Recent Fence Installation Contractor Reviews in Bowling Green
- S & B Fencing LLCExcellent workmanship, showed up when scheduled, very competitive pricing. Would definitely hire them again!
- S & B Fencing LLCThe team installed over 3,000 feet of horse fencing through pasture and wood line. They knocked out wood and T posts while executing a 5’ high, no claim fence. I’m addition, 4 x gates were hung. The fencing looks and works great. Straight lines, pulled tight and concreted posts. Much better looking and more stable than the neighbors. I was so impressed with them, I hired them for a deck extension, staining and to install a privacy wood fence. All jobs were executed on time, with a high standard or craftsmanship and were fairly priced. Will use again and highly recommend
- S & B Fencing LLCBrian is a perfectionist and also gives great advice!! He is very hard working and gets the job done!! Brian constructed one of our fences exactly to my drawings and the other fence was built to perfection as well.
- Cravens ConstructionRon and his crew are the best. Reliable, which is a rare find these days, with professional, quality workmanship. Reasonably priced. Ron stays on top of progress and quickly responds to our many texts. He’s done three jobs for us and he’ll be the first we call when we decide to do another project. Five stars
- Cravens ConstructionRon is amazing!!! He’s extremely friendly, fairly priced, he puts the extra effort into every detail, and I highly recommend.
- ALG Contracting, LLCThe fence and deck were stained. They look great. The job was neat, no mess up at all. He removed all the furniture from the deck and replaced it. I loved the way he was able to work around our flower beds. The only hassle we had at all was that he did not estimate the correct amount of stain to be used so we had to order and buy more which put us over budget for the project but the looks and appearance of the deck and fence is fantastic and worth the expense
- Empire Fence & Buildings of KentuckyJeremy of Empire fence made an appointment with me for an estimate. He was punctual and offered a price competitive with others I had received. I watched the progress of Empire Fence next to another company in two adjacent yards in my neighborhood. The Empire fence was installed far more efficiently. So, I went with them. Empire installed the fence efficiently and I am very pleased with the results. As a matter-of-fact, they worked during the Memorial Day weekend to complete my project. Further, I found Jeremy very easy to contact when necessary. If I could not reach Jeremy by phone immediately, he always called me back within a reasonable period of time. The final price of the fence was actually LESS than the estimate. But the quality of the work is the best part of the experience
- LOWE'SThey were very professional. My husband is German and he watched everything that was done. He makes sure that it is done right or not done at all. They did a beautiful job. They have a year warranty for the installation. We were very happy with the way they did it and the looks of it It is 100 degrees out there and I can't believe how great they worked and didn't stop. Their price was very competitive with everywhere else we looked. We had a pool put in and had to wait until it was installed before we could put the fence up. They called us every Monday to ask us if we were ready for them to come out and put up the fence. They were great about that
- Empire Fence & Buildings of KentuckyI called him and told him that I didn't need his services because it took him about three months to give an estimate. He just kept with me off making an appointment, he wouldn't show up, I even called up and it was just an unwilling situation. Finally I just said forget it because he was recommended to me by a friend. I wouldn't recommend him or use his services. He never would show up for estimate, footage or pictures of what is available or nothing and this went on and off for atleast two and half months. He gave one estimate and when he did the survey the property was more than what we had thought. So he was supposed to come out and give another estimate. Then I added a footage to another area but he never came back to give me an estimate whatsoever. He told me that he would be here to re-measure but he never even called
- Russell's Pools & ServicesIt was a really bad experience. They take your money in the beginning, and it took all summer to put in the pool. The fence had damage in the last storm, and now I have to wait for them to come out and put it back up.

"S&B did an excellent job on our deck around our pool. From start to finish they were very professional and concerned with our opinions to give us exactly what we wanted. They were by far the most reasonable price with their estimates and I was highly impressed with their quality of work that they did for us. I felt like they basically treated the project as if they were building the deck for themselves with the attention to the details they put into the deck. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to complete any similar projects or any other woodworking jobs. I have used them for two other projects already. They made a toy box for our first grandchild that was the highlight of her first Christmas and they made a wooden bench for our dining room table. We have been satisfied with all their work and plan on using them again in the future.

"I found them on Angie's List. They were very responsive and called me back right away. They were busy and sent someone out within a week or so. He looked at our property, we had some steps that were eroding and we don't need their services at all. He suggested getting a general contractor and rerouting the water away from our house, the drainage. It was good. It was just an estimate, so there wasn't a charge. Since he couldn't see anything that they could do, then there was no charge. He was very helpful and honest. He was very knowledgeable and I felt he knew what he was talking about. I appreciated that he didn't try to do a service that we didn't need. They got very high reviews.

Fencing FAQ
-
How much does it cost to install a fence?
Answer: The average cost to install a fence is $2,600. A variety of factors will impact the overall cost of fencing installation, such as the length of the fence, the materials you choose, and local labor costs. Fencing projects using the lowest cost materials and with lower labor costs can cost as little as $1 to $6 per linear foot, while projects using the highest cost materials and with higher labor costs may be as high as $15 to $45.
-
Do I need a permit to build a fence around a yard?
Answer: Whether you’ll need a permit to build a fence around your yard will depend on your city or county's local codes. Many metropolitan and suburban areas require a permit to install most fencing, but they may not for fences situated behind a house as opposed to in front of it or fences that don’t run within a certain distance of the road. To find out if you’ll need a permit to fence your yard, reach out directly to your local government office.
-
What is the cheapest fence to install?
Answer: The cheapest fencing to install is chain-link fencing. Chain-link fencing is typically cheaper than other fence types because the materials cost less, and installation is generally quicker and easier than other options. Chain-link fencing is affordable, easy to install, and low maintenance. However, it’s usually considered less secure than other options and doesn’t increase resale value as much as fences made of different materials.
-
Is a wood or vinyl fence cheaper?
Answer: Wood fences are generally cheaper than the cost of vinyl fences. While the cost of materials for wood and vinyl fences is usually very similar, the labor cost associated with installing a vinyl fence is higher. Wood fencing is also easier to install than vinyl fencing, making it possible to save money by making wood fence installation a DIY project. It’s also possible to DIY install a vinyl fence.
-
What is the life expectancy of a vinyl fence?
Answer: Vinyl fencing can be expected to last between 10 and 30 years. Vinyl fencing is generally low maintenance, but proper care will ensure it lasts as long as possible. Its long life span and high return on investment make vinyl fencing a popular option for many homeowners.
-
What type of fence adds to the property value?
Answer: Installing quality fencing, no matter the fence type, will generally add value to your property. In general, fences made of longer-lasting, lower-maintenance, and more attractive materials—like wrought-iron, composite, or vinyl—add more value to a property than fences made of lower-cost or less attractive materials, like chain-link. To ensure your fencing adds as much value to your home as possible, be sure it’s properly permitted, approved by your homeowners association (if you have one), and installed properly.
