If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I chose this company because of their Google reviews. Kevin Senior came out, measured, and was so professional. He described the jobs and worked with my logistical concerns of a raised existing garden/waterfall and pets on properties (3 behind and mine). I recieved 2 estimates: a 7ft and 8ft options. Once I approved, I recieved comparison photos of similar jobs like mine and a line drawing if my job scope. After my deposit, they arranged 311 to mark gas lines on my property. This past Monday, Jeremy and Jordan arrived to begin the job. Jeremy asked to walk the job with me to be clear with expectations (I liked that lots). He listened and he described the job plan. What a dynamic duo!!! They were so professional, worked very organized and as a team! The take down of my old fence was done neatly and they didn't have supplies scattered everywhere. Both very attention to detail oriented, the craftmenship definately reflects in their end product. Couldn't be happier. Also, they were commumicative and professional with my neighbors and collaborated with them (unloading supplies, etc) It is July! It's hot! They were soaking with sweat... but Jeremy and Jordan always had smiles, and a "yes mam" The old saying...You get what you pay for stands so true! Such quality products: my fence cap is a CEDAR 2x4!!!. And the walkthrough gate is a metal frame (no warping/sagging). I had my driveway gate replaced as well. Love the black! Can't say enough good. Rain caused some hiccoups, but my job was completed in 3 1/2 days. From Teresa in the office, Kevin in sales, and my install team of Jeremy and Jordan_ a stress free pleasant experience with outstanding end product that should last a very long time♡♡

STAY AWAY -218 days to complete job; (straighten a few poles and replace a 22 ft section) -prior to that, 3 times told someone would show up on Monday morning; All 3 times no-one showed and no-one called. -2 additional times was told they were 2-3 weeks behind and someone would call; No-one called. - Countless times had to call or text to either find out why they didn't show up or what was going on. - Once they finally arrived in May, installed wrong fence boards and just left without checking with me first. - Once they came back, they cut the bottoms of fence boards freehand with a circular saw which left the entire bottom of the fence crooked. (none of the boards were 90 degrees on bottom) They again left without checking with me. - Once another crew came back, they only arrived with 9 fence boards and said we'd have to reschedule again. - They finally finished the job properly on 05-31-22, a full 218 days from the time we paid and a full 92 days after the projected start date. This experience was a nightmare. The best way I can describe their attitude is apathy. Once we paid the deposit, the communication was horrible if not virtually non-existent. We were patient until about a month after the projected start date. Then, we literally had to call and text constantly and constantly threaten to contact the state, the bbb, and leave bad reviews to get them to take us seriously. And even after that, they never took responsibility, never showed an ounce of respect for our money, our time, or our helplessness in the situation. There is something very wrong at this company. Incompetence? Not sure. Something has to be going on behind the scenes because I know several people who have interacted with them over the years and decades ago they used to be a premium company. Now? You will pay a premium price for a budget job from an apathetic group of people. STAY AWAY

We contacted several companies to replace the fence at our residence. Most did not answer the phone, return calls or were not willing to take on smaller projects. Forsythe Fence took our call and were quick to schedule a visit. Al was great to deal with, took all the measurements and wrote a quote while onsite. They had a backlog of work, but we were advised of this. We opted for full replacement of our ~130’ fence. The price included demo of the wood fence and also an old chain link fence. The new fence is 6’ cedar with cap & trim. They replaced all the supports and installed a new gate. The two person crew were nice guys and worked hard. They ran into a few obstacles but never complained and there were no added costs. We have a neighbor who has dogs, so they finished that side of the fence first. The fence is straight as an arrow with no flaws and they left the work site clean. After calling around, it was clear that these fence contractors are very busy (probably more so now after the hurricane). So, I appreciate their willingness to take on the project and great communication throughout. I expect this fence to last a long time! But if in need, I would use them again without question. They have our highest recommendation.

We had another company install posts, but after they were unable to see the job through, we had forsyther come out to finish it. Perhaps they would have done a better job of they had done the entire job. Our main complaints were panels initially installed crooked and some shoddy concrete work. They did return to even out the panels to our liking.

Our contact at Forsythe, Bryan, worked closely with us on the fence layout. He provided us with various estimates prior to the fence installation and met with us on the property to discuss options for the layout. He was patient as we revised our layout plans one last time a week before the installation date and returned our phone calls in a timely manner whenever we had questions and/or left voicemails. Forsythe required a 50% deposit on the quoted contract total, with the remainder due upon installation completion. 
The installation itself was done by an experienced fence-builder, Troy. He was friendly and communicated well with us, asking us to review the fence line, cedar slat placement, and cedar slat ground clearance. He worked by himself over the course of two days, first installing the fence poles in concrete and letting them cure a couple of days before he returned to install the actual cedar fence itself. 
Upon completion, Troy showed us our new fence and the gate and gate hardware operation. Bryan called two days later to follow up on installation and emailed the final invoice that same day with amount due after deposit. 
We'd highly recommend Forsythe Fence to anyone looking for residential fence installation. Their prices are competitive and customer service superb.

After I called, Kevin was there a couple of days later to give me my estimate.  He said there would be about a two week period before they could come, but it actually turned out to be about a week. The installers were very efficient and professional. Loving my gate!

I contacted Forsythe by email and received a call from Kevin Forsythe the next day.  Within a couple of days, he had made a site inspection and provided an estimate for services and approximate date work would begin. We felt like the cost was reasonable.  Weather caused a couple of delays, but I was contacted and updated each time. The crew was professional, fast, and did a great job. The fence is well-built and attractive, all trash was removed as well as the old chain link, and we are very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Forsythe Fence Co.

The first job was done on time with no additional costs. They preformed the job when they said it would be done and cleaned up after. The second one got to a rocky start, i called and called and could not get a call back. When he did call back he apologized and got me the price. I used them again and he worked me in to the schedule. He did as he said and came and got the job knocked out! IT is exactly what I wanted and I would recommend them to anyone. I am a tough cookie to please and don't recommend many but Kevin Forsythe did what he said and i feel sure he will for you as well.

I got them from Angie's List. They did an excellent job. They cleaned up behind themselves, they were here before time, and they just got the work done with no fooling around. They were absolutely fabulous! I would recommend them and I have to my neighbors. Everything they did was really quality work. They came when they said they were going to come out, gave me an estimate, and told me when they could do it. We took 3 people from Angie's List and we chose them. They were all within $10-$50 the same. I chose them because they have so many years of experience and they live in the same parish as I do, and the accessibility where if I have a problem I could actually go and speak to them. Their price was not the lowest, it was the medium. If I need to have any fencing work done, I would absolutely use them again. They were very responsible. They told me they would be there at 9:00, and at 8:00 they were knocking on my door and they asked if it was alright or they could leave, but I told them they could start early. The earlier, the better so it was fine. I was very happy with the company.

Very prompt & professional from the start.  Beautiful workmanship.  I called on them because I noticed work they did in the neighborhood a few blocks away and made note of the name becuase it was so well done.  I am very satisfied and will definately call on them again.

"[member name removed], It was our pleasure to work around the dogs. They are usually one of the main reasons people are in the market for a fence. This is a regular service provided for our customers with pets. We thank you for your comment and of course, we hope that you will recommend us to all of your friends needing a new fence, custom chain link dog kennel or dog run. Bridget and Kevin Forsythe"

Forsythe was responsive, and helped figure out multiple options for what we were trying to accomplish.  They were able to outline the work that needed to be done to prep the site, and then installation happened when it was supposed to.

I originally made contact with the company on December 19, 2012 to set up an appointment to get an estimate.   Bryan Centanni met with me on December 21.  He was on time for the appointment; if memory serves me correctly, he got to the appointment site ahead of the appointment time.  He was very professional and courteous.  I explained to him what I wanted and he took measurements and notes.   He gave me a few design tips and ideas (which I was grateful for, because in retrospect, some of my ideas were not very good ones).   I was e-mailed an estimate THAT evening (December 21, 2012).  He did mention that because of the timing of the project  (right smack up against the Christmas holidays), it might be early January before the work would commence.  I responded to Bryan on December 22, accepting the terms of the estimate/contract.  He got back with me on December 26 saying that the order would be processed.  The work was completed by January 4, 2013.  Excellent worksmanship; quality materials.  The worksite was left very clean.  I would absolutely use this company again for fence work.

I am 100% pleased with the job that Forsythe Fence Company performed for my repairs.  I called Paul (the point of contact) to give me an estimate, and he arrived as promised.  From that point on, he kept in touch with me and kept me posted of the progress.  He was very professional, kind, and personable.  Paul sent several crews of contractors to perform the work I described above.  They did an extraordinarily beautiful job.  I have never been so pleased with contract work!  Forsythe fence company is hands-down the best fencing company in the state of Louisiana.  For most jobs they don't ask for a cent until the customer is happy with the work.  Paul did not call me or camp out at my front door for payment.  The best thing was that Forsythe Fence Company accepts credit card payments.  Now how cool is that?  I very highly recommend Forsythe Fence Company for all your fencing needs. I give you my word you will not regret choosing Forsythe Fence Company!!!  They are THE BEST...and their prices are very fair.
