobs.  Can't say enough good things about them!  Luis is so responsive and courteous, and his prices are GREAT.  I highly recommend them.

I left a message on Mr. Estrada's voice mail on a Saturday. He returned my call within an hour or so and was at my place to provide a estimate within about 45 min. He said that this was a relatively small job and was glad for me that the entire fence did not need to be replaced. He said because it was a small job and he needed to get a day when he could string a number of those together it would be a number of days before he could get to it. The following Saturday he and his workers were at my house when he said they'd be. In addition to himself, there were 3 other workers and they finished the job and clean up within about 2 hours.Luis and his crew were very professional and I'm completely satisfied with the outcome. I would recommend them to others, and would use his company again.

Everything was taken care of on a timely basis... coming to the house to look at the job, providing a price, scheduling the work, performing the work.    The price was more than reasonable.  The quality of work was good and they got a good size job done in one day.   What's not to like?

I call Mister Estrada made an appointment with him. He showed up 15 min. early to his appointment we agreed on the price and as soon as I had the ok from the city, we set a start date. Unfortunately that day we had a snow storm and they couldn't make it, but they showed up 2 days later with all the snow still on the ground, they got all the work done in 2 days. The quality of the work and materials exceed my high expectations. I'm very satisfied with this company.

We had a broken fence post, and Luis and his crew were working in the neighborhood and were able to come out the same day.  The repair was quick and professional, and the crew was friendly, efficient, and did not leave any mess behind.  They even shored up some loose hardware that was not part of the additional job.  We are very pleased with Estrada fencing and would definitely hire them in the future.

I wish every home improvement situation could be this pleasant! I called Luis on a Saturday, and he came out for an estimate on Sunday afternoon. His estimate was was great, and he said he could have a crew at our house by 9:30 the next morning. Great! The crew arrived early, was polite and professional, and worked quickly. Luis came by to check in that everything was okay with me and the workers. A new, beautiful fence was up within a couple hours. I would call on Estrada Fences again without hesitation, and I will recommend him to friends and neighbors.
