About 15 years ago, we purchased a swing set for our yard. Our kids and the neighborhood kids spent hours playing outside on it. Now that we are selling our home, we are leaving behind the set, and I have to believe that its presence in the yard helped the sale price. Truly a great long-term investment, that brought countless memories to our family.

Sandy Diamond (son of the owner) met with us initially and was very personable and really took the time to ask (and answer) questions to understand the style of fence we'd like. He gave us two addresses to look at before making our decision and they were beautiful. We had the work done in May of 2021 during their annual sale and we received a quote that was either better or very competitive with two other companies we received quotes from. Sandy was very responsive through the whole process and even showed up the first day of install as well as the 2nd (last) day to see how the finished product came out. The crew who did the work were very polite and efficient. We had a small issue with the front gate fitting too tightly about a week after install. I spoke with Sandy and he had the crew back out within a couple weeks (I told them it was not an urgent issue) and it was fixed within an hour. The fence is beautiful and has made out backyard a haven this summer.

Other vendors would not consider the short length of 20 feet. Although it took some time, Dean from Fenceworks came out to look at the damage and recommend repair or replacement. The fence is old but in reasonable condition, provides privacy that both I & my neighbors like. Because of zoning changes, a maximum of 6 foot heights are permitted for new fences. A major supporting post was severely damaged; he recommended replacing that and strengthening its connections to retain the fence height. The two workers arrived punctually, and did a very careful professional job. The price was high for a small job, but far less than replacing the whole fence.

Fenceworks did an excellent job. They replaced old fencing and installed new upgraded fencing, including two new gates. The crew came right on time, worked hard and finished in one day, staying later than the office was open. Their work was meticulous, all level, even though the ground they were working with was uneven everywhere. They actually build the fence on-site to ensure their measurements are perfect - no prefab panels! The result is much better looking than the fencing they replaced, and certainly several times better in quality. Their clean up was equally comprehensive - not a speck of dust left anywhere. Definitely a great experience, and on top of everything their estimate was the lowest of the three we interviewed.

"Thank you very much for your kind review. I'm very pleased that you are happy with your brand new fence [Member Name Removed]! You are correct in noticing that building it on site board by board is the only way to go especially with a ground that is not level. We hope you have an amazing summer and enjoy your new fence! Thank you again for your business! Sincerely, Sandy"

The Fenceworks team was amazing. Rob came to our house to discuss what we wanted done and provided us with a firm price quote before he left. The guys who came to install the fence were very professional and super hard workers. Within about 7 hours, they ripped out the old fence, installed the new one and hauled the old one away. They left the yard in great shape with no damage to the lawn or plants and all debris was cleared away. The entire process was easy, quick and efficient. Would definitely recommend Fenceworks.

It took a long time to get the job done but once they arrived it was quickly accomplished. A few days later I noticed there were some protruding screws due to a poor choice in mounting the door hardware. I called and sent photos, and someone came out and fixed it immediately. Excellent response
Response from FENCEWORKS INC
"Thank you for your review. We take pride in our workmanship but more importantly we want our customers to be very happy with our work. Our fences are built custom at your home so sometimes a protruding nail or bolt can happen so I'm glad to hear it got taken care of once we were notified. Thank you for your business and enjoy your fence. Sandy"

We hired Fenceworks to replace a fence that we have on one side of our back lot. The fence is approximately 76 feet long. The estimator was prompt and professional, and wrote up a detailed estimate. The workers came to do the job within three weeks of receiving our downpayment. They did a good job, and even worked well with the landscapers who happened to arrive that same morning that they started the fence job. The fence still looks great after a year, and we anticipate getting many years out of it.

The quality of the work was excellent and exceeded my expectations. We had a tricky situation involving a many trees. Nothing was damaged and it came out exactly as promised.

"Thank you for your review. Yes, those trees were very tricky, and I'm glad Jose and his crew were able to make it work as we discussed! Happy healthy new year and we hope you have a great year! Sandy"

Overpriced and when called to question, woman was rude. $800 for a teeny tiny fence! Save your money and go elsewhere!
Response from FENCEWORKS INC
"I met with your husband who was super nice and very very grateful I came out and priced job right then and there. He had NO issue with the price and gave me a deposit and purchased fence right on spot. We came out and installed everything according to contract. I have no idea what the issue is. Nobody forced your husband to buy the fence from us. If you weren't happy with the price then you could have gone elsewhere. I got along great with your husband and he was extremely happy."

Initial experience was very positive. Fence works was helpful through both email and phone conversations in slecting a product. It was the installation and follow up where they stumbled. The installer put the hoop in slightly crooked. It's not off by much, but it's not totally perpendicular to the driveway. Granted, it's a third party doing the install but it was their contractor, not someone I found. And amazingly nobody from Fenceworks contacted me after install to see how it went. You would think after a major purchase they would follow up to see if it went smoothly. But I didn't receive a call, email of letter. Very disappointing. Would be hesitant to use again.

This project went well from start to finish. The person who came to assess and provide an estimate for the job arrived on time and gave an estimate right away. The crew who did the installation worked hard and worked with care. We could not have asked for better service. We are pleased with the workmanship.

The first install was not to my liking (the fence used was an adjustable and I did not like the look of it, especially on a non-graded surface). After some back and forth, Fenceworks did the right thing, and replaced the original installation. Because of this, I called on them again to complete the second install. They are through, show up when they say they will, and provide honest and fair pricing. I would recommend them to anyone.

"Thank you for your nice review and repeat business. As a business that's been around for over 40 years we always strive to be the best in what we do. I remember your concern last year with the first fence we installed ,and I told you I'd make it right. Thank you again, Sandy."

It was very easy to get a quote and I would say it was competitive. The fence looks nice although one gate was installed backwards. Unfortunately the company used the old post holes instead of ensuring holes were within our property line and as a result our south fence is just over the property line. I wasn't aware of this until that house went up for sale. Thankfully there have been no issues but I would ensure they are doing the work correctly and leveraging the provided land survey if you choose to use them.
Response from FENCEWORKS INC
"Thank you for your review. Your fence was actually done in 2010 according to your contract. So 5 years later if a new survey was done for the house next to you , it may show a discrepancy with your survey. We always work with our customers survey, if it was provided to us at installation time , and not a neighbors survey. You stated that there hasn't been an issue , which is good, but if there is feel free to contact us . Glad you are enjoying your fence , and I appreciate you thought we were easy to work with ,Thank you Sandy"

Overall very well. Initial lock set would not work but rescheduled and installed a week later.

"Thank you for your review. I enjoyed working with you again and glad we were able to repair your posts and add the key lock to your gate. Please don't hesitate to call if you need anything else. Sandy"
