"We had a 6 ft wooden fence replaced with an 8 ft wooden fence. We also had an existing wooden gate eliminated. My husband and I are more than satisfied with the job "Edge Residential Service" performed. The company is owned by a wonderful man, Nathan, who is the perfect mix of professional and personable. The job was performed quickly with considerable care. Nathan wanted to make sure I'd love our new fence and I do! He and his staff were on time each day and they were extremely considerate of our home. I've already referred him to a guy who delivered furniture at our home. If anyone asks who did our fence I will shout "Edge Residential Service!" They offer good, quality work, are on time, and clean up in an excellent manner! If I need anything else done I'll call Nathan for sure!"
